The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast is a weekly, journey-style podcast about Ohio pharmacist Kim Newlove's career change from pharmacist to voice actor. She alternates solo shows and interview shows.

Is it Q-var or Q-vair? Find out today.
This is the 57th episode in my drug pronunciations series. In the episode, I divide QVAR and beclomethasone into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com.
Note: we don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations.
QVAR = KUE-var
- Q, like the letter in the alphabet (Q)
- Var, which rhymes with “far”
- Emphasize KUE (Q)
- Sources: Patient Information in the prescribing information for QVAR on the FDA’s website https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2017/207921s000lbl.pdf for the written pronunciation. drugs.com for the spoken pronunciation.
Note: the pronunciation of Redihaler is red-ee-HAYE' ler. (It’s a combo of “ready” and “inhaler.”)
beclomethasone = be-kloe-METH-a-sone
- Beh, like Becky
- Kloe, like a 4-leaf clover
- Meth, like methane
- A, which is a short “A” sound or a schwa “A” sound. It sounds like “Uh”
- Sone, similar to “zone”
- Emphasize METH
- Sources: MedlinePlus.gov (written) and Dr. Tony Guerra’s YouTube channel (spoken)

This is the 56th episode in my drug pronunciations series. In the episode, I divide pantoprazole and Protonix into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. We don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations.
Written pronunciations are helpful! They are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.
pantoprazole = pan-TOE-pra-zole
- Pan, like pancake
- TOE, like the toes on your feet
- Pra, like the name Oprah
- Zole, which rhymes with mole
- Emphasize TOE.
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online and MedlinePlus.gov (accessed 6-3-25)
Protonix = Pro-TAH-nix
- The first two syllables are basically the word “Proton,” as in a proton pump inhibitor.
- The third syllable claims the “N” in Protonix, so the last syllable is “nix” like the basketball team (The New York Knicks).
- Emphasize the middle syllable, TAH.
- Source: Medication guide for Protonix on the FDA’s website (accessed 6-3-25)

Thank you for listening to episode 333 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. If you know someone who would like this episode, please share it with them!
We’re talking about social stories today. We’ll cover what a social story is and how you can use one to help a patient feel more comfortable about getting a shot.
To read the FULL show notes, visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast, and choose episode 332.
My name is Kim Newlove. I’m an Ohio pharmacist and a full-time caregiver for my adult son with autism. I used a social story to prepare my son for a shot at our local pharmacy in February. It worked great, and he seemed less stressed at the pharmacy. Social stories could help your patients (and children), too.
Social stories are short, simple stories that prepare someone for a situation. In the case of getting a shot, you (the pharmacist/student/tech) are trying to make getting a shot predictable for your patient by explaining what they’ll experience in layman's terms. Empathy is important. Focus on them and their experience.
In this episode, I use a custom example and explain how useful visual aides are. You can tell a verbal story or read a written one to your patient. You could record a video and share it on social media. Parents and caregivers can create social stories or consume your pharmacy’s stories, too.
There’s more than one way to get a social story right. You can add custom features, like affirmations, comfort items, rewards, and more. You can share a social story minutes before a shot or a week before. Use what works for the individual you are serving.
Thank you for listening to episode 332 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast. Please share this episode with anyone who needs to learn about Social Stories. Follow this podcast for all future episodes.

Thank you for listening to episode 331 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. If you know someone who would like this episode, please share it with them!
Welcome to the 55th episode in my drug pronunciations series. In the episode, I divide oxcarbazepine and Trileptal into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. We don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations. Today’s drug name was chosen from Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses, Seventh Edition.
Written pronunciations are helpful! They are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.
oxcarbazepine = OX-kar-BAZ-e-peen
- The first two syllables sound like “box-car.” (Drop the “B.”)
- Baz, like basketball
- e, which is a short “e” sound, like the “E” in the middle of the word Elephant
- Peen, like a ball peen hammer
- Emphasize OX and BAZ. BAZ gets the most emphasis.
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online and MedlinePlus.gov
Trileptal = tri-LEP-tal
- Try, like you’re trying to say this drug name
- Lep, as in epiLEPsy
- Tal, like the last syllable in the word, “accidental”
- Emphasize the middle syllable, LEP.
- Source: The medication guide for Trileptal on the FDA’s website

If you’re interested in podcasting, pod-guesting or public speaking, you need to listen to this episode.

Bio - Danielle Plummer, PharmD (May 2025)
Danielle Plummer, PharmD, is a third-generation pharmacist and host of the MaternalRx podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network. She earned her PharmD from Creighton University in 2016 and has since had a broad pharmacy career spanning retail, hospital, consulting, and medical affairs.
Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, Danielle specializes in supporting pregnant patients, particularly those suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). After studying treatments for other diseases of malnutrition in pharmacy school, she became certified in pharmacogenetics and as an antepartum doula. This, along with a community of pharmacy entrepreneurs, inspired her to launch HG Pharmacist©, a blog to share information about HG, which later grew into Obstet-Rx©, a consulting company offering personalized medication management and patient advocacy to women worldwide.
Her subject matter expertise has led to board member appointments, speaking engagements, and media contributions for international magazines. In her work as an MSL, she has supported diagnostics for preeclampsia (sFlt-1/PlGF) and procalcitonin, as well as therapies for iron deficiency anemia and small cell lung cancer.
Through her podcast, Danielle shows how pharmacists play a key role in improving maternal outcomes. (End bio)

Danielle and I met at Medipreneurs several years ago and have kept in touch. I enjoyed getting to know her better during this interview. She has transformed her career since we first met, and I’m proud of her for starting a podcast.
The Pharmacy Podcast Network is an important part of Danielle’s story. They produce and distribute the MaternalRx Podcast on their network. If you’d like to start a podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, please reach out to Todd Eury via email: publisher@pharmacypodcast.com.

Thanks Donna for selecting today’s drug name! She left a voicemail asking for pronunciation help via the contact page on my website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.
In this episode, I divide Myrbetriq and mirabegron into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful! They are below and in the show notes on www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast (select episode 326).
Myrbetriq = meer-BEH-trick
- Meer, like a mirror
- BEH, like Belize (a country in Central America)
- Trick, like “Trick or Treat”
- Emphasize the middle syllable - BEH
- Sources: (1) Prescribing Information for Myrbetriq (patient information section) on the FDA’s website, (2) ispot.tv, and (3) Myrbetriq’s website https://www.myrbetriq.com/
Mirabegron = MIR-a-BEG-ron
- MIR, like a mirror
- A, which is a short “A” sound (uh)
- BEG, like a dog begs for a treat
- Ron, like Ron Weasley (Harry Potter’s friend)
- Emphasize MIR and BEG. BEG gets the most emphasis.

As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we’re on the letter “L.” Disclaimer: we don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just drug names.
In this episode, I’ll divide liraglutide, Victoza, and Saxenda into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful, so you’ll find all three below and in the show notes for episode 324 on thepharmacistsvoice.com. Once you’ve listened to this episode, practice saying liraglutide, Victoza, and Saxenda. Repetition is the key to mastery.
Thank you for listening to episode 324 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. The FULL show notes (including all links) are on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. Select episode 324.
Liraglutide = LIR a GLOO tide
- LIR, like a Learjet
- Uh, which is a short “A” sound or a schwa “A” sound.
- GLOO, like the sticky substance we use to stick two things together
-
And tide, like the ocean tide
-
Sources: Novo Nordisk Customer Service, MedlinePlus, and drugs.com
Victoza = VIC-tow-za
- VIC, like Victor
- Tow, like a tow truck
-
And za, like pizza
-
Emphasize VIC
- Sources: Novo Nordisk Customer Service, drugs.com, and the FDA’s website
Saxenda = sax en duh
- Sax, like a saxophone
- En, like the letter “N” in the alphabet
-
Duh, which is an interjection we use in the US to mean, “Isn’t it obvious?!” For example, if someone told you, “Water is wet,” you might say, “Duh! Water IS wet.” 🙄
-
I emphasize the middle syllable “en,” but no syllable is emphasized in the literature.

Bio - Rachel Gainsbrugh, PharmD (March 2025)
Rachel was born in Haiti with a drive to make a difference and not take her parents' sacrifices for
granted. She was raised in Miami, worked hard, became a doctor and was left with over $500K in student loans. So, she grinded hard to pay off her loans.

Now, she’s a healthcare professional by day and a rental investor by night. She’s the owner and manager of 18 luxury short-term rentals with a lucrative cash-flowing
rental portfolio, mom, wife and real estate coach that was recently featured on a Netflix TV show showcasing one of her luxury rentals. Rachel is passionate about helping professionals create
a life they don’t need a vacation from through AirBNB investing.

Thank you for listening to episode 323 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. If you know someone who would like this episode, please share it with them!
We continue working our way through the alphabet in my drug pronunciation series. We’re on the letter “K,” and today’s drug is ketamine.
In this episode, I divide ketamine into syllables, tell you which syllable to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful, so look below for the written pronunciation. Once you’ve listened to this episode, practice saying ketamine. Repetition is the key to mastery.
Ketamine = KEH-tuh-meen
- Keh, like keg
- Tuh, like tug
-
And meen, as in, “Bullies are mean!”
-
Emphasize KEH.
- Sources: My clinical experience as a pharmacist, Google, and m-w.com. I like how Google and M-W divide the syllables and pronounce the drug name.

Why do few generic drug names start with “K?"
Did you know that the United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council advises against using the letter "K" in generic drug names? Some languages struggle with pronouncing “K.” In fact, four letters are generally avoided in naming drugs: H, J, K, and W. While the USAN guideline applies to generic drug names, brand-name drugs also tend to avoid these letters.
A Fun Thought Experiment
If you’ve ever been told not to do something and immediately wanted to do it, you’re not alone! Just for fun, I combined all four of the "forbidden letters" into a made-up drug name: Jawkherol Sounds like a treatment for TMJ, doesn’t it?
Common Mispronunciations to Avoid
Some sources—including YouTube videos with thousands of views—incorrectly pronounce ketamine. Here are three examples of how NOT to say it:
- KET-a-MIN
- ket-a-MEEN
- KEET-a-meen
Mispronunciations can lead to confusion, especially for non-native English speakers or healthcare professionals giving presentations. That’s why I create these episodes—to combat misinformation and make learning drug names easier. Thanks for listening!

As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we’re on the letter “J.” I wanted to pick a popular generic drug name that starts with “J” for today’s episode. It turns out that the letter “J” should be avoided in naming generic drugs, according to the United States Adopted Names Council. Therefore, there are very few generic drug names that start with the letter “J.” Instead, I chose a brand-name drug that starts with “J.”

This is the 50th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide warfarin and Jantoven into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below. Practice saying both until you master them. Repetition is the key to mastery.
Warfarin = WAR-far-in
- Emphasize WAR, and slur “far” and “in” together. It should sound like, “fur-in.”
- Sources: The USP Dictionary Online, MedlinePlus, and my 20+ years of experience
Jantoven = JAN-to-ven
- Emphasize JAN. Then, say "tow" (like a tow truck) and "ven" (like eleven)

As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we’re on the letter “I.” If you struggle with drug names, you’re not alone. When I was in college, I said ipratropium wrong, so ipratropium is the drug name today.
Recommend a drug name for the series via email: kim@thepharmacistsvoice.com
In this episode, I divide ipratropium into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciation is below. Practice saying ipratropium until you master it.
Ipratropium = IP ra TROE pee um
- Emphasize IP and TROE. TROE gets the most emphasis.

What if your business card could talk? Instead of handing someone a piece of paper, you could get your voice in their ears, tell them a story, and give them a reason to connect with you. That’s exactly what a podcast can do!
In this episode, I share my speaker pitch and learning objectives for the 2025 APhA (American Pharmacists Association) and OPA (Ohio Pharmacists Association) Annual Meetings. (Spoiler alert! I was not chosen as a speaker for either meeting.) The learning objectives double as a 6-step exercise for building a podcast that can be used as a business card. A fictitious podcast example is used in this episode. If you’d like to use a podcast as a business card, try the 6-step exercise below.
Thank you for listening to episode 317 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. To read the FULL show notes (including all links), visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. Select episode 317.

Learning objectives
- Define your niche.
- Compare your business or organization to a competitor. Indicate what sets you apart from them.
- Apply your competitive advantage to podcasting. Brainstorm how podcasting can help your business or organization stand out.
- Analyze your audience’s pain points and feedback, and develop 5 podcast episodes that offer solutions, using your area of expertise.
- Develop a timeline for your list of 5 episodes, and program the dates for recording and publishing them into your calendar.
- Create your vision for podcasting success, so you can recognize when you have achieved your goal for podcasting.
Your voice matters, and it gives you a competitive edge. It sets you apart. Some pharmacists use podcasts as business cards, but you are not required to use your podcast as a business card. The choice is yours.
Imagine if your business card could talk. Maybe podcasting is right for you! If you’d like help starting your podcast, send me a message through LinkedIn or my website: https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.

In this episode, I divide hyoscyamine into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. Find the written pronunciation below👇🏻 and in the show notes. After you listen today, practice saying hyoscyamine until you master it. Repetition’s the key to mastery.

History
The Pharmacist’s Voice podcast has transformed from a journey style podcast about my career transition from pharmacist to voice actor and podcast host to a resource for anyone interested in pharmacy topics and careers, including becoming a pharmacist podcaster, pharmacist author, or pharmacist author-narrator combo.
This podcast has been a powerful tool for branding, marketing, networking, and relationship building for my business and my life. I am a go-to pharmacist in audio production, and I have built a podcast audience over the past 5 years. As of 2024, I’m growing a newsletter list as well. Sign up, and I’ll send you a monthly newsletter with episode recaps, freebies, offers to work with me, news, and more.
5 Stats mentioned in this episode (sources: libsyn.com and YouTube, Jan 28, 2025)
- Download numbers from the podcast players
- Downloads/views from my YouTube channel
- Solo show and interview show numbers from Year 5 and the total from 5 years
- The number of countries listening in the last 90 days
- The top 10 countries that have listened in the last 90 days
What’s next?
Weekly episodes until the first week of May 2025. Then, a once/month schedule may start. Until the possible switch to a monthly show in May, I have more pronunciation episodes planned. The Pharmacist Podcasters Series will continue. I have a Poison Prevention episode planned for March and an Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month episode planned for April. Matt Grissinger RPh from ISMP may return for an interview about a med safety topic of his choosing either in May or October. Assuming a weekly schedule, the Pharmacist Authors Series will be back in June, July, and August. My seasonal updates will continue for winter, spring, summer, and fall, assuming a weekly schedule. I’d also love to interview another Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Pharmacist.

Welcome to the 46th episode of my drug pronunciation series! As we continue through the alphabet from A-Z, we’re on the letter “F” for fluticasone, Flovent, and Flonase. Also check out episode 285, which features fentanyl.
In this episode, I divide fluticasone, Flovent, and Flonase into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources.
The written pronunciations are helpful. They are below 👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 311 on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/. Pro Tip! Practice saying both drug names while you look at the written pronunciations. Looking at the written pronunciation with the syllables divided correctly helps. Practice leads to mastery.

Welcome to the 45th episode of my drug pronunciation series! As we continue through the alphabet from A-Z, we’re on the letter “E” for empagliflozin. Also check out episode 228 for ezetimibe and episode 134 for eszopiclone.
In this episode, I break down empagliflozin and Jardiance into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources.
The written pronunciations are helpful. They are below 👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 309 on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/. Pro Tip! Practice saying both drug names while you look at the written pronunciations. Looking at the written pronunciation with the syllables divided correctly helps. Practice leads to mastery.

Welcome to the 44th episode of my drug pronunciation series. As we go through the alphabet from A-Z, we’re on the letter “D” for dapagliflozin.
In this episode, I break down dapagliflozin (generic name) and Farxiga (brand name) into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are helpful. Find them below👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 307 on thepharmacistsvoice.com.
Host Background: Kim Newlove has been an Ohio pharmacist since 2001 (BS Pharm, Chem Minor). Her experience includes hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health. She is also an author, voice actor, podcast host, and audio production and podcasting consultant.
Dapagliflozin = DAP a gli FLOE zin
- Emphasize DAP and FLOE. FLOE gets the most emphasis.
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online and MedlinePlus
Farxiga = far-see-guh
- No syllable is emphasized per AstraZeneca Medical Information, but I tend emphasize “see.”
- Sources: AstraZeneca Medical Information Dept. and https://www.farxiga.com
- See also the Medication Guide for Farxiga. The written pronunciation is included.
Practice saying both 2 drug names while you look at the written pronunciations. Looking at the written pronunciation with the syllables divided correctly helps. Practice leads to mastery.

Welcome to the 43rd episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I break down cetirizine and Zyrtec into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are helpful. Find them below👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 304 on thepharmacistsvoice.com. Practice leads to mastery. Practice saying these 2 drug names.
Host Background: Kim Newlove has been an Ohio pharmacist since 2001 (BS Pharm, Chem Minor). Her experience includes hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health. She is also an author, voice actor, and podcast host (2 shows).
Cetirizine = se TIR i zeen
- Emphasize TIR
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online
Zyrtec = ZUR-tek
- No syllable is emphasized in the literature, but I stress the first syllable, ZUR
- Source: Zyrtec’s YouTube channel (Direct-to-Consumer videos from the drug sponsor)
- Note: I was trained in pharmacy school to say “ZEER-tek,” not ZUR-tek. I only say ZUR-tek now because the drug sponsor intended it to be said that way. When I heard the drug sponsor’s pronunciation in ads, I was surprised to learn I had been mispronouncing it for 20+ years.

The 2024 Pharmacist Authors Series concludes today with Part 3 of 3. The goal of the series is to inspire you to write a book.
Who is the third author in this series? It’s me (Kim Newlove, RPh/Podcast Host)! Today we’re talking about my eBook and audiobook. The title is Pharmacist Podcaster: A Podcast-Planning Guide for Pharmacy Professionals. It’s a 59-page ebook with 12 worksheets. The audiobook is 92 minutes long at 1X speed, and the introduction is included in this episode. I’ll tell you what it’s about, where you can find it, advice for pharmacist authors, and more.
I also have three guests in this episode. The first two are my publishers: Dr. Janan Sarwar and Dr. Theary Chhim from Publishing in Doses. We share a 30-minute conversation. Then, my third guest is audio engineer Julie Walthers from Whole Story Studio. Our conversation is about 30 minutes as well. Julie helped me with the audiobook.

This is my Summer 2024 update. In this audio newsletter, I update you on my business, my podcast, my family, and what I’ve been listening to, reading, watching, and playing.
Business update
My eBook is done, and I narrated the audiobook version. I’m adding both to my online store this month. I will offer five other lead magnets this Fall. Plus, I’m starting an email newsletter.
The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast (my business podcast)
Several of my Series will continue throughout the Fall. Episode 300 should drop in October. Subscribe for all future episodes.
The Perrysburg Podcast (my local podcast)
Episode 56 comes out August 16, 2024. It’s about coffee.
Family update
Kraig started his last year of high school. Derrick heads back to college this month. Nathan is looking forward to several fantasy football drafts. I’ve been knocking out projects, traveling, and spending time with family this summer. I also slept in a few times, went swimming, and ate ice cream.
What have I been listening to, reading, watching, and playing?
This is my favorite part. I talked about Sia, audiobooks, podcasts I, and what Kraig and I are reading. Although I watched some of the Olympics, I only talked about TV Series we have watched this summer. We didn’t play many board games this summer.

Welcome to part 2 of 3 in the 2024 Pharmacist Authors Series! The goal of the series is to inspire you to write your first book.
Dr. Helen Sairany is my guest. She is an expert on trauma. As we discuss her book, The We you Don’t See: Understanding the Long Shadows of Trauma, she shares the following:
- Her background as a trauma survivor
- Why she wrote The We you Don’t See: Understanding the Long Shadows of Trauma
- What the book is about
- Her target audience
- When to read the book
- What she wants you to do with the information [after you read the last page]
- Where you can buy the book
- Advice for pharmacist authors
During our interview, Helen also reads two excerpts from the book.
Bio - written by Helen Sairany, PharmD (July 2024)
As a 7-year-old Kurdish child in Iraq, a country torn by war and conflict, I was spotted by a U.S. Marine deployed to my country with a grenade in my hand, who saved my life by exchanging the grenade for a bag of candy. He later escorted my family and I out of war to seek refuge in the U.S.
Because of my turbulent childhood, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD in 2013. Thus, I aspire to live in a world where the vast majority are trauma-informed, feel psychologically safe and valued for the work they put out, and return home fulfilled.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic began, I have been open about my dormant childhood trauma. I have been traveling worldwide to give talks on topics such as trauma-informed care, leadership, and the workforce.
After having traveled to more than 100 countries worldwide, I developed an appreciation for the diverse mix of cultures, people, and traditions.
My interest in trauma stems from personal experiences of living through wars, navigating complex relationships, and continually learning what it means to be human.

Many pharmacists are experts in a specific area. If you are a pharmacist, and you like the idea of sharing your expertise using a podcast, you need to listen to this episode. My podcasting coach, Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting, returns to the podcast today to inspire you to start a podcast. (He was also featured in episode 79 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast.)
During our interview, Dave shares some success stories, benefits of podcasting, podcasting tips and tricks, advice about MP3 production, mindset advice, monetization advice, advertising advice, and more.
Disclosure: I am an affiliate of Dave Jackson’s School of Podcasting. My affiliate link is in the show notes. Kindly use it if you sign up for The School of Podcasting. I became an affiliate because I learned how to start a podcast from Dave Jackson, and I’m good at what I do both because of Dave Jackson’s School of Podcasting and 5 years of experience.
If you are looking for a podcasting coach, I would highly recommend Dave Jackson. However, if you would like a pharmacist to help you plan your podcast, I can help you too. I have a self-paced online podcast-planning course for pharmacy professionals under the “store” tab on thepharmacistsvoice.com. If planning a podcast has been on your to-do list, either Dave or I can help you get started.

Steve Leuck, PharmD Bio (June 2024)
After graduating University of the Pacific school of pharmacy in 1987, Steve began his practice in a local community hospital pharmacy where he stayed for the 8 years. For the following 18 months, Steve completed a 28-day drug and alcohol treatment program, worked through licensing stipulations with the board of pharmacy, and attended a yearlong course of study to become a certified addiction counselor.
Steve successfully transitioned back to pharmacy where he worked the next 25 years in a clinic pharmacy for a local community hospital. During this time, Steve developed and implemented a bedside education and meds-to-bed program in order to help educate patients as well as assure they acquired their new medications upon discharge from the hospital.
Throughout this time, Steve founded and developed AudibleRx; an internet-based patient medication education platform designed specifically for those challenged with literacy or visual impairment. In 2023, AudibleRx was donated to a medical information based non-profit organization.
After nearly 33 years of practice with the same institution, Steve retired and took a half-time position for another hospital which allows him time to travel with his wife, ride his bike through the Santa Cruz mountains, and write.

I have a 21-year-old son named Kraig who was diagnosed with autism in the year 2005, at the age of 2.5. His diagnosis changed my life and my career path, so we’re talking about autism today. After I share some background information, I “dispense” 10 lessons I learned from raising a child with autism.
- Create a vision for your child’s future.
- Keep an open mind.
- Think ability first.
- Embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Don’t underestimate the ordinary.
- Discover your “gifts of autism.”
- Take care of yourself.
- Embrace disruption.
- Be a leader.

This is not my typical kind of episode, but this is also not the first episode I’ve published about autism. If you’d like to listen to the other two, they are episodes 213 (2023) and 147 (2022).
I created this episode for pharmacy professionals in America raising a child with autism because I’m an American pharmacist raising a child with autism. You can read about stats and definitions online, but to find out how autism impacts a pharmacist Mom or a family, you should be listening to people like me. If you’re raising a child with autism, you will be able to relate even if you’re not a pharmacy professional. I wish someone would have shared their stores with me in 2005 when my son was diagnosed.

This is the 26th episode in my drug name pronunciation series. Today, we’re talking about omeprazole (Prilosec ®).
If you’re new to my drug name pronunciation series, welcome! In this episode, I divide omeprazole and Prilosec into syllables, explain which syllables to emphasize, and tell you where I found the information. Seeing the written pronunciations is helpful, so the written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com.
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Omeprazole = oh-MEP-ra-zole, emphasize MEP
Prilosec = PRY-lo-sec, emphasize PRY

This is the 25th episode in drug name pronunciation series. First, we talk about three brand-generic drug pairs: Viagra and sildenafil; Cialis and tadalafil; & Levitra and vardenafil. Then, Dr. Erin L. Albert talks about drug pricing with teamcubancard.com and costplusdrugs.com. Erin is a pharmacist and Healthcare Innovator who works for the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company as Vice President of Pharmacy Relations.
If you’re new to my drug name pronunciation series, welcome! In this episode, I divide all six drug names into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share the sources of my information. Seeing the written pronunciations can be helpful. All six are below:
sildenafil = sil DEN a fil, emphasize DEN
Viagra = vi-AG-rah, emphasize AG
Tadalafil = ta DA la fil (or my preference ta DAL a fil), emphasize DA or DAL
Cialis = see-AL-iss, emphasize AL
vardenafil = var-DEN-a-fil, emphasize DEN
Levitra = luh-VEE-trah, emphasize VEE

All three brand-name drugs have written pronunciations in their package inserts. See section 17: patient information. The following links are from the FDA’s website, accessed 2-1-24.
- Viagra package insert
- Cialis package insert
- Levitra package insert
The written pronunciations for tadalafil and vardenafil are in the USP Dictionary Online. Sildenafil was not in the USP Dictionary. For the pronunciation of sildenafil, I relied on my experience as a pharmacist and the similarities between sildenafil and vardenafil. Thank you USP Legal Dept for permission to share your written pronunciations in my show notes and YouTube videos!

This is the 24th episode in my drug name pronunciation series. Today, we’re talking about ketorolac (Toradol®). I have heard ketorolac pronounced three different ways. How do you say it?
If you’re new to my drug name pronunciation series, welcome! In this episode, I divide ketorolac and Toradol into syllables, explain which syllables you need to emphasize, and reveal the sources of my information. Seeing the written pronunciations is helpful, so the written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com.
Ke-TOR-a-LAC
- Emphasize TOR and LAC
- TOR gets the most emphasis
TOR-a-DOL
- Emphasize TOR and DOL
- TOR gets the most emphasis
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.

It’s good to reflect on stats at the end of the year. In this episode, I count down the four most downloaded episodes of 2023 (both podcast player stats and YouTube views/downloads).
Why pick the top 4? My favorite number is four, and I have been podcasting for 4 years.

This is an encore presentation of a speech I gave to a class of P3 students in the “Exploring Novel Careers in Pharmacy” elective at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy during Fall Semester 2023.
This episode is also available via video on my YouTube channel. YouTube.com/@thepharmacistsvoice or type @thepharmacistsvoice in a YouTube app.
The instructor’s name is Dr. Michelle Schroeder, and the class was conducted via WebEx. I had up to 35 minutes to speak about my Novel Career in Pharmacy and 15 minutes for questions, 50 minutes total. Delivering a powerpoint presentation was recommended (but I used Canva), and I was given a list of topics to discuss from my past, present, and future + advice. I did not speak for the full 35 minutes, and the students were happy to fill the remainder of the class time with questions. They all had good questions, and I share the two that stuck out most to me at the end of this episode.

Here is the introduction that Dr. Schroder read as she introduced me:
Kim Newlove is an Ohio pharmacist. She graduated from The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy with her BS Pharm in 2001. Her clinical experience includes hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health.
Kim is no longer in clinical practice. Instead, she is self-employed in two non-traditional roles.
First, Kim is a full-time, Independent Caregiver through the Ohio Dept of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). With that role, Kim provides care directly to an adult with a developmental disability in Wood County, Ohio. She has an NPI number and an Ohio Medicaid billing number.
Second, Kim is a voice actor and podcast host. She founded The Pharmacist's Voice ®, LLC in 2017, and launched The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast in 2019. Her website is https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. She is also the host of The Perrysburg Podcast, which you can find at www.perrysburgpodcast.com
Kim is a go-to pharmacist in audio production. She believes in the transformative power of well-communicated messages, and her mission is to connect with her audience so that they trust her message. Her delivery style is confident and trustworthy.
In her spare time, Kim enjoys spending time with family, playing Ticket to Ride Switzerland 🇨🇭, swimming, and riding her BMW C400X motorbike. 🇩🇪
The most memorable questions I was asked:
- “What’s your why? Why become a voice actor and a podcast host.”
- “Who is your white whale? Meaning…Who is the #1 person you want to interview, but you think they’re out of reach for whatever reason?”

This is a great episode for pharmacist podcasters and pharmacist authors who want to narrate their own audiobooks. Producing audio files is difficult for novice podcasters and first-time audiobook narrators. Audivita Studios is a full-service podcast production company that also helps authors who want to narrate their own audiobooks from home.
Audivita Studios Founder and CEO David Wolf is my guest today. We discuss audiobooks, podcasting, podcast planning, microphones, and more.

RDML Pam Schweitzer, PharmD returns to the podcast today to talk about Veterans Day and the PBS Documentary Invisible Corps. Dr. Schweitzer was also featured in episodes 185 and 229 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast.
November 11 is Veterans Day. Veterans Day is a US holiday celebrated annually to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. On Veterans Day, we thank veterans for their service. Thank you veterans! Why talk about the documentary in this episode? Because it features veterans of the United States Public Health Commissioned Corps. It fits into my Veterans Day theme.

Bio (November 2023)
Rear Admiral (RDML) Pamela Schweitzer retired in September 2018 from a four-year term as the Assistant Surgeon General and 10th Chief Pharmacist Officer of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps. As Chief Pharmacist Officer (first female in this role), Schweitzer was responsible for providing leadership and coordination of more than 1,300 PHS pharmacy officers in thirteen agencies with the Office of the Surgeon General and the Department of Health & Human Services.
Schweitzer continues to support the pharmacy profession and national efforts to increase access to public health initiatives, especially in rural and underserved communities.
Rear Admiral Schweitzer earned her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Pharmacy, completed an Ambulatory Care/Administrative Residency at University of California Irvine Medical Center.
Schweitzer has been recognized for her leadership contributions, including the Surgeon General Exemplary Service Medal (2018), ASHP 2019 Distinguished Leadership Award (2019), APhA “Next 10 Women in Pharmacy,” honoree (2022), Cal State University Fullerton Vision & Visionaries Award, Distinguished Alumni (2023).
Invisible Corps documentary description from https://www.pbs.org: “This one-hour PBS documentary covers the history and role of the Public Health Service, the PHS Commissioned Corps, and how public health has evolved throughout our history. It explores how public health has become politicized and how important it is to change that in order to positively affect the nations’ health for years to come."
In this episode, I divide metformin and Glucophage into syllables, explain which syllables have the emphasis, and cite the sources of my information. The written pronunciations are in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Metformin = met FOR min. Emphasize FOR.
I found the written pronunciation of metformin in the USP Dictionary Online.
Glucophage = gloo-kō-fahzh. Emphasize “gloo” and “fahzh”
I found the pronunciation of Glucophage in two places:
- Printed: Package Insert (FDA’s website)
- Spoken: BMS Medical Information Dept. 1-800-321-1335
If you know someone who needs to learn how to say #metformin or #Glucophage, please share this episode with them.

The answers to the Drug Disposal Quiz from episode 242 of The Pharmacists Voice Podcast are the focus of today’s episode.
My audience is typically pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy professors, pharmacy owners, and medical narrators. The drug disposal quiz questions are for pharmacy professionals who field questions about drug disposal from well-meaning patients, friends, family, pet-owners, and community members. These questions (and answers) are meant to prepare you for drug disposal questions so that you can field them at any time of the year.
I asked 10 questions and crowdsources answers. In this episode, you will hear input from a number of sources. First is a panel discussion featuring Brittany Sandidge, Ruth Emptage, PharmD, and Kelsey Schmuhl, PharmD from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy’s Generation RX Program, a medication safety-focused educational outreach program. Then, I’ll share responses from two DEA Representatives. One is a National Take Back Initiative Coordinator. The other is a Community Outreach & Prevention Support Program Manager. Last, but not least, I’ll share input from my poison prevention educator friends Dr. Wendy Stephan and Angel Bivens, RPh and the Poison Help Line (specifically, The Central Ohio Poison Center).

Welcome to the first episode in my Pharmacist Podcasters Series! I will publish an interview with a pharmacist podcaster once/month from now on. Each interview is an opportunity for me to introduce you to another podcast hosted by a pharmacist to inspire you to start a podcast too. Throughout the series, we’ll explore why each pharmacist podcaster started their podcast; who their audience is; what’s in it for them (the podcaster); what’s in it for their audience; what they want their audience to do with the information; where you can find their podcast; and any advice for new podcasters.
Dr. Ola Latala from the Ohio Pharmacists Association Podcast (aka OPA Podcast) is my first guest in the series. She was also featured in episode 214 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast.
Dr. Ola Latala is an Ohio pharmacist and both creator and host of The Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) Podcast. She earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy in 2022. In June of 2023, Ola completed the OPA Executive Fellowship in Leadership and Association Management and is now a hospital pharmacist at Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio.
*We recorded this interview just days before Dr. Latala’s Fellowship at OPA ended.

I want to inspire you to use your voice to help the pharmacy profession. Two things inspired this episode: (1) A line from the 2008 Batman movie, The Dark Knight and (2) walkouts at large chain retail pharmacies this month (October 2023) in the US.
Problems with the profession are all over the news, but what do large chain retail pharmacists, pharmacy techs, and pharmacy students want? Let’s be concrete about what we want and advocate for it.
People come together in times of crisis. Join your state pharmacist organization and/or join APhA (American Pharmacists Association). Let’s band together now. Use your voice. Do something today.
The audience for this podcast is typically pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy professors, pharmacy owners, and medical narrators. Today, I’m targeting anyone from the list who works in large chain retail pharmacy.

Bio - Dr. Jade L. Ranger, PharmD, ABAAHP, FAAMM, Co-Owner/Pharmacist, The Prescription Shoppe
Bowie, Maryland native, Dr. Jade L. Ranger is an accomplished scholar, entrepreneur and community leader. She graduated from Hampton University with a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree (PharmD.) in 2012. After spending almost, a decade of her career working for big chain pharmacies, she, alongside her husband, Dr. Henry Ranger, opened The Prescription Shoppe, a full-service mom and pop pharmacy in March 2019. Then, on September 1, 2023, they opened their second pharmacy, which is a long term care pharmacy and compounding lab. Together, they have impacted the Greater Williamsburg area by not only providing patient-centered care, but also supporting and engaging their community in authentic, tangible ways.
Dr. Ranger is a member of multiple professional and service organizations including the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), National Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA), the Virginia Pharmacists Association (VPhA), Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Jack and Jill of America, Inc. and the York, James City-Williamsburg branch of the NAACP. In addition, she sits on the local board of directors for Literacy for Life, and just recently began her appointment (April 2022) at the national level as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) of Pharmacy Today, the American Pharmacists Association’s monthly magazine covering all aspects of the profession of pharmacy.
In September 2021, Dr. Ranger added author to her resume with the release of her published book, Mustard Seed Mentality: UnscRxipted Pearls of Wisdom from a Wife, Mother, and Entrepreneur which is available for purchase online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers where books are sold. She is also a feature writer for the Virginia Gazette as a columnist for a monthly column entitled #ParentLife UnscRxipted.
Jade has been hailed a community leader for raising awareness regarding social justice issues and for her tireless support of local, small businesses throughout the pandemic. In 2021, she became a Top 15 under 50 recipient by the Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce Business Council and a Top 20 Women in Business recipient by Hampton Roads Inside Business. She was also distinguished as a 2022 Top Forty Under 40 awardee by Hampton Roads Inside Business and inducted into the 2022 Class of the Forty Under 40 Alumni Recognition Society by her alma mater, Hampton University. In addition to receiving numerous accolades and awards, Dr. Ranger continued her education in 2022 by obtaining a board certification in Anti-Aging Medicine through the American Board of Anti-Aging Heath Practitioners. After which, she also completed a Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Metabolic and Functional Medicine (FAAMFM).
When her schedule permits, she loves reading, yoga, and above all, spending quality time with her family. She lives in Williamsburg, Virginia with her husband and their two children, Jacob and Joshua. The family attends New Zion Baptist Church where they have been active members since 2011.
Welcome to my drug name pronunciation series! In this episode, I divide naltrexone and Vivitrol into syllables, explain which syllables have the emphasis, and reveal the sources of my information. The written pronunciations are in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names (from reliable sources) so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Naltrexone is a prescription medication used to treat both alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder. It’s available as an oral tablet and an IM injection.
Naltrexone has 3 syllables: nal TREX one. *Emphasize the 2nd syllable, TREX.
📌 Nal, which rhymes with “pal.”
📌 TREX, which rhymes with Chex (a breakfast cereal sold in the US)
📌 one, as in “I own a motorcycle.”
Vivitrol also has 3 syllables: VIV i trol. *Emphasize the 1st syllable, VIV.
🔵 Viv, as in Vivian (a female first name in the US)
🔵 i, which is the schwa ‘I’ sound (a short “I” sound), like the “I” in the word, “decimal.”
🔵 Trol, which rhymes with fall
Where did I find the pronunciations? Naltrexone is in the USP Dictionary Online, and Vivitrol was in the medication guide on vivitrol.com.
I am not compensated for mentioning the USP Dictionary Online, and I have permission to share written pronunciations from their dictionary. (Thanks USP Legal Dept!). I’m also not compensated for mentioning any of the drugs in my pronunciation episodes.

During my 22 years as an Ohio-licensed pharmacist, I’ve taken an interest in Drug Disposal. I believe that pharmacists can make a positive impact in their communities by knowing how to safely dispose of all types of drugs at various times of the year.
Ideally, there would be a magical box at every pharmacy, and everything could go in it: solid tablets, liquid allergy medicine, ear drops, Epi-Pens, creams, nasal sprays, inhalers, and so on. However, it just doesn’t work that way. As a result, we field questions about drug disposal all the time. To prepare you for those inevitable questions you may field about drug disposal, I put together a Drug Disposal Quiz.
This is a crowd-sourcing episode. Feel free to answer one or all of these questions. If you submit a response, you may hear it on the podcast! I’m accepting answers until Oct 20, 2023.
- Step One: go to https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.
- Step Two: Click the Contact tab.
- Step Three: Click, “Start recording”
- Step Four: Leave a voicemail message with the question and answer.
As an alternative, fill out the contact form. I may read your answer on the show. If no one answers, you’ll hear my responses on Saturday, October 28, 2023 (Drug Take-Back Day).
Listen to the episode for the full questions. Key words are below.
- Fluorouracil cream
- Expired Epi-Pen
- Expired OTC’s
- Discontinued lisinopril tablets
- Info table at the health fair
- Disposing of illicit substances
- Grocery sack full of unwanted meds from a patient.
- When is the last time you cleaned out your medicine cabinet?
- Where is the closest drug disposal box to you?
- On drug take-back day, where can you get rid of odd dosage forms?

Highlights from our interview
At the June 2023 Medipreneurs Summit in Kansas City, MO, Dr. Brigette Serfaty introduced me to a combination of mindfulness, meditation, and sound healing. I experienced loud chords of sound from crystal bowls, but I was also able to focus on the meditation portion of the experience. I liked it.
Dr. Serfaty works with a variety of individuals at the intersection of mindset and well being:
- Students and faculty at The University of Arkansas
- Busy professionals (including healthcare professionals, like pharmacists)
- Group trainings
- Retreats
There is evidence to support that mindfulness works. KORU is a mindfulness app Dr. Serfaty uses with her students. The Oura Ring https://ouraring.com/ has meditations inside their app as well; data is available to show measurable (heart rate) changes while meditating.
We discussed Positive Intelligence Training and the Saboteur Assessment. The results give names to the voices in your head. Once you know your saboteurs, you can be more mindful about which voices you listen to and the mindset you adopt.
Perfection and imposter syndrome were part of our conversation. Normalizing failure helps others, especially students, understand that failure is a learning tool - not a barrier to success. Failure is painful, but it’s part of learning.
Brigette has a YouTube Podcast called Minding Your Minutes. She hosts a variety of guests, including wellness practice owners and lifestyle medicine practitioners. The content is conversational, educational, and sometimes cathartic. The name of the Podcast (Minding Your Minutes) is reminder that mindfulness can take just minutes.

How do you say phentermine? In this episode, I break phentermine down into syllables and explain which syllable has the emphasis. The source of my information in the USP Dictionary Online.
I am not compensated for mentioning the USP Dictionary, and I have their permission to share written pronunciations in my podcast show notes and YouTube videos. Thank you USP Legal Dept!
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Phentermine = FEN ter meen
Phentermine has 3 syllables. Emphasize the first syllable (Phen = FEN**).
FEN, like Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Socks professional baseball team.
Ter, like the “TER” in sisTER.
Meen, as in someone is being rude or mean to you.
If you know someone who needs to learn how to say phentermine, please share this episode with them.

Welcome to the 18th episode in my drug name pronunciation series! We’re talking about ezetimibe today. In the first 4 minutes, I break ezetimibe down into syllables, explain which syllable has the emphasis, and reveal the source of the information.
The last 4 minutes is a bonus. My husband (Nathan) guest appears to say some drug names from this series. Why? To share a fun memory! When I was in pharmacy school, Nathan made me laugh/distracted me from the stress of studying by say drug names and medical terms badly. It worked! I laughed a lot, thanks to Nathan. During this episode, Nathan shows that he can still make me laugh!

Ezetimibe has four syllables.
ezetimibe = e ZET i mibe
e, which is a short “E” sound, like the “E” in “bed.” This sounds like a schwa “E.” (Like the second “E” in the word “elephant.”)
ZET, which rhymes with “pet”
I, as in “illusion” (short “I” sound, almost like a schwa “I.” Think of the “I” in the word “president.”)
mibe, which rhymes with “vibe” (“I” has the long “I” sound, like “ice cream” or “eyeball.”)
I found the pronunciation of ezetimibe in the USP Dictionary Online. The pronunciation guide is especially important for the last syllable in ezetimibe. Thank you to the USP Legal Dept for permission to publish your written pronunciations in my podcast show notes!
5 drug names from the bonus
- Ezetimibe (Episode 228)
- Metoprolol (Episode 177, 8th episode in this series)
- talimogene laherparepvec or T-VEC (Episode 159, 6th in this series)
- Eszopiclone (Episode 134, 1st episode in this series)
- Carisoprodol (Episode 198, 13th in the series)

Bio
Tony Guerra, PharmD, originally from the Baltimore-Washington corridor, has combined creative writing work with his experience to author over 30 books. He's either written and/or produced books in four major categories, pharmacology, pharmacotherapy, career/residency, and professional school admissions and interviews.
He has taught college pharmacology and chemistry for over a decade and a half and lives in Ankeny, Iowa, with his wife Mindy and triplet daughters Brielle, Rianne, and Teagan.
You can work with him at https://residency.teachable.com/courses/ or hear his podcasts at pharmacy.libsyn.com and memorizing.libsyn.com
Highlights from our interview
Tony is an English major. His expertise is in writing and helping people tell their story. He’s more of a writing expert than than a residency expert. Tony helps pharmacy students one-on-one write a Letter of Intent. The goal is to find a pharmacist residency that’s a good fit. According to Tony, it’s very hard for pharmacists to talk about themselves and to do a “humble brag."
The audience for this 8-part books series is pharmacy students, namely P2’s for 3-year programs and P3’s for 4-year programs. Students, read these books as you start those years of school!
Tony loves audiobooks, and he understands the need for them for his readers. However, depending on the length of the book, Tony sometimes hires narrators instead of narrating the books himself. Tune in to hear his advice for pharmacist authors who want to narrate their own audiobooks.

Outside of pharmacy she is an avid reader and shares book recommendations on her Bookstagram and blog. She loves to be outdoors and takes every opportunity she can to go hiking when her health permits. She works part-time at Club Pilates and considers this her “fun job”, and she truly believes that reformer pilates has helped recover some of her strength after long-COVID.

COVID Long-Hauler: My Life Since COVID is available in print and audio. Visit Global Bookshelves International (publisher), Amazon, or Barnes and Noble to purchase your printed copy today! The audiobook is available through Audible and iTunes. I listened to the audiobook, and I enjoyed it! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
During the second half of our interview, Salam talked about her experience narrating her audiobook. Because it’s a memoir, she wanted to narrate it herself. According to Salam, it was a challenge, but she’s glad she did it. Her goal was to release the print and audiobook versions at the same time, but the print version was first to market. Her 3 hour audiobook took 6 hours of recording time (not all in one day).
Salam’s advice to other pharmacist authors who want to narrate their own audiobook:
- Prepare: Practice, hydrate, and allow plenty of time to record.
- Pick your most energetic/refreshed time of the day to record. (Avoid recording after your work day.)
- Pick a studio you’re comfortable with. Make sure you can sit comfortably and place your reading materials in front of you.
- Find an engineer who is experienced with recording, editing, and producing audio files to the specifications you need. Cautionary tale: The first engineer Salam worked with recorded the entire book, but he did not finalize her files to specs; he was inexperienced. Salam needed help from a second audio engineer - Julie Walthers from Whole Story Studio. With Julie’s help, Salam’s files passed ACX specs, and publishing the audiobook went smoothly.
Can you help the author out?
- If you know of a book group or support group who might like COVID Long Hauler: My Life Since COVID, recommend it to them. They could read it and have a discussion.
- If you know of a podcast that could interview Salam about her book, please nominate her to the host or let Salam know about the podcast. LinkedIn messages work well.
- If you know someone who would like Salam’s book, please share it with them. Thank you!

This is one of my drug name pronunciation episodes. We have 2 drug names today: mifepristone and misoprostol.
How do these pronunciation episodes work?
- I break drug names down into syllables
- Explain which syllable(s) have the emphasis
- Reveal the source of the information
- Put the written pronunciations in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast so that you can use them right away.
Purpose: to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Mifepristone = MIF e PRIS tone
- MIF, which rhymes with cliff (This syllable gets the secondary emphasis.)
- e, which sounds either like a short “e” sound or the schwa “e” sound.
- PRIS, like pristine (This syllable gets the primary/most emphasis.)
- tone, like muscle tone
Misoprostol = MYE soe PROS tol
- MYE as in, “My name is Kim.” (This syllable gets the secondary emphasis.)
- Soe, like a needle a needle pulling thread (sew). If you say this syllable quickly, it sounds like the “Su,” in “Supper.”
- PROS, like prostate (This syllable gets the primary/most emphasis.)
- tol, like Toledo, OH
How did I know how to say mifepristone and misoprostol?
Both are generic drug names in the USP Dictionary Online, which is a subscription-based online reference. It is my favorite reference for generic (non-proprietary) drug names. Thank you USP Legal Dept for permission to use your written, non-proprietary drug name pronunciations in my podcast episodes and YouTube videos.

April is autism awareness and acceptance month. I have a 20-year-old son with autism named Kraig who can not read, write, or speak. In 2005, he was diagnosed with autism. (He was 2.5 years old.)

How do you say Humira® and adalimumab? Unfortunately, you can’t sound out drug names. They’re not pronounced the way they look. 👀
Humira® is one of the top 200 drugs in the US. It’s a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. Humira® is the brand name, and adalimumab is the generic (non-proprietary) name.
In my pronunciation episodes, I break drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciations in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them. I hope this episode helps you! 🥳
This episode has a YouTube video, which shows the written pronunciations of Humira® and adalimumab.

The Four D’s are delete, delay, delegate, and diminish. Some would call them a “life hack.” They help me spend my time wisely.
In this episode, I talk about my love of spiral-bound notebooks, making lists, estimating how long it takes to do things, setting priorities, being realistic, and using the 4 D’s.
Although I love the topic of time management, I struggle to get everything done. When I read Time Management from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern in 2008, I learned the 4 D’s (among other strategies), and my time management skills improved! What a difference 15 years makes! With consistent practice, I struggle less now. 🥳
⏰ I hope this episode helps you with time management!

The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them. I hope this episode helps!

“OX” like the animal (ox) *Primary emphasis on this syllable
“A” as in the schwa vowel sound “uh”
“Zole,” which rhymes with “mole”

Mike Donoghue is on the show today to talk about ConveyMED, the #1 Podcast App for Medical Education. As a former physical therapist, Mike understands the importance of ongoing clinical education for the sake of optimal patient care.

Bio (January 2023)

Soma (carisoprodol) is a muscle relaxer. The generic name is famously difficult to pronounce and has several variations. Most people just call it by the brand name Soma, whether they’re talking about the brand-name drug or the generic. In this episode, I share a 30-second [audio] clip of carisoprodol pronunciations from YouTube (for educational purposes).
How do these pronunciation episodes work? After I say a drug name, I break it down into syllables, explain which syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see it and use it right away.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Written pronunciation from the USP Dictionary Online = kar EYE soe PROE dol
*Disclaimer: I do not work for USP, and I am not compensated in any way for mentioning the USP Dictionary Online. Thank you to the USP Legal Dept for permission to use their written pronunciations in my podcasts and YouTube videos!
Carisoprodol has five syllables. In my humble opinion, all five are slurred together, especially the first two.
Kar has a hard “K” sound, like “carrot.” The “A” is super short; it’s barely there, like the children’s toy K’Nex. The “R” slurs right into the second syllable: “EYE”
Eye, like eyeglasses (This syllable has the secondary emphasis.)
Soe, like you “sew” on a button.
Proe, like a pro football player (This syllable has the primary emphasis.)
Dol, like dollar

This is one of my drug name pronunciation episodes. Today, we’re talking about tianeptine.
How do these pronunciation episodes work?
- I break drug names down into syllables.
- I explain which syllable has the emphasis.
- I reveal the source of the information.
- I put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see it and use it right away.
If you’re new to my pronunciation episodes, welcome! The purpose is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them. I hope this episode helps you!
Why did I pick tianeptine for this episode?
- To talk about the pronunciation
- To improve awareness about it
Highlights from this episode
Written pronunciation = Tye uh NEP teen
Tianeptine has 4 syllables.
Tye - like you tie your shoes
Uh - schwa “A” sound
Nep - like the planet Neptune
Teen - like a teenager
🌟The third syllable NEP gets the emphasis.🌟
There is no official pronunciation for tianeptine in the USP Dictionary Online. How I say it was guided by pronunciation patterns for other nonproprietary (generic) drug names and drug classes (ex: queTIApine, dilTIAzem, THIAzides/hydrochloroTHIAzide, and benzoDIAzepines/DIAzepam).
What is tianeptine? Tianeptine is an atypical tricyclic antidepressant that is not approved by the US FDA. Its affects are opioid-like. News outlets have called tianeptine “gas station heroin.” For more information about tianeptine, read this news release: State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy Bans the Sale and Use of Tianeptine (12-22-22).
Advice for pharmacists and pharmacy students about tianeptine.
- Use common sense. If someone takes tianeptine and needs immediate help, call 9-1-1.
- If someone comes to you with concerns about tianeptine, and you don’t know enough about it to be helpful, refer them to the Poison Help Line: 1-800-222-1222.
- If one of your patients is harmed by a tianeptine product, fill out an FDA MedWatch Form.
🌟 Special thanks to Kylie at the Poison Help Line (Ohio) on 12-31-22, for the reminder that 1-800-222-1222 can field calls about tianeptine.

Today, we’re talking about the Oath of a Pharmacist. Why? Because this is the last episode of 2022, and the end of the year is always a good time to reflect on the past.
I graduated with my BS Pharm from the University of Toledo on May 12, 2001. On that day, one of my pharmacology professors (Dr. Gerald Sherman) administered the oath of a pharmacist to my class. Although I don’t remember graduation day in great detail, I reviewed The Oath to prepare for this podcast episode.
The oath was first developed in 1983. It was revised in 1994, 2007, and 2021. The 1994 version was used when I graduated in 2001. If you’re graduating in 2023, the 2021 version will likely be part of your graduation ceremony.
See the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s (AACP) website for the 2021 version and the history of The Oath. (https://www.aacp.org/resource/oath-pharmacist)
I found the 1994 version of The Oath in The Pharmacy Student Companion: Your Road Map to Pharmacy Education and Careers, Third Edition by Daniel H. Albrant and Linda R. Harteker. (APhA 1999.)
In my opinion, The Oath has changed for the better over the years. It’s more modern and inclusive.
Changes I noticed
- The 1994 version has 7 lines. The 2021 version has 10 lines.
- The opening line is worded a little different in the 1994 and 2021 versions.
- The 2021 version mentions inclusion, diversity, and health equity.
- Protecting personal and health information was added to the 2021 version.
- Preparing the next generation of pharmacists was added to the 2021 version.
The public trusts us to fulfill the vows in The Oath. As you continue to practice pharmacy, learn about pharmacy, or teach pharmacy students, keep The Oath in mind. If you are unable able to fulfill your vows, do something about it. If you see something, say something, and do something! No one can make you care more about metrics than you care about your patients. You get to decide what you care about. It’s time to use your voice! Fight for your right to carry out the oath of a pharmacist!

Dr. Nandita Koodie’s Bio (12-18-22)
Nandita graduated from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 2014. She has 13 years of experience working for three large chain pharmacies, one year in pharmaceutical research, and five years in managed and long-term care. Most recently Nandita led an independent pharmacy group in the Bay Area of California with integrated community initiatives which compelled her to pursue her current role where she now serves as a Remote Patient Care Services Consultant for independent pharmacists.

She founded Perfect Balance Healthcare in 2017, an organization that promotes pharmacists as patient liaisons.

Imagine this. You’re a pharmacist, and you wrote a book. It’s published [hurray!], and you now want to reach a broader audience by publishing the audiobook version. You don’t want someone else to narrate it! YOU want to narrate it! But, you don’t know how to do it. You Google, “How do I narrate my audiobook?” Half a dozen ads pop up (for online courses that want to teach you how to do it or sell you the equipment they think you need), and the other search results make it sound easy! The next thing you know, you’re watching YouTube videos and shopping for microphones on amazon.com. About an hour into your research, you realize that there’s a lot more to it than you originally thought. In fact, the amount of information is overwhelming. You don’t know what to believe or who to trust, and you wonder how anyone narrates their own audiobook.
My name is Kim Newlove. I’m a pharmacist, voice actor, and podcast host. Among other things, I narrate audiobooks for women pharmacist authors. In this episode, I share 5 resources that will get you pointed in the right direction on your audiobook journey so that you feel less overwhelmed by online search results. All 5 resources are in the show notes.

I’m breaking my usual format today to give 10 poisoning prevention tips for Halloween 2022.
Disclaimers
- In this episode, I mention things that may not be suitable for children to hear. Listener discretion is advised.
- I do not work for the Poison Help Line or a Poison Center, but many of the messages in this episode come from various poison center instagram pages that I follow. It’s all great info!
10 poisoning prevention tips for Halloween 2022
- Carefully check all candy.
- Only eat treats in their original, unopened wrappers.
- Only eat homemade treats made by someone you know and trust.
- Protect your pets. Keep treats out of sight and out of reach of animals.
- Avoid non-prescription colored contact lenses (also called “costume contact lenses,” “decorative contact lenses” or “cosmetic contact lenses”). The US Food and Drug Administration considers contact lenses to be medical devices, and contact lenses are banned from being sold by non-licensed vendors. Unregulated cosmetic contacts are risky and may lead to serious eye problems or even vision loss.
- Alcohol and medicine can be a scary combination. (Alcohol and medications were not meant to be taken together.) This applies to adults and curious teens who sneak drinks.
- Cannabis and CBD edibles may look like candy to children (for example, gummies). Keep edibles out of sight and out of reach of curious children and pets.
- If someone ingests glow stick liquid, you can call the poison help line for support.
- If you have a party, curious visitors might go through your medicine cabinet. Keep medicines locked up or move them away from areas that your guests may use (like the kitchen or bathrooms). If you have expired, unwanted, or unused medications laying around, get them out of the house before the party. Drug take-back days and drug take-back programs at police stations, pharmacies, and other healthcare facilities are great opportunities for safe disposal.
- The poison help line is 1-800-222-1222. Trained professionals will take your call and help you right away. Don’t waste time. Skip the google search. Call for help.

Today, we’re talking about Keppra® (levetiracetam). In my pronunciation episodes, I say a brand drug name and its generic, break both drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source(s) of my information, and put the written pronunciations of both in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them.

As pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and professors, we’re all just trying to pronounce drug names correctly so we sound confident and communicate effectively. If you crowd-source pronunciations, vet your sources. When you get two or more pronunciations that don’t match, you will end up guessing. Pharmacists like to research what we don’t know, and we like evidence-based answers. Remember to use reliable sources, and get it right!
I’m a thought leader on the topic of drug name pronunciations, and I care about saying drug names correctly.

What is a professional headshot?
In my own words, it’s a high-resolution head/shoulders picture of YOU.
Why should you get one?
✅First impressions earn trust.
✅Show who you are without saying a word.
✅Pharmacists are not typically comfortable with self-promotion and being in front of a camera, but get the headshot anyway!
How do you get a professional headshot?/Who does the photography?/Where do you go?
- Google places and look at their picture gallery. Do you like their work?
- Ask friends for a referral if they’re happy with their photographer.
- Find a professional photographer who…
📌is easy to work with
📌is easy to get to
📌creates high-resolution images
📌will give you a photo release to use them where you need to use them
📌has a clean and comfortable studio (visit the studio)
📌can show you samples of their work
📌has reasonable rates
📌and [optional] collaborates with a makeup artist you can hire.
Where can you use your professional headshot?
- Website(s)
- Social media
- Business cards
- Swag: coffee cup, T-shirt
- Online press kit/media kit/PR kit
- Conference Apps (APhA, state pharmacist organizations)
- Advertisement for a public-speaking appearance or other promotional materials
- Framed images for your office, store, or family
- Your resume
How often should you get one?
- I recommend every 1-2 years. Update your headshot when your appearance changes. If you’re a public speaker, you want the headshot you give the conference organizers to match your appearance when you show up live.
- Remember, this is your first impression. If you take a lot of online meetings, and people book those meetings off your website, where you have an outdated professional headshot, they’re in for a shock when they see you live!
How much does one cost?
- Depends on the number of images purchased, packages offered by the photographer, and additional services purchased (make-up application, pictures on a flash drive, etc.)
- Services provided: headshot, branding photos, make-up, etc.
- Combining sessions? (Branding? Family pics?)
Where should you store your professional headshots?
- Store your images in more than one place. Some suggestions include Google Drive, Dropbox, a flash drive, the cloud, or your computer’s hard drive.
- I talk about headshots and storing them in episode 140 of my podcast. To learn more, check out episode 140.
What should you wear [for your professional headshot]?
- Look at your photographer’s work samples. If you see something you like, copy it!
- Look at Pinterest for ideas.
- Ask a stylist to help you with your clothing if you need suggestions. Danielle Perrodin or Leslie Hodge from episodes 161 and 162 are excellent choices. They are pharmacists and person stylists/image consultants. They can definitely help!
-
My recommendations for a professional headshot for a pharmacist: Men & Women
-
I recommend a shirt and tie for men, dress or formal blouse with a blazer for women
- business casual or scrubs and a lab coat are fine too. I have also had audio equipment in some of my pictures.
- How you show up for the camera shows that you’re serious about your career.
-
Get your hair cut and/or colored (if needed) within a week prior to your session. Men, shave or trim your facial hair a couple of hours in advance.
-
Jewelry. Keep jewelry to a minimum. Think about how the pic might get cropped.
- Make-up. Get it right for flash photography, or hire a make-up artist.
Poses
- You can look at the photographer’s work samples. If you see something you like, copy it.
- If you have any requests, share them with your photographer. Go to Pinterest for ideas.
- If you want a variety, let him/her know!
- It’s likely that the photographer will ask you to assume a number of positions so that they can play with her body language. It may feel uncomfortable to hold certain positions at certain angles, but you will thank them for it later. They know how to play with light and angles so that you look great!
Get a photo release (gives legal permission to share the image with others)
- You have to ask for one.
- Printing shops WILL ask.
Research
- Research as needed so you get your needs met.
- You can google articles or find YouTube videos about finding a photographer, what to wear, poses, and more. Pharmacists love research! Do what you nee do to feel comfortable.
- Make a list of what you want, and share it with your photographer.
- Lay everything out in advance of the session. Make sure it’s clean, pressed, and ready to go.

Highlights from our conversation
Hoosier Stylist and Image Consultant is the name of Leslie’s business. It’s a play on words. “Hoosier” is a nickname for a person from Indiana. Leslie is a personal stylist and image consultant from Indiana.
Her services focus on clothing, shoes, jewelry, and outerwear recommendations for men and women. She also gives recommendations for hairstyles and nail colors.
🌈 Leslie’s favorite thing to help people with is discovering that they can wear color. She loves introducing people to different color palettes/different patterns so that they are comfortable wearing color.
Clients find Leslie online and via referrals. Services are provided online, however, clients in the Indianapolis area may be able to meet up in-person.
Many of Leslie’s clients have been pharmacists and healthcare professionals. She understands their pain points, like standing for long periods of time, wearing a long-sleeved lab coat, and dressing in a professional manner.
💥 Clothes can be transformational. Wearing a favorite color or fabric can make a client feel more comfortable and confident. Clothes can also help a person transition from personal time to work mode. For example, when you travel to work, you can wear heels or a fashionable shoe. Then, you can change to a more supportive shoes when your work shift begins. Shoes can transform a person’s mindset.
In the year 2022, many pharmacists would like to change jobs. One thing they may need is a professional-looking headshot. A great question to ask yourself about your headshot is, “What do I want to say without saying a word at all?” Other questions you may want to ask yourself:
📸 What headshot pictures online do I like?
📸 Which poses do I like?
📸 Do I want a traditional picture, or do I want to do something out-of-the-box?
📸 Can I maintain my look, or am I getting all glammed up? (Don’t be deceptive.)
📸 Does my headshot look like the same person who will show up for the interview? (And the first day on the job or the 100th day on the job?) Be consistent.
Social media was intended to connect people. People who are connected to you want to see the pro headshot and the casual pictures with no makeup and casual clothes. Don’t just show the highlights. Show the whole spectrum of you!
There are invisible expectations about how women pharmacists should dress. I commented that sometimes, pharmacists [and people in general] need permission to do something. Leslie pointed out that we are attached to other people's rules and expectations. Don’t live by someone else’s limitations. Take the limits off yourself! It’s ok to be you! A lot of pharmacists are scared of color and stepping outside of the box when it comes to finding their style or embracing their style. It’s ok to bring your personality into how you dress. Change the expectation of how you’re going to show up.
Success stories are awesome! Leslie shared how she started her first website and helped her first client. She has a true passion for helping people look their best!
🔢 Pharmacists love numbers. When asked how much she works as a traditional, clinical pharmacist, Leslie responded, “0%.” She works about 40% as a personal style and image consultant and 60% as an educator.
Leslie is an Adjunct Professor at Vincennes University’s Early College Program. She teaches Personal Health, Multicultural Health, and Public Health.
Leslie also trains CPhT’s at Emerge Learning Institute LLC. Emerge Learning Institute is a Certified Pharmacy Technician Training School. The program is 16 weeks long and is approved by the Indiana Board of Pharmacy. It’s in-person and online. She teaches soft skills in addition to a traditional curriculum.

Bio for Danielle Perrodin, Integrative Life & Style Coach:
My mission is to help women create happier, healthier more beautiful lives. By integrating the mind, body, and spirit, my clients expedite the time it takes to close the gap between their highest authentic selves (who they truly are) and how they appear to the world. I combine my love for fashion and understanding of how the brain works to give my clients unique tools to style their mind and body in order to learn how to Be Her(£) Now!
At an early age, I learned that life is too short. Two separate car crashes took away my stepdaughter and husband. After becoming a pharmacist, remarrying, and having 3 beautiful children, I found myself in a state of depression. Having fallen into the achievement trap of delaying happiness and gratification led me to quickly search out who I really was and reconnect to my love and passion for the beauty industry. I pushed through fears and broke through my comfort zone, and I now have the honor of lighting the way for other women to follow. I enjoy collaborating with other like-minded individuals.

Highlights from our conversation
Danielle Perrodin, LLC offers a “Be her be here” program. Her ideal clients are women functional medicine pharmacists and individuals in the holistic wellness realm who want to promote themselves online and put their face in front of their business.
Some women don’t feel comfortable putting themselves out there to be seen. Danielle helps with that by first helping women clean clothes out their closets. Then, she works on mindset issues and pivots from clothing to addressing those mindset issues. Many pharmacists have self-worth issues, and Danielle understands that. She’s a pharmacist too. Danielle has training as an integrative life coach in the mind-body-spirit connection. She knows how to support clients in mind, body, and spirit.
If you are interested in working with Danielle, check out her website https://www.danielleperrodin.biz. There are several ways to get in touch with her for a consult. For example, fill out the contact form on her website, and she will get in touch with you. Or, email her directly: dperrodin99@gmail.com. You can also connect with Danielle on LinkedIn.
The book The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, PhD inspired Danielle. It talked about energy medicine at a time that she needed to hear about it.
Danielle’s motto used to be, “Life sucks, and then you die.” It changed when she became an integrative life coach. Now, her mottos is, “Life is too short.” She wants to do things that are fun and light-hearted.
Danielle mentioned her feature in PharmaSis Magazine. Dr. Leslie Hodge styled Danielle for the feature.
“Clothing can be an entry point into the mind,” according to Danielle. She helps people be present with their clothing and think about if they use it or if they should toss it. She also helps them create a vision for who they want to be and how that person wants to dress. Decluttering can make physical space and mental space. Her clients say, “Oh my God, I didn't know this could just change my life. Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Closet clean-outs can even be done via Zoom!
“Capsule wardrobes” help people who don’t dress up often but need to look good for a specific reason, like a conference.
Danielle’s three “F’s” are, “Fit, function, and feeling.” Your wardrobe should fit; be functional; and make you feel good.
Danielle knows the right questions to ask her clients. For example, she asks, “Do you ever see yourself wearing this again? Does it fit? Is it in decent shape? Does it have holes in it?” Questions help Danielle find the low-hanging fruit. Once clients get started, they are excited and use that momentum to finish their decluttering session with Danielle. Freeing up space facilitates discussion about the future.
It’s ok to share your casual side and your business side on social media. You don’t have to pick one or the other. Just be authentic. Your posts should be in alignment with who you truly are.
Danielle works part-time in an inpatient Behavioral Health Hospital. Her 2023 goal is to work 75% in her Integrative Life & Style Coach Business and only 25% as a pharmacist.
In September 2022, Danielle is hosting her 4th Annual Disconnect to Reconnect Retreat. The purpose is to disconnect from the noise and the hustle and bustle of the world and to reconnect to yourself. Participants spend time with their inner voice, share space with like-minded individuals, and be creative. The 2022 D2R Retreat is sold out, but there is a wait list for the 2023 Retreat. To learn more, visit https://www.danielleperrodin.biz/disconnect-to-reconnect-retreat-2022.html.
I asked Danielle, “How does anyone understand that they need to come to you?” She said, “Usually, when they have too many clothes in their closet!”
✅They’re frustrated with having nothing to wear.
✅They keep throwing money at the problem, but it’s not solving the problem.
✅They know that they need to try something different, and they’re open to not knowing exactly what it is.
Danielle has helped many people. Her advice is: declutter your closets and your mind at the same time. It can literally can change your life!

Highlights from our interview
Dimple is a pharmacist and a makeup artist. She provides makeup services for prom, brides/weddings, and other occasions. She offers make-up trials before major events, touch-up kits, and follow-up appointments for education on recreating looks. She also teaches women how to apply make-up, eyebrow shaping, and more.
She is inspired by the creativity and art that is makeup and fascinated by how make-up can change someone's self-confidence and their face. It’s fun, and she loves working with people and making them feel good. She is warm and friendly, and her clients feel comfortable with her.
Dimple has been collecting make-up for years. She has a “huge kit” full of versatile products that can be used on different skin types and with a range of different skin tones. She has a separate kit for herself. She believes in technique versus buying the most expensive products on the market.
Dimple explained that it’s never too late to start wearing make-up. You can do what works for you. You don’t have to do what you see online/social media.
When it comes to makeup, trial and error is frustrating, and seeing all the different makeup lines, products, tools, and colors in a drug store can be overwhelming. Dimple recommends tried and trusted brands to her clients. She also recommends clients learn what kind of skin they have (oily, dry, or combination). Skin type affects how someone applies their make-up. Finding products that suit someone’s skin tone is important too. Finding colors that complement the eyes and other facial features is a science. A lot goes into picking the right products.
Dimple was a tomboy. As a young teenager, Dimple was bullied for the way she looked. That experience led her to self-improvement via makeup. She felt more confident with makeup. She also fell in love with the creative process of makeup, and it sparked her interest. She became skilled over time and became a really good self-taught makeup artist.
Dimple is a first-generation American. Her parents are immigrants from India. She was born and raised in Massachusetts, and she has been on the East Coast her entire life.
How did Dimple get into business?
After flawlessly applying makeup throughout high school and college, friends and family asked her if she could do their makeup for parties and events. She decided to create a freelance makeup business called Look Your Absolute Best. She bought business cards, made contracts, learned how to get clients, and learned how to sell her services. She worked as a make-up artist during pharmacy school.
What’s Dimple’s favorite thing about being a make-up artist?
Happy clients who are excited about how they look!
Clients find Dimple on Instagram (@LookYourAbsoluteBest) and via word-of-mouth. They can contact her on IG and via email.
What are Dimple’s best practices for posting pictures on Instagram?
Whether you’re posting a professional headshot or a picture from a swim meet, post whatever you're comfortable with. We have many faces to our personality and sharing the variety is best. Be yourself online. Don’t assume others will judge you.
We discussed makeup best practices for professional headshots. The amount of make-up needed for a professional headshot with flash photography is different from what is used for daily wear. Even men should wear powder during professional headshots!
When Dimple started out, she built her portfolio by working with professional photographers. For example, she worked with clients on their senior pictures. For my international friends, senior pictures are taken in the US before grade 12, ~ age 17-18 years old. It’s a right of passage in many US High Schools. Working with photographers helped Dimple gain experience and build relationships. She was very helpful to photographers and her makeup clients during photography sessions. Currently, Dimple’s clients are in the greater Boston, MA area.
During weeks when Dimple is working as both a pharmacist and a make-up artist, she spends 60-70% of her work week as a pharmacist. 30-40% of her time is spent as a make-up artist. Dimple is taking MBA classes part-time too!
For consumers interested in finding skincare for certain challenges, such as acne, dermatitis, or eczema, Dimple recommends the Skinfix skincare brand. (She is not affiliated with them.)
For someone who is interested in the business of being a makeup artist and how to build a makeup kit, gain expertise, and get clients, Dimple recommends Makeup by Jen on YouTube and Angie di Battista on YouTube.
If you're a consumer who is curious about the ingredients your makeup or skincare, check out these two apps:
- Detox me app https://silentspring.org/detox-me-app-tips-healthier-living
- Think dirty app https://thinkdirtyapp.com
These two apps allow you to scan QR codes of your products and learn if they are “safe” according to the app’s database.
Because Dimple is a pharmacist, she pays attention to expiration dates, best practices to avoid bacteria growth, allergens, and side effects. Tea Tree Oil is a common allergen in face creams and serums. Dimple also cares about sun safety. As a pharmacy student, Dimple worked in the Sun Safety Department at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. She worked with a dermatologist who offered skin cancer screenings on the beach. Raising awareness of skin cancer risk is one of Dimple’s passions. She recommends using facial moisturizers with SPF 30.
For busy pharmacist moms, Dimple recommends finding a five-minute routine that works. Try new looks when you have time, but find a routine that you can rely on. Hire a make-up artist like Dimple if you want a shortcut to buying the right products and a routine for your specific needs. Makeup artists can also help you understand what order to apply products and how to use makeup tools.
As a pharmacist, Dimple works for a pharmaceutical company in Boston. She loves her medical communications job. She’s in oncology at this time. Medical communications professionals generate, develop and disseminate the complex scientific information on drugs and the diseases that they treat.
As a pharmacy student, Dimple fell in love with oncology and picked that as a therapeutic area to focus on. Through trial and error, working various jobs, and having conversations with many people, she stumbled upon the pharmaceutical industry, which she fell in love with. She’s passionate about her pharmaceutical industry role, and she would recommend her job to anyone.
Dimple is also Adjunct Faculty at MCPHS University in Boston, within the pharmacy department. She tells students about her job so they know that pharma is a career option.
According to Dimple, if you are interested in a career in pharma, the first step is identifying which area within the industry you have some interest in. Once you know what you're looking for, find out how your strengths and your interests can best help you in that position and why you think you'd be good at it. Once you arrive at that point, do a job search. Search by therapeutic area, location, and department. Find a company that checks all three of those major boxes. There are many ways to go about getting a pharma job, including completing a fellowship.
Work-life balance is a hot topic for pharmacists right now (summer 2022). Even though Dimple has a full-time pharma job, is a part-time MBA student, and is a part-time makeup artist, she still makes time for friends, family, and other interests. She likes to plan, and that helps with work-life balance. She has a lot of passion for her current pursuits, and she is open to combining all three (pharma, MBA, and makeup) for her “dream job” in the future. Best wishes for continued success, Dimple! I’m so glad we met!

Today, we’re talking about IMLYGIC® (talimogene laherparepvec or T-VEC). In my pronunciation episodes, I say a brand drug name and its generic, break both drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source(s) of my information, and put the written pronunciations of both in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them.
Thank you for listening to episode 159 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!

What is IMLYGIC® (talimogene laherparepvec)? It’s a treatment for a skin cancer called melanoma.
IMLYGIC® = imm LY jik (I prefer to write it imm LYE jik.)
- Verbal/audio pronunciation source: IMLYGIC® Healthcare Provider Video
- Written pronunciation source: IMLYGIC® medication guide on the FDA’s website https://www.fda.gov/media/94135/download
T-VEC = T-VEC
- Pronunciation sources: none
talimogene laherparepvec = tal IM oh jeen la HER pa REP vek
- Verbal/audio pronunciation source: IMLYGIC® Healthcare Provider Video
- Written pronunciation source: USP Dictionary Online
If you can’t access the USP Dictionary Online for a written generic drug name pronunciation, and the drug name wasn’t mentioned verbally in a video published by the drug sponsor, you can also call the drug sponsor’s drug information department, and ask for help (during normal business hours). Another option is calling the Division of Drug Information at the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research during normal business hours. Calling either may sound intimidating, but if you’re a voice actor, and you need to get it right, do the right thing. Use reliable sources; put drug names into your own words; and say them with confidence. You can do this!
When you can see and hear a drug name pronunciation, it will be easier for you to say. If you like easy, get both!
If YOU’RE interested in picking a drug name for a future pronunciation episode, please visit www.thepharmacistsvoice.com, and click the contact tab. Either leave me a voicemail message or type out a written message using the contact form. I’d love to hear from you!

Each Friday in June 2022, I’m publishing an interview with a pharmacist dad in honor of Father’s Day, which was Sunday, June 19. This episode is an interview with Iqbal Atcha, RPh. During the first half of our conversation, we discussed how Iqbal uses his voice as a pharmacist. In the second half, we focused on Iqbal’s role as a Dad.
Bio:
Iqbal Atcha is the Senior Consultant for Healthcare Talent Acquisition at Lean Human Capital, now a part of symplr. He provides advisory services for clients across the healthcare recruitment industry specializing in organizational analysis, resource allocation, process efficiency, technology and automation, and recruitment marketing.
Iqbal joined Lean Human Capital in January 2022. Prior to this, he served as the Director of Talent Acquisition Strategy for Anthem where he helped develop, align, and oversee TA strategies for 7 subsidiaries including Caremore Health, Beacon Health, and IngenioRx.

Highlights from our conversation
Iqbal has used his voice in a variety of ways as a pharmacist. He said, “It’s been a mixed bag.”
At first, Iqbal was an entrepreneur (opened independent pharmacies and did consulting work). For the past 15 years, his focus has been talent acquisition for healthcare companies. Two years ago (2020), Atcha International became the third step in Iqbal’s career. According to the website, Atcha International Consulting Group is an independently owned and operated consulting firm that provides a variety of professional and personal development services, like resume writing, cover letter writing, LinkedIn profile optimization, interview preparation, career coaching, job search strategy, leadership development, public speaking, and life coaching for men.
Iqbal’s clients are mostly healthcare professionals and healthcare executives. He helps them rebrand themselves for career advancement opportunities and helps with leadership development. Iqbal frames a client’s messaging in a way that appeals to a HR talent acquisitions hiring manager. Among other things, he creates applicant-tracking-system-friendly resumes that highlight clients’ key skills in a chronological capacity with keywords that show achievements and accomplishments, not fluff words.
Over the years, Iqbal has mentored pharmacy students. He also taught and guest-lectured at a number of universities, including Midwestern University, Rosalind Franklin University, Chicago State University, and UIC.
Have you ever heard of Toastmasters International? It's a nonprofit organization that helps individuals fine tune their communication and leadership skills. I am a current member. Iqbal was a long-time member. During his Toastmasters journey, Iqbal became confident using his voice and speaking to different audiences about topics that were near and dear to healthcare and pharmacists in general.
Iqbal helped pharmacy students in the Chicagoland area start Toastmasters chapters. Check out Toastmasters today to become a better public speaker and a better evaluator! Find a Toastmasters meeting by visiting https://www.toastmasters.org. Just click the “Find a Club” tab, and enter your address.
During the second half of our interview, our conversation focused on fatherhood and family.
Iqbal is married with 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren. Everyone lives in or around the Chicagoland area. He has one son, one daughter, one step-daughter, two grandsons, and one granddaughter. Iqbal was a young dad. His son was born when he was a 20-year-old pharmacy student. His daughter was born when he was 24. Iqbal is also active in his aging parents’ lives.
Being a young dad and a pharmacy student was hard work. Iqbal talked about long, busy days during our conversation. He said it was worth it.
We also discussed the following topics:
- Challenges of being a Dad
- Childcare
- Quality time
- Iqbal’s favorite parts of being a father
- Balancing work and family
- What Iqbal does for “me time” to recharge his batteries
- A surprising expense associated with raising children
- His favorite Avengers character
- General advice for current or prospective dads

Each Friday in June 2022, I’m publishing an interview with a pharmacist dad in honor of Father’s Day, which is Sunday, June 19. This episode is an interview with Tony Guerra, PharmD. During the first half of our conversation, we discuss how Tony uses his voice as a pharmacist. In the second half, we focus on Tony’s role as a Dad.

Tony Guerra, M.HCI., Pharm.D., is a pharmacist who helps students write their way into a residency by helping them with their interviews, CVs, and letters of intent. He lives in Ankeny, Iowa with his wife and triplet daughters.
You can find The Pharmacy Residency Podcast on iTunes or at https://pharmacyresidencypodcast.com/
You can find his courses at https://residency.teachable.com/
You can find his audiobooks on Audible from career to pharmacology and pharmacotherapy here https://www.audible.com/author/Tony-Guerra/B00AECS0ZG
He welcomes you to join and subscribe to his TonyPharmD YouTube channel has 35,000 subscribers https://www.youtube.com/c/tonypharmd
Highlights from our conversation
Tony uses his voice as a pharmacist in a number of ways. He has experience in retail pharmacy. Now, he’s a college professor, podcaster, online course creator, author, husband, father of 3, youth sports coach, and more.
Some pharmacists have learned that traditional, clinical pharmacist hours are fundamentally incompatible with being a good parent.
Tony reveled the #1 reason someone does not get a residency. He also gave advice about writing a residency letter of intent.
Tony is an entrepreneur. He finds a need and fills the gap. Many pharmacists feel guilty about getting paid to do something outside traditional, clinical practice. Tony pointed out that providing free resources as well as paid resources is a good way to overcome that guilt.
As an experienced author, Tony talked about how long it takes to go from idea to published and described how long it takes for a normal book compared to a book that he recently published with Brandon Dyson, PharmD at an accelerated pace. Tony also shared tips on writing a book.
How can women get men to read books, like Tony Guerra’s Without Being Asked: How Can Dads and Kids Help Organize and Declutter To Reduce Family Burnout? Tony suggested putting it in, “Fix-it language” or, “Guy speak.”
Tony shares individual drug name pronunciations on his YouTube channel. To learn more, visit https://www.youtube.com/c/tonypharmd.
Visit https://residency.teachable.com to learn more about Tony’s online courses. Topics include pharmacology and pharmacy residencies.
Tony has been married since 2007, and has triplet daughters, age 10. We discussed a range of “Dad” topics, including:
- Apologizing
- “Dad time-outs”
- Being present and not letting career get in the way of being present
- Fertility issues
- Praise for his wife during her long hospital bedrest
- His daughters’ 3 month stay in the NICU
- Advice to pharmacist dads on when to have a child/children
- Biggest challenges of fatherhood
- Favorite things about fatherhood
- Kids and sports/extracurricular activities
- Raising kids is expensive. We discussed an expense that surprised Tony.
- General advice for current or prospective pharmacist dads.

The pronunciation of Trulicity® (dulaglutide) is the focus of this episode. In my pronunciation episodes, I say a drug name, break it down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source(s) of the information, and put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see it and and use it right away.
Having a colleague pick the drug name worked so well last month with Dr. Jennifer Marquez (May 2022) that I asked Allana Alexander, PharmD to pick the drug name for June 2022. If you’re interested in recommending the drug name for a future pronunciation episode on The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast, contact me through my website www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Just click on the “Contact” tab, and either fill out the form or leave me a voicemail message.

Highlights from the interview
Tim Graduated from Ohio Northern University (ONU) in 2008. ONU’s PharmD program is a 0-6 Direct Entry Program.
Some experiences give us perspective, disrupt our plans, and change our ultimate goals and career paths. Tim mentioned several examples from his own life.
- A 3-week-long P6 rotation to Kenya
- Mentorship from Marialice Bennett
- His residency training at OSU where he fell in love with teaching.
Ultimately, Tim co-founded Your Financial Pharmacist (YFP) in 2018 with Tim Baker. He took a curvy, nonlinear path to founding YFP. He spent 10 years in an academic role. Part of his time was spent in clinical practice, and the other part was spent teaching at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) College of Pharmacy. In 2018, he led the MS in Health System Pharmacy Administration Program at OSU before transitioning to a full-time role at YFP. His professional experiences prepared him for the work he is doing now and running his own business.
Tim Baker is Tim Ulbrich’s business partner. Mr. Baker is a certified financial planner. Tim Baker and Tim Ulbrich help pharmacists achieve financial freedom. There is an opportunity and a need to create a financially well pharmacist workforce. That’s at the center of everything that Tim and his team do at YFP. Tim explained his personal “why” for wanting to impact the financial wellness of pharmacists.
Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast is available at https://yourfinancialpharmacist.com/podcasts/. The podcast launched in 2017. As of May 2022, there are 3 shows per week. Tim has published more than 400 episodes and crossed the 1,000,000 download mark in 2022. They have a running list of ideas for new episodes. Subscribe/follow Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast today!
We all learn from other people’s stories. Pharmacists share their financial journeys on the podcast. Listeners love the stories because they can relate. There are three shows/week on the podcast. Here’s a brief description:
- Monday, Ask a YFP CFP
- Thursday, Main show/original show
- Saturday, Real estate investing episodes featuring David Bright and Nate Hedrick.
Hearing a competent, reassuring voice is important. Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast is YFP’s #1 source of referrals from a financial planning service standpoint. It’s a relationship-building tool. Building rapport and relationships is important so that people feel invited to be vulnerable and take the next step to becoming a client, like an initial conversation. Listening to a podcast is a warmer connection than reading a blog.
Great ideas can become businesses or services. Do you have the solution to a problem people care about? Tim encourages anyone who has a great idea that is a solution to a problem people care about to get that information out there.
There is a need for a financially well pharmacist workforce. Tim Ulbrich and Tim Baker are building a community of people who care about pharmacist financial wellness and give them an outlet to communicate with one another through the YFP Community.
Tim referred to the “YFP Community” throughout our conversation. You can think of the YFP community as YFP Podcast listeners and YFP Facebook Group Members. Tim Baker and Tim Ulbrich facilitate the community. They don’t want to be at the center of the conversation. They want to be the facilitators of the conversation. What do people do in the community? They ask questions, share wins, comment on posts, share ideas, and relate to one another using personal experiences.
Ideas for podcast episodes and guests come from questions or engagement in the YFP Community. Repeated questions or comments make great content for the podcast. Lots of engagement on a post can lead to a good episode topics. For example, Tim mentioned an episode featuring 3 pharmacists who collectively had more than $700K in student loan debt. Their debt was forgiven tax-free under the federal student loan forgiveness program.
With over 1 million downloads, the YFP Podcast has touched many lives. Tim is humble and appreciates the listener’s time.
Transformational stories of debt elimination are powerful. Tim takes time personally to celebrate client successes. It reminds him, “Who we are as a company/team? What are we doing? Why are we doing it? It’s not about ego. It’s a reminder of what we’re trying to accomplish. We are the guide with the plan who facilitates the transformation.”
Tim Ulbrich is also a public speaker. He has spoken at conferences, to groups of pharmacists, and to pharmacy students.
“There is work to do!” Tim wants to see personal finance education included in PharmD programs. Advocating for a financially well pharmacist workforce at the state and national level is needed. Because YFP has a community, it can be activated around issues that the community values. In the future, the community will have the opportunity to be part of YFP Gives.
During the second half of the conversation, we talked about family and “Dad stuff.”
Tim married his college sweetheart Jess. They have 4 sons ages 2-10. Jess homeschools all four boys. Teaching four levels of learners and four learning styles is a challenge.
According to Tim, business, fatherhood, and marriage have given him great opportunities for individual growth and showing grace.
We also discussed
- How he and Jess decided to start a family
- Favorite things about being a Dad
- Challenges of being a Dad
- Balancing work and family
- General advice from himself to current or prospective pharmacist Dads
Thank you Dr. Tim Ulbrich for being my guest on The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast! Happy Father’s Day!

Highlights from the interview
Pharmacy was Janet’s 2nd choice, but it was a good choice. Initially, she wanted to go to veterinary school.
Janet retired in 2018, after more than 40 years of pharmacy practice. Her internship (during pharmacy school) was at Ryan Pharmacy in Toledo, OH. She worked at Magruder Hospital in Port Clinton for a year. Then, she worked at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center (“St. V’s”) in Toledo, OH for more than 40 years. During that time, she served a number of roles as a pharmacist:
- Main inpatient pharmacy
- Peds, neonatal, L&D (labor and delivery), and Peds chemo
- Ortho
- General medicine floor
- ICU and ICU satellite pharmacy
- Midnights as the solo pharmacist with 2 techs (~8 years)
- OR satellite for open heart and vascular surgery (~10 years)
- Outpatient pharmacy
Being versatile has its advantages. Janet could float around as needed. When she worked part-time as a new Mom, she could cover shifts in a variety of areas.
As her kids grew up, her roles changed. Janet went from part-time in various areas to working full-time on midnights for 8 years. She worked four, 10-hour shifts per week. Then, she moved to day shift. At first, she worked Peds and floated. Then, she worked in the OR satellite for open heart and vascular surgery during the last 10 years of her career. Her community practice skills from her intern days came in handy throughout her career. She floated to the outpatient department throughout her 40 years at V’s as well.
Getting a pharmacist job has changed over the years. She got hired on the spot during her initial interview in the 1970’s. She was qualified. Plus, the person interviewing her knew her internship preceptor and understood the depth of her training.
Mentors are important. Janet had a great mentor at Magruder Hospital as a newly licensed pharmacist, and she was able to mentor a number of students and new pharmacists throughout her career.
Many pharmacists feel like they don’t know enough upon graduation and passing their licensing exams. Janet advised a pharmacist to get a notebook and write down important things in it. That pharmacist said it was the best piece of advice anyone had ever given her. To help with quick retrieval of important information, Janet created 3-ring binders with drug information, departmental expectations, etc. Those binders pre-dated online resources. Later in her career, the binders were great references during computer down time and in case of emergencies. While working on midnights, those binders were very helpful and helped her collaborate effectively with other midnight pharmacists seeking information.
In her retirement, Janet and her husband Tom (also a retired pharmacist and featured on The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast episode 3) are medical missionaries with Christian Medical and Dental, a subgroup of Global Health Outreach. Services offered are a medical clinic, dental clinic, eye clinic, and pharmacy. Janet and Tom’s mission trips have taken them to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Lebanon, and The Gambia (Africa).
Each trip is 7-10 days long. Medical missionaries meet the medical and spiritual needs of the people they serve. Pharmacy students from Cedarville University School of Pharmacy have been on their trips too.
Interpreters are important members of mission teams. Interpreters help pharmacists counsel patients on Tylenol, ibuprofen, antibiotics, antifungals, and more. Tom and Janet plan to continue mission work during retirement.
During the second half of our interview, we talked about family and motherhood. Janet and Tom have been married more than 40 years. They have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren. Topics we discussed include:
- A good time for a pharmacist to start a family
- Childcare
- Favorite things about being a Mom and a Grandma
- Developing friendships with other parents
- Carpooling
- Words of wisdom for speaking to your adult children
- A book recommendation: Doing Life with Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out by Jim Burns, PhD
- Bedtime routines and staying organized
- Work-life balance
- Planning things to look forward to
- General advice for pharmacist moms

Highlights from the interview
In search of professional fulfillment, Natasha launched her online business Fertility Pharmacist in 2019. Her personal struggle with infertility inspired her to help other families.
Natasha and her husband worked as pharmacists in Bethel, Alaska for 7 years. Their journey to two successful IVF pregnancies began in Alaska. To explore employment opportunities with the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation, visit https://www.ykhc.org.
Natasha credits Dr. Julie Lamb from Pacific Northwest Fertility as an important part of her successful IVF journey and recommends researching the science their fertility clinic providers use. Tour the lab, and learn how they freeze and thaw eggs, train staff, and more. These are all topics Natasha coaches on.
In January 2022, Natasha taught six students via her Online Fertility Academy. Then, she coached two students one-on-one after the course concluded. Natasha mentioned that her Hope Plus Method includes elements of functional medicine, such as education about environmental toxins, sleep, hydration, and more. There is a waiting list for the next round of Online Fertility Academy students. It should start in summer 2022. Contact Natasha for more information about the online academy or one-on-one coaching through her website https://www.fertilitypharmacist.com.
What’s next for Fertility Pharmacist? Natasha wants to demonstrate how to handle and administer fertility drugs via her social media channels. To subscribe to Natasha’s social media channels, check out the links above. She also wants to offer DUTCH testing to patients and provide clinical input on medications to other healthcare professionals who help their own clients with fertility concerns.
Natasha works 30 hours/week at the Indian Health Service (IHS), but she is not a Public Health Service employee. She is a hepatitis case manager in her workplace, has cured 19 people of hepatitis, and works to save the clinic money using patient assistance programs and other strategies. According to Natasha, IHS is family-friendly, and the healthcare benefits are excellent. Plus, she does not work weekends, and does not report to work on 10 federal holidays. Her husband is transitioning from his hospital pharmacist role to an IT pharmacist role.
In addition to being an entrepreneur and clinical pharmacist for IHS, Natasha heads the Narcan program in her town. She educates people on the signs of drug overdose and how to use Narcan.
You can find Natasha in the Spring 2021 issue of PharmaSIS Magazine.
Pharmacists need encouragement and support from other pharmacists. During our interview, Natasha encouraged pharmacists to, “Hold on to your original mission for becoming a pharmacist.”
Pharmacist Moms need encouragement too. Natasha said, “Have a good support team around you. Never give up!” We also agreed that, “The years are short, but the days are long.”
The second half of our interview centered around being Moms. We discussed:
- A good time to start a family.
- Her favorite things about being a Mom
- Challenges she faces as a Mom
- Fun Mom’s Night Out ideas
- Me time activities
- Pregnancy cravings
- Book and product suggestions (see above)

Highlights from the interview
Black women are doing great things in the pharmacy profession, and Black Women Pharmacists Podcast is a great place to learn about them. It’s primarily an interview show. Ijeoma highlights pharmacist career paths and careers and gives black women pharmacists a place to share their experiences. Networking with strong women is a perk of being the podcast host.
Brown Skin Stories was the original name of Ijeoma’s podcast. It was rebranded as Black Women Pharmacists Podcast when Ijeoma decided to focus on black women in pharmacy. As she was niching down the topic of her podcast, the University of the Sciences/Philadelphia College of Pharmacy has been supportive of Ijeoma’s journey. Representation matters in podcasting too.
According to the 2019 Pharmacist Workforce Survey (page 12, Table 2.1.2), the percentage of black or African American Pharmacists in the US is 5%. In 2014, it was 2.3%. In 5 years, the percentage of black or African American Pharmacists in the US more than doubled. It’s far from matching the US population stats, but the number of black or African American Pharmacists in the US is growing. The percentage of the US population that identifies as black or African American only is 12.4% (2020 US Census data).
Ijeoma became a new Mom in September 2021. Her son’s name is Chisimdi. His nickname is “Munch.”
We talked about the following:
- Ijeoma’s favorite part about being a Mom
- When to have a baby
- Biggest challenges of being a Mom
- Balancing work and family
- We love lists!
- The four D’s
- Favorite “Me time” activity
- Biggest craving while pregnant
- Favorite “Girl’s Night Out” (Mom’s Night Out) activity
- A surprising thing she had to buy when she became a Mom
- A book or audiobook recommendation
- General advice for current or prospective moms
Ijeoma launched the Passive Income Pharmacy Professional (PIPP) Course in April 2022. To learn more, visit https://passiveincomepharmacyprofessional.com. There is a free webinar training available through the website. Ijeoma talks about PIPP on Episode 50 of Black Women Pharmacists Podcast. She will be back to talk about PIPP on The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast in August 2022.
Dr. Ijeoma Ekeocha’s Full Bio (April 2022)
Ijeoma Ekeocha completed her Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of the Sciences, formally known as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, in 2009. Following graduation, she practiced as a Clinical Pharmacist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Subsequently, she completed her post-graduate training and became the first and only Non-Traditional Pharmacy Resident at The Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2014-to 2016.
In 2016, she moved to the Big Apple (NYC) and joined a large academic medical center as the Lead Pharmacist, and was eventually promoted to the Regulatory Pharmacy Manager Role for the Specialty Pharmacy services. In April of 2022, Ijeoma made another transition and joined a continuing medical education company, where she works as an Associate Medical Director.
She's also the founder of Brown Skin Stories, LLC and host of Black Women Pharmacists, a podcast created to share stories of Black women practicing in various fields of pharmacy.

Ijeoma is passionate about mentoring the next generation of women to help them cultivate their unique characteristics to share their contributions with the world. When she's not working or embarking on a new adventure, her favorite activity is spending time with her son Chisimdi and her husband, Antonio.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms reading this!
I’m publishing one podcast episode per month on the topic of drug name pronunciations. This new series started in February 2022. It is May 2022 now, so this is the fourth episode in the pronunciation series. If you missed the first three episodes, you’ll still understand this one. Links to the first three are in the show notes (Ep 134, 138, and 142).
In my pronunciation episodes, I say a drug name, break it down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see it and and use it right away.
In this episode, my colleague Dr. Jennifer Marquez picked the drug names! If YOU would like to recommend a drug name for a future pronunciation episode and be featured on The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast, please use the contact form or voicemail button on my website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/#contact.
Besponsa® = beh-SPON-suh
Places I was unable to find the written pronunciation (phonetic spelling) of Besponsa®.
- Not in the package insert under “Patient Counseling Information.”
- FDA website (no medication guide available)
- https://www.besponsa.com (no patient or healthcare professional videos)
- YouTube search (No video published by Pfizer)
I always look for something official from the drug sponsor to make sure I get the right INTENDED pronunciation. Since I couldn’t find anything online, I contacted Pfizer’s Media Relations Department. It worked! Thank you Pfizer Media Relations for providing the phonetic spelling!
inotuzumab = IN oh TOOZ ue mab
ozogamicin = OH zoe ga MYE sin
Inotuzumab ozogamicin pronunciation source = USP Dictionary Online (USAN). Thank you USP Legal for permission to share!
One of the trickiest things about pronouncing drug names is the vowels.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them. I hope these pronunciation episodes help!
Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast episode 148!

This is a follow-up solo episode from Episode 146, my interview with Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP about autism awareness and acceptance (April 2022). My name is Kim Newlove, and I’m the host of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. I am 43 years old, and I have a 19-year-old son with autism. I’ve been married for more than 20 years, and my husband and I also have a 17-year-old son. Kraig is 19. Derrick is 17.
In this very personal episode, I wanted to share my family’s experience with autism diagnosis and treatment. Resources are also mentioned in this episode (websites and books).
This episode is specifically targeted for parents of young children with autism who would appreciate hearing about another family’s experiences and their words of wisdom. I wish this kind of [audio] information would have been available in 2005, when my son was newly diagnosed. I honestly didn’t have much time to read.
If you know someone who needs to hear this episode, please share it when them. If you have questions, contact me using the contact form on my website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/#contact. Thank you. 🧩
Disclaimers: As a pharmacist, I’m dying to make this episode as complete and helpful as possible, but I’m sure I’ll leave things out. I’m a human. I’m a parent. And, I’m just trying to help. I’m not a developmental pediatrician, child psychiatrist, child psychologist, or pediatric neurologist. I’m not treating YOUR child. This episode is not meant to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure autism. I’m just sharing my personal experiences as a parent of a child with autism. Caution! This episode may also make you want to be a stay-at-home Mom. If you’re a working Mom, it may make you question yourself. Don’t. If you can’t be a stay-at-home Mom, you’re still a good Mom. I’m not judging you. Don’t judge yourself.

Today is Wednesday, April 20, 2022. I don’t typically publish podcast episodes on Wednesdays, but I have a good reason to publish one today! According to a Time Magazine article, both marijuana smokers and non-smokers agree that April 20 (or 420) is recognized as a national holiday for cannabis culture. In honor of 420, today’s episode is an interview with Leah Sera, PharmD, Program Director of the Master of Science Degree in Cannabis Science and Therapeutics at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. It’s the only MS Program in the US devoted to the comprehensive and holistic study of cannabis science. If you want to hear about the program and how Dr. Sera uses her voice as an educator, you’re in the right place.

Highlights from the interview
It takes 2 years to complete the MS Degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics at The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. 30 credits are required. Classes are primarily online. An in-person visit to campus in Rockville, MD is required once/semester. Classes are asynchronous, which is great for full-time working professionals and parents.
Dual degree opportunity!
PharmD students can also earn a MS Degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics and graduate on-time.
Who pursues the MS Degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics?
Students must have a BS Degree or higher to enter the program. Past/current students have included pharmacists, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, grad students with basic sciences degrees, attorneys, public health professionals, patient advocates, entrepreneurs, business professionals, and more.
What can graduates do with their degree?
It’s not just one thing. Depending on the graduate’s background and academic goals, they can take what they learned and apply it to their area of expertise. Because this degree is fairly new (2019), there is limited data. Some students have used the degree to
- Expand their practice
- Become an educator
- Pursue entrepreneurship
- As a stepping stone to something else, like quality assurance in industry or pursuing a PhD or other MS Degree (ex: pharmacology, psychology, or business)
What is a common myth or misconception about the MS Degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics at The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy?
- It is not a PharmD program.
- Completing the MCST Degree does not lead to any type of clinical licensure.
What’s the program like?
There are foundational courses and electives. To learn more, visit the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy’s website. The electives help students customize the program to suit their interests, such as law, clinical therapeutics, analytical testing, etc.
Which resources can be useful for learning about Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics?
- PubMed
- National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Marijuana and Medicine Report
What’s NOT in the curriculum?
- There is NO hands-on interaction with the cannabis plant.
- There is NO training or education on the cultivation of the cannabis plant.
(**The focus is on therapeutics, health policy, and pharmaceutical sciences.)
How is the MS Degree program different from a certificate training program? For example, the International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists has a Clinical Cannabinoid Pharmacy Certificate (CCPC).
- It’s a MS Degree, not a certificate.
- The Program is comprehensive.
- Networking opportunities with other students in the program who are also passionate about medical cannabis science and with industry professionals.
- Diverse learners - not just pharmacists.
- Stepping stone to another degree, if desired.
What if students can’t afford the time or tuition to pursue their MS Degree in Cannabis Science and Therapeutics (MCST)?
-
Self-study is an option. There are some professional organizations devoted to medical cannabis advocacy
-
International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists (ISCPh)
- Society of Cannabis Clinicians
-
International Cannabinoid Research Society (ISRS)
-
Financial Aid is available at the University of Maryland.
- This 2-year program can be stretched beyond 2 years (up to 5 years from the time of enrollment).
How do program graduates keep up with changes?
Get updates sent to you automatically! (Brilliant idea…thanks Dr. Sera!). Ex: keyword searches on PubMed or sign up for newsletters from cannabis societies. Get the information sent to you!
Go to conferences. Examples: Cannabis Conference West in California and Cannabis Conference East in Baltimore, MD. To learn more, visit https://www.cannabisscienceconference.com.
There are textbooks about Medical Cannabis
- Cannabis Pharmacy: The Practical Guide to Medical Marijuana by Michael Backes
- Cannabis: A Clinician’s Guide by Betty Wedman-St. Louis (Editor)
What does the future hold for medical cannabis science and therapeutics?
- There will continue to be advances in medical cannabis research in the US and around the world.
- Improved acceptance of cannabis as medicine.
Are you a generator or a reactor? In this episode I talk about the personality you take on when you speak in public. You likely fall into one of two broad categories: generators and reactors.
Thank you for listening to episode 144 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!
For the full show notes, visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast/.
Many of the ideas in this episode were inspired by Valerie Geller’s book Beyond Powerful Radio: A Communicator’s Guide to the Internet Age chapter two, which is titled, “Are you a Generator or a Reactor?”
Generators are bursting with ideas that come from within, but they can work either alone or with others.
Some statements that describe a generator:
“A generator is undaunted by a blank page.”
“Has a strong, independent imagination”
“Can easily work alone or as part of a team.”
“Has a lot of ideas and energy.”
“Can sit in a room alone, and their mind overflows with ideas.”
Who are some “Generators” in the world of pharmacy podcasts? In my humble opinion, two pharmacist podcasters who come mind: Dr. Adam Martin (host of The Fit Pharmacist Podcast) and Dr. Erin L. Albert (host of The Edutainer Podcast).
Reactors are also creative individuals. A reactor “reacts” to something as the source of their material.
Some statements that describe reactors:
“A reactor faces a blank page with terror.”
“A reactor can be very funny or comment thoughtfully when paired with a generator.” I like to think of this in improv terms. A reactor can, “Yes, and” very well.
Reactors “react” well in an interview situation when guests generate for them.”
Being a reactor or a generator is like being right or left handed. One isn’t better than the other, however, most people are reactors. True generators are rare. If needed, a right-handed person can learn to use their left hand, and a left-handed person can learn to use their right hand. Could you adapt to be a generator or a reactor if the occasion called for it? I bet you could! This could apply to any type of public speaking, like leading a session at a conference, working in a group, being a podcast guest, or hosting a podcast. Lots of situations.
During this episode, I discuss:
What would happen if you put a reactor in the role of a generator?
What would happen if you put a generator in the role of a reactor?
What would happen if you put two reactors together?
What would happen if you put two generators together?
Are you a generator or reactor looking to start a podcast?
- Why are you starting a podcast?
- Who is it for?
- What do you want listeners to do with the information?
In podcasting, knowing some of the common pitfalls, like putting two generators or two reactors together can help.
- Prepare
- Ask good questions.
- Interrupt and redirect when necessary.
- And remember to deliver the content that your audience wants to hear.
On my journey from pharmacist to voice actor and podcast host, I have learned that I need something to react to in order to create podcast episodes. Identifying and developing your strengths will serve you well in your public-speaking roles. Embrace your personality (whichever one it is), do your best with the strengths you have, and challenge yourself to grow. Generate for other reactors; challenge generators to react for you; and be the best generator or reactor you can be.

Today’s episode includes a recap of my weekend at the Ohio Pharmacist Association (OPA) Annual Conference April 1-3, 2022, and brief interviews with Ohio pharmacists Emlah Tubuo, PharmD and Greg Kramp, PharmD.
Disclaimer. I am an OPA Member, but I do not work for The Ohio Pharmacists Association. The opinions mentioned in this podcast episode are my own and not necessarily those of OPA. Also, I am not being compensated for any content in this podcast episode.
This episode has 4 parts.
In the first part, I’ll give a recap from the sessions I attended: session title and speaker(s) name(s), plus two take-aways.
I attended 11 sessions and earned 16 hours of CE. Ten sessions were 90 minutes long. One was only 60 minutes long. There were multiple offerings for each time slot, and it was hard to pick just one to attend.
The second part is my interview with Emlah Tubuo, PharmD.
The third part is my interview with Greg Kramp, PharmD.
The fourth and final part of this episode will be a few stories about what went wrong back home while I was gone. If you’re a parent of teenagers, you’re going to groan. It has to do with my younger son missing the ACT on Saturday, April 2, and the death of the only houseplant I own.

Just a few things went wrong back home while I was away for 3 days. Gratitude first. The house did not burn down, and my husband and both kids were alive when I got home.
What went wrong?
- My son Derrick missed the ACT because he forgot about it.
- My only houseplant died a horrible death by wind, rain, and cold temps.
- Our trash ended up in our recycling toter and the recyclables ended up in the trash toter.
- I left March 31, and no one flipped the calendars in the house to April. No one printed the new lunch calendar for April either.
- When my family went to church, no one brought the Noisy Change Offering, which is only collected the first Sunday of the month. My son had to loan my husband cash so we could contribute toward the charity of the month.
- My husband also forgot to pick his prescriptions up at the pharmacy on Saturday. The pharmacy is closed Sunday.
Better luck next time, boys! Please laugh. I know I did. That’s life, and life can be messy!

When you say a drug name, have you ever second-guessed yourself? Maybe you went to YouTube, listened to a lecture by an “expert,” and presumed they got it right, only to say that drug name at work yourself and got laughed at or corrected? That’s frustrating! Been there, done that.
Whether you’re a pharmacist, a pharmacy tech, a student, a professor, a voice actor in the medical space, a patient, or someone else, if you want help learning drug name pronunciations, you’re listening to the right podcast series!
During these pronunciation episodes, I share at least two drug names: one generic (non-proprietary) drug name and one brand-name drug.
Resources are important. Pharmacists love to look up whatever we don’t know, right? So, knowing THE RIGHT resources is key. I share the sources of the intended pronunciations of the drug names mentioned on the podcast.
I say the drug name, break it down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see the drug name that you heard on the podcast, and use it right away.
There’s a lot of misinformation online. The key to success is using reliable sources of information so you can get it right. Note: we all have different accents and primary languages. “Getting it right” might sound slightly different to different people. Get it right for you so you can communicate effectively in your practice setting. Learning drug names doesn’t have to be frustrating, and you will sound confident when you get it right. You got this!

Do you have a press kit? When you create and use a press kit, you tell the world what you want the world to know about you. During my career transition from pharmacist to voice actor, developing a press kit was a necessity! In this episode, I talk about:
💥What a press kit is.
💥What’s in my press kit?
💥Why do I have one?
💥When do I use it?
💥Where do I store it?
💥How do I share it?
💥How often do I update it?
💥Who needs a press kit?
I hope this episode gives you ideas for making your own press kit. Pharmacists don’t like to promote themselves, but wouldn’t you rather have a fast, easy way to communicate who you are to the world? Remember to make the information valuable to the listener/reader: Who are you? Why should the listener/reader be interested in you? Create your press kit today! You got this!

Dr. Jamie Wilkey talks about the PGX Consulting Confidence Academy, which focuses on the business side of running a pharmacogenomics practice. Pharmacists don’t have a lot of business training. So, if you’re interested in creating your own pharmacogenomics practice, this episode will have a lot of value for you.
Read the full show notes at https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com for the highlights of our conversation.
How do pharmacists use their voices in the pharmacogenomics space? How do they learn the science of PGX? How do they start their businesses and get paid? My PGX Pharmacists Series has given me the opportunity to learn from Dan, Sue, Mariam, and Jamie, and I have really enjoyed our conversations! (See episodes 133, 135, 137, and 139 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast)
Dr. Jamie Wilkey is a pharmacist who loves what she does and brings passion and happiness to the pharmacy profession.
Jamie grew up in a small town in Wyoming where she got her start in pharmacy working at the local City Drug. She attended the University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy for her Doctor of Pharmacy. She was active in student government while at UW and also served as president and later as vice-president of her pharmacy class.
For 10 years post-graduation, Jamie worked in community pharmacy while having and raising her 4 little boys. Frustrated by the stress and schedule of that position, she created her own job for herself that better suits her talents, her passions, and her family’s busy schedule. She abruptly jumped out of retail and into the world of entrepreneurship and has found her true calling in life. She is the founder & CEO of Arches Health, LLC. She serves patients in her community as a consultant pharmacist focusing on pharmacogenomics. After getting her practice up and running began to empower other pharmacists to do the same. She teaches pharmacists in her online program & active network called PGx Consulting Confidence Academy to confidently champion PGx and create their own consulting practices that bring the flexibility, freedom, and satisfaction they are seeking from their careers.

Highlights from the interview
It all started with LinkedIn.
After 10 years in community practice, Jamie Created a LinkedIn account. Once she connected with other pharmacists at the beginning of the pandemic, she saw what was possible for a pharmacist to do. She couldn’t go back to community practice. She knew she was capable of so much more.
Having conversations and sharing ideas over time gets results.
With more than 15K connections on LinkedIn (as of February 2022), Jamie is well-connected. As time goes on, people seek connection with Jamie, and she invites others to connect. Jamie posts consistently on LinkedIn. It has drawn a following and has been rewarding. She has found her tribe and people with similar ideas.
Learning the science and business of PGX
Jamie learned the science of PGX through certificate programs. Learning the business of PGX included trial and error, talking to others who were 1-5 steps ahead of her, and using free resources through the U.S. Small Business Administration (Women Business Center of Utah).
Time management is important.
Once Jamie started working as a PGX pharmacist in a clinic, she shared about it on LinkedIn. A number of pharmacists reached out to her privately, asking her to coach them and help them.
In the early days of her PGX practice, Jamie’s time was limited due to her private practice caseload and family commitments. She knew she couldn’t work individually with pharmacists. As an alternative, she created an online course and “dumped her brain into it.” She has earned more than $200K with her online course. She recently passed her clinical PGX pharmacy practice on to one of her students, which allows her to spend more time with family and updating her online course.
Serial entrepreneur
Since founding the PGX Consulting Confidence Academy, Jamie has also co-founded Own Your PharmD with Dr. Karen Brown.
A typical work week
Jamie works three days/week: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 5 AM - 7 PM. Mornings are for projects. Afternoons are for meetings. Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends are for her interests and her family.
Setting the vision
Entrepreneurs set the vision for what they want their lives to be like. Setting boundaries makes it happen.
Features of the PGX Consulting Confidence Academy
It’s a self-paced online course with live weekly online meetings. Students learn the business of PGX (not the science). The goal is to help her students build a profitable business and change patients’ lives. Students can consume the content as fast or slow as they want. The weekly online meetings are for Q&A and discussion about successes, stumbling blocks, and more. There is also an interactive, private social media group. According to Jamie, the online community is an uplifting place to be.
Prospective student info
- There are ~160 lessons (as of February 2022) and ~50 hours of content. New content is added regularly. A simple, two page blueprint gives students an overview of the course and helps them navigate it.
- The Academy has ~ 170 students (as of February 2022).
- According to Jamie, the investment is approximately $4,000-5000/year.
- Click here to learn more about the PGX Consulting Confidence Academy.
- On the website, there is a free webinar, testimonials, and a link to schedule a call so that you can determine if the PGX Consulting Confidence Academy is right for you.
There’s a new podcaster on the block!
Jamie is the newest cohost of the PGX for Pharmacists Podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network. Todd Eury (Pharmacy Podcast Network Founder) invited Jamie to be a cohost. According to Jamie, PGX for Pharmacists Podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network is the 9th most downloaded genetics podcast in the world.
Jamie isn’t good at being grumpy.
Jamie has a positive attitude. She believes that it’s more fun to be happy than to be sad. There’s a smile in her voice.
Moms are amazing!
“If you want to get something done, ask a busy mom to do it, and they will get it done…and, they will do it efficiently!” Jamie has four boys under the age of 10. She’s busy and only has time to work on what is important and will move her forward. She doesn’t have time to procrastinate or be a perfectionist. She runs her life lean and doesn’t make excuses.
Finding balance
At first, Jamie didn’t have systems and processes in place. To grow and get to where she is, she put in the time to figure out what worked for her. It led to more flexibility.
What advice would you give yourself 9-10 years ago as you were working full-time as a staff pharmacist in a large chain retail setting?
- Start putting your voice out there.
- Start sharing your thoughts and value with the world. Ex: Create a blog.
- It’s easy to pour your whole self into job or family. Put time aside for yourself, who you are, and what you love.
Speaking engagements
If you’re interested in inviting Dr. Jamie Wilkey to speak at a conference or event, contact her via LinkedIn. Jamie cares about expanding the pharmacy profession’s reach and empowering women.

Highlights from the interview
Mariam and I met on LinkedIn. What interested me most about her is that she is pursuing dual degrees: PharmD and MS PGX.
How did Mariam hear about the dual degree program at Manchester University College of Pharmacy?
Mariam learned about it in her P1 year at Manchester. She was interested in the potential advantages a dual degree offered.
How do PharmD/MS PGX dual degree students fit all their coursework in?
Summer classes after P1, P2, and P3 years.
Can Post-Baccalaureate students (like me!) also enroll in the MS PGX Program?
Yes!
Growing up with Pharmacogenomics
In addition to her MS PGX coursework, some PGX is also taught in her PharmD academics. To her, pharmacogenomics has always been part of her formal education. As a 2001, BS Pharm graduate, I had a much different experience. I learned about PGX well after graduation (through CE), but Mariam is “growing up” with it.
P4 Rotations in a dual degree program
Mariam is completing ten rotations. Each is 4 weeks long. 2 PGX-based rotations (8 weeks in total) are required for her MS PGX Degree. They also count toward her PharmD Degree. Mariam worked at Patients Choice Laboratories in Indianapolis, IN for 8 weeks. Among other duties, she completed hands-on tasks, such as processing patient samples, genotyping, putting information into translation software, interacting with healthcare providers over the phone, and generating reports for patients and healthcare professionals.
Who trained Mariam during her rotations?
Scientists (Foreign Pharmacy Grads) with MS PGX Degrees from Manchester University.
Favorite part of the 8-week PGX rotation
Reading, interpreting, and comparing PGX test results. Applying the information to drug selection.
Once-in-a-lifetime report
According to Mariam, your genes will never change. PGX information can be used to select drug therapy for a patient’s entire life. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime report. One day, carrying around PGX information will become as essential to healthcare as carrying around a medication list.
Why did Mariam choose pharmacy school?
“Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.” Mariam’s father emphasized pursuing dreams and education while remaining humble. She credits him with nurturing a love of science and medicine in her everyday life. He was a pharmacist overseas, but he did not pursue his pharmacist license after immigrating to the US. Mariam is a first generation American. She was born and raised in Dearborn, MI. Both of Mariam’s parents emigrated from the Middle East in the 1990’s.
What’s next for Mariam?
Mariam is interested in becoming an entrepreneur or CEO in the PGX space. She also has her sights on clinical pharmacy practice upon graduation.
Steps to achieving goals and landing a dream job
Mariam believes that hard work, dedication, consistency, mindset (“rejection = redirection”), and a supportive network will help her achieve her goals and land her dream job.
Words of inspiration from Mariam
It’s never too late to start your journey. Go after your dreams. You should never settle for a life you don’t want because you’re afraid to go after the life that you deserve.

Highlights from the interview
How did Sue get into PGX?
It started with clopidogrel. Sue has experience in a number of settings: community practice, nursing homes, and hospital. While working in an outpatient pharmacy doing a “meds to beds program,” Sue noticed that cardiologists were prescribing P2Y12 inhibitors for patients post stent-placement. The patients had expensive copays. “Why not use clopidogrel?” Sue thought. She researched why and found that clopidogrel is a prodrug. According to Sue, ~30% of the population can’t metabolize clopidogrel to its active form. Cardiologists selected other options to avoid a clogged stent.
How did Sue learn about PGX?
When Sue started, she was self-taught. She learned about PGX from free resources ~ 2013-2014. She continued to learn online from the PharmGenEd™️ Program at UCSD (University of California San Diego). Her first official certificate training was at the Test2Learn™️ inaugural event (University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy), months after incorporating PGX into practice.
Sue founded a non-dispensing pharmacy business called SyneRxgy (pronounced si·nr·jee). Through SyneRxgy and working with a primary care office (via contract), Sue saw a lot of mental health issues. She pitched PGX to the practice. They were interested. She found labs that could serve her patients well and was able to get started serving patients with PGX about 4 months after joining the practice.
Filling in the gaps
Part of entrepreneurship is getting curious about something and figuring it out. Sue saw gaps in her PGX education, namely implementation. She learned how to implement PGX in her practice as an entrepreneur. PGX 101 trainings “fill in the gaps” Sue experienced.
PGX101
98% of PGX101 students complete the course.
12 hours of home study
8 hours of live training
$497 investment/20 ACPE accredited continuing education credit hours
Registration deadline for the next training is February 12, 2022, because the 12-hour, self-paced part must be completed before February 26. Sue recommends breaking the 12-hours up into bite-sized chunks of 2 hours each. The LIVE online training is February 26 and 27. The next online training is April 23 and 24, 2022. Visit https://www.pgx101.com for more information.
Are all PGX101 students pharmacists?
No. Most have been pharmacists or pharmacy students, but there has also been an oncologist, some genetic counselors, and a handful of nurse practitioners.
PGX201
After PGX101 training is complete, if students want a deeper dive into PGX and implementation, they can goin the PGX201 Community. To learn more, visit https://www.pgx101.com.
$297/3 months (renewable membership) or
$998/12 months
How does Sue get paid?
Sue gets paid a daily rate by the practice she works for. Sue’s home patients, on the other hand, are cash-based.
Success stories
Sue told several stories about how she has made a difference in the lives of her patients. PGX and home-visit stories were both shared.
Sue’s advice for pharmacist Moms
Sue had 4 kids in 5 years. They are all adults now. “There’s no better reward than investing in your kids. Do what you need to do to be able to do that.”
Strength in numbers
How do we get more PGX-trained pharmacists in doctor’s offices? PGX101 trainings are part of the solution. PGX Pharmacists adding more PGX pharmacists to their practices will also help.
Making a connection
Is there a way to connect prescribers with PGX-trained pharmacists? Carol Bell, PharmD (KY Pharmacist) started a PGX Pharmacists registry and is passing it along to Sue Paul and Dan Krinsky. Look for the registry to be available later this year (2022).
Referrals from other pharmacists
How can a non-PGX pharmacist refer a patient to a PGX pharmacist? It’s simple, just reach out to a pharmacist who is doing PGX. If they can’t help you, they may know someone who can.
Medipreneurs
Sue Paul, Dr. Anna Garrett, and Michelle Fritsch, PharmD cofounded Medipreneurs to support and encourage healthcare entrepreneurs. Medipreneurs is celebrating their 5th year in 2022. The annual conference is August 26-28 in Cincinnati, OH. Sue is on the Board of Advisors.
LinkedIn is the best way to connect with Sue.

Highlights from the interview
Dan and I met at Medipreneurs in Asheville, NC. We have a mutual acquaintance: my Uncle Tom Titkemeier (see The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast Episode 3). Dan was one of Uncle Tom and Aunt Janet’s interns at St. V’s in Toledo while attending pharmacy school at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy.
We discussed the chronological progression of Dan’s career. Why did Dan pick pharmacy school? His Dad’s best friend was a community pharmacist. Dan wanted to go into healthcare and own his own business, so he decided to go to pharmacy school.
Dan went to grad school at UT. He got a MS Degree in Hospital Pharmacy. The focus was on teaching and research.
After graduating from UT with his MS Degree, Dan left Toledo for a job developing clinical services in NC. It didn’t work out. He moved on to another job, which he discovered by searching the “Help Wanted” ads in AJHP (American Journal of Hospital Pharmacy). A position for a clinical coordinator for the pharmacokinetics service at the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham was advertised. Although Dan felt unqualified, he ended up joining the Drug Resource Team at the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham as the coordinator for the pharmacokinetics service. He expanded the volume of consults the role formerly served. Dan also taught Auburn Pharmacy Students. It was a good experience, but he was on-call all the time. The stress and time commitment weren’t right for him and his family, so he and his family moved back to Ohio.
Dan then worked for Kaiser Permanente and made his first connection to Lexicomp while there. Lexicomp has been part of Dan’s life ever since.
In the mid 1990’s, Dan became the 1st pharmacist in the US to hold a shared position with a college of pharmacy and a community pharmacy: Ohio Northern University College (ONU) of Pharmacy and Ritzman Pharmacy. Dan provided MTM services at Ritzman’s before MTM had a name! Since his time at ONU, Dan has helped NACDS replicate the shared position he had at ONU. Today, there are hundreds of shared positions in the US.
Dan co-authored 2 books on natural products for Lexicomp. They are
- Natural Therapeutics Pocket Guide
- Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook
Dan left Ritzman’s Pharmacy and went to work at Lexicomp. Lexicomp felt like a family. It had a great company culture with company outings to Cedar Point and more.
Dan developed a RX Wiki resource.
Dan held a shared faculty position with NEOMED and Giant Eagle. When Dan left that position, he could have retired, but he didn’t! Instead, he co-founded PGX101 and founded EduCare4U.
How did Dan get into PGX? He took the Test2Learn™️ Train the Trainer PGX Course so he could develop a PGX elective course at NEOMED and incorporate PGX into therapeutics models. The Test2Learn™️ program was developed in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh and NACDS (National Association of Chain Drug Stores). According to Dan, The University of Pittsburgh is a national leader in PGX research and practice. What came out of it was meeting Sue Paul, RPh and later spreading the word about PGX to the pharmacy profession to improve the care pharmacists provide to patients. Sue Paul, RPh and Dan Krinsky train pharmacists on PGX. They update the PGX101 program every time they deliver it.
The profession of pharmacy has given so much to Dan that he wants to give something back. Education is one way to give back and pay it forward.
Being good listeners (a sounding board for patients) allows us to find out how we can help our patients. Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare providers and the most knowledgeable on drug therapies and deprescribing.
Dan shared a story about visiting a patient at home. Dan said, “Home visits are eye-opening. You learn about your patients.” We talked about tools to help patients help themselves, such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Pharmacogenomics in Dan’s own words: Applying a patient’s genetic make-up to current and future drug therapies. PGX is a tool that can lead to better outcomes.
How do PGX101 students find out about the program? LinkedIn, networking, podcasts, conferences (Medipreneurs), and organizations (APhA and OPA).
Is PGX 101 in-person or online? It is only online using Zoom (as of January 2022). There are two components: 15 modules for 12 hours of CE. 8 hours of live programming: 4 hours on Saturday, 4 hours on Sunday. To learn more, visit PGX101 online.
How much does PGX101 cost? $495 for all 20 hours. Consider it an investment in education.
PGX201 is a growing community “Beyond the Certificate.” Membership is 3 months or 12 months. Benefits include monthly webinars and newsletters, one-on-one consultations with Sue Paul and Dan Krinsky, guest speakers, and more.
Carol Bell, PharmD (KY Pharmacist) is working on a PGX Pharmacists Registry.
According to Dan, a Kentucky teacher’s retirement program provides PGX testing as a benefit for their plan. The ROI has been demonstrated in the form of direct economic benefits. This can serve as a model for other organizations to follow. I suggested that this is a “bright spot” ala the book Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath.
EduCare4U is the umbrella company for all the services Dan offers. Examples:
- Individual consultations with patients, some of whom have PGX testing.
- Writing. For example, a monthly column for Pharmacy Today on self-care and OTC’s.
- Consulting. For example: monograph reviews for Lexicomp.
- Surgery center inspections
- Expert witness for attorneys
- Part-time work in two pharmacies in his area
- Guest lecturer at the Palm Beach Atlantic University Gregory School of Pharmacy
We spoke about Dan’s expert witness role. The first time he served this role was early in his career while working in Alabama. The first attorney Dan helped recommended Dan do more expert witness work. Dan told a story about an intense deposition that took hours.
Dan serves as a pharmacist on medical mission trips to Honduras each year with his local Catholic Church. He has been doing it for 17 years, and he loves it. Dan got started with his mission work by covering for a pharmacist who got sick and had to drop out of the trip.
Who was on the Mission Trip? High school students who serve as Spanish-language interpreters, doctors, dentists, nurses, optometrists, pharmacists, and others who want to serve. They see 3,000-4,000 patients in one week and dispense 15,000-20,000 prescriptions.
Dan gave advice for Pharmacist Dads: Have a career, but be present for family. Always prioritize your family first. Dan wanted to be present for milestones, coaching his kids, attending events, going on vacations, and taking his wife out for their anniversary. “You never get those moments back.” Dan said, “Career is important, but pharmacy will always be there.”

I’m celebrating 2 full years in podcasting today (January 21, 2022). If you’re new to the show, WELCOME! This is a great episode to start with! In this episode, I share a little bit about me, some history about this podcast (when and why I started it, who it’s for, and what I want listeners to do with the information), some of the struggles I’ve worked through in the first two years of the podcast, and what’s coming up as I begin my third year in podcasting.

NaPodPoMo = National Podcast Post Month (an annual challenge in November)
Highlights from the episode
I am a pharmacist, voice actor, podcast host, wife, mom of 2 teenaged boys, and a volunteer.
Why did I start a podcast? I started The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast for three reasons: Dr. Erin L. Albert suggested I look into starting a podcast; the podcast works as a branding tool; and the podcast helps me network.
Who is my intended audience? Pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and voice actors in the medical space.
What do I want you to do with the information in this podcast? The number one thing I want you to do is BE INSPIRED TO USE YOUR VOICE! That means, I want you to feel inspired to use your expertise/your passion for something that you feel is worthwhile. Please note that I am not the voice of the pharmacy profession. This podcast is not about me trying to position myself as the voice of the pharmacy profession. I want to inspire people to use their voices.
The 4 main things I struggle with are carrying the conversation all by myself on solo shows (because I’m a reactor, not a generator), finding time to podcast, audio engineering, and voice issues, like muscle tension dysphonia and losing my voice after a cold.
Coming up in 2022, I will continue to publish one episode/week. There will be solo shows and interview shows. I plan to do more series, and I hope to participate in NaPodPoMo.

Highlights from the interview
How did Maria get started in writing?
While a community pharmacist, she created patient-friendly resources. Then, she became a part-time freelance medical writer. As her writing career progressed, she became a full-time writer.
Advice Maria gives pharmacists she speaks to who are interested in medical writing:
Don’t underestimate the experience you already have. As a pharmacist, you already have a great foundation for your ability to write.
Her favorite topic to write about is mental health. She likes making an impact on others.
Maria shared her experience with freelance writing websites. It was an entry point at one time that led to more clients and word-of-mouth referrals.
Maria has experience creating CME (continuing medical education) on a range of topics, including hypertension, diabetes, lifestyle modification, osteoporosis, breast cancer screening, and mental health resilience. Her content can be found on websites, in presentations, and on social media.
Many US Veterans suffer from loneliness. It is important to acknowledge Veterans in public, ask how they are doing, and thank them for their service. My Dad (Kim’s Dad) is a combat Veteran. See the images of Veterans wearing special hats in the show notes (blogpost) for episode 131 on thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.
Maria and her daughter Juliana Grace wrote a book together. It’s called Finny’s Greatest Discovery. The messages in the book can start a conversation with a child about being different, bullying, and self-worth. It is written in kid-friendly language. My favorite sentence is, “He was wonderfully made.”
Maria and Juliana Grace are working on a second book about good deeds multiplying and making the world a better place. Goal completion date is summer 2022.
Maria also used her voice to create a poison prevention program for children with autism. Maria encourages pharmacists to create/deliver poison prevention lessons at schools and provide students with poison prevention stickers and the Poison Help Line Number 1-800-222-1222. Don’t underestimate the value of just showing up to a school to give a presentation. You could save a life!

- Nobody is coming to save you. Get up. Be your own hero, and be your patient’s guide.

Highlights from the interview
As a writer in a public health setting early in her career, Megan learned how to massage information to make it more digestible and actionable for the general public.
Information impacts behavior. Misinformation has an impact on the health of communities. Relevant and accurate information helps people live healthier lives.
We talked about Megan’s writing style as a health content writer. Writing style can take time to develop. You will learn what comes easily or is difficult through practice. You must practice to figure it out.
It’s harder to write a piece that’s not in your area of expertise. It’s “a heavier lift.” You need to find your niche so it’s easy to write. It’s hard to scale a business writing for clients who aren’t a good match for your skills. Find a lane you feel comfortable in and that feels natural to you so you can maximize your expertise and your impact in that lane.
Megan shared two stories about how feedback on her writing influenced her. Feedback can help a writer find the right clients.
Who are Megan’s ideal clients? Either digital health companies or innovative health companies, especially those who have either primarily black audiences or have a segment of their audience who is black. Megan likes working with clients who are specific about their audience and the types of actions or behaviors they are trying to stimulate.
There’s always room for a new perspective in the writing community. All of our perspectives are different. There are people out there who share your perspective and will be maximally impacted because they share your perspective. You will perform your best when you are writing for an audience you can relate to or that you’re passionate about or have expertise in.
Megan is a Health Content Writing Coach. Her program is called Health Professionals to Health Writers. You can find it linked to her profile on LinkedIn (as of December 2021). Her YouTube Channel is also called Health Writing For Health Professionals; it includes videos on Wednesdays: tips for getting started in health content writing and lessons Megan has learned along the way.
Nontraditional pharmacists need to share what they do so that other pharmacists feel inspired to use their pharmacist identity and skills to do something nontraditional too. We talked about how imposter syndrome can make it tough to “toot our horns.”
Megan is bilingual. She speaks Spanish and English. During her career as a pharmacist, she worked for an MTM company who needed a Spanish-speaking pharmacist consultant to help Spanish-speaking patients.
We concluded the interview with six questions for Megan:
- What are some pitfalls about content strategy creation?
- How can a writer address health literacy in consumer-facing content without being patronizing?
- How do you like the research part of being a writer?
- What’s your favorite part of being a writer?
- What are some challenges you face?
- What are some tools and resources you use?

Highlights from the interview
Brittany was on maternity leave at the time we recorded our interview. We chatted about motherhood.
Brittany uses her voice as a medical writer. She has her own style. Her work is fair, balanced, and unbiased. When crafting a piece, she keeps the audience and the goal of the piece in mind.
Medical content can be boring, so it needs to be short, engaging, and understandable. Brittany and her team tailor to busy medical professionals.
According to Brittany, medical writing is a three billion dollar industry. It includes topics such as medicine, regulatory matters, continuing medical education (CME), consumer-facing education, blogs, and more. Because there are many opportunities to carve out a niche, each writer can use his/her zone of genius to be successful.
Banner Medical has 3 focus areas:
- CME (They are experts in developing needs assessments.)
- Blogging/consumer health space
- Scientific, academic space
Brittany uses her voice to advocate for the profession of pharmacy. She is on the Board for the Illinois Pharmacists Association. She feels it’s important to give back and help the profession.
Brittany loves her team of pharmacist writers. She started as a freelance medical writer in 2015. Now, Banner Medical has more than 20 pharmacist writers. She plans to hire more writers soon. The business is growing fast, and there is a good diversity of writing styles among her team members.
As an entrepreneur, she had to get comfortable making tough decisions and spotting what is working and what’s not working. She decides what works and what doesn’t.
Brittany has two online courses
- Medical Writing Jumpstart (NEW in 2022 for pharmacists who want to explore medical writing but aren’t sure if it’s for them. Shorter, less expensive course. )
- Medical Writing Mastery (Longer, more expensive course)
Brittany advocates for women. She feels that is it important for women pharmacists to support and uplift one another. She recommends women pharmacists join Chara Reid-Reed’s Pharmacist Women Facebook Group.
We talked about how having a baby will change things. Brittany will lean more on her team, delegate tasks, set boundaries, and work through it.
There are no guarantees in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are risk-takers, and they work through things when they don’t go the way you want them to go. Highlight reels don’t show the difficult times. Surround yourself with people who can help you figure stuff out. There’s blood, sweat, and tears in building a business.
Imposter syndrome is normal among entrepreneurs. It’s important entrepreneurs normalize imposter syndrome and talk about moving past it. When it comes to medical writing, own what you have earned! You are enough. You don’t need “all the things” (certifications) in order to have value. Pharmacists can be successful writers NOW. You have everything you need to get started. You can get polished as you go along.
Brittany piqued my interest in becoming a medical writer. Medical writing has become more mainstream over the last 5 years. I’m good at writing show notes for podcasts, but I’d like to learn how to do more!
Being good at something and wanting to launch a business providing that service isn’t enough. You also need to solve somebody’s problem or provide a service that makes someone’s life easier. Brittany knows many people don’t like to write and they’re not good at it. She’s good at writing and likes to do it. Therefore, she is selling the solution to their problems. That’s why she is successful!
Brittany was a coaching client of Dr. Alex Barker, Founder of The Happy PharmD and now coaches with Joy Bufalini (Simplify to Multiply®). Brittany feels that coaching has value whether you have a business or not. Find the right coach for you: someone who will challenge you to grow. In Brittany’s case, coaching with Alex Barker was the best investment she ever made in herself. Her company’s revenue grew after working with Alex, and it continues to grow. Brittany is working with Joy Bufalini to further grow her business. Other coaches for pharmacists that Brittany mentioned [that she has not worked with] are Dr. Christina Fontana and Dr. Jerrica Dodd.
Referrals help grow businesses. Alex Barker sometimes refers The Happy PharmD clients to Brittany’s Medical Writing Mastery course, and Brittany refers writers to The Happy PharmD.
Building relationships is important and goes beyond the transactional part of a business. Give something first before asking for something when you network. Ex: on LinkedIn. Let people know who you are and why you want to connect.
Not every potential client is right for you. Low-ball offers aren’t fair. You need to build relationships with people who will pay you what your work is worth.
Negotiating rates for yourself takes self-advocacy, especially for women. You have to advocate for/ask for what your work is worth. There’s a fine line between charging too little and not being taken seriously and overcharging and losing out on jobs. The right client will pay you fairly. It’s ok to walk away from clients who don’t pay fairly. Experience and quality are important. Clients want jobs done right. They get what they pay for.
Negotiation is a learned skill, and it takes time to get comfortable with it. Re-negotiating happens. Ex: It took more time to do the job than originally expected.
Brittany was robbed in 2019, and it traumatized her. She had feelings to process and got help. Many people avoid seeking help with anything, but it is needed. Brittany advocates for Illinois legislation to punish violence against healthcare providers.
I asked what to say to someone who has been in a robbery. Brittany said, “Just be there for them.” Hold back the knee-jerk reaction, which is “I’m sorry.” Instead, give them what would be helpful. That could be a hug (with permission!). Let the victim think or feel the way they need to feel regardless of how it makes you feel.
On a positive note, Brittany is writing a book about her IVF journey. Content will include hormone levels, reproductive endocrinologists, medical reasons that infertility happens, costs, the black market for fertility drugs, how to correctly administer injectable medications, the roller coaster of emotions an IVF journey can bring, secondary infertility, and more. She had to give birth in order to finish the book. Now that her son has arrived, she will finish the book in 2022.

Highlights
I was inspired to talk about how long it takes to create a podcast episode from idea to published (and does it really need to take that long?) for two reasons:
- At the Medipreneurs Conference in October 2021, I was asked how long it takes to publish a podcast episode. During this episode, I also talk about the ROI of my podcast episodes because someone asked me that question too. Long story short, the return on investment is PRICELESS! The connections I make and the relationships I build have no monetary value. My podcast is a business tool. I use it for branding and networking. The integrity I show by publishing an episode each week has value to others. If you’re interested in learning more about monetizing a podcast, I recommend you read the book Profit from Your Podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood by Dave Jackson.
- My podcasting coach (Dave Jackson) asked me a similar question in November. Each month, Dave has a question of the month on the School of Podcasting Podcast. His podcast listeners and his School of Podcasting students (like me!) are invited to respond. Responses are published on The School of Podcasting Podcast the last Monday of each month. The November 2021 question of the month was, “How long does it take you to create a podcast episode from idea to published?” I answered the question and my response was included in episode 803 of The School of Podcasting on November 29, 2021. Listening to other podcasters explain their methods and numbers in that episode was eye-opening and made me realize how different we all are.
Sometimes, I talk about being a pharmacist podcaster on this podcast. This is one of those episodes! 5 other episodes where I talk about podcasting:
- Episode 24 Why I started a podcast (Jun 26, 2020)
- Episode 69 Are you in the market for a microphone for podcasting, pod-guesting, or online meetings? (Nov 28, 2020)
- Episode 92 Online courses for VO and podcasting beginners and 7 audio recording software options (Apr 16, 2021)
- Episode 104 Noises I struggle with and how I handle them (July 9, 2021)
- Episode 110 10 best practices for podcast guests (August 20, 2021)
My typical solo show is 8-17 minutes. It takes at least 3 hours to create from idea to published.
My typical interview show is between 45-60 minutes. It takes at least 4.5 hours to create (from idea to published).
I’ve been podcasting for more than 2 years, and I have published more than 120 episodes. In the beginning, it definitely took longer to create an episode than it takes now. I don’t sit down and do the whole thing at once. My brain just doesn’t work that way. Podcasting is creative, and creativity can’t be rushed!
I’ll admit that I have never tracked how long it truly takes to go from idea to published. I explain my numbers (3-4.5) hours during this episode. It takes time to create each of the four core elements to each podcast episode: an .mp3 file, written details (show notes, episode title, and episode number), episode artwork, and a release date/time.
Uploading everything to Libsyn takes about 10 minutes. Adding the podcast to my website takes another 10 minutes.
There are many unspoken things that go into making a podcast episode that I didn’t mention, like scheduling guests and daydreaming about podcasting while I’m folding laundry. If I kept track of all the time I spend on my podcast, it would probably add up to more than 3-4.5 hours. The important thing is that 3-4.5 hours is in the ballpark. It’s more important (to me) to get the podcast right than it is to get the time I put into it the podcast right. I don’t clock out when I reach 3 hours for a solo episode or 4.5 hours for an interview show. That wouldn’t make sense. However much time it takes is what I put into it.
When adding it up, I wasn’t sure if I should include how much time it takes to come up with my social media posts for each episode and how long it takes to post them. That takes time too. Maybe 10 minutes to write something and 20 minutes to post on 5 different platforms: LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and RPhAlly.com.
Does it really need to take THAT LONG? No, it doesn’t. Everyone is different. Some people are faster. Some are slower. Some people do nothing but interview shows and contract out the details. I recently encountered at least one business who would be happy to take your Zoom-generated interview and turn it into a podcast. Contact me for a referral.
I know I could hire someone to do it for me, but I don’t. If I didn’t produce each episode myself, I would miss out on those pearls of wisdom I gain from listening to all my podcast interviews a second time. Writing the highlights for the show notes even has some value. It ingrains in my mind who this person I interviewed is and how he or she uses their voice. I also find it personally satisfying to see how efficiently I can create an episode.
In conclusion, it takes me at least 3 hours to create a solo episode and 4.5 hours to create an interview episode. It doesn’t have to take that long…but most of the time, it does!

She currently serves as the Chief Content Officer of The Happy PharmD as well as a Medical Resource Manager for Continuing Medical Education Outfitters, which is a division of Knowfully Learning Group. She is passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and loves to speak and write about these topics. As a publisher, Janan spent 7 years working at the American Pharmacists Association working in nonprofit print and digital book publishing for pharmacists and she has now taken those skills to her new independent book publishing company that publishes children’s books, healthcare content, and cookbooks that cultivate and celebrate diversity and representation from around the world.

Dr. Janan Sarwar and I met at the October 2021 Medipreneurs Summit in Cincinnati, OH. Janan found out about Medipreneurs from someone who worked with Medipreneurs Co-Founder Dr. Michelle Fritsch on her book Preventive Maintenance for a High Mileage Life (Kindle Version).
How does Janan use her voice as an advocate? Janan advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from a healthcare perspective: research (clinical trials), underserved patients, marginalized patients, and also advocates children understanding diversity in terms of, “What is diversity?” DEI exists in many forms: age, gender, ethnicity, geography, physical ability, unseen abilities, and religious beliefs. Children learn from others. We can all learn from others.
How did Janan learn about diversity in clinical trials? Janan looks at the patient population studied in a clinical trial compared to those in the real world who have the condition. Ex: Black women and breast cancer. Diversity may be affected by the ability to take time away from work, transportation, and other factors. Inclusion in trials can affect health beliefs, willingness to take medications, and openness with healthcare providers.
Janan is writing a children’s story about DEI. It’s about baking cookies with her daughters. The sugar got left out of the cookie dough. After the cookies were baked, icing and sprinkles were used to sweeten the cookies. This is how Janan sees DEI in the world. Diversity is missing form the recipe. We need DEI in decision-making from the start. She thinks we are moving in the right direction with getting the sugar in from the start.
Janan’s career has been in book-publishing. She likes the idea of “windows” and “mirrors” in children’s books. A window book lets us see something that’s outside. Ex: fantasy, another culture, another world. A mirror book is something you read because you “see yourself” in it. Ex: an issue you’re dealing with.
A 2017 study showed that <7% of children’s books were about people of color, neurodiversity, etc. There’s been a gap in the market. The nonprofit organization We Need Diverse Books is trying to publish mirror and window books with greater diversity, equity, and inclusion. Caucasian children need more window books. People of color need more mirror books.
It’s very important to read books that are both windows and mirrors; they make children want to read more. Books can also impact career paths.
Janan’s Independent Book publishing company is called Global Bookshelves International. The books she wants to publish are the English-language version of already-published books from around the world. They are both windows and mirrors. Ex: from Singapore.
Because of her daughter Leena’s podcast (Salaam Storytime), Janan has connected with publishers and people who have created diverse books. She’s bringing their content to North American and selling it here. If you’re interested in writing a book in one of 3 areas, contact Janan at globalbookshelves@gmail.com:
- Children’s books
- Healthcare books
- Cookbooks
Leena’s podcast was created because she wanted to spend more time with Janan. 6-year-old Leena chooses and reads books that she has permission from the author and the publisher to read. They have guest readers too. Stories will be available to purchase at Global Bookshelves International. Leena wanted to read stories from her bookshelves at home, which represent voices and diversity from around the world. They are picture books for young children ages 0-6 years.
Books in print are important. They teach patience, provide tactile experiences, and build relationships with the person who is reading.
Janan would like to speak on a TedX talk some day about “We can change the world by reading books to children.”
How does Janan use her voice as an educator? Coaching and publishing.
Janan was in textbook publishing. She has published more than 30 books. Now, she is in the CME space. Janan considers how learners want to receive the information. She gives the reader what they need to learn in less time. She learned the science of how people learn during her Fellowship in Educational Technology, Research, and Development.
As a coach, Janan listens to coaching clients and reflects back what there’e good at. She helps pharmacists see their windows of opportunity. She works with clients through The Happy PharmD. Some people want to advance their career, find a part-time side hustle, start a business, or find a new job. Career coaching brings clarity, improves mindset, develops a strategy, clarifies a pharmacist’s “why,” gets rid of imposter syndrome, and builds confidence over 3 months. 90% is “inner” work. 10% is finding a job.
Janan mentioned two coaching success stories. One was a burned out woman pharmacist who became a medical writer. Another story featured a man named Sam who was in an independent pharmacy setting. He made the transition to consulting. Both are happier now. Do you want to try working with a career coach? Visit the https://thehappypharmd.com.
How does Janan use her voice as a writer?
She is employed as a writer. She creates videos or presentations that will be delivered in-person by healthcare providers of all kinds. The name of the company is CME Outfitters. It is a subsidiary of Knowfully Learning Group. Janan says she stumbled into writing by accident. She’s a storyteller. Janan also writes articles for GoodRX for consumers. Ex: pets and medicine.
Janan is the Chief Content Officer of The Happy PharmD. The Happy PharmD Founder Alex Barker and Janan are co-writing a book called Potential about career paths. Watch for that to be published in 2022.
Fortunately, there are no conflicts of interest among all her different professional pursuits!
As we wrapped up, Janan proposed creating a podcast that brings to light disease states in populations that aren’t talked about enough. Length would be 5 minutes (short, bite-sized chunks).

Dr. Renu Lal’s path from pharmacy school to the U.S. Public Health Service was not a direct one. She earned her BS Degree in Pharmacy from UCONN in 1998. Then, she earned her Post-Bac PharmD from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 2000. Renu did not know what she wanted to do with her PharmD when she graduated. According to Renu, “It’s ok to not know and make it up as you go along.” She spent time in community practice as a floater, then entered the U.S. PHS. Her PHS service was interrupted briefly when she left PHS to join a clinical regulatory team at Genentech in San Francisco, CA. When that role ended, she rejoined PHS. As of October 2021, her total service time is approximately 10 years.
While in her undergrad program at UCONN, Renu learned about PHS. A speaker from the Indian Health Service spoke to her class. After finishing her BS Degree in Pharmacy, Renu joined the U.S. PHS as a JRCOSTEP and completed a paid, 4-month rotation at a Psych Hospital in SE DC called St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. She loved the experience and thought it was amazing!
Students can join either the JRCOSTEP Program or the SRCOSTEP Program. Both are paid positions with benefits. Visit https://www.usphs.gov/students/ to learn more.
During our conversation, I talked about my experience with PHS at the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I did an 8-week rotation at FCI Milan during the last semester of my BS Pharm Degree program at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy in 2001. My pharmacist in charge was creative and resourceful, and she did amazing things with a small formulary. I learned a lot from her and that experience. I wanted to join the Navy upon graduation, but I was medically disqualified due to asthma.
The United States Public Health Service (U.S. PHS) is led by the Surgeon General of the U.S. and is more than 200 years old. It is one of eight uniformed services and is the only one dedicated solely to protecting and advancing America’s Public Health. As a U.S. PHS Officer, Renu is first in line to defend America from public health threats, including deploying for public health emergencies. She has deployed many times and provided essential healthcare to underserved and vulnerable populations. The U.S. Public Health Service used to be “pharmacy’s best kept secret,” but that’s not true anymore because PHS has played a prominent role in response to COVID.
As a PHS Officer, there is an opportunity to serve in many HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) agencies. Examples include IHS (Indian Health Service), BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons), NIH (National Institutes of Health), CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), and others. Being an Officer makes it easy to transfer among agencies.
According to Renu, PHS Officer benefits are great! They are on the military pay scale with paid vacation, retirement benefits (with minimum of 20 years of service), medical benefits, the GI Bill and more. To learn more about age restrictions and eligibility requirements to serve, visit https://www.usphs.gov.

Highlights from the interview
Dr. Michelle Fritsch’s Businesses:
- Retirement Wellness Strategies. Meds MASH has been wrapped into that.
- Medipreneurs
- PROPEL Comprehensive Wellness (coming soon!)
Retirement Wellness Strategies came out of an identified need after years of practice. Michelle’s background is geriatrics and academia. She wanted to work with patients in “early geriatrics:” age 55-70. She wants to help them define a plan for long-term health so that when they retire, those are fulfilled, active, vital years instead of having a big health decline and surviving. The health decline that occurs at retirement/upon reaching geriatrics is preventable.
Why the name Meds MASH? “Meds” because she’s a pharmacist. MASH stands for “Mature Adults Safe at Home.” Baby Boomers don’t like labels, like “Mature” or “Geriatric,” but the literature says “geriatric” is >65 years old.
Retirement Wellness Solutions is a planning process. Financial Planners and Estate Planning attorneys serve the same population.
Don’t call Michelle the day you retire. Call her years in advance to develop a strategy! A strategic plan includes the patient’s long-term health in 4 key areas: purpose, activity, prevention, and health information.
During our interview, Michelle told several success stories, including one about a client who was resistant to even the first 15-minute consultation. By the 5th visit, the length of the visit was 60 minutes, and the client looked forward to the discussions. Some clients have moved up their retirement because they are excited about how clear they can picture it and how it will be. They can’t wait to get started!
What are some challenges Michelle’s clients face?
- Licensed professionals find it difficult to walk away from their credentials at retirement.
- Selling a business and walking away from it can be a big life event for business founders.
- Mental health is fragile for some executives who experience loneliness, despair, and anger when they retire.
- The suicide rate in the 55-75 age-range is rising. That may be preventable. More men than women in the 55-75 year-old age group commit suicide.
- The divorce rate among 55-75 year-olds is also going up. When couples talk before retirement about their differences and how they may have grown apart during their working years, it helps plan for the future.
Who does Michelle work with? Michelle helps men and women. She loves helping couples who plan together. Her “why” comes from the experience of knowing that skilled executives retire to binge Netflix. If Michelle can instead influence them to use their passion, skills, knowledge, and influence for whatever excites them in what comes next, she has exponentially multiplied the impact that enhancing their health can have.
Michelle wrote a book titled, “Preventive Maintenance for a High Mileage Life.” It’s about strategically thinking about and managing your mental health, emotional health, spiritual health, and social health. You can find it on amazon.com.
Medipreneurs was co-founded by Sue Paul, RPh; Anna Garrett, PharmD; and Michelle Fritsch, PharmD. They helped one another develop their businesses. Medipreneurs supports healthcare entrepreneurs who are pursuing their entrepreneurial passions.
I have been to the 2018, 2019, and 2021 Medipreneurs Summits. I loved them all. The Founders and Summit participants helped me funnel my business ideas down to one. This year (2021), I got the idea for a side business.
Entrepreneurs need coaches. Michelle started working with coaches when she worked in academia. As she has matured as an entrepreneur, her coaching needs have changed. She says, “You learn as you go.” Entrepreneurs are continuous learners.
A challenge Michelle faces is that she can only help so many people one-on-one. 15,000 people turn 65 every day. There is a market filled with people who need to plan for the future!
What’s next for Michelle? PROPEL Comprehensive Wellness! Retirement Wellness Solutions has a one-on-one business model. Propel Comprehensive Wellness will be a “one-to-many” business model. Michelle’s friend is an Aging Life Care Manager. She and Michelle created PROPEL Comprehensive Wellness together. Videos and workbooks will be launched in the next few months. PROPEL stands for Powerful Retirement Options for a Purpose-filled, Engaged Life. As of October 2021, Propel is not on the market yet.

Today’s episode is the third (and final) part of my pharmacy podcasts series. Part one was an introduction to the series, including the definition of a pharmacy podcast and where to find them. Plus, part one featured a brief interview with fellow pharmacist podcaster Dr. Christina Madison, The Public Health Pharmacist. (That’s episode 118 if you want to check that out.) Then, Part 2 of the series featured a list of pharmacy podcasts I listen to most and why I listen to pharmacy podcasts. (That’s episode 119 if you want to check that one out as well.) Special Guest Todd Eury (Founder of The Pharmacy Podcast Network) joins me today for a discussion about why pharmacists should have a podcast. We’ll talk about what’s in it for the pharmacist hosting the podcast and what’s in it for the listener.
If you’re unfamiliar with Todd Eury, you’re in for a treat! He’s a Pittsburgh native who started the first podcast about the profession of Pharmacy in 2009. Today, the Pharmacy Podcast Network is the global leader in podcasting about the business and profession of pharmacy. Todd and I have been in touch for just about as long as I have been a podcaster, which is two years. He has been a cheerleader for me and all pharmacy podcasts, and that’s one of the reasons that he’s on the show today. As soon as he saw that I launched a series about pharmacy podcasts, he reached out and offered to help me with it. I’m so glad he did! His enthusiasm for pharmacy podcasts is unmatched, and there’s no one I would rather have hosted today’s discussion with. Thanks Todd!

Todd has been in pharmacy since 2004. He launched the first podcast about the pharmacy profession. Todd is the Founder of the Pharmacy Podcast Network (PPN). The network has more than 40 participating pharmacist podcasters. There are more than 1400 episodes as of October 2021. The network has around 82,000 listens per month. On average, PPN releases 6 podcasts per week and approximately 24 episodes per month.
As a non-pharmacist, Todd brings a different perspective to podcasting. He advocates for the pharmacist and using audio as a supplement to education.
I listen to shows on the Pharmacy Podcast Network. My favorite is Storrie with Dr. Christine Manukyan. Sometimes, I do research on my up-coming guests by listening to interviews on The Pharmacy Podcast Network.
Many podcasts published by pharmacists reach other pharmacists. Todd and I discussed how podcasts could also be patient-facing and used as a tool to build a relationship between the patient and the pharmacist. Community-facing podcasts could also create goodwill in the community. Topics could include community events, flu shot information, disease states, store hours, the history of the pharmacy, “meet the pharmacist(s) or tech(s)” episodes, and more!
Pharmacists learn from one another. If a pharmacist is interested in starting a podcast, they could listen to other podcasts published by pharmacists or the PPN to get ideas about starting their own.
We talked briefly about disclaimers pharmacists should consider using on podcasts.
According to Todd, podcasting allows you to build a very strong relationship with your audience very fast. Your voice means something to your audience. It’s different from writing. Audio is more personal. It can also be part of a pharmacist’s brand.
Todd said, “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.” Podcasting can be messy! We discussed how the first few episodes of a podcast are not as good as the 100th. You need to make mistakes and learn. I personally struggle with solo shows because I want to sound natural and conversational and avoid sounding boastful or clueless.
There are several podcast formats. “Journey style” is one of them. That’s what I use for my solo shows. I share what I have learned during my career transition from pharmacist to voice actor. In a journey-style podcast, you don’t need to know everything. Other formats include advice shows, interview shows, and panel discussions. Todd likes to include different formats on the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
Setting the expectation that podcast content will improve over time can help avoid perfectionism. Todd says, “Just jump in.” You will get better and feel more confident over time as you learn how to think on your feet. Podcasting develops communication skills that transfer to working one-on-one with patients, in a group, or at a conference.
Podcasting can supplement or build your mission. It depends on your goal (your why). Todd says that “Podcasting should supplement, enhance, and amplify a primary source of information.”
Podcasts build credibility, a listener base, and followers.
Podcasts can help students. Think, “audio cliff notes.” Students can share with other students. According to Todd, AudioRX.study is a supplement to learning, not a primary source of information.
People told me I should put my original content out there. I took that advice. I am now a podcaster and an online course creator. To learn more about my online course Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro ©, visit https://www.kimnewlove.com. You can sponsor your podcast with a product you create, such as an online course.
I talk about podcasting on my podcast. I used two examples. I have an episode about microphones and an episode about best practices for podcast guests. My show notes give a lot of value, including links for products.
Christina Madison, PharmD is fearless and a good role model for podcasters.
What’s in it for the listener? In short, different things from different podcasts. Many pharmacy podcasts are pharmacist-to-pharmacist. Show notes have information listeners may want. Some podcasts have raffles and give-aways (book give-aways, for example).
Podcast content is for the listener, not the podcaster. When done well, listeners will feel connected to the podcaster.
Every podcast should have a website so that the audience can connect with the podcaster. Suggestions, comments, guest nominations, etc. are all things listeners can reach out to podcasters about. Survey feedback helped Todd add another podcast to his network: The Pediatric Pharmacist Revue with host Dr. Allison Chung.

A pharmacy podcast, in my opinion, is a podcast produced by pharmacist, pharmacy technician, pharmacy association or business, or the Pharmacy Podcast Network. By my count, there are over 100 pharmacy podcasts. Some are actively publishing new episodes. Some are not.
2 ways to find pharmacy podcasts:
- Look at Dr. Erin L. Albert’s “List of Podcasts in and Around Pharmacy.”
- Read the list of shows on the Pharmacy Podcast Network’s website.
The top 10 reasons that I listen to pharmacy podcasts:
- The #1 reason I listen to pharmacy podcasts is that I love to learn. Each time I listen to a pharmacy podcast, I learn something. I either learn something pharmacy-related, or I learn something that I can use to make my podcast better. Valuable content of any kind is what I’m after.
- I listen to potential guests for my podcast on other other pharmacy podcasts.
- I like to read the show notes from pharmacy podcasts. Why? Links to connect with guests. Links for products or services mentioned during the episode. Plus, I’m curious how other podcasters craft their show notes.
- I like to experience shows of different lengths.
- I like to see if the title of the episode fits the content.
- I like to hear how other pharmacists are using disclaimers or legal language in their podcasts.
- I like listening to the format used in pharmacy podcasts: intro length, advice show format, interview show format, panel discussions, etc. What works well to create a good listener experience?
- I like to look at podcast artwork and see how it’s being used.
- I like to look at the release schedule for other podcasts. I’m curious to know what others do. I’ve thought about switching my release schedule.
- I like to read the description of a pharmacy podcast in the my podcast player before I listen to it. There are so many pharmacy podcasts out there that, when I’m in the mood to try a new one, I want to see the description, the title of the episode, and/or the description of the guest or episode from the show notes.
The seven pharmacy podcasts I listen to most:
-
- The Edutainer with host Dr. Erin L. Albert.
- The Business of Pharmacy Podcast with host Mike Koelzer
- CPhT Connect Podcast with host Mike Johnston, CPhT
- The Fit Pharmacist Healthcare Podcast with host Dr. Adam Martin, “The Fit Pharmacist”
- The FDA Drug Safety Podcasts with various hosts
- Your Financial Pharmacist, with host Tim Ulbrich and others.
- Storrie Podcast with Host Dr. Christine Manukyan
Join me next Friday, October 29, 2021 for the third and final part of this series about pharmacy podcasts. Special guest and Pharmacy Podcast Network Founder Todd Eury will join me to discuss reasons that pharmacists should have a podcast. Plus, we’ll touch on “What’s in it for the pharmacist?” And, “What’s in it for the listener?” Listen next week to hear more!
Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast ® Episode 119!
Today’s episode is the kick-off of a 3 part series about pharmacy podcasts. This entire episode was recorded using lavaliere (lapel) microphones…even the interview with special guest Dr. Christina Madison.
Dr. Christina Madison is a pharmacist, podcast host, and Founder and CEO of The Public Health Pharmacist, PLLC, a public health consulting firm. She is a clinical pharmacist specializing in public health with a focus on infectious communicable diseases. We became fast friends through LinkedIn and Zoom last year, and we had the good fortune of meeting up at the Medipreneurs Summit for Healthcare Entrepreneurs in Cincinnati, OH last weekend (October 8-10, 2021), where she helped me test my new portable podcasting set-up.
Pharmacy podcasts, in my humble opinion, are podcasts produced by pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy associations, and the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
Next week (October 22, 2021), I’ll talk about the pharmacy podcasts I listen to most and why I listen to them. Then, in part 3 of this series (Oct 29, 2021), I will give reasons that pharmacists should have a podcast. What’s in it for the pharmacist? What’s in it for the listener? Join me for for parts 2 and 3 of this series to hear more about pharmacy podcasts.
Thank you Dr. Christina Madison for being my guest on episode 118 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast! Christina is a real pro at public speaking and a lot of fun to hang out with. Thanks again Dr. Christina! 💕
Thank you Dr. Erin L. Albert for sharing your awesome List of Podcasts In and Around Pharmacy! 📝

Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Conference (Note: This is an Affiliate Link.)
Pharmapreneur Academy
NCPA: National Community Pharmacists Association
Dr. Erin L. Albert
Own Your Greatness by Lisa Orbé-Austin and Dr. Richard Orbé-Austin
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Blair Thielemier. She’s a pharmacist and business development consultant, specializing in pharmacist-led billing models. She consults on and produces e-learning programs for state and national organizations, pharmacy wholesalers, payers, and technology start-ups. She has books and online courses available for individuals looking to leverage their pharmacy knowledge into monetized clinical programs at https://pharmapreneuracademy.com. She speaks internationally about trends in leveraging pharmacists to improve value-based care.
The focus of our interview is on Blair’s upcoming Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit, which is LIVE over Zoom October 21, and 22, 2021, 9 AM to 4 PM Central Time. Content will highlight Blair’s experience, what she sees that is working in the pharmacy industry and what’s working in consulting, and so much more.
Even if you are listening to this episode after the Summit, you will still get value from listening to this episode. Blair talks about how she uses her voice to advance the profession of pharmacy and educate other pharmacists on how to leverage their pharmacy knowledge into monetized clinical programs. To learn more, visit https://pharmapreneuracademy.com.
Highlights from the interview
Knowing your “why” is important. Blair’s mission is elevating the profession of pharmacy.
In the beginning, Blair was shy about using her voice. She wanted to be anonymous and feels that she has always been more of a writer. Blair launched the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit in 2017 to share other pharmacists’ voices.
Pharmacist-led clinical services can impact quality metrics and make a positive impact on ROI for pharmacy services. Blair mentioned 3 different models:
- Physician’s office path
- Pharmacy-based path
- Patient-pay path
Blair will be teaching the 4 Pillars of Pharmapreneurial Success during the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit.
We need to hear pharmacists share what’s working for them and the impact they are having. Blair will introduce Summit participants to some amazing pharmacists.
Click this link to register for the October 2021 Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit. (Note: This is an Affiliate Link.). There is no cost to register. Date and time: Thursday, October 21, and Friday, October 22, 9 AM - 4 PM CST. The Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit is not recorded. It is LIVE via Zoom only. Pop in and out if that’s your availability. It may still inspire you! Pharmacy students and other healthcare professionals are welcome to attend the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit too. Sign up for Blair’s newsletter through her website to learn about upcoming events and opportunities.
Pharmapreneur Academy has a great team, including someone who will help pharmacists sell their services. Pharmacists have a hard time selling without feeling “salesy.”
Blair is from a small town in NE Arkansas. She talked about imposter syndrome. Blair was self-conscious about her accent at first. Now, she owns it! She had a limiting belief that people would perceive her as “less than” because of her accent. Personal and career development has helped her move past her limiting beliefs.
I mentioned the book Own Your Greatness by Lisa Orbé-Austin and Dr. Richard Orbé-Austin. In Own Your Greatness, Drs. Orbé-Austin talk about “ANTS” = automatic negative thoughts and how to overcome them.
Blair wants to found a non-profit foundation to help pharmacists learn how to show up, demonstrate their value, and be an advocate at the national level.
Listen to the end of the interview for Blair’s answers to the following 5 questions:
- What is the biggest challenge you face in creating an online conference?
- What’s the best thing that’s happened since you started the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit?
- What’s the best thing that’s happened since you started the Pharmapreneur Academy?
- What’s the best piece of advice anyone in the pharmacy world has ever given you?
- Other than imposter syndrome, what’s one hidden pitfall in pharmacy that prevents pharmacists from succeeding?
Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast episode 117! I hope Blair has inspired you to use your voice! Space is limited for the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit. Sign up today! Thank you again for listening.

Almasa and I met in the pre-pharmacy program at The University of Toledo (Toledo, OH), where we earned our BS Pharmacy Degrees. She earned her PharmD from The Ohio State University and completed a Clinical Research and Drug Development Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill. Over the years, she has worked for numerous drug companies, including King, Pfizer, Shionogi, and UCB. Almasa enjoys the development side of R&D. Although Almasa is not employed in traditional clinical pharmacy practice, she keeps an active pharmacist license.

Almasa became successful in the pharmaceutical industry thanks to her pharmacy degrees, fellowship, on-the-job training, managers, mentors, and teams. A Pharmacy Degree is a good foundation for a role in the pharmaceutical industry. There are so many roles! R&D, Clinical Development, Safety, Regulatory, Medical Affairs, and more. Almasa has worked on pharmaceuticals in many drug classes.
There’s more than one way to get a job in the pharmaceutical industry. Apply first. Once you’re in, you can apply internally for a position or get recruited to fill a role. Networking helps facilitate moving around. There’s more than one approach.
Almasa is an advocate for the Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation. As a refugee from the former Yugoslavia in the 1990’s, she was displaced to Croatia, then immigrated to the US with her Mom, Dad, and younger sister. As an adult, Almasa wanted to give back and help youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia is more than just four large cities: Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, and Banja Luka. It’s also made up of little cities, like her home town of Donji Vakuf. Almasa mentored a young woman from the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) Futures Foundation. Then, she advocated for a Makerspace in Donji Vakuf.
Sometimes, kids need a little push and good role models. BH Futures Foundation empowers youth through education, technology, and leadership development. The Donji Vakuf Makerspace is a place for young people to learn, develop, and try to solve problems. BH Futures Foundation gives them the tools they need. Building relationships with community leaders and getting their buy-in was an important part of founding the Makerspace in Donji Vakuf. When it opened in August 2021, it was well-received by the community.
Almasa cares about kids in small towns having opportunities - not just kids in the big cities. She wanted to give others a chance to make it as far as they can.
What does Almasa do for fun? Almasa has backyard chickens! During the pandemic (summer 2020), she hired a carpenter to build a beautiful chicken coop in her backyard. It looks like a red barn. She has 4 lady birds (all 4 are different breeds). They lay 3-4 eggs/day. When she lets the roam, they like to walk around her yard. She has learned a lot from the Chicken Whisperer Podcast, including how to compost chicken poop. In the future, Almasa would like to try raised-bed gardening and use her compost to grow her favorite vegetables.
Listen to the podcast for more about how Almasa avoids burnout and some of her favorite board games!

Highlights from the Interview
Margo and I met in-person at a business expo in Northwest Ohio, which is where we both live. Thank you Linda Fayerweather from the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library for sending me Margo’s way!
Margo and I have been working well together for about 4 years, and our first project was the logo for The Pharmacist’s Voice ®. She also created my business cards, stationery, envelopes, podcast artwork, social media banners, and the artwork for my online course.
Examples of Margo’s work include print designs, logos, signage, and more. Visit https://www.designbymep.com to learn more.
At my request, Margo to included a copyright release in the contract for the artwork she created for me. That way, the designs belong to The Pharmacist’s Voice ®. However, she has permission to use my designs as examples in her portfolio.
What are some tips for finding the right graphic designer?
- Do a Google search for graphic designers in your area. Get a feel for them. Does their portfolio have artwork you like the look of? Are you drawn to their artwork and style?
- When styles between client and graphic designer are very different, it can take longer to get to the final goal due to frustration, miscommunications, omitted follow-up questions, and assumptions about the process. Choose the right designer for you.
- Go with someone who meets your budget needs.
- A clear process is important. Example: initial conversation, first concepts, rounds of revisions, final files, billing, etc.
- Research helps. A good graphic designer will research who the client is without their logo. Note: Creating a logo is different from creating a brand.
There are advantages to going with an individual designer like Margo vs. online companies. For example, Margo is available for personal and thoughtful conversations about what will work and what will not work. Personal relationships are important!
Margo likes functional design: artwork that says more and there’s a story behind it. Margo likes doing research for her designs. She also likes doing illustrations, which she considers REAL art.
Some of the things Margo likes best about her job is being available for her family, doing work she loves, and having some location independence. Having a flexible schedule has allowed her to do more activism. She likes having a flexible schedule. In July, when everyone is on vacation, and business is slow, she has the opportunity to fill the time with learning.
Even though Margo is busy, she is an excellent communicator and meets my deadlines. I have had great experiences with her and would recommend her. Margo likes to keep in touch with clients. She feels like she’s part of their story. I know she’s part of MY story!
Thank you for listening to episode 113 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast.
Drug names are not normal words. They aren’t always pronounced the way they look, and sounding them out doesn’t always work. The two resources I use most often are the USP Dictionary Online (USAN) and the FDA’s website.
Mentioned in this episode
Labor Day
Fulton County Fair (Northwest Ohio)
USP Dictionary Online (USAN)
FDA’s website
FDA Medication Guides Search page
Drugs@FDA Search page
USAN drug name pronunciation guide on the American Medical Association’s website
Whether you’re a student delivering a presentation, a pharmacist doing some CE and curious how to pronounce a new drug name, a pharmacy technician who has to pronounce a drug name at patient pick-up counter, or a voice actor prepping a script, do your research, and use reliable sources for pronouncing drug names. Pronouncing drug names correctly will help you feel confident, avoid criticism, earn trust, improve safety, and feel less frustrated.
Researching pronunciations on the internet can be time-consuming and lead to the wrong answer. If you get a pronunciation from more than one source, and 2 or more don’t match, you will end up guessing. Evaluate your sources carefully. What you find might be crowd-sourced, computer-generated, someone’s best guess, or the real deal.
I strongly recommend the USP Dictionary Online for generic drug name pronunciations.
Brand names are typically shorter and easier to pronounce. Unfortunately, there is no dictionary for pronouncing them. Brand name drug pronunciations are NOT in the USP Dictionary. Resources I recommend for brand-name drug pronunciations are:
- Medication guides (FDA Medication Guides Search page)
- Package inserts (Drugs@FDA Search page)
- The drug’s website
- A drug rep for the product
- An experienced pharmacology professor or an experienced healthcare professional, like a pharmacist. If it’s an older drug, speak to someone with 20+ years clinical experience.
- Contact the drug sponsor’s Drug Information Department.
Levomilnacipran is generic for Fetzima.
LEE voe mil NA si pran is generic for Fetzima.
See how it’s broken down into the syllables, and the syllables that are emphasized are capitalized? “NA” has the primary emphasis. “LEE” has the secondary emphasis. Emphasize “NA” more than “LEE.”
Mirena (Mur AY nah, with a long “a”) is a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system.
Learn the intended pronunciations from the source who named the drugs instead of making a guess and passing it around like the “telephone game.” Drug names are weird for a reason (SAFETY). Let’s use them the way they were intended to be pronounced! There’s a difference between wanting to BE right because you like how someone says a drug name on YouTube and wanting to GET IT RIGHT by using the correct pronunciation. Let’s GET IT RIGHT!
If you need help with drug name pronunciations, I have an online course at kimnewlove.com called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. Check that out for more information on breaking down complicated drug names. If you need private coaching, I can help. For example, if you’re a voice actor and have a list of drug names you need help with, contact me through my website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.

Being a podcast guest can be intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. If you’re a pharmacist, podcasting was not part of your formal education.
Note: this episode is NOT about what to say. It’s about how to get the best-sounding audio possible so that listeners can focus on what you have to say.

Highlights from the episode
The problem with anything new (especially podcasting!) is that when we don’t know what we don’t know, it’s hard to know the right things to do. In this case, it’s hard to sound your best when you don’t know what needs to be done.
I learned best practices from having a podcast, my podcasting coach Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting, and my audio engineering coaches. I hope this episode helps you!
10 best practices for podcast guests
- Use the best microphone you have available.
- Know how to use your microphone or headset, and make sure you tell your computer which microphone to use. Practice using your microphone before your podcast interview.
- Wear earbuds or headphones.
- Hard wire in.
- Use good computer hygiene.
- Record in a quiet room, preferably a carpeted room with sound-absorbing material in it.
- Reduce distractions.
- Make sure your device [laptop] has enough battery.
- Relax.
- Have a glass of water within reach.
Poor audio quality turns listeners off, and when noises are recorded along with any voice, they’re distracting. I want to make you sound good so that if you’re ever a guest on my podcast or someone else’s, listeners will be able to focus on what you’re saying instead of the cat in the room, the notifications on your phone, the necklace rattling around your neck, your neighbor’s lawnmower, and the lag in your audio because your WiFi is unstable. Use the 10 best practices for podcast guests mentioned in this episode, and it will make a difference in the listener experience.
Thank you for listening to episode 110 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast!
Lydia Tate, whose pseudonym is Lily Jane, is an educator, voice actor, and audiobook narrator. Her style is spontaneous, straightforward, and savvy...like having coffee with your quirky BFF. She has loved performing since she was a kid. As an adult, she uses her Middle School Science Education degree both in the classroom and as a curriculum designer. And now, she pairs her education experience with her professional training in nonfiction narration to record engaging, informative voiceover. She also loves to record some fun cozy mysteries now and then. When Lydia is not narrating, you can find her making crafts, baking homemade bread, playing disc golf, or consuming coffee drinks full of chocolate or caramel.

Highlights from the interview and insights from Lydia
Lydia is one of my audiobook accountability partners. Accomplishing goals is easier to do when someone holds you accountable. Lydia holds me accountable for doing things I say I’m going to do, and I hold her accountable in return.
Investing in performance training and equipment, and setting up a professional recording environment is important.
Lydia has a background in theater, speech and debate, teaching middle school science, creating middle school science curriculum, and being a voice actor and an audiobook narrator. A unique mix!
Sean Pratt has an organized, nonfiction audiobook narration curriculum.
Lydia got into audiobooks when she discovered ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange).
Investing time and money into a new career can create doubt. Having doubts is normal. Moving forward in spite of doubt is a necessity for second-career professionals.
The Indie (ACX And Others) Audiobook Narrators and Producers [Private] Facebook Group is a great resource for audiobook narrators. Group members provide insights on a variety of topics, like performance, equipment, relationships with rights holders, and best practices. Moderators for the group and group members are talented and generous with information.
At 34 weeks pregnant during this interview, Lydia is ready for a break from narrating. Fortunately, jumping back into narrating audiobooks is an option in the future.
Lydia encourages second-career individuals or those considering a job change to try something different. Go for it! You never know where it will take you.

I’m trying to keep my kids busy this summer! We have a combination of structure and chaos. We have summer “bucket lists” full of things we have done or that we want to do. For example, we went to Cedar Point, the best amusement park ever!
As a voice actor, I have been working on my podcast this summer, practicing scripts for my upcoming eLearning demo, doing some auditioning, keeping up with my accountability partners, and recovering from muscle tension dysphonia.
I’m celebrating that the first audiobook I narrated (sold by Amazon) was released in July! It’s called IMPACT Pharmacist: Start Your Own Wellness Practice and Leave Your Retail Pharmacy Job Behind by Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon and Eric Bohannon. I’m also going on vacation! 🎉
What’s next for me? When I get home from vacation, I’ll be focused on catching up from vacation and getting the kids ready for school. Plus, I signed up for a Level 2 improv class. It starts August 16 (2021). In the near future, I’ll be working toward my eLearning demo with Debbie Irwin and Tim Keenan. Plus, I plan to start production on my second audiobook and tackle all the other professional goals I’ve put on hold because of summer, voice therapy, the pandemic, and life.

Background information
Today’s episode is an interview with Matt Grissinger, Director of Error Reporting Programs at ISMP, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. Matt earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and is a fellow of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices as well as the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists. He first joined ISMP in 2000 as an ISMP Safe Medication Management Fellow. His responsibilities include working with healthcare practitioners and institutions to provide education about medication errors and their prevention, and reviewing medication errors that have been voluntarily submitted by practitioners to ISMP’s National Medication Errors Reporting Programs (MERP). See Matt Grissinger’s full bio on the ISMP website. He has held numerous leadership positions and has contributed to a number of publications. In addition, he’s an adjunct assistant professor for Temple University School of Pharmacy.
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) is the nation’s first 501c(3) nonprofit organization devoted entirely to preventing medication errors. ISMP is known and respected for its medication safety information. For more than 25 years, it also has served as a vital force for progress. ISMP’s advocacy work alone has resulted in numerous necessary changes in clinical practice, public policy, and drug labeling and packaging.
Among its many initiatives, ISMP runs the only national voluntary practitioner medication error reporting program, publishes newsletters with real-time error information read and trusted throughout the global healthcare community, and offers a wide range of unique educational programs, tools, and guidelines. In 2020, ISMP formally affiliated with ECRI to create one of the largest healthcare quality and safety entities in the world, and ECRI and the ISMP PSO is a federally certified patient safety organization by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
As an independent watchdog organization, ISMP receives no advertising revenue and depends entirely on charitable donations, educational grants, newsletter subscriptions, and volunteer efforts to pursue its life-saving work. Visit www.ismp.org and follow @ismp1 to learn more.
Highlights from the interview
How does ISMP use its voice?
ISMP is the voice of the medication use process. ISMP looks at and addresses problems with the medication use process. Unless pharmacists and other practitioners speak up and tell ISMP about medication use problems, ISMP doesn’t know about them. Unsafe conditions, errors, etc. need to be reported, investigated, and shared around the world so others learn why things are going wrong and strategies to prevent harm to patients.
ISMP publishes a variety of newsletters, gives presentations (Example: ASHP Midyear in December), provides webinars, and offers in-person consulting at hospitals/outpatient pharmacies to do a proactive risk assessment, which looks at the medication use process to see what needs improvement. Over time and through publications in trade journals, education programs, etc. ISMP has grown their influence.
How did ISMP get started?
Mike Cohen founded ISMP and is the current President. His passion for medication safety began in the 1970’s, when he shared information about a serious insulin-related adverse event in his workplace with Hospital Pharmacy. The information was shared in story format.
How does ISMP define a medication error?
Use the definition created by NCCMERP (National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention). Medication errors differ depending on the setting they happen in and how they happen.
Who should report medication errors to ISMP?
ISMP accepts reports from consumers and any healthcare practitioner. ISMP is a qualitative reporting program, not a quantitative reporting program. The story and the details are important to creating a clear picture of what happened in order to improve processes or develop strategies. People don’t remember bar graphs, they remember stories. Personal stories are powerful. Matt shared a memorable story about a fentanyl patch and the death of a child. What can we learn from the story? Counseling about proper storage and disposal could have saved the child’s life.
What are some important features about ISMP’s website?
ISMP’s website is a wealth of information. Pharmacists, pharmacy students, and other healthcare professionals should access the tools and resources on the website. A good place to start is the self-assessments for pharmacies. The assessments lead to great conversations that improve safety. Discussing the lists (Confused Drug Names, Error-Prone Abbreviations, etc) can also create awareness about medication safety issues.
How do pharmacy schools use information from ISMP to inform students?
ISMP provides its newsletter to schools of pharmacy at no cost. Two schools of pharmacy that include classes on medication safety topics are Temple University and Thomas Jefferson University. Matt Grissinger teaches at Temple. Although he is not familiar with the curriculum at all schools of pharmacy, he would like to see pharmacy students learn more about medication safety and safe medication use processes. Students need to understand context in a variety of settings, including the ICU, operating room, med-surg floor, and more.
What is a notable achievement ISMP has made?
Being cited/referenced by numerous sources (for example Joint Commission and Medicare) is an achievement. ISMP tries to change organizations, lives, and processes.
Does ISMP have any important partnerships?
Matt mentioned two: ECRI (also based in Pennsylvania) and ASHP.
Are there any myths about ISMP?
Yes. ISMP is not a regulatory body, and they do not receive government funding.
What challenges does ISMP face?
- Permanent change in healthcare
- Affecting change in volume
- Uniform safe practices across the board
- Sharing knowledge
- Standardizing processes
- Getting everyone on board
How can pharmacists, pharmacy students, and pharmacy technicians get the most out of ISMP?
- Read the newsletter subscriptions
- Use ISMP’s self-assessment tools and other tools on the website.
- Tell ISMP your stories and workplace concerns. They can lead to change.
Learn about medication errors and why they happen. We need to get our pharmacy leaders to dig for details about what worries their staff about safe medication use practices.

Highlights from this episode
When I worked in clinical pharmacy practice, knowing what I needed to work on helped me become a better pharmacist. Feedback isn’t always positive, but it is helpful.
Working with coaches as a voice actor is helpful. I get feedback from an experienced and trustworthy person who has a good set of ears. As a result, my performance improves.
Not getting feedback is frustrating. If I don’t know something is wrong, I can’t fix it.
As a podcaster, I can’t see my blindspots, but I want to know if I have some and what they are! I would definitely like feedback from my listeners. Please fill out the listener survey by July 31, 2021. Here’s a link to a google form: https://bit.ly/3x7sSKG
I found another way to get feedback about my podcast. I got reviewed on the Podcast Review Show by podcast consultants, Dave Jackson and Erik K. Johnson. They reviewed episodes 84 and 93 of my podcast. Episode 84 is a solo show. Episode 93 is an interview show.
I won’t share every single point they made about my podcast, but I’ll tell you 10 things I learned.
- I need to ask my audience to share my podcast with a friend.
- It’s good to wrap up a show with a take-away.
- I need to share more about myself during my interview shows.
- I need to read my podcast intros faster and sound less stiff.
- During interview shows, I need to avoid asking questions and offering answers. Plus, I should not give guests a bank of questions (unless their legal dept requires it).
- I need to be less shy about editing. It’s ok to edit an interview to keep the momentum of the conversation going and keep the listeners engaged.
- Redirecting guests is good for the listeners. I need to politely interrupt guests in order to keep interviews on track.
- Explain why listeners should go to my website. Ex: show notes, to hire me, to hear my demo, to access links to podcast players.
- Have a “word of the week” to advertise my Drug name pronunciation course, which is called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. You can find it at https://www.kimnewlove.com
- I sound a little stiff in my solo shows. I need to go for conversational, fun, and warm.
The big take-away from this episode is that getting feedback is a good thing.

Highlights from the interview
This episode is a follow-up to The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast Episode 97: Interview with Maureen Garrity, NABP Competency Assessment Director, on how a foreign pharmacy graduate can become a US Pharmacist.
Here’s how Nancy went from University of Cairo graduate to US Pharmacist:
- 2005 BS Pharm University of Cairo
- 2007, Passed the FPGEE
- 2008, Passed the TOEFL-IBT
- 2008-2011, earned 2,000 internship hours to become eligible for the New Jersey MPJE and NAPLEX exam.
- 2011, passed the New Jersey MPJE and the NAPLEX.
- 2012, passed the Texas MPJE and became a Texas-licensed pharmacist
Nancy loved learning English. She started in high school, and she also learned by watching/listening to American television shows, like Dr. Phil.
Nancy struggled with getting hired by a pharmacy to complete her internship hours. They underestimated Nancy’s value.
Nancy found a good opportunity to work as a pharmacist in Texas (2012), so she earned her Texas pharmacist license and relocated from New Jersey to Texas. After 6 months, she was promoted to the position of Pharmacy Manager. In 2014, she left that job for another retail Pharmacy Manager job. She has been with the same company since 2014.
Nancy gave birth to three daughters between 2008 and 2014. Working in a community practice setting while pregnant is a challenge. Standing for long hours is hard; doing it while pregnant is even more difficult! Much respect to all the pregnant women pharmacists who work long hours on their feet with little or no breaks.
In September 2020, Nancy founded Texas Pharmacogenomics Consulting, LLC. She is an entrepreneur outside her FT community practice job. (She is not an intrapreneur for her employer.) Her patients find her through her website, social media, and marketing in town. To learn more, visit https://texaspgx.com.
PGX (Pharmacogenomic) testing is done using a cheek swab. It is sent to a lab. Nancy looks at lab data for information about a patient’s genes, enzymes, and more. She considers drug interactions, lifestyle, and alcohol use. Then, she collaborates with prescribers and makes plans and recommendations. Nancy works with individuals patients, prescribers, and laboratories.
Through Texas Pharmacogenomics Consulting, Nancy coaches other pharmacists who want to start a PGX practice. She saves them money on tools they don’t need, tells them which labs to collaborate with, instructs them on how to read a lab report, and more.
Nancy pursued additional education to learn about PGX. She is a Certified Pharmacogenomics Consultant Pharmacist. Nancy shared a PGX success story about a patient with PTSD. The patient got what he needed and avoided using an inappropriate medication.
Nancy was featured in the Spring 2021 issue of PharmaSis Magazine. Dr. Jerrica Dodd is the Founder and Editor of PharmaSis Magazine. Buy your copy and learn more at https://www.pharmasismag.com.
Nancy will join the PGX for Pharmacists podcast as a podcast host soon. You can find PGX for Pharmacists on the Pharmacy Podcast Network. https://pharmacypodcast.com/podcast/pgx-for-pharmacists/
Nancy’s value as a pharmacist was underestimated when she first came to the United States. She encourages foreign pharmacy school grads who dream about becoming US pharmacists to keep dreaming. Don’t let anyone crush your dreams. Keep pushing. Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.

After a very NOISY 4th of July holiday with fireworks 🎇, I thought noise would be a good topic for the podcast today. Noise, noise pollution, audio landmines…They’re all great words to describe the unwanted sounds I DON’T want in my audio when I record projects. Producing clean audio is important to my clients, so it’s important to me.
I talk about noises I struggle in this episode so that you understand the challenges narrators and voice actors face. If you’re not a narrator or a voice actor, you may still find value in this episode. Maybe you’re a podcaster, an online course creator, or someone who presents content another way online, like being a speaker at an online conference. You might find this episode eye-opening so you can change your recording environment or practices for the better.
Noises are distracting, and they diminish the listener experience. It can be hard to concentrate on what I’m saying when you can also hear noise in the background. Which noises do I struggle with? Some noises come from my body. Others come from things I wear. Vehicles create noise. Mother Nature does too. Machines outside my home make noise. Some noises come from inside my house. Noises also come from my computer, critters, and unexpected places.
In this episode, I also talk about strategies to help, like recording in a windowless room containing sound-absorbing material, using common sense, waiting for sounds to pass, finding patterns to noises, listening to coaches and audio engineers, removing noises with iZotope RX8 audio repair software, and knowing when to quit for the day.

Highlights from the interview
2020 was an exciting year for Dr. Hillary Blackburn! She gave birth to her first child, and she published How Pharmacists Lead: Answers from Women Who are Leading, Succeeding, and Impacting Pharmacy by Dr. Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA. The book is available in Kindle and print. Hillary loves Audible, but there is no audiobook yet.
According to amazon.com, “How Pharmacists Lead aims to inspire readers along their own leadership journey by highlighting examples of women in pharmacy who are leading, succeeding, and making an impact. Although women now make up the majority of graduates in the health professions, there continues to be a lack of females in leadership positions. This book explains some of the challenges that women face in the workplace, as well as solutions to overcome them.”
Tony Guerra, author and podcast host, encouraged Hillary to write her book.
Hillary is an early-adopter. Ever since her husband told her about podcasts, Hillary has been listening to them. Hillary thought she could start one, so she did. She enjoys connecting with others and helping them share how they use their voices.
Three Talk to Your Pharmacist Podcast interviews mentioned in this episode:
✅Interview with FMPhA Founder, Dr. Lauren Castle
✅Women in Leadership Series: Why We Need Female Leaders with Dr. Hillary Blackburn
✅Becoming Parents with RxRadio & Talk to Your Pharmacist Podcast Hosts (episode swap)
Congratulations to Dr. Hillary Blackburn for 4 years of podcasting and many guests on her show! She has had the privilege of connecting with many great pharmacist leaders, including entrepreneurs, leaders in association management, guests from private companies, Pharma, MSL’s, and the US military. These women inspire Hillary.
As a podcast host, Hillary likes to connect with other pharmacists, build her network, and provide content that has value for her listeners. Sponsors are the feather in her cap. Her podcast is published biweekly.
What is Women in Pharmacy Leadership League? It’s an online community for leaders to connect and focus on leadership or finding mentors. The platform (Mighty Networks) has a website and an app. An example of a topic of discussion is, “Are you a reader?”
Two female pharmacy leaders who mentored Dr. Hillary Blackburn are Dr. Deborah Minor and Dr. Sharon Dickey. According to Hillary, during their time together, Dr. Minor had a great rapport with patients, great relationships with colleagues (for example physicians), volunteered in her community, was an expert researcher, worked long hours, had high standards and expectations, was a role model, and even hosted Bible studies in her home (with home-cooked meals!).
Hillary mentioned Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. She mentioned connectors, mavens, and salesmen. Hillary feels natural as a connector.
Dispensary of Hope is a great fit for Hillary. She is the Director of Pharmaceutical Services. Hillary started as a volunteer. Now, she is a full-time employee. Having a way to give back to the community as a pharmacist is rewarding for her. Hillary is building her department. Dispensary of Hope just hired an informatics pharmacist named Mary who is a former student who worked there.
Pharmacists are leaders in their communities. They are trusted professionals. According to Hillary, you need to be able to use your voice with your patients in your community. You can use your voice no matter your sphere of influence.

Today’s episode is about how VO voiceover podcasts help me with my goals. If you’re not into voiceover work, this episode will still give you ideas about how to use podcasts to help you with your goals.
One of the best life hacks I’ve come across is listening to podcasts. I learn while I’m busy doing little things, like making beds, washing dishes, folding laundry, preparing meals, driving my car, and working out.
Just over two years ago, I barely knew what a podcast was. Ever since I started listening to podcasts, however, I have learned what a great tool they are. They make me think and learn.

Dr. Allie Butler is a US Air Force Veteran, pharmacist, and entrepreneur. The name of her company is Diabetes Battle Buddy. After her service in the Air Force, she became a pharmacist. For several years, she worked as a community pharmacist and focused on diabetes care.
Allie is passionate about diabetes management, supporting Veterans, and leadership development in healthcare professionals. In her free time, she enjoys cycling, cooking, gardening, and spending time with her husband and 3 children.
Highlights from the interview
Allie was a meteorologist for the US Air Force before becoming a pharmacist. When she left the Air Force, she wanted a job where she served others. Because her husband was also in the military at the time, she needed something flexible that could accommodate a military lifestyle. She chose pharmacy.
Supporting someone on their journey to wellness after a diagnosis of diabetes is important. Allie created Diabetes Battle Buddy to fill gaps in support and care that patients with diabetes face.
Diabetes Battle Buddy offers the following services:
✅One-on-one coaching: nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and medication counseling
✅Self-paced online coursework (Gestational diabetes course NOW available. Type 2 Diabetes course coming soon!)
✅Free Facebook Group
✅Wellness presentations (Ex: to employees of a business)
Allie knew diabetes was her passion because she enjoyed the topic in pharmacy school. Her understanding of diabetes and interest in the disease grew when she had gestational diabetes. Having first-hand experience with the approach healthcare professionals take to support patients after a diagnosis was eye-opening to Allie. Patients need extensive diabetes education and support at the time of diagnosis.
Allie explained how she came up with the name of her company: Diabetes Battle Buddy. In the military, a battle buddy is someone you’re in the trenches with. Your battle buddy has your back, and they won’t leave you behind. Dr. Allie Butler is a battle buddy to her patients with diabetes. She wants to help them manage their diabetes and be well. She also wants to connect her patients to supportive peers through a free Facebook group.
The logo for Diabetes Battle Buddy is a visual representation of what a battle buddy does. A battle buddy reaches back to help the person behind them.
Allie is a Board Certified Medication Therapy Management Specialist (BCMTMS). The additional training from her Board Certification helps Allie assess and support patients with their medications, including the ones used to control diabetes.
Allie’s patients find her on social media, the web, and word of mouth through friends, other patients, and family. Some patients want a one-time visit. Others need ongoing support.
If you know someone who needs a Diabetes Battle Buddy, please share Dr. Allie Butler’s website with them. https://diabetesbattlebuddy.com/

🟣A brand and a logo (To learn more, check out Celia Siegel’s book Voiceover Achiever.)
🟣Business cards
🟣Business plan
🟣Coaching
🟣Conferences
🟣Cover letters
🟣A CRM (customer relationship management tool)
🟣Editing audio is an important skill you MUST have (you may need coaching).
🟣Equipment: a microphone, an audio interface, headphones, a computer, audio recording software/DAW (Ex: Adobe Audition)
🟣GVAA Rate Guide (Check out the replay of David Toback’s appearance on Late Night Secrets. He talks about VO industry standard rates.)
🟣Invoicing
🟣Legal: LLC, contracts. (Check out Rob Sciglimpaglia Jr.’s book Voice Over Legal. Coupon Code RHONDA saves you $5 on either the paperback or ebook. Thank you John Florian at Voice Over Xtra for providing the link and coupon code!) https://www.voiceoverxtra.com/ebook.htm
🟣Memberships
🟣Mission statements
🟣Networking
🟣Online courses
🟣Organizational skills
🟣Pay to Play (P2P) sites
🟣A quality home studio: home-built or purchased (A purchased studio can cost $5,000-$10,000)
🟣Social media presence
🟣Support groups, stand-up groups, and meet-up groups
🟣Time management
How much does it cost to get started in VO? $5-10K is a good starting point. It can cost more or less depending on your training, equipment, and needs.
Everyone has “a great voice,” but everyone needs to learn how to use their voice.
Starting out making money is tough to do. Don’t quit your day job right away.
Finding the right coach can be a challenge. Ask your friends for references, and go on Facebook. Search within Facebook groups. Go to a coach once before signing on for sessions. For example, Rhonda does a consult with clients before coaching with them. Rhonda wants to learn who they are, where they’re coming from, what they’ve done, and how she can help them reach their goals. Some people need a business coach. Others need a performance coach. Some people need a coach who does both.
Shop for demos on several voice actors’ websites. voiceactorwebsites.com has a number of examples on their Portfolio Page.
Subscribe to Late Night Secrets for Voiceover Success (LNS)
🌟Usually the last Wednesday of each month
🌟Cost is typically $15 to sign up (as of June 2021). A replay is included.
🌟Replays are also for sale.
Past LNS guests include:

- George Washington III on The Impact of the Black Lives Matter/Race Awareness Movement in Voiceover Castings
- Debbie Irwin on Medical Narration and Non-broadcast VO
Rhonda refers students to other coaches as needed. Ex: animation, medical, and video games. Rhonda specializes in the following:
- Commercial
- Elearning
- Explainers
- IVR/on-hold
Rhonda offers group coaching
- Beginner group classes learn the basics about breaking scripts down. Some people feel intimidated by more experienced voice actors. Beginner group classes offer a safe space to work with other beginners or those who feel like beginners. Learning from other students is eye-opening about different delivery styles. Students also learn self-direction.
- General group class: Students still learn the basics, but they also learn skills to use in different genres of VO.
*In both kinds of group classes, students learn from the other students in the class.
“Run your own race.” Just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing.
How does someone know if they should be doing one-on-one coaching or group coaching? There are pros and cons of both. It’s hard to say if you should start with independent or group. Either way is ok. Trust your coach; s/he will tell you what you need to do.
It takes a village to raise a voice actor. VO talents may need more than one coach.
Learn how to use your voice. Rhonda recommends any of the following to get used to speaking:
- Improv
- Basic acting
- Toastmasters
What should newbies avoid? Don’t pay $400 to be on a P2P site, then get the microphone, then decide to start doing auditions. Do things in the right order. Otherwise, heartbreak may be around the corner if you’re auditioning and you don’t know what you’re doing.
How do you know if someone is coachable? Coaching goes both ways. Find the right coach for you, and BE COACHABLE. Everyone is coachable depending on how open they are to feedback. How positive is their attitude toward work? It’s easy to get discouraged. Be able to take direction and put direction into action. Retain what you learn.
Not every coach is right for every student. It's a business. If you’re not getting your needs met, say something! Coaches can refer. You have to know how you like to be coached. What approach do you like? Do you appreciate directness? Nurturing and kindness? Find the coach that works for you. Everyone learns differently. Find who you respond well to and whose feedback you don’t take personally.

Transition times help us grow and change…just like when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. If you’re going through a career change, you’re not alone. I’m going through a change too. It’s a process. Just like a caterpillar in a cocoon, do the work on the inside. Don’t be in a hurry. Be present for the things that are important. Find closure with what you need to leave behind. And, most of all, ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Today’s episode was inspired by a question several foreign pharmacists have asked me: “How can a foreign pharmacy graduate become a US pharmacist?” I typically refer them to NABP’s website, however, I also reached out to NABP for a podcast interview to answer their question. It is my hope that foreign pharmacy graduates will value the information provided by my guest, Maureen Garrity.
Maureen Garrity is the Competency Assessment Director for NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy). NABP is the independent, international, and impartial association that works with its members, the state boards of pharmacy, to protect the public health.
To help support patient and prescription-drug safety, NABP provides examinations that assess competency, pharmacist licensure transfer and verification services, and various pharmacy accreditation programs like Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites® (VIPPS®) and Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS).
NABP is proud of their diverse skills and backgrounds, which help them create innovative programs to meet the needs of the state boards of pharmacy.

Once a candidate is FPGEC Certified, they need to reach out to the state board of pharmacy where they want to be licensed (Ex: Ohio). The board of pharmacy will guide them through the process of becoming licensed by taking the NAPLEX and MPJE. NABP does not license pharmacists. They provide examinations that determine licensure.
Sometimes, applicants can not become FPGEC Certified. Reasons may include unmet education requirements or a restricted foreign pharmacist license. How can applicants overcome this barrier? Completing pharmacy school in the US is one option.
NABP has high TOEFL score expectations because there’s a lot at stake: safety and health. US pharmacists must be ready to speak to patients immediately after meeting licensure requirements.
How would someone find out that they’re not qualified as a candidate? The NABP eProfile is a good communication tool for status updates. Email is also used to communicate.
US Pharmacy School students usually graduate in May. May is also important for foreign pharmacy graduates. In May, the registration opens for the FPGEE. The PFGEE is only offered once per year on a single date in October.
Seats are reserved for FPGEE candidates at Pearson VUE Testing Centers on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration closes approximately one month prior to the FPGEE exam date. Why? It takes time to schedule candidates, and it takes time for the NABP to print and send FIC cards to candidates.
The NABP created practice exams (Pre-Exams) for the FPGEE, NAPLEX, and MPJE. They are available for purchase through the NABP eProfile. Those who pass the practice test are more likely to pass the actual exam. Why? One reason is that test questions on the practice exam were real exam questions at one time. Practice exams are also important to candidate success because they offer insight into how the test will look and the navigation features Pearson VUE uses.
What’s the job market like? According to Maureen, it all depends on how you define “Pharmacist Job.” There are a lot of non-traditional pharmacist jobs out there. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has stats on more traditional roles.
For anyone looking for a job, Maureen recommends building your network of pharmacist friends. Join associations and organizations; network with member pharmacists. A good network can be powerful! You might find out about a job from your network before it is posted to the public.
Being a foreign pharmacy graduate has advantages. Some employers value language skills. For example, global Pharma companies and culturally-diverse communities need pharmacists with language skills.
Maureen’s advice for any pharmacist looking for the right job:
✅Find a job you’re passionate about. That will make you happy.
✅Don’t take a job just for the money. No matter how much money you make, it can seem like it’s never enough.
It’s possible to get something right in theory and in practice. This episode is nostalgic for me. I talk about piano lessons, joining the band, my pharmacy internship, childbirth (both times!), and my voiceover career.

IVPN Voice Interview with Kim Newlove (Google Podcasts Link)
Founded in 2012, IVPN stands for (I)ntra(V)enous (P)arenteral (N)utrition. Visit http://www.ivpn-network.com for more information. Originally, it was an email group focused on the topic of intravenous parenteral nutrition. IVPN is growing and includes other specialties now. Members are fondly nicknamed, “IVPNeers.”
Mariam pitched the idea of adding a podcast to IVPN, and they loved it! IVPN founder, Osama Tabbara, saw something in Mariam and let her take the lead. She launched IVPN Voice Podcast in 2020. Mariam is learning a lot and having fun.
IVPN Voice Podcast has a global audience with Ambassadors in other countries. Visit IVPN on Instagram for more information about Ambassadors and the countries they represent. IVPN wants to promote the profession of pharmacy among all countries and empower pharmacists to practice at the top of their licenses.
Many listeners are people around Mariam’s age. They may be students, fresh grads, or pharmacists trying to find jobs and their passion for the profession of pharmacy. Mariam hopes to inspire them or push them to do what they want to do. She is a working pharmacist and a podcaster. She’s a role model to her listeners!
Mariam has several co-hosts, including Ahmad El Ouweini, PharmD, Sirine Shoukair, PharmD, Leen Agha, and others. She appreciates her team and enjoys working with them.
We discussed differences between the role of the pharmacist in the UAE vs the US. Private practice and entrepreneurship are more common in the US. Two US women pharmacists who help other pharmacists launch businesses are Dr. Blair Thielemier and Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon. Blair’s Pharmapreneur Academy helps pharmacists leverage their skills through consulting services. Dr. Asha works with her husband Eric to help pharmacists launch their own businesses. Visit the BizRx™️ website to learn more or check out their IMPACT Pharmacist online course. (Note: affiliate link.)
IVPN and APhA (The American Pharmacists Association) are partners. IVPN Founder Osama Tabbara and current APhA President Scott Knoer know one another from Cleveland Clinic. Cleveland Clinic has a presence in the UAE, specifically in Abu Dhabi. According to Mariam, Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi (CCAD) has set the bar high for medicine. She did her internship at CCAD and credits them with helping her find her passion for pharmacy during her internship.
Currently, Mariam works full-time as a pharmacist in a hospital in the UAE. Her focus is insurance and pre-authorization issues, but she also dispenses meds, counsels patients on therapy, and does first fill reviews. She records 1-2 podcasts per month.
Mariam may be the only woman pharmacist podcaster in UAE as of this recording (April 10, 2021). Way to go Mariam!! Check out IVPN Voice Podcast, and connect with Mariam on LinkedIn.

Thank you for listening to episode 95 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Disruption can be a good thing!
The pandemic disrupted how I usually earn CE, so I am trying something different and liking it! My son’s disability (autism) disrupted my professional life, so I turned to voice acting and podcasting. If something has disrupted your life, try to find the good in it. Think about what you CAN do. Think ABILITY first.
Every 2 years, I renew my Ohio pharmacist license. I need 40 hours of continuing education (CE) every 2 years (including 2 hours of medication error/patient safety and 2 hours of jurisprudence/law).
The Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) offers CPE on-demand from April 16-June 16, 2021.
Pharmacist’s Letter is one my favorite sources of CE.

Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Erin L. Albert. She’s a pharmacist, attorney, educator, podcaster, and author. Our conversation focuses on thought leadership through writing and publishing so that you can be inspired to share your ideas with the world.
Erin is both a pharmacist and an attorney. Erin is an author of over a dozen books, and has served many corners of pharmacy practice--community pharmacy practice, the pharmaceutical industry (in a variety of capacities, such as clinical research, pharmacovigilance, field-based medical affairs, and medical marketing), pharmacy benefits, Medicaid, drug pricing, and academia for over a decade. She taught at Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, where her writing skills transferred into publishing, and she taught/mentored student publishing projects--including several children's book publications, adult pharmacy publications, and even founded a healthcare review for students across campus, BU Well. In addition to publishing her own books on a variety of pharmacy, legal, entrepreneurship and STEM subjects, Erin also has written for Pharmacy Times, Pharmacy Careers, and GoodRx. Last, she has podcasted for decades on a variety of topics as well, including writing and publishing, most recently on her own show, The Edutainer. Her books have been featured on DanPink.com, Entrepreneur, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Forbes. Her latest book is Punk Rock Pharmacy: DIY Your Healthcare Career.

Highlights from the interview
Thought leadership is, “Influencing a narrative by understanding what needs to be done or needs to be changed.” Thought leaders can influence the narrative to affect positive change. Writing and publishing is important for the narrative. We can call out bad behavior; promote good behavior; and solve problems. We might be able to make things better by publishing.
Publishing includes more than one venue. Podcasts, video, and anything you put into the universe to consume is publishing.
Erin’s new book is Punk Rock Pharmacy: DIY Your Own Healthcare Career (eBook subscription). Different generations consume content in different ways. “Fan fiction” is popular right now. Punk Rock Pharmacy is like an experiment. It’s an “ebook-u-mentary,” and it’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book. Part is written and can be purchased now (April 2021). The rest will be like fan fiction where the readers will interact with Erin and help her shape the narrative on what they want to know about their own healthcare career. Erin is looking to other healthcare professionals to help her help them. Erin’s Annual Pharmacy Rebellion Survey helped with Punk Rock Pharmacy.
Who is Erin trying to reach through writing and publishing? It depends. On the Edutainer Podcast, Erin explores the intersection of education and entertainment. The podcast is not just about pharmacy and healthcare; it’s much broader. In print, Erin sticks more to pharmacy, pharmacy and law, entrepreneurship, and STEM.
We need specialists and generalists. Erin is a generalist. She prefers to talk about a lot of things and does not limit herself to one topic in the broad sense of publishing.
Recently, Erin attended the California Nurses Association (Virtual) Conference on Policy and Politics. She loved it! Nurses are doing things that pharmacy can use. Pharmacists can elevate the pharmacy profession by taking the greatest hits from other professions and bringing them into our own. Seeing other people do cool things can inspire you to do something different too. Case examples inspire others.
Erin wants to help coach and develop pharmacists into the careers they want. People want to be what they can see. Some career paths don’t exist on paper. Giving pharmacists a way to see how wide healthcare and pharmacy practice are now will help them reinvent themselves and take slices from others to create their own customized career portfolio.
“What makes you weird is your superpower.” We need to bring our passions and interests from outside of pharmacy into the profession to create something unique and cool.
You must know yourself better than anyone else. Know your Ikigai:
- What you love to do [and what you don’t love to do].
- What the world needs.
- What you’re good at.
- What you can get paid to do.
- BONUS: What you value.
Some pharmacists who are unhappy with their jobs panic and start applying for jobs. In the end, they end up treading water. As an alternative, Erin recommends getting clear on who you are. Know your strengths and seek to use them. Anyone looking to change careers needs to do the hard work to figure out what they love/don’t love to, what the world needs, what they’re good at, what they can get paid to do, and what they value. Do the work first, then start shopping for a new gig. It’s ok to search for jobs without “pharmacist” in the title [if you’re a pharmacist]!
The Medical Science Liaison: An A to Z Guide, First Edition was Erin's first book. (Also see The Medical Science Liaison: An A to Z Guide, Second Edition.) At first, she planned to publish the content in a peer-reviewed journal. After 6 months of waiting to be published, she became frustrated. She pulled the paper and transformed it into a book. She even created an LLC to help her manage her writing and publishing projects. You could say Erin became an “accidental entrepreneur.”
Erin continues to write because she got onto the “writing treadmill” and enjoyed it. She enjoys the routine, and her goal is to publish one book per year if there is an interesting topic that she wants to write about. She has generally published one book per year.
Erin enjoys writing about what she’s curious about. It’s part therapy and part investigation. Toni Morrison said, “If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” Writing a book, sharing a video, or publishing a podcast is Erin’s way of taking people along on the ride with her on her learning experience.
Ideas can develop over time. Erin talked about “idea funnels.” Something she is curious about might start with a LinkedIn post or blog, then a podcast, and eventually a book. Ex: Erin’s Rebellion survey on LinkedIn morphed into the Punk Rock Pharmacy book. Look for the Annual Rebellion Survey mid-year 2021 on LinkedIn.
Post-pandemic, people have changed the way they consume content; generational differences impact content consumption too. Erin is trying to experiment with how she publishes content as a result. Writing and publishing is her laboratory, and she is experimenting constantly. For example, on Erin’s weekly videos, she focuses on pharmacy law, pharmacy benefits, and career development. Erin has self-published books and published books through a publisher. It’s all kind of an experiment because there isn’t necessarily one best way to publish content anymore.
Promotion is a challenge Erin faces with publishing. No one will ever promote your book like you will. Publishers don’t solve promotion problems. You need to build your audience. For example, Erin built an audience and a tribe around the book Single. Women. Entrepreneurs. (See also Single Women Entrepreneurs: 5 Years Later.)
If you’re going into a new area, and you’re not the “thought leader” in that area (yet), writing and publishing a book helps you become a self-fulfilling prophesy. You become a thought leader by and through curating a new tribe.
At the 2019 Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, NC, Erin and I discussed reaching a broader audience with her books through audiobooks. Erin narrated parts of The New Pharmacist: 46 Doses of Advice (2014) on her podcast in a mini-series because I inspired to to do it and for the benefit of the Class of 2020 Pharmacy School grads. (Way to go, Erin!) She did not read the book cover-to-cover on the Edutainer Podcast, but the response to reading The New Pharmacist: 46 Doses of Advice (2014) on the Edutainer Podcast was awesome!
Why did Erin write The New Pharmacist: 46 Doses of Advice? Erin says that once her Butler University [pharmacy] students got their first jobs, they would ask, “Dr. Albert, is that all there is?” The book was her reply to them in “mini doses.”
Fun fact! Erin’s writing voice is much like her conversational speaking voice.
Erin also read some of her books for children on her podcast, including He Huffed and He Puffed But…A Tale of a Wolf With Asthma. Her books for children are a product of collaboration with college students from different disciplines (education, business, pharmacy, and health sciences). They co-wrote, developed, and illustrated the books.
Erin is thankful to her readers, listeners, and followers. She feels it’s an honor and a privilege to have a voice people listen to. We’re all here to learn from each other. Whether it’s one-on-one in conversation or in podcasts and books, we can all use our voices to affect positive change. We have a certain level of responsibility to use our voices.
Dr. Erin L. Albert inspired me to look into starting a podcast when we met at the 2019 Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, NC. If not for her, this podcast might not exist. Thank you for the inspiration, Erin!
Today’s episode is about three common questions people ask me:
- How do I get into voiceover?
- How do I start a podcast?
- How do I record, edit, and produce audio?
First of all, thank you for trusting me with your questions. Unfortunately, I’m not a voiceover coach or a podcasting coach. However, I appreciate your questions, and I care about pointing you in the right direction. So, this episode mentions online courses for VO and podcasting beginners and a list of recording software options (and related online courses or webinars) for you to consider.
VO Online Courses
- VO Success is taught by pharmacist, voice actor, and podcast host Mike Lenz. Visit https://vosuccess.com.
- Introduction to Voiceover is taught by voice actor and coach Rhonda Phillips. Visit http://introductiontovoiceover.com. Rhonda will be a guest on my podcast in June to talk about coaching newbies and her career in VO.
Podcasting Online Course
The School of Podcasting is taught by Podcast Coach Dave Jackson. The website is https://schoolofpodcasting.com. Please use my affiliate link to purchase a monthly membership: https://www.theschoolofpodcasting.com/bundles/school-of-podcasting-monthly-membership?ref=2bec1f. Dave has been a podcaster for more than 15 years. In his course, he teaches students how to plan, launch, grow, and monetize podcasts. I personally went through his program, and I loved it! From the time I started until I published my first episode, it took about 2 months.
Whether you’re into VO or podcasting, you need to learn how to record, edit, and produce audio. By produce, I mean create an MP3 or WAV file. You need something called recording software. There are a number of platforms out there. They all have learning curves. Do your research! Find one in your price range that has the tools you need and works with your Mac or PC. Then, get started!
7 recording software options I recommend:
- Adobe Audition
- Audacity (This was my first DAW.)
- Garage Band
- Hindenburg Journalist
- Reaper
- Studio One Artist (This is what I use as of April 2021.)
- Twisted Wave
Some are better for podcasting than VO. Do your research! There are online courses and webinars out there for learning recording software too. See list below:
Adobe Audition
- Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting (This course is included in the monthly membership.)
- “Uncle Roy” (aka Roy Yokelson) from Antland Productions.
Audacity
- Jonah Rosenthal through GVAA
- Larry Hudson from VO Heaven
- Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting (This course is included in the monthly membership.)
You can also learn Garage Band and Hindenburg Journalist from Dave Jackson. Both are included in the monthly membership.
Mike Delgaudio, aka Booth Junkie, teaches how to use Reaper.
The Studio One Artist course is called Studio One Jumpstart. It’s taught by Don Baarns and his son Donny Baarns. I have personally taken this, and it is excellent.
Jim Edgar teaches Twisted Wave.
George Whittam is a skilled audio engineer. Search Youtube for videos.
Learning recording software takes time and practice! Don’t get frustrated. If this is what you really want to do, just stay with it. It gets easier!

Highlights from the interview
In the healthcare space, Bill advocates for safety being the cornerstone of brand. Names should be safe. Bill educates clients on the importance of brand for their business.
Drug naming is a challenging process that can take several months. When an asset or molecule needs a brand name, a team works together with a client. They take into consideration legal presence, commercial presence, regulatory issues, drug information, linguistics, an understanding of what the product is and the science behind it, and more. Client feedback is important. Naming is one part of branding. It can lead into the larger process - the Brand Precept. The Brand Precept includes the brand story and narrative, visual identity and logo, package design, color palate, website, imagery, campaign development, and more. Through the Brand Precept, marketplace, customer, and brand become aligned in a meaningful and differential way.
What makes a drug name appropriate or inappropriate/desirable or undesirable? Safety first! A name should not be confused with another product. Names must be unique, ownable, catchy, and memorable. Also, weird is good! Some drug names have uncommon letter strings, phonetic alternatives, and double letters. Branding teams do research to find trends.
How does a patient, pharmacist, or other person know how to pronounce drug names? When a drug name candidate is developed, there is an intended pronunciation conveyed to the client. Eventually it is stated in marketing. Names are tested, including listening to sound files of people pronouncing names.
Bill uses a tool called “POCA” (Phonetic Orthographic Computer Analysis) to help with drug naming. According to the FDA’s website, The Phonetic and Orthographic Computer Analysis (POCA) program is a software tool that uses an advanced algorithm to determine the orthographic and phonetic similarity between two drug names. Bill also uses legal databases, stem nomenclature searches, linguistic analysis, a dictionary, a thesaurus, and market research. The biggest tool brand craftspeople use is know-how (personal experience). An experienced team can build consensus, define a vision, and help a client get there.
I suggested using synesthesia as a tool. Bill said that the brain goes to what it knows. It’s a challenge to create a connection that is unique.
There is value in hiring Addison Whitney. They have experience naming over 1,000 brands products, services, trials, drugs, devices, and more. They know the process of generating safe and viable names, and they know how to avoid pitfalls and build consensus.
A myth about drug naming is that, “It can’t be that hard!” On the contrary, to get one name, it can take 2 years to consider more than 1,000 name candidates. It’s both an art and a science. Rarely do names jump off a page. A variety of skill sets are involved in naming and branding. Everyone needs to contribute to make it happen.
When asked about a time when he changed his mind about something really important, Bill said that he didn’t think technology was necessary, but it’s an integral part of the name process.
Bill had a long and winding path to becoming a brand craftsman. According to Bill, no one sets out to be a namer. He was a writer and editor for a drug company. Then, he wrote CME and pharmacist CE. Bill also ran an ad agency for a while. 15 years ago, he interviewed as a Brand Consultant at Addison Whitney. Becoming a Brand Consultant was a natural evolution of what he always did! Past experiences help Bill craft brands.
How could someone else get into this line of work? Be curious and creative. Love language and communicating ideas. Bill creates language. Addison Whitney also has pharmacists on staff. Pharmacists help with regulatory concerns, name validation, safety, and look and sound testing. Bill’s team plays a number of roles: writing, strategy, visual identity, design, mechanical design of a package, video production, campaign creation, website creation, and more.
If you like to create and collaborate, you could be a brander.

Dr. Cory Jenks earned his PharmD from the University of South Carolina in 2011 and completed a PGY1 residency at the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System in 2012. His past pharmacy experience has included time as a retail pharmacist, outpatient clinical pharmacist, and inpatient clinical pharmacist. Currently, he practices as an Ambulatory Care Clinical Pharmacy Specialist where he applies his passion for lifestyle interventions in the management of chronic disease. Cory is also an accomplished improv comedian, having started on his comedy journey in 2013. Since then, Cory has coached, taught, and performed improv for thousands of people. Today, Cory travels the country (or at least Zooms around) teaching other healthcare professionals how to apply the valuable skills of improv comedy to create a more adaptable, empathetic, and humanizing healthcare experience. When not working or performing improv, Cory enjoys playing racquetball, basketball and golf, exploring the science of disease management through lifestyle, and is currently earning his Master’s Degree in “Dad Jokes” with the help of his two sons Jacob and Henry.

Highlights from the interview
Cory uses his voice as a pharmacist and as an improv comedian. He works full-time in an ambulatory care setting under collaborative practice agreements. He manages a number of chronic disease states, including hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Cory does improv comedy on-stage. He also helps other healthcare providers learn the skills of improv to become more adaptable, empathetic, and create a humanizing health experience.
Healthcare providers can be robotic and unsympathetic toward patients, and when unexpected situations arise, healthcare professionals might struggle. Improv helps healthcare professionals create a better experience for patients; it helps them connect with patients. Sometimes, improv helps patients laugh. Other times, improv helps healthcare professionals listen and communicate better. It even helps transfer knowledge to patients in a way they understand, care about, and act on.
What’s the “Yes, and…” part of doing improv in healthcare? “Yes, and” is the one big rule of improv. Those two words form the basis of improv comedy. It means, “To agree and build together.”
You can’t, “Yes, and…” everything in healthcare. When the default answer is typically, “No,” improv helps healthcare professionals say, “Yes, and…” We find reasons to help when we say, “Yes.” Patients feel seen, heard, and understood as a result.
For conflict resolution, coming to agreements is helpful. “I agree that this situation isn’t ideal, but let’s try to work together…”.
Improv gives healthcare professionals another way to approach a problem, but the right mindset is needed.
Improv has rules, but within the rules, anything can happen. You do improv every time you interact with a patient. The question is, “How well do you do it?” Improv gives you the skills to make a more enjoyable experience, which will improve outcomes.
Cory says there are no mistakes in improv. There are only gifts. We can choose to make what is given to us into a gift.
We did some improv with 3 common situations community practice (retail) pharmacists encounter.
- “This isn’t covered by your insurance.”
- “We need to call the prescriber to change the medication.”
- “The drug is out of stock.”
Improv can help with “Chatty Cathys” and “Gabby Garys” too. Accept their reality (that they want to talk to you), but also acknowledge your reality as a pharmacist. “I want to hear you, but I also have 4 other people waiting. Give me the highlights. I don’t want you to feel ignored, but I am busy.”
You’re not supposed to talk about what you’re doing while you’re doing it. If you’re making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, don’t talk about making the sandwich while you’re making the sandwich! Talk to the other person about something else while you’re doing something routine.
Cory’s business ImprovRX offers public speaking, curriculum development consulting, and workshops. Visit www.coryjenks.com.
Cory delivers inspiring, improv-based keynote addresses.
He is available to help pharmacy schools (and other health professions) include improv in their curriculum.
During the pandemic, Cory’s improv workshops take place via Zoom. He talks to the participants, plays games, and teaches evidence-based improv comedy. What’s “evidence-based improv comedy?” Applying improv comedy to healthcare situations. Cory shares why improv is a useful tool in healthcare. There is medical literature showing the utility of role play and improv in making healthcare professionals better communicators and empathizers.
Workshop participants love playing games! It’s something that is not graded. There are no wrong answers. It’s ok to try new things in workshops. In comparison, trying improv on-the-job when you’re inexperienced may have consequences (patients may question your sincerity).
Cory’s improv workshops help participants try new things in a zero-pressure setting. He gets people out of their comfort zone, but they are happy about it even though they are challenging themselves. Pharmacists can earn CE credit through Cory’s workshops! It’s the most fun CE you’ll ever do!
We all have bad days, right? Bad days in kindergarten are different from bad days in college, married life, or the workplace. As time goes on, I’m learning what a bad day as a voice actor is.
In this episode, I talk about personal challenges I am facing now…still without coffee!! Every challenge I face makes me stronger and better equipped to deal with other challenges. I’m growing through what I’m going through, and I’m looking forward to better days ahead!
Mentioned in this episode: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst, illustrated by Ray Cruz (1972)
Listener discretion is advised. Some of the topics in this episode include children putting weird things in their mouths and poisonings.
Today’s episode is an interview with Angel Bivens. Angel is a pharmacist by training. She has experience in retail, hospital, home infusion, and mail order pharmacy, but her true passion is working at the Maryland Poison Center (MPC). The Maryland Poison Center is part of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.
Angel has been with the Maryland Poison Center for over 25 years. She spent the first 8 years as a specialist in poison information managing poisoning and overdose cases from the public and healthcare professionals. Then, She spent the next 17 years in the role of public education coordinator, ensuring the more than 4 million Marylanders in the MPC service area know about their services and learn ways to keep their families safe from poison dangers in an around their home. Now an assistant director, Angel oversees operations and public education. When she started this role in 2018, she combined her love for educating the public with responsibilities that ensure there is always someone there to help with a poisoning or overdose 24/7/365.
Angel completed her BS in Pharmacy at Duquesne University (Pittsburgh PA) and her MBA at University of Baltimore (Baltimore MD). She also holds the designation of Certified Specialist in Poison Information (CSPI) after successfully completing the American Association of Poison Control Centers certification examination in 1990, 1998, 2005, 2012, and 2019.

Highlights from the interview
Angel wore many hats over her years at the Maryland Poison Center. As a Poison Center Specialist, she managed poisonings and overdoses. As a Poison Center Educator, she educated the public and created educational materials. As an Assistant Director, she improves the visability of the poison center and forms partnerships in the community.
As a pharmacy student, Angel loved toxicology. As a young pharmacist, she heard about an opening at the MPC, applied, and got the job right away.
Pharmacists, nurses, and doctors staff most poison centers. Poison Center job applicants need to match the Center’s needs. In general, a PharmD with experience is required for pharmacist applicants. No additional residency or certification is needed.
Once hired, on-the-job training is extensive. It can take at least 3 months before a pharmacist is ready to manage cases independently after training. After managing 2,500 human exposure calls, pharmacists are required to sit for the CSPI Exam to become a Certified Specialist in Poison Information.
What resources do poison specialists use most often? Angel said, the poison center staff’s experience and knowledge base is a great resource! Because they manage 2,000-5,500 calls/year, they learn a lot. Over many years, that knowledge base is big! Other resources include Poisondex, Gold-Franks Toxicologic Emergencies, Lange: Poisonings and Overdoses, online journals, and consultants (medical and clinical toxicologists).
Angel told a memorable story about a call she answered from a teenager who OD’ed on aspirin. Back in the day, the poison center traced the call and called an ambulance. The patient got treatment and survived.
The best way for anyone to contact the poison center is 1-800-222-1222. It’s a “smart phone number” and directs you to the nearest poison center geographically. Poison Centers work together, so cases are seamlessly transferred to local poison centers assigned to your area. It even works on US cell phones outside the US. Calls are triaged, but all are managed.
There’s no such thing as the “busiest day of the year,” but on July 4 and Halloween, there are lots of calls related to glow sticks.
Poison centers field calls from a variety of callers: fire, EMS, parents of kids of all ages, children of elderly parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, Emergency Centers, critical care teams, pharmacists, and more. Reasons pharmacists call poison centers: Drug ID, drug-drug interactions, drug-supplement interactions, and non-medicine ingestions.
Angel says that knowing you’re actually helping someone is a great feeling. It’s very rewarding.
Angel knew it was time to change hats from poison specialist to educator when her young son wanted her to be home when he was home. Becoming an educator helped her have a more consistent schedule, mostly M-F on day shift. She used her marketing and communication skills as an educator. Plus, her MBA qualified her for the role.
Angel educates pharmacy students, medical students, paramedics, and more. MPC has a robust educational program, so she can sit in and listen to the toxicologist talk about cases.
The most unusual call Angel fielded was about a goat who ate something the owner thought the goat should not have eaten. Her database has some information about animals, but Poison Centers focus on humans. Angel gave the goat owner two phone numbers for animal poison centers, and the goat’s owner was happy to try those. I mentioned that this story reminded me of the children’s book Gregory the Terrible Eater.
One of the biggest challenges poison specialists face is managing oddball cases. New things don’t have a lot of literature to research. Sometimes, poison specialists need to consult with clinical toxicologists for oddball calls. Plus, the phones keep ringing while trying to manage oddball cases; that’s a challenge too. As an educator, a challenge is reaching people. As an Assistant Director, a challenge is getting the phones staffed. It’s also a challenge to get people to call vs using Google. Angel urges everyone to get the right answer right away from a trained poison specialist. Call a Poison Center 1-800-222-1222. Taking the time to look at Google and sort through search results might be misleading and delay treatment. Poison Centers make follow-up calls for exposures.
Poisonings can happen to anyone. Parents who work at poison centers have also had to call. It can happen to anybody.
Angel said that the best things about working at the poison center are helping people and the variety of exposure cases. Poison specialists don’t get bored. She likes to learn about new drugs, chemicals, TikTok videos, and things on the news, like “challenges.”
One thing people don’t realize about working at a poison center is that pharmacists, nurses, and others answer calls and respond without a script.
Over the years, Angel has worked different schedules. As a poison specialist, it varied. Present day, shifts on weekdays are 12 hours in length; weekend shifts are 10-hour shifts. Midnight-shift pharmacists work 7-on/7-off. Poison Specialists work holidays too. As an educator, she worked mostly days, but she worked some evenings and weekends for programs too. As an Assistant Director, Angel works typical administration hours.
Poison Prevention Week is March 21-27, 2021, to raise awareness about poisonings. According to the AAPCC’s website, the third full week in March each year is National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW), a week dedicated to raising awareness to poison control centers and the Poison Help Hotline (1-800-222-1222).
How can pharmacists get involved? Visit aapcc.org or reach out to your local poison center and ask to speak to the educator. Call 1-800-222-1222 to get in touch with the educator at the poison center. Pharmacists can set up a table with resources. Some poison centers are looking for volunteers. Ask educator how you can get materials: stickers, magnets, and brochures.
The Teach-Back Method helps me in the voiceover industry.
What is the Teach-Back Method? The teach-back method, as it relates to pharmacy, is a technique that confirms that a patient understands their medications and health information before leaving the pharmacy. Using their own words, the patient repeats what they heard the pharmacist say. We, as pharmacists, use plain language, and this is a shame-free activity that reinforces patient education.
What problem does the teach-back method solve? Some patients walk away from the pharmacy counter confused about their prescriptions. Pharmacists who use the Teach-Back Method can improve patient comprehension and information retention.
What does the Teach-Back Method look like, using an example? You show a patient how to use her Advair Diskus inhaler. The directions for use are lengthy. Once you finish, you ask her to tell you how she plans to use the inhaler. When she explains the directions for using the inhaler back to you, she might forget something. Sometimes, larger amounts of information lead to less recall or incorrect recall. We want our patients to manage their medication independently. The Teach-Back-Method gives pharmacists a chance to reteach or modify teaching if needed before the patient leaves the pharmacy so the patient feels confident. The Teach-Back Method helps pharmacists confirm a patients’ understanding before they leave the pharmacy.
Over the last 3 years, I have learned more about performance and recording, editing, and producing audio files than I ever thought I would learn! I have had one-on-one coaching, participated in webinars, gone to conferences, and more. There has been a lot to learn, and I am still learning.
After coaching sessions, I often ask for a couple of minutes to “teach back” what I learned and go over the plan for moving forward. Two examples I used in this episode were talking to my audiobook editor about Pozotron and coaching with Sean Pratt.
Using the Teach-Back Method as a pharmacist helped my patients understand their medications and health information. On the flip side, as a student in the voiceover (VO) industry, I understand techniques and acquire skills faster because of the Teach-Back Method.
I love using what I know from being a pharmacist to help me with my VO journey!

Highlights from the interview
After serving as a pharmacy manager for 7 years, DeLon didn’t feel he was helping patients like he wanted to. Advocacy work helped DeLon get his fire back.
GeriatRx is a pharmacist-led company that focuses on MTM. DeLon has a home office. His patients have concerns and issues managing medication (not just elderly). He has saved 20 patients more than $150,000 in healthcare costs.
DeLon shared a story about helping an elderly female patient who was taking 36 medications. She was like a walking zombie, and her family wanted to institutionalize her. GeriatRx served as a medical expert in court, identified medications that were on the Beers list, and attested that the patient was overmedicated. Using a team-based approach over time, DeLon helped deprescribe the medication list from 36 to 8. The patient’s quality of life improved, and she remained out of an institution. DeLon communicated well with the team, educated the patient and prescribers, earned trust from the patient and prescribers, and followed up in order to get the results the patient needed. This experience made DeLon want to help more people!
Incomplete comprehensive medication reviews (CMR’s) lead to problems. When products are not listed on the CMR, no one knows the patient is on them. As a result, additional meds are prescribed to counteract side effects from products that are not on the CMR.
DeLon experienced a gradual shift from full-time community practice to full-time consultant. He wanted to have his own consulting practice for years. 2 years ago (~2019), he started planning.
DeLon worked as a poison center pharmacist briefly after leaving full-time community practice. He helped with the COVID helpline in North Carolina, worked long hours, trained students and staff, and answered a large volume of calls.
Working at the poison information center sparked DeLon’s interest in advocating for minority communities to get the COVID vaccination. DeLon felt called to help. He has opportunities to volunteer whereas full-time pharmacists working in traditional settings do not [have opportunities to volunteer].
DeLon talked about myths and skepticism surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. Some think they are immune because they are young or healthy. Some do not believe that the vaccine is the same for all people regardless of color or job title.
Some refuse vaccination due to a lack of trust. DeLon referenced historical events that led to mistrust among minority communities, including population control and the Tuskegee Experiment involving African Americans in Alabama who had untreated syphilis.
Misinformation is out there, and it needs to be addressed. DeLon participates in panels as a speaker in North Carolina Communities. He likes to meet the audience where they are, and have a conversation. DeLon asks the audience,
“What’s holding you back from getting the vaccine?”
“How many people know someone who got COVID?”
“How many people know someone who died from COVID?”
“How many people have died from getting the vaccine?”
He is empathetic, but he also states the facts. DeLon recommends meeting people where they are, being empathetic, addressing fears and questions, using everyday language, and making points clear. Furthermore, DeLon recommends making no assumptions about what people know; start from scratch. DeLon has been on news to share how the vaccination will help.
DeLon joined a Toastmasters Club to improve his communication skills. Although his is already an excellent communicator, he struggles with the voice in the back of his head that tells him he is not a good communicator. Toastmasters helped DeLon with networking, building relationships, being aware of saying “crutch words” (such as, “Um, like, and so), and getting immediate feedback through evaluations. He is working on his Dynamic Speaker Pathway. DeLon’s Facebook LIVE broadcasts have helped him improve his communication skills too.
DeLon recommends pharmacists volunteer [doing something different] to gain experience, join organizations, and network. In his parting comments, he said, “Do something that makes you uncomfortable until you love it!”

How are baking cookies, completing a chemistry experiment, filling prescriptions, publishing a podcast, and narrating an audiobook similar? For each one, you need a plan, and you need some kind of workflow.
During my career transition from pharmacist to voice actor, I’ve had to figure a lot of new things out. There have been a lot of firsts, and I have referenced other times in my life when I also had to figure things out. Our life experiences help us with new experiences. I draw strength from the fact that I have figured out how to do a number of things in my life by making or following a plan and smoothing out the workflow.
Here are some examples:
- Baking cookies
- College chemistry lab
- Working midnights alone as a pharmacist at the age of 23
- Podcasting
- Narrating Audiobooks
Some of the “firsts” I’ve had during my transition from pharmacist to voice actor:
- Using recording software: Audacity and Studio One Artist
- Setting up a USB microphone
- Setting up an XLR microphone
- Using an audio interface
- Working with coaches via Skype and Zoom
- Using RX8 (audio repair software)
- Producing podcast episodes
- Recording audiobooks
After the first time I do something, I know what to expect, and it gets easier. It’s true of baking cookies, getting through chemistry lab, filling prescriptions on midnights, producing podcast episodes, and recording audiobooks. Planning and workflow help me get things done.
If you’re doing something for the first time, give yourself some grace. I do! Think back to some other times in your life when you had to learn something new. Did you have a recipe? Did you have a plan? Did you have all the equipment you needed? Did you watch someone else do it first like a cooking show host, a chemistry lab instructor, a pharmacist you trained with, a podcast coach, or an audiobook narration coach? I look at all the things I have learned how to do, and I’m amazing that I can do some pretty cool stuff. The first time is always hard. Learn from past experiences. Develop good workflow. Get things done.
Today’s episode is an interview with Sean Pratt. We know one another because he was my non-fiction audiobook narration coach.
Sean Pratt has been a working actor for over 30 years. He has been an audiobook narrator for 25 years (aka – Lloyd James), recording over 1,000 books in almost every genre and has received 8 AudioFile Magazine “Earphones” awards, 3 SOVAS nominations, and 5 “Audie” nominations from the Audio Publishers Association.
Sean is also the author of “ To Be or Wanna Be – The Top Ten Differences between a Successful Actor and a Starving Artist,” an actor’s how-to book that talks about approaches and behaviors that separate a thriving actor from a starving artist.
Currently, Sean coaches performers on audiobook narration technique, as well as teaching classes on and writes articles about the business of the Biz. www.seanprattpresents.com

The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters by Tom Nichols
Highlights from the interview
Sean uses his voice to educate and entertain.
Sean coaches two different types of narrators: authors narrating their own book(s) and professional audiobook narrators. He commented on both types of narration coaching during the interview.
How did Sean get started training authors to narrate their audiobooks? He was already training authors to narrate their own books. Then, he got the opportunity to do even more of that when Kenny Pappaconstantinou from Elephant Audiobooks asked Sean to train authors to perform their own books. Sean teaches authors how to give the best possible performance.
A narrator needs to consider: Is the performance entertaining? Does it hold the listener’s attention? Will the listener give you a poor review because the performance was bad? Will the listener return the book? Bad reviews can affect an author’s career. Casting the right person to narrate an audiobook is important!
What do authors who are narrators need to learn?
- Stamina: vocal, physical, and mental stamina are needed to narrate a book. Sean insists authors narrate 2 hours/day to practice.
- Rent studio space because of all the different hats a narrator must wear (producer, director, and engineer). It’s worth the time and money to hire studio space and a director if they can.
- Do the “gap exercise.” Compare your natural speaking voice to your narration voice. There is a gap there. Try to close the gap. On a scale from 1 to 100, authors should sound >90% entertaining, enthusiastic, and engaging while narrating their own text.
- Authors who are narrators maybe need 1-2 lessons one week apart. They will learn the Gap Exercise, when to breathe, scoring text (entire book), rhythm and melody, basic acting, paragraph colors (color = tone/communicating how they feel about what’s in the text).
There are several “voices” that must be used in narration: conversational voice, teaching voice, “voice of the other,” and documentary voice. Clarity is part of the entertainment value of non-fiction. The listener can pick up on cues by the type of voice the narrator uses.
How is preparing to be a professional audiobook narrator different from an author preparing to narrate their own book? Professional audiobook narrators need a broad and deep understanding of analyzing the text in order to narrate professionally. Different genres require different approaches. Sean’s curriculum provides broad exposure to approaching different genres as a narrator.
Audio quality is important. Noises are distracting. Audio quality affects listeners’ impression of the content in the book (the author’s idea). Poor audio quality lowers the listener’s experience. The listener retains less information with bad audio and a poor performance. You know you have a good narrator when your amazon reviews talk about content, not poor audio/bad performance.
Audiobooks help authors reach a broader audience. Having an audiobook could have a broader impact on their future as a writer. Opportunities arise for authors who make their books available as audiobooks (ex: speaking engagements). You never know WHO is going to listen to it. It’s smart for career goals. A Publisher might be interested in picking up the second book if the first was self-published.
Sean knows what it takes to be an engaging and entertaining audiobook narrator. He’s an effective teacher because he is also a narrator. He has narrated more than 1,000 audiobooks and won several awards. His most recent award is the 2020 AudioFile Magazine “Earphones” Award in the category of History & Biography for narrating Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker. It was one of Oprah’s Book Club books.
We discussed Sean’s change from actor to audiobook narrator and coach. Narrating audiobooks was the next life challenge after acting. Sean likes to evolve. He saw an opportunity to become an audiobook narrator. The current challenge is coaching. Anyone considering a life change needs to consider, “Will it be satisfying? Will it meet needs I have?”
Sean has classical theater training. He learned about text analysis, language, voice and diction, breathing, and physical comedy on-the-job. He learned how to approach spoken language like music: melody, rhythm, tempo, and how to speak it so listeners can hear it.
In 1996, he was introduced to audiobooks by another actor while working in Washington DC. His first books were fiction. He asked for non-fiction titles and narrated some lengthy ones in the beginning.
One of Sean’s most successful non-fiction audiobooks was The Body Keeps The Score by Van Der Kolk. Sean says there’s a higher calling in non-fiction audiobooks. He has had a hand in making listeners’ lives better. Sean has been narrating for 25-26 years. Positive feedback from fans fuels Sean to continue narrating.
Sean started getting serious about non-fiction audiobook coaching 6 years ago (~2015).
Sean gave advice for anyone considering a career transition. It’s easy to live a lifestyle we think we’re supposed to have. We get handcuffed to it. Then, if our job doesn’t turn out to be as fulfilling as we thought it would be, we find ourselves stuck, and that’s a horrible place to be in (feeling emotionally and psychologically calcified). The challenge will be to scale down to open up the space (time and money) to pursue something else and embrace a new challenge. Leaving a full-time job (the devil you know) can be scary.
Sean said, “Life is way too short to be unhappy.” If you really want to do something else, find out what it takes to do it. He also said, “The only permanent thing in life is change.” Sean says those who are best able to manage change are the ones looking ahead to the next challenge or opportunity.
Sean’s current challenge is being a nonfiction audiobook narration coach. It’s unique. He has a curriculum that also includes the business of the business. He has 100 students currently and sees about 23 students/week. He’s happy with his life, loves teaching, and narrates 25 books/year now instead of 50.
Sean wrapped up the interview with some advice for authors thinking of performing their own piece.
- Build stamina. Read out loud.
- Get coaching with Sean or someone else.
- Work with an audio engineer and a director in a studio to get the highest-quality audio possible.
- Remember how it can affect your career in the long run.
- This could be your gateway to something else.
Today’s episode is about some major tech changes I made in January. Change makes me uncomfortable, but I survived, and I grew because I challenged myself. Here’s the short list of what I did.
- I stopped drinking coffee (January 8, 2021)!! ☕️😱 I have acid reflux. Coffee was making my voice hoarse. Do I sound any different in this episode? Message me. Let me know! I’m trying to go without coffee at all until May 1, 2021. I replaced my morning cup of coffee with early morning workouts from a YouTube channel called Team Body Project.
- I removed 100% of my voiceover projects and podcasts from my laptop and saved them on an external hard drive
- I updated the operating system on my laptop (from Mojave to Big Sur)
- I updated my audio recording software (from Studio One Artist Version 4 to Version 5)
- I upgraded my audio repair software, which ironically is called RX (from RX7 to RX8). Ironic because “RX” is an abbreviation for “pharmacy." RX8 helps me remove mouth noises and clicks, among other undesirable noises, from my audio.
- I changed my audio interface (from Focusrite Scarlett Solo to Presonus Studio 26). An audio interface connects an XLR microphone, like my Audio Technica 2035 condenser microphone (AT2035) to my computer.
- I asked for help because I didn’t know how to do some of this stuff on my own. Big thanks to Don Baarns for helping me make sure everything was installed properly on my MacBook Air and my iMac! Don knows Studio One Artist and RX better than anyone I know, and I trust him with my machines. Don is fun to work with, really patient, and a great teacher.
As a newbie in the VoiceOver industry, this was the first time I’ve ever updated my DAW, RX, my Operating System, and my Audio interface at the same time. It was scary! Even though all this updating and upgrading made me feel uncomfortable, I survived, and I grew because of it. I’m all set for 2021, and next time I have to update and upgrade, it won’t be as scary.
In closing, it’s ok to NOT know everything. Being a second-career professional in any industry can be scary. I’m making the switch from pharmacist to voice actor. When you are going through something new or scary, use your talents, do you research, and ask for help when you need to. In the end, you will figure it out and do amazing things! If I can do it, you can do it!

Assistance dogs can be found in the workplace and in the community. Pharmacists serve people of all abilities, and we occasionally see a service animal with a patient. This interview is a great opportunity to hear how assistance dogs come into our patients lives and how pharmacists can actually help connect patients with assistance dogs. On a personal note, my son had a therapy dog. I talk about my family’s experience during the interview.
Today’s episode is an interview with Jenny Barlos, Client Services Director for the Ability Center Assistance Dogs in Sylvania, OH. Jenny joined Assistance Dogs as the Client Services Director in August, 2007. She is responsible for everything from the consumer’s perspective, including determining eligibility of potential service dog users, organizing and facilitating their training and graduate activities, doing graduate follow up visits, and administering the public access test for the service dogs placed by the program. She provides advocacy services for graduates who experience public access issues as well as discusses advocacy information for businesses and the public. She does many educational presentations about service dogs including what they do to help people, as well as the rights and responsibilities of having a service dog. She serves as an accreditation assessor for Assistance Dogs International, visiting service dog programs throughout North America to help determine which organizations are maintaining standards set within the industry. To learn more about the Ability Center Assistance Dogs Program, visit https://www.abilitycenter.org.
Highlights from the interview
Jenny loves what she does!
Assistance dogs can increase independence for individuals with challenges. Dogs help people stay active and feel included in their communities, which reduces feelings of isolation. Ability Center Assistance Dogs trains and places service dogs and therapy dogs.
The Assistance Dogs Program is part of the Ability Center’s 17-acre campus in Sylvania, OH. It’s very accessible and comfortable for people of all abilities.
There are many types of assistance dogs. Ability Center Assistance Dogs provides therapy dogs to individuals (with autism or developmental delays) and schools as well as service dogs to help individuals with physical challenges. Jenny helps educate the community about types of assistance dogs. For example, therapy dogs don’t have protected public assess rights like service dogs.
Jenny educates medical professionals about assistance dogs. Pharmacists, nurses, doctors, students, and more can refer patients to the Ability Center Assistance Dogs Program. Visit abilitycenter.org for success stories, inquiry forms, and volunteer opportunities. Dog-loving volunteers are needed!
Pairing an assistance dog with an applicant is a process. Personalities and needs must be considered.
My son learned new skills because of his dog. We had a good experience. For example, my son's classmates read to him AND his dog “Bond.” So, he gained friends. He was also motivated to learn how to scoop dog food, which was a skill he did not have before the dog came into the picture. It takes time to learn what the dog can do and to teach the dog new things.
The Ability Center Assistance Dogs has a dog breeding program. One of their recent litters has names related to beverages. “Dr. Pepper” is a black lab from that litter. They call her “Pepper.”
Training teams takes time: 1 week in-person training for therapy dogs and 2 weeks in-person training for service dogs. Extra time gives a service dog and their teammate the training and support needed to navigate public access situations
Inmates at prisons help train assistance dogs. Inmates are available to work, and they do a good job. Training dogs teaches empathy and unconditional love. Plus, it gives inmates an opportunity to contribute back to society. Inmates learn job skills and are motivated to maintain good behavior to stay in the training program. It also allows them to feel more human and to be a better human being.
Donations are welcome. Scout troops, school classrooms, reading groups, high school student service projects, and individual children have donated in the past. See https://www.abilitycenter.org for a list of items needed. Monetary donations are always welcome too. Jenny likes to talk to donors to make a connection between their donation and the recipient. She brings a dog and shares information about the Assistance Dogs Program, including how to be a responsible citizen around an assistance dog.
Think of Assistance Dogs as a tool for safety and independence. It’s best not to distract a dog or touch it while it is work.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought challenges to the Assistance Dogs Program. For example, surface (leash, collar, etc) to human virus transmission is a minor consideration. Luckily, dogs do not get or transmit the coronavirus, and they do not need to wear masks.
Jenny shared a lovely story about a young grandmother who met her neighbors because her assistance dog got her out into the community and provided an ice-breaker for conversations. This woman met the inmate who trained her dog, and they connected because the dog made them both “seen” to those around them in a good way.
I’m breaking my usual format to celebrate an important milestone: one year in podcasting!
I launched The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast in December 2019. Weekly episodes started on January 25, 2020.
If you’re new to the show, this is a weekly podcast. I alternate solo shows and interview shows. The solo shows are about my career change from pharmacist to voice actor, and the interview shows feature a variety of people who use their voices to advocate, educate, or entertain.
A lot has happened over the past year, and I feel fortunate that I was able to keep up with my weekly show for an entire year! I published 80 podcast episodes in my first year, including 26 interview shows. I shared conversations with people I know either as a pharmacist, a voice actor, or my journey from pharmacist to voice actor. I enjoy sharing how my guests use their voices to advocate, educate, or entertain. After all, those are three things I do! I connect with people on a deeper level who advocate for something, educate in some way, or entertain. Some guests - I’ve known for years. Others, I meet in other ways, through my life experiences, volunteer work, social media, or - in the case of LonghaulPaul Pelland in episode 21 - a motorcycle show. My guests are great, and I appreciate them.
I plan to keep my weekly schedule and alternate solo shows and interview shows.
Today’s episode is an interview with Dave Jackson. He’s a podcasting coach, podcast host, and author. If you’re new to the show, I’ve mentioned Dave Jackson before. This is the man who helped me plan and launch my podcast!

Highlights from the Interview
Dave Jackson helped me start my podcast. I went through the School of Podcasting coursework in October 2019, planned my podcast in November 2019, and launched it in December 2019. It worked for me, and I would recommend the School of Podcasting to anyone, especially pharmacists. I attended office hours and lunch meetings for additional support from Dave. The additional coaching was valuable. Getting help from the School of Podcasting Facebook Group was also valuable. When I wanted input and ideas from other podcasters, Dave and the students in the Facebook Group were happy to help. In summary, I had a good experience with the School of Podcasting.
Much like pharmacists are one of the most accessible healthcare professionals in the US, Dave Jackson is a very accessible podcasting coach.
Podcasting opens doors. People will be guests on a podcast who don’t typically make themselves available to the general public.
Having a “why” for starting a podcast is important. Knowing who the podcast is for is important too. When a podcast host has a clear picture of why they are podcasting and who they’re talking to, it helps them determine what to talk about and ultimately helps them achieve their “why.”
My podcast has helped me get back out there socially after isolating myself for years to focus on raising a child with a disability. I have positioned myself as a pharmacist/voice actor/podcast host publicly and made connections, built relationships, and grown my social media connections because of my podcast.
Should someone have a solo show or an interview show? Both! Interview shows build your network. Solo shows grow your influence.
Because of podcasting, Dave secured 3 jobs. Most recently, he joined Libsyn.
Dave and I both participated in the 30-day NaPodPoMo challenge. NaPodPoMo is "baptism by fire.” The challenge gets you comfortable with podcasting in 30 days.
You don’t have to publish everything you record. It’s ok to practice your podcasts before publishing them.
With solo podcasts, I create show notes before I record. If I make a mistake, I can edit and redo.
Do you have a podcast? Do you go to conferences? You could get interviews at conferences. This could lead to press for the conference and sponsorship for your podcast. Dave mentioned Glenn the Geek from Horse Radio Network. Glenn got sponsorships after hosting a booth at a horse-related conference. Plus, his listeners/target audience was there, and he got to meet them.
Dave gave examples of podcast monetization from his book: Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood. In one example, Mark from Beyond Bourbon St. Podcast increased business for a New Orleans-based tour guide company and got them as a sponsor in return.
Chris Krimitsos, Chief Creative Officer of the Podfest Multimedia Expo recommends Dave’s book to those interested in making money with a podcast.
Pharmacies can have podcasts. Sharing the “101” stuff on the podcast helps customers be more informed. Once patients/clients/the community find you, they will consume your other episodes and maybe even your entire back catalog of episodes. In this case, a podcast is not your business. It’s your business card. You can make warm leads and build a relationship through a podcast. If needed, you can hire someone to do editing, artwork, and a blog post (show notes).
Today’s episode is an update on goals I’m tackling in January 2021. This is the first solo podcast of 2021. If you are new to the show, welcome! I’m an Ohio licensed pharmacist, but I am not employed as a practicing pharmacist at this time. Instead, I’m focused on my voiceover career.

Dave Jackson and The School of Podcasting
There are a number of vocabulary terms for what I do and many ways to explain what I do. I’m a…voiceover talent/voice actor/voiceover artist/audiobook narrator/medical narrator/eLearning narrator. I also narrate explainer videos. It’s also ok to abbreviate what I do with just two letters: “VO.” (That stands for voiceover.) Feel free to follow me or connect on social media. (I appreciate feedback about the podcast, so please reach out if you have comments or suggestions.)
It’s been a while since I could catch my breath and get back to work. My husband just finished his first “peak season” as an Operations Manager at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. He was out of the house about 70 hours/week from Thanksgiving until Christmas. He’s back to being out of the house more like 50 hours/week. It’s a big improvement. I really need his support at home.
Our kids had an 18-day winter break from school. They are “kind of” back to school starting this week. Recording, editing, and producing audio is something I need to do for my business, and I can only do it when I have uninterrupted quiet time in my recording space at home.
This week, I’m finally getting back to work. Over the past few weeks, I have been updating my business goals for the year 2021. Now that I have written business goals, I went through and identified my biggest priorities.
I’m preparing to narrate a book by Eric Bohannon and Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon. It’s called IMPACT Pharmacist: Start Your Own Wellness Practice and Leave Your Retail Pharmacy Job Behind! After I finish their audiobook, I have another one lined up right after that. I’m excited to get started!
My top three business goals for January are:
- Improve my performance. How? By practicing my narration skills and training with a coach. If Improv Class were an option this winter, I would also enroll in an improv class.
- Upgrade my audio engineering software and train to use it better so I can reduce editing time and improve audio quality.
- Narrate my first two audiobooks of the year!
*I have a 4-page document of goals for 2021, and I’ll reveal more as 2021 continues.
As far as personal goals, I have a lot on my plate. I have three urgent personal goals in 2021.
- Write my personal goals and identify priorities. I revisit these weekly.
- Prepare for my older son’s upcoming school meetings. There are two on February 1st.
- Get ready to become my older son’s legal guardian when he turns 18 next month.
I do really well with goals because it helps me plan each day. I give myself about three hours/day to work on my business. The rest of the day goes toward getting as much done as possible while the kids are away or busy with school so I can focus on them and my husband when they are home.
This week, I’m trying to catch up from the kids’ winter break. It feels really good to be productive again.
Balancing work, family, home, and self-care is a challenge for me. I try set clear boundaries and try not to take on too much. I love what I do. I love being a wife and a Mom. I feel very lucky that I am also allowed to maintain my pharmacist license and use my voice to narrate audiobooks and voiceover projects. As long as I keep expectations realistic, I don’t get too overwhelmed.
On the podcast next week, I’ll share my interview with Dave Jackson from The School of Podcasting. He taught me how to build and launch my podcast, and I’m looking forward to sharing our conversation with you. He’s a great teacher. If you want to check out Dave Jackson, his podcast, or the School of Podcasting prior to next week’s episode, visit schoolofpodcasting.com.
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon. She’s a Pharmacist, Entrepreneur, Author, and Business Coach. Some pharmacists are looking for a way to leave their current job and try something else. Dr. Asha and I are ringing in the new year with a conversation about how she and her husband Eric help pharmacists find their passion and purpose so they can make the impact they want to make.

Medipreneurs Conference
Dr. Asha was my guest on episode 9 of The Pharmacist’s Voice® Podcast. She’s my first, second-time guest! She and I met at the first-ever Medipreneurs Conference in April 2018. It’s a conference for healthcare entrepreneurs. I love the supportive community I found there, and I would recommend it to any potential or current healthcare entrepreneurs.
Dr. Asha spent 20 years in retail pharmacy feeling like she was feeding people's illnesses, which caused stress and led to job burnout. She wanted to make a difference in the healthcare world and started her own successful holistic wellness practice. Then, she realized her passion went much further. She wanted to help other Pharmacists do the exact same thing - find their own passion and purpose to be able to make the IMPACT they wish to make in this world.
Highlights from the interview
Asha and her husband Eric work well together in their business coaching practice. She has the experience of being a retail pharmacist and a wellness practice entrepreneur. She provides clinical input, mindset coaching, and input on systems and processes. Eric has experience bringing service-based organizations to the marketplace. He brings value to clients who need help with the the business pieces of owning their own business.
The book Impact Pharmacist provides chronological steps an entrepreneur needs to take to get their business up and running. According to Asha, the chronology in the book sets you up for success. Learn fast. Avoid risks. Successful entrepreneurs are risk avoiders!
Eric and Asha help two groups: entrepreneur novices and those who already have a business. Idea conception comes first to help clients make the impact they want to make.
Asha and Eric have a one-on-one coaching program. Using their areas of strength, Asha and Eric take the “heavy lifting” off their clients’ plate. Their online course comes out in February 2021. The course will have handouts, homework, and steps in chronological order.
Asha and Eric wrote IMPACT Pharmacist: Start Your Own Wellness Practice and Leave Your Retail Pharmacy Job Behind! together. It is available on Kindle and in paperback. The audiobook will be coming out in spring 2021.
Eric and Asha help their coaching clients determine demand for a proposed service, target market, pricing, and messaging.
Making an impact is a theme in our conversation, and the term “ripple effect” relates to the book’s cover artwork. (IMPACT Pharmacist: Start Your Own Wellness Practice and Leave Your Retail Pharmacy Job Behind!)
Dreaming is important, but Asha and Eric are realistic. They discuss available time to work and income expectations with individual clients. Some people want a full-time job. Others want a part-time job.
Asha shared two client transformation stories.
Asha helps clients find their passion. To learn more, contact her about the “Passion to Purpose” piece of her coaching practice. It takes a lot of thought to figure out what you want.
Pivoting is important. You can dream; then pivot; and then dream again. Don’t let noise in, and be true to yourself.
Consider opportunities carefully. They might lead to something, like a job!
Happy New Year everyone!

Highlights from the episode
In high school, Adam wanted to pursue veterinary medicine. His Mom’s battle with stage 4 colon cancer and frequent trips to the pharmacy changed his path. He became interested in pharmacy as a career.
The first time Adam applied to pharmacy school, he was rejected. When he applied a second time, he was wait-listed. Eventually, he was the last student admitted to the program in his class.
Adam became a leader at a young age. First as an Eagle Scout. Then, in pharmacy school, he became Class President. His classmate Jimmy mentored him and encouraged him to become class president. He saw it as a responsibility, not a title. He wanted to show up better than his class expected him to.
Adam fell in love in love with fitness at a young age. The Fit Pharmacist brand was born from a Fit Pharmacist Friday blog. He takes The Fit Pharmacist name seriously, like a responsibility. He has a mission statement.
Adam started public speaking with a nutrition talk he gave to faculty at Point Park University in July 2018. He felt called to pursue public speaking more intentionally. He became a professional speaker in 2019. He committed to at least 20 speaking engagements to groups of 15 or more people within 12 months, and he did it! He is the first PharmD to become a professional speaker in the National Speakers Association (NSA). He even spoke in Ireland in 2020!
Your personal brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. Adam helps people discover their competitive advantage and what they are passionate about. It’s not about degrees, residencies, fellowships, and certifications. A person’s unique insight and experience is important to a personal brand. Everyone must identify who they are trying to reach. Adam helps a range of individuals, including pre-pharmacy students, P1-P4 students, new graduates, and all pharmacists post graduation (BS Pharm and PharmD).
On today’s episode, I share some behind-the-scenes details on how long it takes for me to produce audio.
Time management is a topic I both love and struggle with. I love the idea of it. Who doesn’t want a perfectly-balanced schedule? Every day, I have to make a to-do list, set priorities, and make tough choices. I have more ambition and tasks on my to-do list than I have time to get it all done. Over the years, I have created to-do lists, refined my processes, improved my time-management skills, ended up with realistic expectations, and made progress.
One of my favorite books of all time is Time Management from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern. It really helped me understand how I spend my time, how long it takes me to do things, and when to choose one task over another. I would recommend this book anyone looking for ways to improve their self-awareness and time-management skills.
I give myself about 3 hours per day to work on my business. My family gets the rest of the time. How did I come up with this number? I studied myself. I took notes about how long it takes me to do things, and I try not to bite off more than I can chew. Knowing how long it takes me to produce audio is essential.
When I’m recording a project, I’ll work for maybe an hour at a time. Noise cuts into my work day. I don’t record when loud noises interrupt my audio, so an hour can quickly turn into longer than an hour.
If I’m recording a podcast interview, it might take me up to 2 hours to do pre-interview stuff, record the interview, and give post-interview directions. I ignore the jets, garbage trucks, and so on during podcast interviews. It’s not a professional sample of my work that’s recorded in my professional home studio. I’m in my office with a podcasting microphone. It’s a conversation with an interesting person who uses their voice to advocate, educate, or entertain. I give myself some grace and upload podcast interviews with different standards.
I produce audio of varying lengths throughout the week. Whether I’m auditioning for something or working on a project, it takes time to get from reading the content with my eyes to having a finished audio file.
With the exception of podcast episodes, everything starts off the same way. Before I can record anything, I have to read the content with my eyes, including directions. Does the client want a conversational read? Do they want it to sound more clinical? Directions are important. Pronunciations are important too.
It takes time to set up my recording space. I have a dedicated space for recording voiceover projects and solo podcast episodes. It takes time to get myself in the space, open up my recording software, pick a template, and plug in my audio interface. Then, I have to set the script up too. If it’s something short, like 15-30 seconds, I might record two or three takes. I like to batch my recordings. If I’m going to go to the trouble of getting set up and asking everyone in the house to be quiet, I’m going to record as much stuff as I can.
In closing, I have developed my business time management skills over the past 3 years during my journey from pharmacist to voice actor. A 30-second audition might take 10 minutes to produce. Knowing how long it takes me to produce finished audio files is essential. I’m ok with only working about 3 hours per day for now. If and when I have more time, I understand how I spend my time, how long it takes me to do things, and when to choose one task over another.
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Lauren Castle, a Functional Medicine Pharmacist. She is also Functional Medicine advocate, and she educates pharmacists about integrating Functional Medicine into the profession of pharmacy. We also talk about motorcycles in this episode!

Dr. Lauren Castle PharmD, MS is the founder of the Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance (FMPhA), and she works as a Market Health and Wellness Director for Walmart in Dayton, OH.
She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Ohio Northern University in 2013 and her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from University of Western States in 2018.
Lauren began her career as a technician for an independent pharmacy in Monroe, MI before moving to Dayton, OH and joining Walmart 9 years ago as an intern. Upon graduating, she spent three years as a Pharmacy Manager in Springfield, OH; Livonia, MI; and Flint, MI before becoming a Pharmacy Clinical Services Manager in the Metro Detroit area. In 2017, she returned to Ohio as a Market Health and Wellness Director for 11 Walmart stores. In 2019, she was selected to attend the Walmart Shareholders Meeting as a social media champion. She has also completed a special project assignment on nutrition initiatives in Health and Wellness at Walmart’s Home Office in Bentonville, AR.
Upon discovering functional medicine in 2015, Lauren began sharing her passion through speaking engagements at the local, state, and national level. Realizing the lack of resources for pharmacists in this emerging field, she founded the Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance (FMPhA) in 2017. The goal of the Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance is to unite pharmacists, practitioners, patients, and organizations in its mission to integrate pharmacists into the practice of Functional Medicine, and Functional Medicine into profession of pharmacy.
Lauren lives with her husband Seth and their two cats, Olive and Pickle. Together, they enjoy attending concerts, traveling, and riding motorcycles. Lauren currently has a 2017 Harley Davidson Low Rider S.
Highlights from the interview
Lauren is an advocate for Functional Medicine. She is not seeing patients privately at this time. In previous years, she worked as a community pharmacist seeing patients. That’s when she discovered Functional Medicine Pharmacy and started layering it into patient consultations.
What problem do Functional Medicine Pharmacists (FMPh’s) solve for their patients? FMPh’s find how health problems start by looking at the root cause(s). It’s like a puzzle. “Puzzle piecing with patients to see the big picture.”
Two health conditions Functional Medicine Pharmacists can address are diabetes and autoimmune thyroid disease.
One resource Functional Medicine Pharmacists like to use is Natural Medicines Database.
Functional Medicine Pharmacists optimize patients’ medication and supplement regiments with nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle choices. You don’t have to get patients off all meds. Instead, ensure medications match indications and are being used appropriately. Once health conditions are under control, de-prescribing in a safe way may be possible.
Functional Medicine Pharmacists are team players. They work together with other providers.
The Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance started as a Facebook group after an Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) CE presentation and grew from 15 members to 1,500 members in 3 years. In 2020, a Membership site was launched. Visit www.fmpha.org for resources, discounts, CE, conference information, and [in the future] in-person retreats.
Lauren also does public speaking outside FMPhA. Examples include OPA, MPA, online conferences, and podcasts.
Who joins FMPhA? The target market is pharmacists. It’s a professional pharmacist organization. Pharmacists can learn skills, network with other pharmacists, and get help that is needed to start a Functional Medicine Pharmacy Practice.
Before they encounter the Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance, pharmacists wonder, “How do I do this as a pharmacist?” Once they connect, they feel like they have found their tribe! They connect with other FMPh’s, talk about FMPh, and get excited about doing FMPh.
Lauren creates an inclusive environment with FMPhA. Pharmacists need education and best practices. She welcomes them and meets their needs. They can network, learn about business, hear about events, etc.
Lauren is a motorcycle rider! Her current bike is a 2017 Harley Davidson Low Rider S. Her previous two bikes were a 2015 H-D Sportster and a 1974 KZ400 Cafe Racer Bike. Lauren feels it’s critical for pharmacists to have hobbies. Hobbies help prevent burnout. Burnout can even happen when doing too much stuff you love. She loves to be outside and ride with her husband. Lauren learned to ride by participating in a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. The hardest part was learning the friction point (clutch).

Libsyn is a wonderful podcast host! Highly recommend!
Today, I made it to the finish line of a 30-day podcasting challenge called NaPodPoMo. It stands for National Podcast Post Month. November is National Podcast Post Month, and the goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days. I did it!
Thank you Jennifer Navarette, founder of NaPodPoMo for including me in the challenge and for creating a supportive Facebook Community for participants to network and encourage one another. Congratulations to my fellow challenge participants! I also want to thank Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting for making me aware of NaPodPoMo. I heard about it on one of his podcast episodes.
What did I learn from NaPodPoMo?
- It’s ok to try new things. I changed the format on many of the extra episodes this month and talked about things other than my journey from pharmacist to voice actor.
- I created episode artwork that was different from my usual episode artwork.
- I learned that coming up with something to talk about every day and finding time to talk about it is a challenge for me personally.
- I got more comfortable with shorter podcast show notes.
- NaPodPoMo was a significant time commitment for me because I already have a lot of other commitments. Was it worth it? Yes. I’m glad I did it? Of course! Am I glad it’s done? Definitely! Is my family glad the challenge is over? Yes!
- I missed out on NaPodPoMo in 2019, because I did not launch my podcast until December 4, 2019. I’m glad I tried NaPodPoMo in 2020. I had the experience I needed this year to make me feel comfortable with daily podcasting.
- I learned quickly that creating bite-sized podcast episodes (5 minutes or less) were my comfort zone for NaPodPoMo. I have a lot of responsibilities right now and not much time.
I’m looking forward to returning to my regular schedule this Friday, December 4. It’s an interview with Dr. Lauren Castle, a Functional Medicine Pharmacist.

Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro Online Course
USP Dictionary Online
United States Adopted Names Council
I’m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo. It stands for National Podcast Post Month. November is National Podcast Post Month, and the goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days.
Most of my episodes this month have talked about my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. You can find it at kimnewlove.com or visit thepharmacistsvoice.com and click on the store button.
In today’s episode, I talk about reconciling some differences about drug name pronunciations and share some thoughts and feelings I had while I developed my course.
“Reconcile” in this podcast episode means, “to accept something unpleasant.”
Making the right choices can be hard. I had to make some tough choices when I created my drug name pronunciation course, including getting my information from the right sources.
Examples of differences I had to reconcile while building my pronunciation course.
- Identical spelling does not mean identical pronunciation. Ex: hydroxyzine and hydroxychloroquine. Ex: oxytocin, oxycodone, and oxybutynin. You have to look at the written pronunciation from the USP Dictionary Online, not the spelling of the drug name. Drug names are not normal English words. They can’t be sounded out. Knowing where to separate the drug name into syllables and how to pronounce those syllables are explained in the USP Dictionary Online.
-
I used pronunciations established by those who name brand and generic drugs in the US. Drug names need to be pronounced a certain way so we are all on the same page with safety in mind.
-

I propose institutions of higher learning teach drug name pronunciations. “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Professors have an opportunity to teach students how to pronounce drug names when they are young, so they will be able to do it for their entire careers.

Reconciling the difference between living at their goal weight with proper diet and exercise on a special TV show set with a supportive trainer and returning to “the real world” takes effort. That’s why contestants often relapse. Those contestants slip into survival mode. They do what they have to do to survive. I’m sure they find a happy medium between the perfect performance we saw on TV and the obese person we saw on day one. I’m not judging. I’m just saying that reconciling differences is real. TV Shows like the biggest loser are a great example because the transformation is physical. We can see someone lose weight as they reconcile differences with diet and exercise. They accept their unpleasant reality and move forward because they want to win the

- Not taught in schools
- People accept what they see on the internet instead of looking into the root of the drug. Why wouldn’t you go to the people who named the drug to learn how to pronounce it?

- I would like there to be a comprehensive database for drug name pronunciations, and I would like to be part of the voiceover team for the project!
There is a $348 pay wall between the right answers, and people want free. People are impatient, and they want whatever is available NOW. The people who put out the dictionary should also put out a pronunciation service.
People want a pharmacology lesson, but really they also need a pronunciation lesson.

Have you ever heard of the curse of knowledge? It’s a cognitive bias. Sometimes, when someone knows a lot about something, they assume others know what they know. For example, when I joined my husband’s fantasy football league years ago, everyone assumed I knew about bye weeks, free agency, the waiver wire, the IR list, and checking my roster for last-minute injuries before setting my line-up every week. In the early days, I didn’t check my fantasy football line-up on-time, so I accidentally started players who were on bye weeks. I lost a few match-ups, but I learned quickly and won some games.
The curse of knowledge happens with drug names too. It’s dangerous to believe that everyone knows what we know. We can learn from someone else’s mistake, near miss, or other event.
The ISMP publishes The List of Confused Drug Names. The list contains look-alike and sound-alike (LASA) drug name pairs. Some drug names on the list have “tall man” or “mixed case letters,” which makes it easy to spot the differences in their appearance. Just being aware of look alike and sound alike drug names could save a life. In Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro, I include some listening practice using the ISMP’s list of confused drug names so my students are aware of potential errors.

On today’s episode, I recommend the Audio Technica 2100X-USB microphone for podcasting, pod-guesting, and online meetings. Today is Black Friday in the US, and Cyber Monday is coming up Monday, November 30. If you’ve been thinking about buying a microphone, now might be a good time to buy.
Knowing which microphone to buy can be intimidating. When I first went into the voiceover industry, I didn’t know what to buy or whose advice to take. I also didn’t know how to adjust my computer’s sound preferences so my microphone was the audio input. No matter which microphone you buy, make sure you go to your computer’s “sound preferences” and tell your computer which microphone to use. Just plugging a microphone into your computer does not guarantee your computer will use it. You have to intentionally tell your computer what to use. I learned this the hard way. Learn from my mistake, and don’t let it happen to you!
Researching microphones as a podcaster was a little overwhelming. Too many choices. I needed help from someone who could boil it down to a couple of choices and present them to me with some empathy. (Some reviewers forget what it’s like to be a beginner!) Fortunately, I had a fantastic podcasting coach named Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting. He recommended Audio Technica 2100 (aka ATR2100). I use my ATR2100 for podcast interviews, but the ATR2100 is no longer made. The newer model is the ATR2100X-USB microphone.
If you buy a microphone, you will need a stand. You will also need something to keep your spit from flying onto the microphone. Buy a ball-type wind screen or a pop filter.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In this short episode, I share some Thanksgiving memories from growing up in Northwest Ohio. Each year, I watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (movie) with my family, visited Mom's family and Dad's family, ate traditional foods (turkey and pumpkin pie), and took home leftovers in Cool Whip containers.
I am thankful for health and family. Thank you for listening to my podcast!

The topic today is emergency preparedness. It can be hard to know when something bad is going to happen. It’s essential to be prepared. A medication list can be helpful. It can be as simple as a piece of notebook paper with your name, date of birth, name of each medication, strength, directions, (how you take it), and the reason you take it. If you want to, you can even add the name of the prescriber(s) and the name and phone number of the pharmacy that fills your prescriptions.
Medication lists are important, and so is knowing how to pronounce drug names and recognize them as a listener. Medication lists are great for routine check-ups with healthcare providers as well as emergency situations. Plus, patients can take a medication list to the pharmacy so the pharmacist can check for problems, such as allergies, therapeutic duplications, and interactions. Getting everyone on the same page is very helpful!
The Thanksgiving holiday is this week in the US. Families are reconnecting. Make sure to check up on the ones you love and help them prepare for the unexpected.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “See one, do one, teach one? Another way to say it is, “Learn one, do one, teach one.” What does it mean? It’s a way to describe how knowledge is transferred. Some people are great at seeing, doing, and teaching. Some only need to learn and do. They never end up teaching. But, it’s in the teaching that we are forced to relate something we know to someone else. (Maybe someone who does not know what we know.) Your level of mastery will be tested when you have to transfer your knowledge to someone who is on a different level.
When I created my drug name pronunciation course, I put a good deal of thought into teaching those who needed additional learning strategies. I know what it’s like to learn something for the first time. Some people just need to hear the correct pronunciations. Others need things broken down or explained in different ways. I cover a lot of different angles in my course.

Today’s episode is about sounding out drug names. Life would be easier if we could just sound out drug names to get the right pronunciation. Wouldn’t it? For example, when a person learns how to read, they say each sound in a word slowly and then say the sounds together more quickly. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy with generic drug names. That’s why there are resources like the USP Dictionary Online; it provides written pronunciations of US Adopted Names. In my course, I teach how to break down written pronunciations so you can sound them out.

This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro.
In today’s episode, I share few ways to find brand-name drug pronunciations. Finding the official pronunciations for some brand-name drugs can be a challenge. Unfortunately, there isn’t a dictionary for them.
Brand name drugs have unique names for safety reasons. Confusingly similar drug names can lead to errors. Errors can cause harm. Brand drug names are usually shorter and easier to pronounce. It shouldn’t be that hard to pronounce them, but sometimes it is; even for me.
There are many ways to find brand name drug pronunciations. Try looking inside package inserts and medication guides that are physically attached to brand name drugs or in the product packaging. If you don’t work in a pharmacy, but you want to access the pronunciations, go to the FDA’s website. Search for package inserts and medication guides for drugs. The information is not always there, but when it is, it comes from the drug company. Navigating the pages is explained in my course using screen-sharing videos.
If you see marks that indicate long vowel sounds and short vowel sounds, use a pronunciation guide to interpret them. I like the drug names that are written in “common language” without marks or assumptions that you know long and short vowel sounds. Watch for the syllables with the emphasis. They are usually noted by capitalized letters or prime symbols. Also note the separation between the syllables.
Today’s episode is an interview with Nancy Globus, a pharmacist who uses her voice to advocate for medication safety. I really enjoyed this interview because two of Nancy’s passions overlap with mine: medication safety and poisoning prevention.
Nancy Globus started in the pharmacy business at a young age. Her father opened his community pharmacy the year before she was born. Nancy began “counting pills” at her father’s side and eventually earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy from Rutgers College of Pharmacy. Then, she earned her PharmD from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and completed a one-year residency in a unique hospital, where most of the drugs were ordered and monitored by clinical pharmacists.
Nancy has worked in a number of practice settings. She honed her clinical skills in hospital practice, served roles in medical affairs, and eventually worked a number of years in the Med-ERRS subsidiary of ISMP (the Institute for Safe Medication Practices). There, she became proficient in all areas of medication safety, especially as error prevention applies to assisting the pharmaceutical and biotech industries in trademark safety testing, package label assessments, and other risk-management and regulatory issues.
When she is not saving humanity from confusing drug names and hard-to-read product labels, Nancy can be found translating “medicalese” for family members and friends and obsessing over her nail polish and cosmetics collection. She remains passionate about community pharmacy and has a strong interest in patient advocacy.

Highlights from the interview
Nancy has a passion for medication safety and poisoning prevention. She feels pharmacists are well-positioned to communicate important safety messages.
Drug names are unique for safety reasons.
Medication safety officers are important. They can prevent safety issues.
Nancy talked about the confusion between Losec and Lasix and how Losec became Prilosec.
There is not a clearly-defined path for a pharmacist to do what Nancy does. It’s a very niche job. All her professional experiences led her to medication safety roles.
“We don’t lose. We win, or we learn.” Good advice from Nancy for new grads or pharmacists early in their careers.
Nancy’s dream job would be naming nail polish colors for OPI or being a medical reporter on the TV news.

The topic today is pronunciation challenges for anyone learning English as a second language. In pharmacy school, I had friends who grew up overseas, including India, Romania, Bosnia, and Brazil. As college students, they were still learning English. Plus, they were learning medical terminology, drug names, and everything else I was learning. I gave them a lot of credit. They passed the same classes I did, and they certainly earned their pharmacy degrees!
Miscommunications in the healthcare sector can be life-threatening. It’s very important to be able to read, listen, speak, and write in English in the US to avoid miscommunications. When English is not your first language, learning drug names can be a challenge. Not only do you need to know the English alphabet, but you also have to know when to use long and short vowel sounds, and how to apply drug name pronunciation rules. If you need help pronouncing drug names, my online course can help. There are videos of me pronouncing dozens of drug names in the course. You can see my mouth move. Plus, I break the drug names into syllables and teach you strategies for breaking them down further.
I know what it’s like to want to fit in with everyone else. Pronouncing drug names can be hard. Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro is an online course that can help.

The topic in this episode is medication guides. Do patients read medication guides? This is a timely topic. My younger son had all four of his wisdom teeth extracted by an oral surgeon on Monday. Unfortunately, now he has mouth pain and swelling.
3 medications were prescribed. Once we got home, I sat down and read my son’s discharge instructions and everything that came with his prescriptions. There was a lot to read. I read one, short pamphlet from the oral surgeon and five pages of information from the pharmacy. (There were five pages of information for 3 medications.) I looked everything over, and to my surprise, I found written pronunciations for all three drugs! If you haven’t noticed these before, they look like drug names spelled phonetically.
Can patients interpret the written pronunciations? I can read them because I know how to interpret the symbols, capitalized syllables, long and short vowel sounds, and other pronunciation rules that go along with a written pronunciations. Unfortunately, there is not a pronunciation guide in any of the medication guides I received. How is anyone learning these drug names for the first time supposed to get it right? Even if there were a pronunciation guide in the medication guide, would anyone read it? That takes me back to my original question. Do patients read medication guides? If they do, the learning curve seems pretty steep to learn drug name pronunciations from medication guides.

This episode is about motivation. I have two teenaged sons. It can be tough to motivate them, but I know what works. My older son has autism and is motivated by car rides and going to the park. If I say, “Put your shoes and socks on, then we can drive to the park,” he’ll put his shoes and socks on all by himself FAST. When I tell him we are going to speech therapy, it’s a different story. He’s not as motivated.
My younger son is motivated by technology. When he deserves a serious punishment, I take his phone away. It doesn’t happen often, but losing his phone really gets his attention. He’s motivated to behave because he wants his phone with him instead of being locked up with me!
What motivates you? For some, it’s avoiding something, like my younger son getting his phone taken away. For others, it’s gaining something, like my older son getting a ride to the park.
What motivates you to learn something? In this episode, I ask, “What is there to gain?” And, “Would you be motivated to avoid something?” Pronouncing drug names can be hard. My online course Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro teaches brand and generic drug name pronunciations. The focus is on US Adopted Names. Learning how to say drug names correctly can improve safety and save time, plus help you feel confident, avoid criticism, earn trust, and feel less frustrated.

Teachers know a thing or two about containerizing. My Mom is a retired high school English teacher. She used to keep her supplies containerized. Like mother, like daughter. I believe in containerizing too. The modules in Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro are containerized. There are 11 modules in total. When I timed myself taking the course, it took about 2 hours to complete it. I did my best to get right to the point. I’m a very direct person, and I don’t like to bury the lede.
Keeping with the theme of containerizing, I encourage students to make flash cards throughout my course. Instead of asking you to listen to a pronunciation and just say it back to the computer screen, I encourage you to write down the written pronunciation, practice saying it, and keep your flash cards in a container for review later. My students get to containerize too! You never know when you might need to refer to your flash cards again. Plus, you can practice when it’s convenient for you.

Today’s episode is an interview with Jerilyn Arneson, a Revenue Integrity Pharmacist. Jerilyn and I met in April 2019, at the Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, North Carolina. Medical care for many disease states is expensive. Jerilyn uses her voice to advocate for the financial best interests of her patients. She helps them access financial assistance so they can focus on battling their disease and winning back their health.
Jerilyn Arneson is a pharmacist with 22 years of experience in a variety of practice settings. She started as an Air Force pharmacist and spent most of her career working in military medicine. She is a Board Certified Oncology Pharmacist who transitioned to civilian healthcare in 2014. Currently, Jerilyn works for a healthcare organization in Virginia as a Revenue Integrity Pharmacist. She specializes in navigating medication access and reimbursement for outpatient infusion centers.
In the last 6 years, Jerilyn has launched multiple medication assistance and financial navigation programs to assist cancer patients and other chronically ill patients with their treatment costs. She is also a Certified Medicare Benefits counselor and volunteers at Senior Services, where she helps patients select a Medicare plan that will cover their medical needs and assists them with complex problems, such as denials of essential services.

ASHP’s Pharmacy Revenue Cycle Management Certificate
Highlights from the interview
Revenue Integrity Pharmacists evaluate everything that has to do with pharmacy cost and reimbursement, including denials on high-dollar drug claims.
She specializes in specialty infusion centers. One claim can be tens of thousands of dollars. She writes appeal letters for denial claims.
Jerilyn helps patient get access to treatment. She focuses on financial navigation.
How did she learn everything she needed to know to be a Revenue Integrity Pharmacist? She picked up a lot of experience in different practice settings. She’s a curious person who wondered why patients were self-discontinuing treatments. When she realized they couldn’t afford treatments, she educated herself on patient assistance programs. Field Reimbursement Managers from drug companies helped her understand how to access underutilized patient assistance programs. She also asked a lot of people a lot of questions!
Jerilyn did not have formal training for her role as a Revenue Integrity Pharmacist, but she would recommend ASHP’s Pharmacy Revenue Cycle Management Certificate. That filled gaps in her knowledge.
What kind of pharmacist would enjoy being a Revenue Integrity Pharmacist?
- Someone who is curious and likes to problem-solve.
- An inquisitive person who is willing to ask a lot of questions.
- An excellent communicator: someone who can write appeal letters for denials (provide documentation).
- Someone who wants to help people and won’t say, “That’s not my job.”
Jerilyn shared a success story about helping a woman with more than $50,000 in debt get financial assistance and adequate insurance coverage. The US Healthcare System can complicated for many patients to navigate! Jerilyn was this woman’s “angel.”
According to Jerilyn, military pharmacy is a great place for a pharmacist to start their career!
Jerilyn will be touching many lives in her new role at Atlas.Health.

I’m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo. It stands for National Podcast Post Month. I’m promoting my online course "Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro."
As a pharmacist in the voiceover industry, I am often asked, "How do you pronounce this drug name?” Or, "How can I learn how to pronounce drug names correctly too? Who teaches this? Who taught you how to pronounce drug names correctly?" Those are all great questions!
I picked up a lot of what I know from pharmacy school. What happens after pharmacy school? After some reflection, I realized I had to either pick it up at work, guess, research pronunciations on the internet, or ask others. When I researched the pronunciation of a drug name on the internet, however, I found at least two different results. How was I supposed to know the right one? After researching drug names for my online course, Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro, I know there are better ways.
Pronouncing drug names correctly is important to me, and it shouldn’t be difficult as it often is. My course can help. Much of the course is short videos, but there is plenty of text to read as well. I took a complicated topic, broke it down into bite-sized chunks, paired the explanations with relevant images, and used voiceover to string the videos together.

Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro online course https://www.kimnewlove.com
Why did I create this course? I care about pronouncing drug names correctly, and I was inspired by voice actors to create a drug name pronunciation course.
Who is it for? It could be of use to voice actors, healthcare professionals, students (pharmacy students, nursing students, medical students, and so on), patients, caregivers, and more.
I created a course that, in hindsight, I wish I would have had in college. Something to teach me how to pronounce all the drug names that I hadn’t come across in pharmacy school and all the drug names yet-to-be invented.
The concept behind my course is, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” I teach you where to find the correct pronunciations, how to break them down, and other tips and tricks as you aspire to Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro! The course focuses on non-proprietary drug names. Those are also called generic names. Specifically, I focus on the US Adopted Names. I also teach how to find brand-name drug pronunciations. Finding brand name drug pronunciations is different from finding generic ones.

Mike is the author of Paid to Talk - A Journey Into Voice Acting and is a frequent speaker at Learning and Voice Over conferences. He currently lives in Saratoga Springs, NY with his wife and 4 children.
Highlights from the interview
Before becoming a voice actor, Mike ran the pharmacy that’s been in his family since 1960. He is a former Council Member and Mayor of Saratoga Springs, NY. After his position as mayor ended, he explored his creative side: screenwriting, film-making, voiceovers, etc. He enjoyed the communication piece of his public service: “using his voice.” After his 1st VO coaching session, he realized he loved it. The journey began.
2-3 years ago, he become a full time voice actor (made the switch from pharmacist to voice actor). It took > 10 years to make his part-time side hustle his full-time job.
Mike has had some great voice actors on his podcast! Examples include Harlan Hogan, Rodney Saulsberry, and Tom Dheere. Mike asks his guests about their journey, obstacles they overcame, lessons they learned, and advice for aspiring voice actors.
Mike and I shared a nonfiction audiobook narration coach, Sean Pratt. We both graduated around the first of September 2020.
For each finished hour of audio for an audiobook, there are several hours of audio engineering after recording.
Building relationships in the voiceover and audiobook industries pays off. Among other things, referrals keep Mike busy working! Audiobooks, course books for online colleges, etc.
Conferences have changed Mike’s life. One example is APAC (Audiobook Publisher’s Association Conference). Meeting people and building relationships led to more work.
The voiceover industry is a giving community with authentic relationships. We refer our friends because when you give, you receive. What goes around, comes around.
There was an element of faith in making a leap from pharmacy to VO. Mike says, “Just get in the boat!” And see where it takes you. You only connect the dots looking backward.
Mike has demos on his website for IVR (interactive voice response/on-hold messaging), elearning, audiobooks, commercials, and narration. Mike uses the VoiceZam player to help potential clients find and listen to his demos easily.

Topics include focusing, performance training, the business of the business, branding, and recording in a home studio. Lifetime membership (as of October 23, 2020) is $97 USD.
Today’s episode is about doing something unexpected. When you have a disadvantage, you can “flip the script!”

Episode 4 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast
Online course coming soon!
The theme today is “flip the script.” I have 3 stories to share. The first story is about my brand. The second is about about a mistake I made last year that I have an opportunity to fix next month. And, the third one is about my husband.
What does flip the script mean? If you “flip the script,” you reverse your position and do something unexpected. It’s exactly what I did.
Here’s story number one. It’s about my brand. About 4 years ago, I thought I was stuck being a stay-at-home Mom because I couldn’t find a childcare situation that would allow me to work outside the home in a traditional pharmacist role. It took me years to figure it out, but I flipped the script! I carved out a part-time job I can do in the margins using my identity as a pharmacist. I became a voice actor and a podcast host!
Recently, I updated my LinkedIn “about” section. I felt like I know my brand, and I put it in words. We all have things inside us that make us “us.” Writing it down and refining it over time helped me discover my brand. What I wrote tells others who I am even when I’m not in the room. I thought I was stuck, but I flipped the script!
Here’s story number two. I made a mistake last year in November. I have an opportunity to fix it this November. All the way back in Episode 4 of this podcast, I mentioned something called NaPodPomo. It’s short for National Podcast Post Month. It’s an annual challenge to post one podcast per day in the month of November. That’s right! 30 podcasts in 30 days. I planned to launch The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast during NaPodPomo last year, but it didn’t work out. I completely missed it and launched December 4, instead. This year, I’m flipping the script. If all goes well, I am launching an online course at the end of this month, and I plan to publish short, solo episodes in November to get the word out about the course. That’s right, I’m accepting the challenge and signing up for NaPodPomo. I know what I just said about launching a course is a tease, but hang in there. I’ll share more in 2 weeks during my next solo episode on October 30.
Story number three is about my husband. For anyone new to the show, my husband, Nathan, lost his job May 1st, due to a RIF = reduction in force. Essentially, he was downsized after 12 years with the same company. He is a mechanical engineer. He’s had a variety of jobs. He designed the convertible top for the C5 Corvette, engineered cookware for Calphalon, and most recently worked for a solar panel manufacturer. Automotive, consumer products, and renewable energy are all different industries. He built an amazing skill set over the past 20 years. After he lost his job, he flipped the script too!
I’m going to borrow a word from the Japanese language. It’s Ikigai, which means “reason for being.” When he was unemployed and trying to figure out what to do, he looked at his “reason for being” employed. Finding his Ikigai gave him direction and helped him look for purpose in his next job. He figured out what employers need, what he’s good at, what he likes to do, and what he can get paid for. This was the brand statement he used on his resume, LinkedIn, and messages he put out on social media: I develop talent, lead teams, solve problems, and improve processes.
Instead of putting himself out into the world as a mechanical engineer, he put himself out there as the guy who develops talent, leads teams, solves problems, and improves processes. Guess who needs that type of a guy? Amazon! He flipped the script! Nathan was hired as an Operations Manager. He started training August 31. The first two weeks were online training. Then, he had a short-term assignment with an Amazon fulfillment center about 2½ hours away.
The past 30 days have been hard for my family. My husband lived in a hotel for 3 of the past 4 weeks. This is his first week living at home again. Much respect to all the single parents out there who do it every day, especially military spouses whose partners are deployed. I know it’s not easy.
Starting November 1, my husband’s permanent assignment will be about 15 minutes from our home. Until then, he’s been working at another fulfillment center over an hour away. I’m looking forward to November 1, so our family can finally get into a routine.
Maybe you have disadvantage and can do something unexpected to “flip the script” in your life too.

Highlights from the interview
April celebrated the 1st anniversary of the release of No Mess No Message in Sept 2020.
April’s son Tyler (cancer survivor) started college this fall. He’s pre-med for sports medicine and will earn an athletic trainer’s certificate in his Bachelor’s Program. He wants to specialize in adaptive sports medicine.
When April tried to identify her book’s target audience, she thought it would be cancer moms. Turns out, her journey is relatable to anyone facing adversity. It helps prepare someone facing a struggle.
“Meat grinder” analogy = processing what’s happened to you. What we put in needs to come out better once we’ve processed it.
I related to the book even though I’m an autism mom. April wanted to help others to be stronger. If the pain happened, and it’s behind her, and she can’t use it to help others. It’s compassionate to share with others. April is a mentor of sorts in the book. One theme is, “Hang in there! If I can make it through this, so can you!”
Why did April narrate her own book? To be as authentic and transparent as possible. Narrating it “her way” was important to her. She had a professional production team record her book.
April’s friend Angela challenged her to write No Mess, No Message. Angela founded Wesley’s Warrior Foundation after her son Wesley passed from cancer as a child. “Helping is healing.” April committed to sending one chapter/month to Angela until the book was finished.
Wesley’s Warrior Foundation helps alleviate financial burdens. Families can’t work due to treatments. Parents need to pay rent and buy groceries. Angela put her finger on what she needed when she was needy and created a foundation to serve that need.
Asking for help and articulating needs can be difficult. April was worried about hurting feelings, insurance reimbursement, etc. You have to do what you have to do or your child will suffer. Find your voice early because you will have to advocate long-term for your child if they live a long life.
If you don’t know your options and how much better life could be, you just can’t make better choices. Support groups can be helpful. Connect with other families that have similar diagnoses and disabilities. She’s learned so much from others about steps she had not gotten to yet. You get to end up being a resource to others AND use the info for the benefit of your own child and his care team. It’s rewarding because you remember how much learning that fact/about that service made a significant and positive impact on your own child.
April attended the Endeavor Games in Oklahoma so she could network with other moms, get support, and learn. Tyler met athletes and made friends and lasting relationships. Tyler participated in races and got medals. It opened his mind to new athletic possibilities and gave him joy.
When you start with a disadvantage, it can make you stronger.
Tyler is April’s business partner at The Drifted Drum Co. As the book was being published, the company was born. It serves more than one purpose. Tyler wanted an apparel line. April wanted to publish other people’s stories. So, they formed The Drifted Drum Company “The Business of Encouragement.” The Drifted Drum Company became April’s publishing Brand, and Tyler Vibes Apparel is part of it. She is developing books with other authors and will publish their stories under her brand.
Events are on the website under The Drifted Drum Company. Examples include “The No Pity Party” Event and “A Path to Purpose” Virtual Retreat.
“Drifted” = ended up in a place you didn’t expect to be due to external forces directing you. “Drum” = a vessel that can be emptied out and filled up over and over again.
Details about Path to Purpose Retreat: Tickets can be found at thedrifteddrum.com. See EVENTS tab. It’s a Virtual event Dec 5, 10 AM-2:30 PM CT. Cost is $50.

On today’s episode, I’ll share a few stories about expectations and tie them into my journey. You’ll hear about my favorite board game, which is Ticket to Ride, my unplanned pregnancy at the age of 23, and my expectations for episode one of this podcast.

Episode Notes
An expectation is a strong belief that something will happen in the future. There’s no plan. You just expect it to happen. If I set a goal, on the other hand, it’s specific. I get to pick how I try to achieve the goal. Goals can be flexible that way.
When I play my favorite board game, Ticket to Ride, I have some expectations. I expect to have fun, score as many points as possible, and finish the game. There’s no plan. I just expect it to happen. I believe it will happen.
If you’re unfamiliar with Ticket to Ride, it’s a board game with a train theme. It’s also available using apps on Apple and Android products. I love it! There are at least ten maps. The Swiss and US maps are my favorites. Players claim railway routes connecting cities, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins. What’s the goal? To have the highest score. How do you get points? Depending on the map, there are several different ways, like completing destination tickets, building the longest train, and scoring the most points with up to 45 wagons.
If you can imagine a map of the United States, a common destination ticket is Los Angeles to New York City. To complete that ticket, I could travel across the middle of the country through Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, and Pittsburgh to get from LA to New York. I could travel from West to East or from East to West. I could even start in the middle of the country. If I wanted to, I could travel south through Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, and El Paso on my way to LA. It’s my journey. I get to pick the route. The goal remains the same, no matter how unconventional the route.
Ticket to Ride is practically an analogy for life. Have expectations. Play the game. Live your life. If you want to accomplish something, set some goals. Accomplish your goals whether you take the predictable, direct route or the longer, scenic route.
I’ve made it this far on my journey from pharmacist to voice actor by being flexible yet still achieving my goals. Because of my life circumstances, I’ll admit to taking the scenic route! I’m making progress slowly, but I expect to move the needle a little more every year.
I need to update my goals this month, but I have my expectations written. For the next 12 months, I expect to
- Improve my performance skills
- Improve my audio engineering skills
- Attempt more auditions
- Book more jobs
- Increase my income
- Nurture and develop relationships
Without goals to support those expectations, I’m only having fun being in the game. I’m looking forward to writing new goals this month and making progress.
Here’s the story about my unplanned pregnancy at the age of 23.
I got married in 2001 when I was still 22 years old, just 6 weeks after graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy. I expected to work for a year to pay off my student loans. Then, go to grad school. My choices were:
- Master’s Degree in Pharmacy Administration from Purdue
- PharmD from The University of Toledo.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Toledo (GO ROCKETS!), and the PharmD was the more likely choice. In less than a year, however, I unexpectedly got pregnant at the age of 23. I never went to grad school. Back when I graduated, a pharmacist only needed a Bachelor’s Degree.
When my husband and I were expecting our first child, I was just trying to get through the pregnancy. I was young, and none of my friends had kids yet. I didn’t think too much about the birth, childcare, or how my life would change. Like the free spirit I was back then, I thought I’d figure it out during maternity leave AFTER the baby was born. We had a son. He’s 17 now.
I expected an easy labor and delivery. I expected all the time my husband and I spent in lamaze class would pay off, and I would have an uneventful delivery. Unfortunately, our son was breech at 39 weeks, and I had a c-section. My expectations were blown completely apart. Not only did I have a c-section, but I also had a post-operative infection that lasted so long that I couldn’t even return to work after 12 weeks. I was out of work for 16 weeks.
Then, another surprise happened. I thought babies slept a lot. Not my baby. The doctors told me my son had “colic.” Fast-forward 2 and a half years. He actually had a number of problems, including sensory integration dysfunction and autism. I didn’t expect a c-section, a post-op infection, an unhappy baby, sleepless days and nights, and eventually a child with a disability. I know all about unmet expectations. There are some things, you just can’t write goals for. It’s ok to change your expectations though and make plans the best you can under the circumstances. That’s what I did.
When I was learning how to launch my podcast last year, at least a dozen people told me that my first episode would also be my worst episode. They were kind of right. It happens to be my most-listened-to episode whether you or I think it’s my worst or not. The point is that the expectation was set. Knowing that the first one might be terrible actually helped me reconcile that I had to just get started and not let my expectations or anyone’s judgement prevent me from moving forward. I made it my goal to improve my delivery, content, and show notes over time. I feel at peace with everything, and I really do think it’s getting better.

Have expectations. Make goals. If you come close, give yourself credit, and try to enjoy the journey.
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Eleni Mastro, an independent consultant pharmacist. I invited her on the podcast because she uses her voice to advocate and educate. Optimizing drug therapy in the elderly is important. As an independent consultant pharmacist certified in Medication Therapy Management, Dr. Mastro helps facilities and geriatric patients manage drug regimens, decrease adverse drug events, and reduce costs. As a result, her patients and clients feel empowered. Dr. Mastro’s extensive background in pharmaceutical nomenclature and drug safety testing sparked her affinity to medication management.
Dr. Mastro earned her Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University. She is an active member of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP). She is licensed in New York and New Jersey.

Highlights from the interview
Dr. Mastro joined Pharmapreneur Academy with Blair Thielemeier and felt inspired to create a business working one-on-one with patients, their caregivers, and families to educate on disease states and medications. She also consults with prescribers and care facilities.
Dr. Mastro has a passion for working with the elderly. Helping patients one-on-one is rewarding to her. Narrowing down her business services was a challenge, but she feels confident with her choice.
Dr. Mastro shared a success story about working with an elderly gentleman with dementia. Using her problem-solving skills, Dr. Mastro looked at all the “pieces of the puzzle,” optimized his drug therapy, encouraged an increased activity level, and saw the behavior change he needed. He felt better and slept better, and his family was happier as a result.
Patients find Dr. Mastro in a number of ways: referrals from healthcare professionals, word of mouth, Facebook, fliers, networking with pharmacies, and her website. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has been a barrier to in-person meetings, Dr. Mastro has had the opportunity to meet with many patients using Zoom.
Dr. Mastro’s familiarity with the Beers List is important to her business. Researching medication doses, making recommendations to prescribers (on dose and appropriateness), looking at bloodwork with deeper insight, and make clinical decisions based on data ultimately helps helps her manage drug regimens, decrease adverse drug events, and reduce costs.
One of Dr. Mastro’s favorite resources is the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) website. The insights, CE, and network of member pharmacists strengthens her knowledge base and helps her be a more effective pharmacist. COVID-19 and transitions of care are two topics on the ASCP website Dr. Mastro found especially useful in recent months.
One of the best pieces of advice Dr. Mastro has ever had was about imposter syndrome. Someone warned her about it, and it made an impact on her. She recognized the little voice in the back of her head (imposter syndrome) that was holding her back. She pushed it aside so she could move forward with her business idea and feel confident she would succeed. It’s a turning point so many entrepreneurs face, and she encourages others to recognize the feeling and push forward in spite of self-doubt.
Patients, the adult children of patients, and healthcare providers may not realize they need Dr. Mastro’s services. Marketing her medication therapy management (MTM) service creatively and getting patient buy-in is one of her biggest challenges. When she develops a relationship and educates patients and families, they feel empowered and able to advocate for their health/their loved one’s health.
On her journey from Brand Institute to founding Compliance Reach Pharmacy Consulting, many patients, families, other pharmacists, and entrepreneurs have impacted Dr. Mastro. She says that meeting amazing people is the best thing that’s happened on her journey.

In today’s episode, I’ll talk about finding a new normal for my voiceover business now that the kids are back to school and my husband started his new job. Plus, what I learned at the eVOcation Conference.
The year 2020 has kept me on my toes and tested the meaning of a “steady schedule.” My kids went back to school in August, but not all day every day. They’re happy to be back, and so am I, but this is the first school year that has started out with an alternative schedule and personal protective equipment. [It’s different!]
My husband started his new job August 31st. He’s training to work at an Amazon Fulfillment Center that hasn’t opened yet. That means lots of online training from home. I love having him around! He’ll be out of the house finding his new normal soon enough.
Now, I’m trying to to find my new normal with my voiceover business, managing the house, raising the kids, and being a supportive wife. No problem, right? Actually all this change is rocking my world a little bit. I have less time in my day. I can handle it. I just haven’t found my stride yet.
I attended an online conference called eVOcation last weekend (Sept 11-13, 2020). It was about the business of voiceover. Voice Actors Carin Gilfrey and Jamie Muffet did a phenomenal job organizing the topics, speakers, links, swag bags, entertainment, and so on.
I had a list of four topics I wanted to learn about at VOcation. Mission accomplished! I walked away with a better understanding of all four of them plus ideas for new personal goals.
-
Source Connect
-
Networking
-
Negotiating rates [for voiceover jobs]
-
Finding work through agents, casting directors, and pay-to-play sites. I learned which sites are available and best practices for using them.
Overall, great conference. Definitely worth it! I learned a lot, met some awesome people, and took pages and pages notes. I definitely need to write some new goals now that I’m better-informed about the business of voiceover.
