A Healthy Point of View Podcast w/ Sam Tejada He Sold 700+ Clinics: The IV Therapy Playbook They Don’t Teach You | Ben Crosbie | Ep. 85
The IV therapy industry is exploding—and today we’re unpacking how it really scales with franchise powerhouse Ben Crosbie, CEO of The DRIPBaR and leadership board member of the American IV Association (AIVA). Ben reveals the playbook behind selling 700+ territories, opening 100+ clinics, expanding into Canada, Bermuda, and India, and why the future of wellness looks like a hub-and-spoke model with IVs at the core.
We also dive into the VIBE Conference (Sept 26–28, Orlando)—the world’s largest vitamin infusion business expo—plus the emergence of Health Brands, a collaborative path toward industry roll-ups and smarter vendor alignment. If you’re a clinic owner, investor, or wellness entrepreneur, this one’s a masterclass in franchising, operations, and durable growth.
