Fort Collins, United States, November 7, 2026 -- Rx Peps Direct founder featured in Leaders Perception interview

Marcus Hansen, founder and CEO of Rx Peps Direct, a telehealth practice based in Fort Collins, Colorado, was featured in a "Behind the Business" interview published by Leaders Perception on November 3, 2026. The interview, titled "How Rx Peps Direct separates care from medication costs," covers the company's decision to separate medical review fees from medication costs, its organic growth strategy, and the role of patient feedback in shaping its services. Hansen is also profiled on Leaders Thoughts, which summarizes his views on customer experience, decision-making, and operations.

Rx Peps Direct CEO, Marcus Hansen

Rx Peps Direct connects adults with licensed providers for prescription peptide therapy. The company initially used a bundled pricing model that combined the provider review, the peptide, and shipping into a single charge. Hansen told Leaders Perception that this approach often left patients unclear about the cost breakdown. As a result, the company split the bill into two parts: a $39 medical review fee paid directly to Rx Peps Direct, and a separate medication charge billed by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Rx Peps Direct does not mark up the medication or take a percentage of the pharmacy's price.

Company growth and patient feedback

Rx Peps Direct took its first patients in May 2026. As of November 6, 2026, the practice has approved 4,037 orders for 2,188 patients. Hansen said the growth has been entirely organic, driven by search engines, AI search results, word of mouth, and referrals from current patients. He also noted that the company's decision to seek patient feedback led to the launch of a $99-per-month plan in late October, which includes a monthly video visit with a provider. The plan is available in 11 states.

In the interview, Hansen advised entrepreneurs entering the peptide business to avoid starting a research-use-only company. Instead, he recommended building a compliant compounded peptide business with a covered corporate practice of medicine, starting with a white-label medical partner. He suggested spending the first 12 months building revenue, then transitioning to direct relationships with pharmacies and hiring clinical staff to manage the medical side.

Warriors win 6th straight game

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry scored 29 points, Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and the Golden State Warriors won their sixth straight game by beating the Miami Heat, 120-100, on Thursday (Friday in Manila). Giannis Antetokounmpo had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Davion Mitchell contributed 22 points and eight assists and Bam Adebayo added 18 and 10 rebounds for Miami, which was outscored 26-9 during one crucial stretch of the third quarter and couldn’t recover. Draymond Green had a season-high 11 assists and Georges Niang scored 13 points off the bench as the Warriors extended their winning streak since starting the season 0-3. Curry began 1 for 8 and was 2 of 10 at halftime before coming on in the third quarter and finished 9 for 19 with six 3-pointers, just missing his fourth straight game with 30 or more points because he rested once the game was out of hand. Former Splash Brother Klay Thompson scored 11 points in his return and reunion with his former Warriors team and received a warm ovation before tipoff. A night after Thompson hit a winning 3-pointer with a second left in overtime of a 117-116 victory at the Clippers, he finished 3 for 10 from the floor. Andrew Wiggins also faced his old Golden State teammates and scored just two points on 1-of-6 shooting to go with six rebounds and four assists for the Heat in their third stop on a five-game West Coast road trip. Miami is focused on defending the 3-point line, coach Erik Spoelstra calling it “high on the priority list.” The Warriors wound up 39 percent — 16 for 41 — from long range. With his 3-pointer at the 7:03 mark of the opening quarter, Curry moved into 17th place on the NBA’s career scoring list by passing Oscar Robertson (26,710). Suns 117, Magic 104 In Phoenix, Devin Booker scored 30 points, Dillon Brooks added 24 and the Phoenix Suns snapped a four-game losing streak. The Suns won a night after falling at home to Portland. The Magic have dropped three straight. Booker and Brooks hit back-to-back 3s midway through the third quarter to extend the Suns’ lead to 78-60 and they pushed that advantage to 96-73 heading into the fourth. Collin Gillespie’s 3-pointer with 9:20 left gave the Suns a 30-point lead, which was the largest of the night. Miles Bridges added 18 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. The Suns shot 17 of 34 (50 percent) from 3-point range with Booker and Brooks both hitting four. Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. had 27 points on 10 of 12 shooting and added 13 rebounds, Tristan da Silva scored 18 off the bench while Franz Wagner had 15 points and 15 assists. The Magic had 25 turnovers, which the Suns turned into 36 points. The Suns controlled most of the first half and Booker hit a 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer for a 63-51 lead. Booker scored 23 in the first half on 8 of 13 shooting, including 3 of 4 from behind the arc. Carter led the Magic before the break with 13 points and eight rebounds.

McIlroy hit with 2-shot penalty in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI — Rory McIlroy incurred a two-stroke penalty at the end of his opening round at the Abu Dhabi Championship on Thursday for a rules infringement, with Italy’s Francesco Laporta storming into the lead. Officials ruled that McIlroy improved his lie on the 12th hole when he appeared to press down grass behind his ball with his club before chipping at Yas Links. He initially made a double bogey on the par-four hole, but that later became an eight as he posted a two-under 70, leaving him eight shots off the pace set by Laporta in his bid for a record-equaling eighth Race to Dubai title. “There’s no intent. I play by the rules,” said McIlroy. “I try to do everything that I can to never end up in these positions.” “But just by looking at the video, like it doesn’t look very good,” he added. “Obviously that wasn’t my intent. I’m just trying to get a feel for the lie. “I guess the technical term for the rule is if you press down on the piece (of grass). I don’t feel like I pressed down. But at the same time, I don’t want the perception of, like, people thinking like I got away with something either. “So I’m happy to take a 2-shot penalty and move on and move into tomorrow.” Laporta fired a bogey-free 62 featuring eight birdies and an eagle to open up a three-shot lead over Jon Rahm, Bernd Wiesberger and Sam Bairstow. Rahm, making his tournament debut after agreeing a departure from LIV Golf last month, had not played since September following the birth of his daughter. The 36-year-old Laporta is seeking his first European Tour win while also bidding to climb into the 50-player field for the season-ending Tour Championship next week in Dubai. “Everything was just going like a video game, like just hitting shots straight and making some putts and just giving myself opportunities,” said Laporta. “I’m very happy about that.” Current Race to Dubai leader Eugenio Chacarra matched McIlroy with an opening 70, while second-placed Patrick Reed struggled and finished two over par for the day.

Alcaraz into Paris Masters quarterfinals

Alcaraz into Paris Masters quarterfinals

PARIS, France — Carlos Alcaraz moved into the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after his last 16 opponent Matteo Berrettini withdrew. Alcaraz, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, was scheduled to play the Italian, but Berrettini pulled out ahead of their encounter with an elbow injury. “Unfortunately, the pain in my arm that I’ve been putting up with for the past few days means I won’t be able to take to the court tonight,” Berrettini posted on social media. After receiving a bye through the first round as a top-eight seed, Alcaraz is into the last eight with only one match under his belt in Paris, a straight-sets success against Alex Michelsen. He will meet American Taylor Fritz on Friday for a spot in the semifinals. Fritz beat French sixth seed Arthur Fils, 6-3, 6-4, to stay in the running for a place at the ATP Finals. Alcaraz has never won the Paris Masters. The Spaniard is the top-ranked player remaining in the draw after world number one Alexander Zverev lost on Wednesday. Berrettini, 30, has endured an injury-plagued career and was forced to retire earlier this season in Paris when a hip issue brought a premature end to his French Open quarter-final clash with Matteo Arnaldi. Ben Shelton overcame France’s Arthur Rinderknech in a third-set tie-break to secure his passage into the quarterfinals. The American third seed battled past the 68th-ranked Frenchman, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5), to avoid becoming the latest high-profile departure. Shelton will next play compatriot Tommy Paul after the 12th seed beat Frenchman Quentin Halys, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4, in the day’s opening match on center court. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been on the court, but I’m looking forward to it,” Shelton said of taking on Paul for the first time since losing to the world number 14 in Dallas two years ago. “He’s in great form right now. A great player, a great friend.” Australian qualifier Rinky Hijikata continued his run as he backed up his second-round victory over 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic with a 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 win against Tomas Martin Etcheverry. Zverev’s vanquisher Lorenzo Musetti, however, failed to use his round-of-32 upset as a springboard to a first 1000-level title, losing a long three-set battle to Frenchman Luca Van Assche. Former world number two Casper Ruud of Norway closed the day’s action with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff. Shelton and Paul will open play on Friday, before Alcaraz retakes the court in the night session to battle Fritz, followed by Ruud’s clash with Portuguese lucky loser Nuno Borges. AFP
