Rich Somers sits down with Phil Vella, CEO of Vita Bella Health, to talk about the future of health, hormones, peptides, GLP-1s, and the massive shift happening in human performance. Phil breaks down why testosterone can be the foundation for men’s health, how peptides and NAD+ are being used for energy, recovery, and longevity, and why weight-loss drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide are only the beginning of what he calls the “biology boom.”

They also dive into the dangers of chasing quick fixes, the risks of gray-market peptides, and why true health still comes back to discipline, muscle, nutrition, and building the right foundation. From anti-aging and hormone optimization to masculinity, leadership, and becoming a stronger man, this episode explores what the next era of health could look like and what people need to know before jumping in.

In this episode Rich Somers sits down with Rich Torres to discuss how business owners and real estate investors can use credit as a tool to access capital, build leverage, and create more financial flexibility. Rich breaks down why he believes people should stop relying on debit cards and cash, how credit card points can turn everyday spending into travel rewards, and how strong credit profiles can open the door to $100K, $200K, or even $300K in 0% interest business funding.

Rich also explains the process of fixing credit, building credit, keeping utilization low, and using funding strategically instead of recklessly. From launching a business to scaling an existing company or funding real estate opportunities, this conversation gives listeners a practical look at how credit can become one of the most powerful tools in their financial arsenal when used the right way.

Today Rich Somers sit's down wit Trish Scelfo to unpack the world of franchising, business ownership, and how entrepreneurs can find the right opportunity based on their personality, strengths, capital, and long-term goals.
