Galt distributes FDA-approved products with a focus on non-opioid pain management directly through independent pharmacies, bypassing the traditional wholesale channel entirely. The result is a leaner cost structure, better patient access, and a business opportunity that doesn't require leaving healthcare to pursue. Barry walks through how the franchise system works, what it takes to qualify as a franchisee, and why independent pharmacies are central to the model. With 500 territories across the U.S. and 450 still available, the opportunity is early-stage enough to be worth understanding now.
