| 14 Nov 2020 | Having the right tool for the job | 00:03:21 | |
Mentioned in this episode NaPodPomo http://napodpomo.org Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro online course https://www.kimnewlove.com 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. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro! In this episode, I talk about my Dad. After his service in the US Marine Corps, he worked as a carpenter. He taught me about “having the right tool for the job.” Using the right tool for the job is important, no matter your profession. Imagine if you had a tool/resource for pronouncing drug names? Pronouncing drug names can be hard. Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro is an online course that teaches brand and generic drug name pronunciations. The focus is US Adopted names (those are generic names in the US). Knowing how to get the right answers right away will save you time and help you feel confident, avoid criticism, earn trust, and feel less frustrated. | |||
| 05 Mar 2021 | How the Teach-Back Method helps me in the voiceover industry | 00:09:21 | |
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! Mentioned in this episode Peggy Yen’s article, Use and Effectiveness of the Teach-Back Method in Patient Education and Health Outcomes https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6590951/ Episode 83 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast, Interview with Sean Pratt Sean Pratt is a nonfiction audiobook narration coach.

| 23 Oct 2020 | Interview with Mike Lenz: Pharmacist, Voice Actor, and Podcast Host | 01:04:11 | |
Today’s episode is an interview with Mike Lenz. He’s a pharmacist, voice actor, and podcast host. Mike is someone I look up to, and I have the pleasure of calling him a friend. Mike and I know one another from the voiceover industry, and he uses his voice to entertain. Mentioned in this episode Website https://mikelenzvoice.com Podcast https://mikelenzvopodcast.com Mike’s book Paid to Talk - A Journey into Voice Acting VO Success (Online Course) https://vosuccess.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/michael.lenz.1460/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikelenzvo/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/mlenzvoice Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikelenzvoice/ Sean Pratt, nonfiction audiobook narration coach https://www.seanprattpresents.com APAC (Audio Publisher’s Association Annual Conference) VoiceZam Player https://www.voicezam.com Mike Lenz is a full-time SAG-AFTRA professional voice talent, actor, audiobook narrator and podcast producer. As a voice actor for more than 15 years Mike has worked with clients such as Xerox, Hershey, Dell, Microsoft, Bayer, Coca-Cola and many more on commercials, eLearning projects, real estate videos, corporate and web-based videos, and brand imaging. Mike has also appeared in regional and national television commercials as an on-camera talent and was the host of a local TV talk show in Saratoga Springs, NY for a number of years. Mike is also an accomplished audiobook narrator with more than 100 titles narrated to date. With titles in genres ranging from Fiction, Entertainment, Science, and Children’s to Christian, Business, Self-Help and History, Mike loves bringing non-fiction and fiction stories to life with his engaging, confident, and trustworthy voice. Mike is also a Voice Arts Award nominated podcast producer of a popular Voice Over podcast, and the creator of Podcast Snap, a podcast consulting service, helping his clients with every step of their podcast creation and production. 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. Outside audiobook publishers, Mike’s clients include podcast clients, elearning, corporate clients, and on-hold messaging. Everything revolves around his audiobooks schedule. How does Mike care for his voice? He does warm-ups, including tongue twisters, humming, and vocal warm-ups. He stays hydrated and tries to get his sleep. Mike has done some live announcing. It’s fun for him, and he has booked the work thanks to referrals from other voice actors. Mike has an online course called VO Success. It teaches up-and-coming voice actors a good foundation about the VoiceOver industry. 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. | |||
| 03 Nov 2020 | Why I created "Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro" & Who it's for | 00:04:13 | |
I’m publishing one 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 using these extra episodes to talk about my new online course. It’s called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. Mentioned in this episode NaPodPoMo http://napodpomo.org 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. | |||
| 09 Oct 2020 | Interview with April Jones, PharmD, MBA: Pharmacist, Author, and Entrepreneur | 01:08:50 | |
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. April Jones. She’s a pharmacist, author, and entrepreneur. As the parent of a childhood cancer survivor and amputee, she is an advocate for a number of interests, including adaptive sports. She uses her family’s story to educate others and encourage them to find strength in struggle and purpose in pain. As an author, she entertains audiences in print, ebook, and audiobook. Dr. April Jones is not only an Oncology Medical Director for Pfizer, but she is also the author of No Mess No Message, owner of The Drifted Drum Company, a motivational speaker, an avid community volunteer, a mentor, and a leader in the pharmacy profession. Along with her many professional credentials, she’s the mother of an international adaptive athlete/cancer survivor/college student and 2 other busy boys. It’s her personal journey that makes her an authority on transforming pain into purpose and struggle into strength. Mentioned in this episode
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. Use the coupon code WELOVEKIM for 10% off the ticket price. All participants get some swag = her book (digital download) and the companion journal. There is a great line-up of speakers! See links above:
The book, ebook, and audiobook were released at the same time. You can download the companion journal to the book by visiting www.thedrifteddrum.com. April wants to launch the “No Pity Party Podcast” in 2021. She will focus on sharing messages of inspiration and sharing resources that helped her guests.

Elevate Your Life. By Robin Sharma
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 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. The podcast aims to educate and encourage pharmacy students about the versatility of the PharmD, in addition to helping them choose a career that plays to their strengths.
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! | |||
| 20 Nov 2020 | Pronunciation challenges for anyone learning English as a second language | 00:02:35 | |
Mentioned in this episode NaPodPoMo http://napodpomo.org Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro Online Course https://www.kimnewlove.com 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. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. 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. | |||
| 09 Jun 2023 | Interview with Salam Kabbani, PharmD - Pharmacist Authors Series, Summer 2023 | 00:49:25 | |
Up first in my Summer 2023 Pharmacist Authors Series is Salam Kabbani, PharmD. She wrote COVID Long-Hauler: My Life Since COVID and narrated the audiobook. A sample of her audiobook is included at the end of the episode. Bio Salam Kabbani, PharmD is an infectious diseases pharmacy specialist at Olathe Medical Center in the greater Kansas City area. Her experience with long-COVID disability motivated her to write a memoir about her experiences so she can spread empathy by sharing her honest human experience. She is very passionate about advocating for patients and is currently working on a new series highlighting long-COVID symptoms and different strategies to mitigate them. 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. She lives with her cat Luna and feels grateful for every experience life has to offer her. She loves connecting with people, and especially long-haulers, and would love to hear your stories, answer any questions, or just chat through any of the links below!

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).

| 13 Nov 2020 | Keeping a realistic workload | 00:06:03 | |
Mentioned in this episode NaPodPomo http://napodpomo.org Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro online course https://www.kimnewlove.com Debbie Irwin https://debbieirwin.com November has been a challenging month. For the rest of 2020, I’m focusing on being available for my family and keeping the workload for my voiceover business realistic. I have been publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo. The goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days. I have been publishing bite-sized episodes every day except Fridays to promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. We had a health scare this month, and it made me realize that I need to scale back on my voiceover business and focus on my family for the rest of the year. My younger son was sent home early from school on October 30. One of his classmates tested positive for COVID-19. My son was exposed; then, he was quarantined in our home for 14 days. He did not contract the virus. His first day back to school is today, November 13. On any given day, anyone in my household could contract the coronavirus, including me. Right now, I’m focusing on the students enrolled in my online course, medical narration lessons with Debbie Irwin, producing my podcast, improving my audio engineering skills, and narrating projects I am already committed to. | |||
| 12 Feb 2021 | Interview with Sean Pratt: Audiobook Narrator and Coach | 01:02:44 | |
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 Mentioned in this episode Website - http://seanprattpresents.com Twitter - @SPPresents Instagram - @SPPresents Facebook - Sean Pratt Presents LinkedIn - Sean Pratt Kenny Pappaconstantinou linkedin.com/in/kennypmusic, elephantaudiobooks.com Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel A. van Der Kolk 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?
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.

| 14 Feb 2020 | Interview with Harold Kinker, Retired Ohio Pharmacist | 00:53:42 | |
Harold Kinker, Retired Ohio Pharmacist University of Toledo College of Pharmacy Class of 1970 (BS Pharmacy Degree) kinkerh@gmail.com When I joined the staff of Walgreens store 5323 in Toledo, OH in 2002, Harold was the pharmacy manager. Harold was a mentor and became a friend. Almost 20 years after meeting, we are still friends and even go out to lunch with a group of current and former Toledo-area Walgreens pharmacists several times a year. In 2002, I worked full-time on the midnight shift “7-on/7-off” for about 12 months: I worked one week, then had the following week off. My hours were 10 PM to 8 AM Monday through Sunday. I worked 70 hours and got paid for 80. Counting vacation time, I was only required to work 25 weeks per year. My partner on the off-weeks asked me to cover vacation for him twice. I worked 21 days in a row on midnights each time while pregnant. I was 24 years old. When I became a Mom, I needed to step down to part-time. Harold helped me find a way to make it happen. Thanks Harold! Harold was great with pharmacy and store staff, and our patients liked him. Harold served on a Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) from 2004-2012. He had paid deployments, similar to National Guard duty. Highlights included helping with Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, surviving gas mask training in an Alabama “Cobra Tank," and nuclear emergency training in Nevada. To learn more about DMAT, visit https://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/responders/ndms/ndms-teams/Pages/dmat.aspx Harold is a Volunteer Trail Patrol Walker for the Toledo-area Metroparks. 50 hours/year is the minimum commitment. He volunteers more than 200 hours/year. Harold walks with other volunteers 2-3 times/week, about 2 hours at a time. Toledo has one of the best Metroparks systems in the country! To learn more about the Toledo-area Metroparks, visit https://metroparkstoledo.com Harold volunteers with the Veterans History Project. The Veterans History Project creates videos of Veterans and their stories. Multiple copies are made of each video. Three copies go to the Veteran; another goes to the University of Toledo; and one goes to the Library of Congress. Interested WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Afghanistan Veterans can call George or Harold. George Pugh 419-877-0600 Harold Kinker 419-868-1950 To learn more about the Veterans History Project, visit https://www.loc.gov/vets/ Harold loves retirement and enjoys vacation cruises with his wife and friends.

| 28 Nov 2020 | Are you in the market for a microphone for podcasting, pod-guesting, or online meetings? | 00:06:13 | |
Mentioned in this episode Dave Jackson is a great teacher! Visit The School of Podcasting amazon.com and sweetwater.com have good online stores for the ATR2100X. I personally bought the other gear from amazon.com. These are NOT affiliate links. I do not get any financial benefit from these recommendations. 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.

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.
🌟 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. ☎️ Program 1-800-222-1222 into your phone, and share it with your patients, family, and friends TODAY!

The year was 2005. I was a young Mom. 27 years old. My life was a circus. My husband worked full-time, and I worked part-time. We had a newborn, and our 2-year-old son had just been diagnosed with autism. Our house had toys, books, and kid stuff all over the place, and there were never enough hours in the day to get everything done. Every day, I wondered when things would get better. I felt so disorganized. 2 years later, in 2007, I saw a professional organizer and author named Julie Morgenstern on TV. Everything she said made sense. I bought and read her first two books: Organizing from the Inside Out and Time Management from the Inside Out. Julie Morgenstern is my Yoda. In her first book, she said, “Self-awareness is the most powerful tool in getting and staying organized.” Julie also said, “Only you can pinpoint what’s holding you back.” She was right! I was the only person who could pinpoint what was holding me back from getting and staying organized. Her books are filled with great advice that get to the root cause of why we do the things we do and how to use that information to get organized. After all, why should I get rid of anything without understanding how it got there in the first place? I’m not just talking about stuff. I’m talking about commitments and habits too. Because of Julie, I studied myself to figure out what makes me tick. I needed to find out where my time goes, and how long it takes me to do things. If you have never done this, I highly recommend it. It could help you make a career pivot some day! What would you do if you had an extra 2 hours in your day? 10-14 hours in your week? Would you be able to start a side-hustle? Could you learn a new skill? You bet! I did! What I did: I bought spiral-bound, wide-ruled notebooks. I wrote down what I did every day and how long it took me to do it. Some examples: making beds, doing dishes, folding laundry, making dinner, going to the gym, getting cleaned up, going through mail, reading and responding to e-mails, and working on projects. What I learned was a game changer! I grouped similar activities to help make my days run smoother. For example, errands. If I needed to run errands, I would do them as batches instead of going out once or twice/day. I also started a “projects binder” for projects that are so big they need broken down into bite-sized chunks, like planning a vacation and home improvement projects. What I have learned from reading books and listening to audiobooks has helped me grow so I can make the best use of my time and spend as much time as possible on my business. I love to read and learn! Julie’s books - all of them - helped me define goals and decide how to spend my time doing the activities that would help me accomplish my goals. Julie taught me the 4 D’s and how to SHED. The four D’s are delete, delay, delegate, and diminish. Delete When I have more on my list than I have time, I will delete non-essential tasks. Examples: meetings, workouts, projects, and conference notes that don’t fit into my big-picture goals. Delay My husband and I have a budget meeting the night before he gets paid. Our goal is to meet every two weeks. If one of us is sick, out of town, or there is a holiday, we delay the meeting. Delegate When possible, I delegate tasks. Examples: my kids put their laundry away, and my husband drops our books off at the library. Diminish Think of this as doing things “quick and dirty.” Example: a one-sentence e-mail instead of staring at the computer for 15 minutes, writing, and rewriting a message. Write the sentence. Send the e-mail. Save time. The goal is to communicate. Finding 15 more minutes of time to work on my business is my payoff. SHED • Separating the treasures (identify what really matters) • Heave the rest (eliminate excess) • Embracing your identity (Who do you really want to be?) • Drive yourself forward (Make a change. The past isn’t holding you back.) I have figured out what is important to me and worked to get rid of the thoughts, habits, and stuff that are holding me back so I can do what I want to do with my life. By looking at what I wanted and what held me back, I was able to make a career change. It took me years. Other books that have influenced me are Chip Heath and Dan Heath’s books Switch and Decisive. Switch got me into a mindset to change even though change is hard. Decisive helped me become a better decision-maker. Good to Great taught me to find what I can do well and do that one thing to the best of my ability. When I made my career change, I had the idea to offer other services. When I narrowed it down to just voiceover, I made progress. From Good to Great, I also love the phrase, “Get the right people on the bus.” It means that to drive my business forward, I need to have the right people helping me before I can go anywhere. I need the right coaches, the right pool of accountability buddies, and so on.

| 22 Jan 2021 | 🎉 Celebrating one year in podcasting! 🎉 | 00:05:03 | |
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. | |||
| 04 Jun 2021 | Interview with Rhonda Phillips about “How does someone get started in voiceover?” | 01:00:33 | |
Rhonda Phillips answers the question, “How does someone get started in voiceover?” Rhonda is a voiceover actor, voiceover performance coach, and host of a monthly webinar series called Late Night Secrets for Voiceover Success. Full bio: Rhonda has been a full-time voiceover actor for the past 16 years. Her voice has been heard everywhere from national milk campaigns to Las Vegas casinos to major furniture brands. She's voiced thousands of television and radio commercials as well as hundreds of eLearning modules and on-hold campaigns. She’s also a beginner performance and business coach for aspiring new voiceover talent. Rhonda began her speaking career by teaching effective speaking classes and traveling as a public speaker. She then turned to broadcast radio where she and her morning show partner held a #1 comedy Hot AC morning show. When she’s not working, she enjoys the great outdoors in Western Colorado with her husband and yellow lab. Website and links Facebook - Search Late Night Secrets for Voiceover Success - Webinar Series https://rhondasvoice.com/#late-night-secrets (to subscribe to newsletter) https://rhondasvoice.com/events/ (for all upcoming coaching and webinars) https://www.instagram.com/rhondasvoice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhondasvoice/ http://introductiontovoiceover.com is Rhonda’s 3-hour, self-paced course about the VO industry. Highlights from the interview There are many ways to get into voiceover (VO). ✅First, do your research. What’s current? What’s happening? What’s out there? ✅Listen to demos by professional voice actors, and visit their websites. Shop around. ✅Learn what different genres of VO sound like: commercial, eLearning, explainer videos, etc. ✅Reach out to a coach who works with newbies in the genre you want to explore. ✅Learn the performance side of VO. ✅Learn the business side of VO. Checklist of things to think about 🟣Budget (marketing, branding, a logo, website design, hiring a team to help you, and more) 🟣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:
Rhonda refers students to other coaches as needed. Ex: animation, medical, and video games. Rhonda specializes in the following:
Rhonda offers group coaching
*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:
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. To learn more about Rhonda Phillips, visit https://rhondasvoice.com.

| 21 Aug 2020 | Getting out of my comfort zone | 00:13:16 | |
Today’s episode is about getting out of my comfort zone, trying new things, taking risks, and growing. I’ll talk about some experiences I’ve had this summer working on my business and an update on my family. Mark Zuckerberg once said, “The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking any risks.” I appreciate that statement. This has been a summer to remember. My husband, Nathan, and I have been together for 27 years and married for 19 of them. This is the first summer he’s been home in more than 20 years. For anyone new to the podcast, my husband lost his job May 1, due to a reduction in force, or RIF. He offered to take over for me with the kids and managing the house. He’s doing a great job. For the first time since I started my journey from pharmacist to voice actor, I’ve been able to work on my business full-time. After more than 2 years of training part-time “in the margins,” I recorded a medical narration demo on March 11, right before my children’s school district went online-only due to the Pandemic. I became a homeschool teacher for my two teenage children, and I struggled to work on my business after my husband came home in the evenings. When my husband told me I could work on my business full-time, I felt a little like a deer in the headlights. I had goals, but I never had time to work on them aggressively. I’ll get to the point quickly here. The biggest lesson I learned this summer is that working full-time as a voice actor isn’t like turning a light switch on. I didn’t have an agent. I wasn’t on any pay-to-play sites. I was just starting to direct-marketing to potential clients. There was still a lot for me to learn and do. Plus, I’m still finishing my audiobook narration course with Sean Pratt. I am scheduled to graduate September 2. Between May 1 and now, I have learned a lot. I got out of my comfort zone, tried new things and took some risks. Some of the things I tried made me uncomfortable, and that’s ok. I grow when I’m uncomfortable. We’re not talking reckless and irresponsible. I’ve been selective about the opportunities I’ve chosen to pursue. Let me give you some examples:
“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” This quote by entertainer Dita Von Teese is a gentle reminder for me to stay authentic to my brand and keep trying. A little bit of discomfort goes a long way in terms of personal development. When I injured one of the joints in my left foot, I became a swimmer. The doctor told me that if I wanted my foot to heal, I couldn’t do any high-impact activities or attend group cycling class for months. I was devastated. I joined a swim class as soon as I could. I conquered beginner, intermediate, and advanced lap swim classes to become a proficient swimmer. I have even competed in adult swim meets! I was able to participate in triathlons too. After at total of 16 weeks of swimming, my foot healed enough for me to return to group cycling class. If I hadn’t tried swimming due to a foot injury, I would not have gotten in the water. If I hadn’t become a swimmer, I wouldn’t have tried triathlons. I was very uncomfortable swimming at first because of my asthma and lack of stroke development. In the end, I became a skilled swimmer and a competitor. Going outside my comfort zone took me places. I took a risk, tried something new, and grew…just like I grow all the time on my journey from pharmacist to voice actor. Family update! (I recorded this episode on August 20.) My two teenaged sons returned to school this week. My older son with autism goes every day. My younger son who is typically developing goes Wednesday and Friday. The other 3 days are online from home. This summer, my husband, Nathan, opened up, put himself out there, took his own risks, and grew. After working at the same company for more than 12 years, he had to rewrite his resume, update his LinkedIn profile, and figure a few things out. He had to figure what he loves to do, what he’s good at, what the world needs, and what he could get paid to do. It paid off! He had several interviews and recently accepted a job offer. He starts August 31. I’ll announce the company in the next solo podcast Friday, September 4. Call me superstitions, but I don’t feel right announcing it just yet. | |||
| 08 Jan 2021 | Setting goals for 2021 ✅ | 00:07:39 | |
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. Social Media Links and websites mentioned in this episode Website: https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com 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:
*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.
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.

| 10 Feb 2023 | Interview with Mike Donoghue about ConveyMED, the #1 Podcast App for Medical Education | 00:35:59 | |
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. If you want to hear about audio-based medical education, you need to hear this conversation! According to Mike, "ConveyMED has made a significant investment into Pharmacy Mobile Education with the ConveyMED platform and partnership with the Pharmacy Podcast Network . My partner & co-Founder, Chris West, is the Vice President of Education for PPN and was at the first Mobile Education in Pharmacy Symposium earlier this year with the leaders of several pharmacy schools. Our shared vision is to support pharmacists and pharmacy students with the very best in mobile education." Bio (January 2023) Mike is a 30-year healthcare veteran and an avid podcast listener. Mike’s thesis for ConveyMED is that podcasting is an underutilized medium to deliver professional education and a new solution is needed so that physicians can take full advantage of the value of mobile audio. Prior to starting ConveyMED, Mike was the SVP of Global Marketing for the Orthopedic division of Smith & Nephew where he held multiple leadership roles in product marketing, medical education, marketing communications, R&D, and commercialization. As a former physical therapist, Mike understands the importance of ongoing clinical education for the sake of optimal patient care.

| 26 Jun 2020 | Why I started a podcast | 00:11:29 | |
There are two main reasons I started a podcast.
Mentioned in this episode
At the 2nd Medipreneurs Conference (Asheville, NC) in April 2019, Dr. Erin L. Albert gave a talk about becoming a thought leader through writing and publishing. She also mentioned that podcasting can help you become a thought leader. Dr. Albert encouraged me to start a podcast. That was 14 months ago, and I barely knew what a podcast was. I barely listened to them either. Audiobooks were more my thing. That has changed! Now, I listen to both! I don’t know that I ever would have looked into podcasting if it weren’t for Dr. Albert. I didn’t understand how podcasting could help my career, and I didn’t know how to start a podcast. Why start a podcast then? When a successful pharmacist entrepreneur gives you advice, it’s important to at least consider it. Plus, I wanted to see if Dr. Albert was right. Should I start a podcast? The second reason why I started a podcast has to do with my business, The Pharmacist’s Voice. When I tried to connect podcasting and being a thought leader to my business, it didn’t make sense. It didn’t fit because I’m so early in my voiceover career. How can I be a thought leader already? But, I kept an open mind and researched podcasting more. Eventually, I learned that I could use my podcast as a business tool. I learned how to podcast from Dave Jackson and his online course The School of Podcasting in October 2019. I built the podcast in November, and I launched it on December 4. Because I already knew how to record, edit, and produce audio from my voiceover industry training, building a podcast using Dave Jackson’s process was pretty straightforward. All I had to come up with a name, a format, and the other details. (This episode won’t dig into all those details.) If you are interested in starting a podcast, I would recommend doing three things.
There is more than one podcast format. Examples include roundtables, daily news, list shows, advice shows, recap shows, documentary shows, fiction shows, and more. One day, I heard about journey-style podcasts. That’s a format using story to tell how they got from point A to point B and what they learned. In my case, I was on a journey from pharmacist to voice actor. It was easy to pick the journey-style format for my podcast. A journey-style podcast would allow me to share how I used my voice as a pharmacist, where my journey took me, who I met along the way, and how they use their voices too. It was a great choice for me. The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast is a podcast, not a statue. Down the road, I could change the format of the podcast to something else, like an advice show. What I learned from both Dave Jackson and Kristen Meinzer’s book is that I can use my podcast to get the word out about my business! I’m a pharmacist, voice actor, and audiobook narrator. When I put that out into the world on a podcast, I position myself as those things for the world to see. That’s how it’s a business tool. I may have accidentally become a thought leader too. People interested in doing what I do contact me all the time. During my career - both pharmacy and voiceover - I have met all kinds of great people. I use my interview shows every other week to help them share how they use their voice as well. Here are 11 examples. Episode 3, Tom Titkemeier, my uncle who introduced me to the profession of pharmacy Episode 5, Harold Kinker was my first boss at Walgreens Episode 7, Nate Kehlmeier is a friend from the Wood County Addiction Task Force Episode 9, Dr. Asha Bohannon is a friend and pharmacist entrepreneur who I met at the first ever Medipreneurs Conference in 2018. Episode 11, Sue Paul and Michelle Fritsch, co-founders of the Medipreneurs Conference Episode 13, Dr. Bruce Berger, motivational interviewing expert who I met through the Medipreneurs organization Episode 15, Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin, a counseling psychologist and author I met on LinkedIn. She’s an expert on Imposter Syndrome, which I struggle with. Episode 17, Dave Bitkowski, an Ohio pharmacist entrepreneur and rare disease advocate Episode 19, Patty Weltin, rare disease advocate and Founder and CEO of Beyond the Diagnosis Episode 21, Longhaulpaul also known as Paul Pelland, a NH man with MS who is increasing MS awareness through long-distance motorcycling. Episode 23, Dr. Anna Garrett, hormone expert and author of Perimenopause: The Savvy Sister’s Guide to Hormone Harmony. This is episode 24, and my next four interview shows are all planned out. Let me tell you about them. Episode 25 will be next Friday, July 3, 2020. My guest is Dr. Muhammad Umar Hafeez, a pharmacist with an MBA living in Abu Dhabi, which is located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He is a telepharmacy advocate, and his practice sites include oil rigs (both onshore and offshore), remote sites in the desert, deep sea platforms, oil barges, and natural and man-made islands in the Arabian Gulf. Episode 27 will be Friday, July 17, 2020. My guest will be Dr. Wendy Stephan, Ph.D. She’s educator and epidemiologist with South Florida’s poison control center. Episode 29 will be on Friday, July 31, 2020. Dr. Jerrica Dodd will be my guest. She is a pharmacist entrepreneur. We met in April 2018 at the first Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, North Carolina. Episode 31 will be on Friday, August 14, 2020. My guest will be Dr. Allie Xu, a registered pharmacist from Australia. She is a holistic health and life coach specializing in emotional intelligence and the mind-body connection. In closing, I started my podcast because I was encouraged by another pharmacist podcaster, and I wanted to use my podcast as a business tool. I’m happy with how my podcast turned out. I get to share my journey. No one else has the exact same set of variables in their life that I have. I have a husband and two kids who I build my voiceover career around. 3 months ago, COVID changed life as we know it. The job I planned to do “in the margins” when my kids were at school got interrupted. I suddenly had to home school my kids. My husband lost his job May 1. I worked on my voiceover business full-time until my husband started interviewing for jobs again. It’s life; it’s interesting; and it’s my journey!

| 30 Dec 2022 | The Oath of a Pharmacist | 00:12:37 | |
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 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! Thank you for listening to episode 192 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!

| 20 Nov 2020 | Interview with Nancy Globus, PharmD; Medication Safety Expert | 00:36:18 | |
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.

| 10 Jun 2022 | Pharmacist Dads Series Part 2 of 4: Interview with Tony Guerra, PharmD | 01:01:58 | |
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. Thank you for listening to episode 156 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast! To read the full show notes, visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Click on the podcast tab, and search for episode 156. 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.

| 08 Nov 2020 | Setting the tone for "Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro" | 00:03:02 | |
Mentioned in this episode NaPodPoMo http://napodpomo.org Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro online course https://www.kimnewlove.com 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. The goal is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days. Except for Fridays, I’m publishing bite-sized episodes to help promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. Setting the tone is important. That’s why my course includes a list of student expectations. There are seven listed in the course. I’ll just share the most important one with you. It sets the tone for the course. Here it is: Focus on learning the correct pronunciations instead of focusing on being right. There’s a difference between wanting to get it right and wanting to be right. Our primary language, regional accent, and other factors affect how we pronounce drug names. Pronouncing drug names can be hard, and searching for pronunciations on the internet can be time-consuming and lead to the wrong answers. Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro is an online course that cuts the learning curve and shows you how to get the right answers right away. You’ll save time, feel confident, avoid criticism, earn trust, and feel less frustrated. | |||

| 15 May 2020 | Back to the Future Part III Helped Me Write Financial Goals With a Timeline | 00:12:16 | |
The movie Back to the Future Part III helped me write financial goals with a timeline. Plus an update from the first two weeks of May 2020: medical narration practice, auditioning, my new website, playing Ticket to Ride, and more! Mentioned in this episode
The last two weeks have been interesting! If you missed the last solo episode, here’s a super-quick recap. My husband lost his job two weeks ago, on Friday, May 1. His position was eliminated as a reduction in force (RIF). He’s agreed to be a stay-at-home Dad while I run my voiceover business full-time. For years, I have felt like life was holding me back. I wanted to work, but I couldn’t. It really sucks that something negative had to impact my husband’s job to give me the chance I needed, but there’s nothing holding me back now! I am excited for the opportunity. My husband is being very supportive. And, I love what I’m doing. I’m excited to grow my business! You might be wondering why I don’t just find a traditional pharmacist job. There are a number of reasons. The biggest one is that for the past 2.5 years, I have been training to do voiceover work, and now I have the chance to do it. Plus, I need to see how much income I can bring in over the next six months, and my husband needs to see what kind of jobs are out there for him. Speaking of money, my husband and I had a “talk.” It ended up having a Back to the Future Part III theme to it, which at least made it kinda fun. We set income goals and assigned them to a timeline. We got out the colored pencils and added green, yellow, and red marks on the timeline. Because my husband and I have a “budget meeting” every two weeks, we know exactly where our money goes. We figured out how much monthly income we need to survive. We are “Dave Ramsey People.” We graduated from Financial Peace University in March of 2013. Thanks to the program, we are excellent money managers, and our spending behaviors are well-controlled. Essentially, we figured out how long we can afford for my husband to stay unemployed while I build my voiceover business. We wrote down how much money I need to earn by December 2020, and every six months after that. If I’m not on track to support the family fully by January 2022, my husband needs to be employed again. It can take a while to find a job, so he’s thinking about next steps NOW. Back to the movie reference. We know it’s ok for me to work full-time as a voice actor right now, and we know when it will be time for one or both of us to try something else. We will be ok until December. Then, the scary times are going to come a little faster…just like that train in Back to the Future Part III. What have I been doing, other than setting goals and playing with colored pencils? Here are the highlights
May is turning out to be an interesting month! I’m working on my voiceover business full time, plugging away at goals, having fun with my family, and trying new things. I have a feeling a lot is going to happen in the next two weeks, and I’ll fill you in on Friday, May 29! | |||
| 16 Oct 2020 | Flip the script! | 00:09:33 | |
Today’s episode is about doing something unexpected. When you have a disadvantage, you can “flip the script!” Mentioned in this podcast Episode 4 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast 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.

| 01 Jul 2022 | Pronunciation Series Episode 6, IMLYGIC® (talimogene laherparepvec) | 00:08:57 | |
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! To read the full show notes, visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Click on the podcast tab, and search for episode 159. 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.)
T-VEC = T-VEC
talimogene laherparepvec = tal IM oh jeen la HER pa REP vek
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.

| 25 Sep 2020 | Interview with Dr. Eleni Mastro, independent consultant pharmacist | 00:26:01 | |
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. Mentioned in this episode Dr. Mastro's Website: www.compliance-reach.com Email: em@compliance-reach.com Facebook: Compliance Reach Pharmacy Consulting Eleni Mastro LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleni-mastro/ Brand Institute https://www.brandinstitute.com American Pharmacists Association (APhA) https://www.pharmacist.com American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) https://www.ascp.com Blair Thielemier PharmD linkedin.com/in/btpharmacyconsulting Pharmapreneur Academy *AFFILIATE LINK* Coupon code for $50 off Month 1 is: VOICE50 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. If you are a patient, family member, caregiver, or facility interested in reaching out to Dr. Mastro, please visit www.compliance-reach.com or e-mail Dr. Eleni Mastro em@compliance-reach.com. | |||

| 07 Feb 2020 | Mistakes I have made | 00:14:24 | |
Episode 04 Show notes: Mistakes I have made I have made mistakes along my journey from pharmacist to voice actor. It’s ok to share your mistakes. Why would I create a podcast episode to talk about mistakes I have made? I want you to know that I’m human. I make mistakes, but I try to fail forward. I learn from my mistakes, and I don’t give up. Whenever possible, I like to learn from the mistakes of others. It saves me the hassle of making the same mistake. 7 of my mistakes
In summary, I’m human, and I have made mistakes. Will I make more? You bet! Am I going to give up because of them? No! Will I learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others? Of course! I’m enjoying my transition from pharmacist to voice actor, and I’m taking the good with the bad. If you’re making a transition too, give yourself some grace. Making a big change can be hard. You will make mistakes. Use your failures to do better in the future. Don’t give up. And, if possible, learn from the mistakes of others.

| 28 Oct 2023 | Drug Disposal Quiz Answers | 00:56:44 | |
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).

| 16 Apr 2021 | Online courses for VO and podcasting beginners and 7 audio recording software options | 00:09:40 | |
Today’s episode is about three common questions people ask me:
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
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:
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
Audacity
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! | |||

| 06 Oct 2023 | How do you say naltrexone (Vivitrol)? Pronunciation Series Episode 21 | 00:09:25 | |
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. Thank you for listening to episode 245 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!

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.

I’m celebrating some big wins! March 2020 has been a great month for me. I’m celebrating 10 episodes of this podcast. Level One Improv Class is done. I recorded my medical narration demo. My audiobook demos on ACX are halfway done, and I’m plugging along on my Toastmasters journey. Things are going well, and I’m excited about what lies ahead.
Since I started this podcast in December 2019, I have had hundreds of downloads and, according to my podcast stats, my listeners are in 22 states and 10 countries. Thank you for listening!
I also want to thank Dave Jackson for teaching me how to Podcast and my classmates at the School of Podcasting for their support and advice.
When I first realized I needed to take an improv class, I was on a lunch break from the VOcation Conference in New York City. It was a beautiful September afternoon in 2019. I was chowing on some BBQ and hanging out on a bench in Riverside Park with dozens of other voice actors.
Keith Norton and Jen Olaya, in particular, recommended I take an improv class. They told me it would help me become a better voice actor. My brain didn’t make the connection between improv and voiceover at first. I didn’t have my “aha" moment until this month (March 2020).
Everything I knew about Improv, I learned about 20 years ago from a TV show called Whose Line is it Anyway.
Throughout the VOcation NYC conference, other presenters and students mentioned improv. When I got back to Ohio and continued audiobook narration lessons at the end of September, my teacher, Sean Pratt, also suggested I get improv training. I found an Improv Class at Glass City Improv in Toledo, OH. I signed up for Level One Improv Class. That’s the “beginner” class.
Improv Class started Monday, January 25, and was taught by Erin Kanary and Jeremy Natter. Classes were 2 and a half hours long every Monday for 8 weeks. Our last class was Monday, March 9. We were supposed to have a show on Friday the 13th of March, but it was cancelled due Ohio’s new social-distancing requirements.
Improv class taught me to say, “Yes, and…” After all, that’s the mantra of improv! “Yes, and…”
In the process of learning, I had a ton of fun. I didn’t know what to expect, but I must say that each class was like a grown-up birthday party full of games. It was so fun, and I laughed so much, that my face hurt from laughing and smiling after every class. The class had great chemistry. Not only did we have fun in class, but we also bonded after class over drinks and conversation at a local bar called “The Attic.” It was great. We had a blast.
Apart from becoming a better improvisor in class, over the 8-week class, my narration skills, timing, and delivery all improved. I became more spontaneous, and I felt like I could make different choices with the material I was narrating. I think improv class helped me make the most out of my medical narration demo on March 11, too. Mission accomplished! Improv helped me become a better narrator. I had my “aha” moment after 8 weeks of improv class.
One of my improv classmates and I have special voices for our pets. Spoiler alert! I just watched Frozen II, and the character Christoff talks for his reindeer “Sven” too!
My theory is that more improv classes can help. There are at least three levels of improv classes at Glass City Improv. So, I plan to sign up for Level Two next time it is offered. I already miss laughing and playing games!
Favorite warm-ups: 10-second story, Zip-Zap-Zop, Da-Do-Da-Do, and object work exercises.
Favorite games: “Gone in 60 seconds,” “Google Translate,” “New Choice,” “Advice Panel,” and “Freeze.”
I had a blast in Level One Improv Class, and it has made me a better narrator.
Do you love a story with a happy ending? Then, you will like my medical narration demo story!
In October 2017, I visited Level 2 Audio, the nearest recording studio to my home. The owner, Mark, kindly offered to meet with me for about an hour to show me his studio and talk with me about my idea to narrate pharmacy continuing education journals into audiobook format.
Refer to Episode Two of this podcast. Mark is the one who got me started on my Voiceover Journey two and a half years ago. After we met, he gave me the name of a coach (Nancy Wolfson) and some information to consider. The rest is history.
Without Mark’s knowledge, I spent almost two and a half years figuring out what to do with my original idea and ultimately learning the business of voiceover and training to be a voice actor who specializes in medical narration and e-learning. Mark and I had not spoken since October 2017.
Between fall 2017 and March 2020, I worked with David Rosenthal, among other coaches. The first time David and I ever spoke, I didn’t know how much work I needed to become proficient at medical narration. After reading scripts with him in a private lesson, he knew what I needed to do. For starters, I needed to take a 3-part group medical narration class. During the group class, I improved dramatically. After a year of various voiceover training classes, including private coaching with David, I was finally ready to record my demo! Everything I did over the past two and a half years helped - from improv class, to audiobook narration class to support and input from my accountability buddies.
This is all going to seem very serendipitous, but in a round-about way, Mark kicked off my voiceover career, and I am very pleased to say that he recorded my medical narration demo in his studio on March 11, 2020. The demo is in post-production through David Rosenthal right now, and I hope to have it by the end of the March 2020.
As a surprise bonus, Mark offered to include my demo on the “samples” page of Level 2 Audio’s website, which features professional voice talents the studio recommends. I am flattered, and I’m looking forward to sharing the demo with Level 2 Audio soon.
Something in my life came full-circle on March 11, and it felt good!!
As I have been working my way through audiobook narration classes with Sean Pratt, I have been recording and uploading my demos to ACX.com, which is a matchmaking site that connects authors and narrators who want to record audiobooks to sell on Audible, which is Amazon’s audiobook seller. My goal is six demos on the site, and I have 3 now. Half way there!
The last milestone I want to share is that I joined a Toastmasters Club in January 2020. After 3 months of being a guest, I finally joined. I love my club! Toastmasters is a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. My club is called Westgate Toastmasters Club 3159, and we meet in Toledo, OH.
Why would I want to join, and why is this a mile stone? I wanted to join to become a more confident speaker, communicator, and leader. It’s a milestone because I’m at the beginning of a journey to gaining even more skills that will help me in my voiceover career and in life. A journey begins with a single step!
October 18, 2019, was my first meeting. The Table Topics Master was Joe, and the theme was “celebrating grandparents.”
I didn’t know anything about Toastmasters meetings, and I got called to the front of the room to share a 1-2 minute story about my grandparents. I told a story about the small town where I was raised and the Grandma who wrote me many letters when I left for college, got married, and started a family. I saved her letters, and when she was on her deathbed, I read the letters to her. She had Alzheimer’s Disease. Her memory had faded, but on her last day, I sensed she knew who I was and enjoyed hearing me read those letters to her.
Little did I know that the “table topics” part of the meeting was a contest, and I won The Best Table Topics ribbon for my story. That meant more to me than I can say.
I need to give credit where credit is due though. I had just read the book Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks the week before my first Toastmasters meeting. I used what he taught me about storytelling to win the ribbon. (The secret is out!)
I was so excited about winning the ribbon at Toastmasters that I Tweeted about it. I’m not a big Twitter user, but I saw an opportunity to thank the author for the lessons I learned and give Mike, who invited me in the first place, a shout out. I’m glad I put the message out there. The author of Storyworthy - Matthew Dicks - congratulated me in return!
At each Toastmasters meeting, I learn even more lessons about storytelling and speech craft by hearing members speak. I’m excited to be a new member, learn, and grow.

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.

| 18 Mar 2022 | My 2022 Press Kit | 00:22:26 | |
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!

Recently, Dr. Asha published a book entitled To Medicate or Not? That Is the Question: How to Improve Your Blood Test Results, in which she describes her 7 Steps to H.A.R.M.O.N.Y.™ and the many factors that come into play in order to achieve a healthier life.
Her newest passion comes in the form of a collaboration with her husband Eric: helping other Pharmacists find their passion and purpose and create the opportunity that is right for them. With their Biz Rx™ service, they want to be “The prescription for YOUR business!”
I invited Asha to be on my podcast because she advocates for patient health and wellness as well as pharmacist entrepreneurship in her practice at PAI Wellness Group. We met at the 2018 Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, North Carolina. I’m glad we met, and it’s been a pleasure to watch her develop her business over the past two years.
You can find the book To Medicate or Not? That Is the Question: The Ultimate Guide to Improving Blood Test Results at bit.ly/ToMedicateOrNot
Another book in the works. It is unrelated to the first book.
Q: How did this all get started? A: Asha’s personal health journey.
2 services are offered by PAI Wellness Group
Q: When did you realize you had a passion for coaching? A: For years! It took time to create a business and offer services.
Q: Has your clientele grown? A: Yes! For Biz Rx™, Eric and Asha met their first clients at Medipreneurs 2019. Pharmacists are looking to leave traditional practice. Asha and Eric can help. Free 30-minute consults are available.
Q: Do you only coach pharmacists to create wellness practices? A: No. Lots of niches have come through: women’s health, migraine, travel, and more. Services can be created based on the client’s needs. Clients create private practices.
Q: What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen so far in your business? A: In her wellness practice, some people will not spend money on their own healthcare. In Biz Rx™, some Pharmacists undervalue themselves.
Q: What do you love most about your business? A: Flexibility: working around family’s schedule. Asha wears a lot of hats. She has a flexible schedule and can work with clients on their time. She also enjoys working with her husband. Making an impact on the profession of pharmacy is very rewarding too!
Q: How did you overcome the fear and the little voice in your head that you can’t do this, Asha? A: It’s a growing process. It took her some time to get over her own imposter syndrome. Now, she gets to help others get over it! “Just do it. Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. Keep moving forward.” Asha is also inspired by her kids; she doesn’t want them to see her fail.
Q: What’s something people don’t realize about being a pharmacist mom and an entrepreneur? A: It’s difficult to be in a traditional pharmacist role. She missed a lot of her kids’s stuff because she was tied to her work schedule. She was stressed and couldn’t be present. As a pharmacist Mom entrepreneur, she enjoys the flexibility of being present for her job, her family, and her other commitments.
Q: Agree or disagree, starting a business is like having another child? A: Agree. The first 2-3 years during launch, yes! Her business sets her soul on fire. She wants to jump out of bed in the morning and work!
Q: What did it feel like when you got that first client? A: AMAZING! But, nerve-wracking. She wants to deliver the results clients need. Extra time and energy goes into making sure everything is just right so that she gives a good quality experience. (That goes for both sides of Asha’s business!)
Q: What is the best thing that has happened to you since you started? A: Being able to help people and make an impact in their lives. Also, helping people find options they haven’t considered yet. | |||

Saying drug names can be hard. Knowing how to pronounce them will free up mental space to help you focus on the reasons you entered your profession instead of struggling with drug names. If you have a list of floor-stock meds, standing-order protocols, or an entire class of drugs you can’t pronounce, Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro can help. | |||
| 31 Jan 2020 | Interview with Tom Titkemeier | 00:20:33 | |
I interviewed my Uncle Tom Titkemeier in November 2019, in Toledo, OH. This is THE FIRST PODCAST I ever recorded. The show notes include insights from the interview, Uncle Tom’s contact info, and organizations and websites mentioned. There were street sweepers, dump trucks, and other heavy machines collecting leaves in the street right outside the window where we recorded this episode. I can’t hear the machines on the recording, but now you know the behind-the-scenes story! Thank you for listening, and enjoy! Tom Titkemeier, Registered Pharmacist Toledo, OH 1977 University of Toledo BS Pharmacy Graduate E-mail titkemeier@ameritech.net LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/thomas-titkemeier-0887926a Q: Why did you become a pharmacist? A: Started in science classes before choosing pharmacy as a major. Needed a degree that would lead to a job. His older brother was in the pharmacy program 2 years ahead of him and set a good example. Q: Why did you pick UT? A: Wanted to get away from home, live on campus, and have “the college experience.” Didn’t want to go to nearby BGSU (Bowling Green State University). To learn more about the University of Toledo (UT) visit https://www.utoledo.edu. To learn more about BGSU, visit https://www.bgsu.edu. Q: When you first graduated [pharmacy school], where did you work? A: After interning at St. Vincent’s Medical Center (St. V’s) during pharmacy school, no job was available upon graduation. He worked at Toledo Hospital briefly instead. To learn more about Toledo Hospital, visit https://www.promedica.org/toledo-hospital/pages/default.aspx. When a job opened up at St. V’s, he went back to St. V’s for 40+ years. To learn more about St. V’s, visit https://www.mercy.com/locations/hospitals/toledo/mercy-health-st-vincent-medical-center. Uncle Tom inspired me to become a pharmacist. I tell my Pharmacy Campers (11 graders) about him each summer at UT’s Pharmacy Summer Camp. Uncle Tom worked in the Surgery Pharmacy at St. V’s for decades. He was a team player and worked well with others. He knew how to do his job well, and I admired him. I went to work with him one day when I was in the 8th grade, ~13 years old, around 1991. I “shadowed him” at his job for a school assignment. I got to wear surgical scrubs, which looked and felt like pajamas! I watched my uncle make surgical solutions and deliver them to operating rooms. The operating room staff let me watch surgeries, and I witnessed them function as a team. I like math and science, and I love to help people. Pharmacy was a natural choice after seeing Uncle Tom at work. My students love this story. To learn more about the camp, visit https://www.utoledo.edu/pharmacy/camp/ Because Uncle Tom and I went to the same pharmacy school, we had some of the same professors. We worked as pharmacists in the same city knew many of the same people. Uncle Tom retired after 40 years with the same hospital, at the age of 64. It was a personal choice. “You don’t know how much time you have.” Uncle Tom and his wife (my Aunt Janet) decided to retire and focus on mission work and do things that they didn’t have time to do while working. Aunt Janet retired 1 year after Uncle Tom retired. Health insurance was a consideration. He was able-bodied and at the top of his game professionally. “Pharmacists never retire. They just die.” Uncle Tom used to tease me about this when I was in college. He did retire, however, which spoiled the myth he joked with me about for 20 years! Q: What are you doing with your license now that you retired? Are you giving up being a pharmacist? A: He is still licensed as a pharmacist. So is Aunt Janet. They volunteer as pharmacists and also spread the word of God to other parts of the world on Mission Trips with Christian Medical and Dental Association. To learn more about Christian Medical and Dental Association, visit https://cmda.org. He has been to Central America, The Gambia in Africa, and Beirut. Language barriers are a challenge. Q: When will you give up your license? A: No date in mind. Keeping up is more of a challenge in retirement, but not difficult. Mentoring young people is important. You never know when time spent with a young person will have an impact. Be a positive influence. Being able to focus and listen is important to being a pharmacist. Q: What words of advice would you give to a young person considering a career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences? A: Have perseverance. Competition is a big barrier to getting into pharmacy school. Persevere, focus, and stay on the path.

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.

| 26 Jul 2024 | Interview with Helen Sairany, PharmD (2024 Pharmacist Authors Series Part 2 of 3) | 00:54:49 | |
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:
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.

| 12 Jun 2020 | How I funneled my business ideas down to just one (includes business ideas I didn’t use) | 00:17:01 | |
In episode 22, I talk about how I funneled my business ideas down to just one. When people meet me and learn that I am a voice actor, the most common question they ask is, “How did you get started doing THAT?” Mentioned in this episode Road House featuring Patrick Swayze (1989) Pharmacy Camp at The University of Toledo Prevention Specialist (Wood County, OH) Injury Prevention Specialist - Amazon (Rossford, OH) Injury Prevention Specialist - Tesla (Fremont, CA) Wood County Board of Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS Board) Drug Disposal Box List Wood County, OH Wood County Addiction Task Force Poison Help Line 1-800-222-1222 In Episode 1 of this podcast, I mentioned that I came up with the idea to narrate pharmacist continuing education journals into audio format. I went forward with the narration business idea because I felt I had a problem I could solve and get paid for providing a service. When I picked that idea and ran with it, however, I left several other ideas behind. I funneled my business ideas down to just one. Recently, I found a list from summer 2017, with all the business ideas I considered. That was 3 years ago! I had decided to start a business, and I knew I wanted to provide narration services. I just hadn’t funneled my ideas down to just one thing yet. I also didn’t know that the voiceover industry even existed at that point. 3 years ago, in the summer of 2017, having a narration business was one of many business ideas. Working a traditional pharmacist job wasn’t an option. I needed a part-time job I could do “in the margins," so-to-speak. We don’t have affordable, reliable, skilled childcare for our 17-year-old son with autism. My business ideas centered around keeping my schedule flexible and my availability open if my kids had an unexpected illness, an emergency, a school delay, or a school closing. I spent 19 years building a reputation as a reliable and responsible pharmacist. It wouldn’t take me long to tarnish my reputation with a string of cancellations. When I was looking to start a business, it was during a time that I volunteered extensively. I love to help people, yet I wanted to work. I wanted to have a job. But, I couldn’t get a job because I was volunteering too much. Plus, I was needed at home to run the house and be there for the kids. My husband understands me very well, and he had a good point when he told me that, “If you want to have a business and make money, you have to stop giving your time away.” I needed to hear that. Every entrepreneur does. I have heard that advice many times since. At first, I tried to find a way to monetize what I was doing as a volunteer. I’m passionate about drug abuse prevention education, poisoning prevention education, medication safety education, advocating drug take-back days, and speaking to high school students considering a career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences. You might be wondering, what are the ideas I left behind? Get ready for a list of 4 ideas I didn’t use. #1 Medicine cabinet clean-out service. Another title I considered for this was “Drug Take-Back Consultant” I wanted to go into people’s homes and help them clean out their medicine cabinets. Literally, I would help them get their stuff out of the house and get rid of it the right way. Once we had a clean slate, we would come up with a current list of medications and a shopping list of items to replace, if needed. This is a great time to stick in a public service announcement. Disposing of unwanted, unused, and expired medications properly prevents theft, drug misuse and abuse (which can lead to addiction), and accidental poisonings and overdoses. In addition, it protects the environment and saves lives. I would have enjoyed having a medicine cabinet clean-out service. I love to organize information, and I’m passionate about drug take-back. #2 Analog personal health record organizer. I wanted to use this idea as an add-on service from the medicine cabinet clean-out service I just mentioned. If you’re a pharmacist and can monetize this idea, go for it. EVERY TOWN IN AMERICA NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL WHO ORGANIZES HEALTH INFORMATION FOR OTHERS. This idea reminds me of the movie Road House, featuring Patrick Swayze. At one point, Patrick Swayze’s character gets injured and has to go to the doctor. When he gets to the doctor, he hands over his CHART. His entire medical history is in a physical chart in his hands. He can go to whomever he wants for care and not have to worry about having an accurate written medical history. All the information is in one place! I thought it would be a good idea to go to patient homes and help them get their information all into one place. Then, anyone who needs access to that information in an emergency could have it: caregivers, children, siblings, neighbors. Here is the list of 11 items I would have included in an analog personal health record:
I did not move forward with this business idea because I was unsure how to monetize it. I also needed permission from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to store patient information in my home. I’d love to revisit this business idea some day. It would probably make a great on-line course. #3 Attend a doctor’s appointment with a patient. I wanted to offer this as an add-on service to one of the last two services I mentioned. Some people just need a second set of ears at an appointment. I would take notes during the visit, help them follow through with their provider’s plan, and help them ask questions. #4 Keynote Speaker I actually ended up doing this. After more than 10 years of volunteering to speak at a Pharmacy Summer Camp for high school students considering a career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences at The University of Toledo, I became a paid speaker. It’s only one day a year. I would love to speak at other events on topics I’m passionate about. I’m not actively pursuing keynote speaking at this time though. Why didn’t I pursue any of these ideas? They’re all reasonable, and they all appeal to me.
I would have taken more risks and found a way to make it work if I wanted to do the work badly enough. I love to help people, and I would have loved the challenge of using my identity as a pharmacist to clean out medicine cabinets, organize health information, attend appointments, or book more keynote-speaking gigs. It didn’t work out, and I’m at peace about it. I also considered working for someone else in the areas that I liked to volunteer. I considered becoming a Prevention Specialist, an Injury prevention specialist, joining the staff at my county’s ADAMHS Board, working at a Poison Control Call Center, and becoming a High School Counselor. Here’s why each of them appealed to me. #1 Prevention Specialist I would have worked in a school and educated students about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and supported staff as needed. Drug abuse prevention education is a passion of mine. I volunteer with my county’s Addiction Task Force - formerly Opiate Task Force. I help with outreach events and provide input as a pharmacist. I also advocate drug take-back days. I create, update, and distribute my county’s list of drug disposal boxes. The list is used by behavioral health agencies, police and fire departments, libraries, and other places in my county. I volunteer because I care. I also happen to be the only pharmacist in the group. #2 Injury Prevention Specialist Injury prevention specialists are problem-solvers. They assess safety problems and determine the leading causes of serious injuries. Then, they provide outreach and education or affect policy changes that will help prevent injuries. They get data from businesses, hospitals, clinics, and death certificates. Ex: The Amazon Distribution Center in Rossford, OH is hiring an injury prevention specialist. Tesla is looking for one in their Fremont, CA site. Injury prevention is important, and those jobs interest me. I do volunteer with an injury-prevention coalition called Safe Kids Greater Toledo. There are 3 things I do for them: Poisoning Prevention Education, Medication Safety Education, and Drug Take-Back Day Advocacy. Safe Kids Greater Toledo focuses on preventing injuries in children birth through age 14. I volunteer at elementary schools, health fairs, and other outreach events (“Safe Kids Day”). I prevent injuries when I teach children and adults about the poison help line, pretty poisons, and keeping things out of sight and out of reach. The poison help line number is 1-800-222-1222. (#3) The third non-pharmacy job I considered was working for the Wood County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS Board). I love volunteering with my county’s Addiction Task Force. It is co-chaired by the Director of Community Programs for the Wood County ADAMHS Board. I believe in what they do so strongly that I considered applying for a job. They provide support services for individuals with serious or persistent mental illness and addiction disorders in our county. #4 Poison Control Call Center Worker I have a passion for poisoning prevention. It should be no surprise that I considered working for a poison control center. I didn’t look into it too hard, but I think I would have liked the work. I plan to interview someone who works for the poison control helpline on this podcast and learn more about what they do. (#5) Finally, the fifth non-pharmacy job I considered was School Counselor. Even though I love working with teenagers and talking to them at career day. I did not pursue this idea. I would have needed additional education, and it would have led to a full-time job outside the home. Even though I didn’t become a school counselor, I continue to volunteer at high school career days. Life is complicated. Of these last five opportunities, some required additional education, and all had inflexible work hours. So, I didn’t pursue them. I funneled my ideas down to just one. Because of life circumstances and the lifestyle my husband and I want for our family, I felt that the only idea that could possibly work was becoming a narrator. In the voiceover industry, I can work “in the margins” while the kids are at school or in the evenings. The additional education I need can be done from home at my own pace. I can slowly ramp up the business instead of immediately working 40 hours/week. If my family has an emergency, I’m home. The potential income is higher than anything else I considered too. It took me almost 2 years to funnel my ideas down to just one. I looked at my strengths, interests, and availability. What I ended up with is something I absolutely love. Like I mentioned in the first episode, I think I found the job Mark Twain alluded to in his famous quote, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast has listeners in 22 countries and 37 US States. | |||

His School of Podcasting show has over 2.5 million downloads. To learn more, visit www.schoolofpodcasting.com.

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). | |||

| 12 Apr 2024 | 10 lessons I learned from raising a child with autism - Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month 2024 | 00:30:00 | |
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.

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.

| 03 Sep 2021 | Resources for pronouncing drug names | 00:17:53 | |
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 Fulton County Fair (Northwest Ohio) FDA Medication Guides 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:
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. 🖥Check out my websites, and connect with me on social media: ✅Business website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com ✅The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast ✅Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro © Online Course https://www.kimnewlove.com ✅LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnewlove ✅Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kim.newlove.96 ✅Twitter https://twitter.com/KimNewloveVO ✅Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kimnewlovevo/ ✅ACX (Audiobook Narrator Profile) https://www.acx.com/narrator?p=A10FSORRTANJ4Z | |||

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. 🔗 If you would like to connect with Dr. Leslie Hodge, reach out through LinkedIn.

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.

| 12 Nov 2020 | One big reason to pronounce drug names correctly | 00:03:48 | |
Mentioned in this episode FDA-Approved Drugs Search Page NaPodPoMo http://napodpomo.org Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro online course https://www.kimnewlove.com 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. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro! Pronouncing drug names can be hard. One big reason to say drug names correctly is that it keeps the focus on what the drug can do instead of how to pronounce it. When it comes to medicine, the general public wants to feel assured that whomever is speaking knows what they’re talking about. | |||
| 29 Apr 2022 | Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month Solo Episode (April 2022) | 01:51:44 | |
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. Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast Episode 147.

| 21 May 2021 | Interview with Maureen Garrity, NABP Competency Assessment Director, on how a foreign pharmacy graduate can become a US pharmacist | 00:28:37 | |
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. NABP Website and Social Media Links Website https://nabp.pharmacy Vocabulary terms and acronyms. (Click the links to learn more.) ATT Authorization to Test FPGEE Identification Card Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee FPGEC Candidate Application Bulletin Outlines application details and requirements for becoming FPGEC Certified Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Communication tool used by NABP, pharmacists, and others. North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam Peason VUE Testing Centers deliver the FPGEE, NAPLEX, and MPJE examinations in-person. Pre-FPGEE FPGEE practice exam using past questions. It can be purchased in the NABP eProfile. Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-based Test Everything a foreign pharmacy graduate needs to know about becoming a US pharmacist is in the FPGEC Candidate Application Bulletin. First, a candidate must become FPGEC Certified: ✅Complete the FPGEC Certification Application. ✅Pass the TOEFL iBT according to the NABP’s requirements. ✅Pass the FPGEE 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. | |||
| 01 Jan 2021 | Interview with Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon: Pharmacist, Entrepreneur, Author, and Business Coach | 00:47:42 | |
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. Websites and Social Media Links Website: www.ashapaibohannon.com Email: asha@ashapaibohannon.com Books: 2. To Medicate or Not? That Is the Question: The Ultimate Guide to Improving Blood Test Results Instagram: instagram.com/dr.ashapaibohannon Impact Pharmacist FB Group: https://bit.ly/ImpactPharmacist 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! | |||

Thank you Iqbal for being my guest on The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast Episode 158! | |||
| 11 Dec 2020 | Time management and producing audio files | 00:10:46 | |
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. | |||

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.

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:

| 29 Nov 2020 | The curse of knowledge | 00:03:39 | |
Mentioned in this episode Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro Online Course ISMP’s List of Confused Drug Names State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy November 2020 Newsletter 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. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course: Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. 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. | |||
| 11 Mar 2022 | PGX Pharmacists Series Part 4 of 4, Interview Jamie Wilkey, PharmD | 00:51:41 | |
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. She has taught over 160+ pharmacists how to change their careers. Dr. Wilkey is a member of CPIC as well as the nonprofit organization GTMR, and ASCP. She has been featured on over 15 podcasts in the past year, in Pharmacy Times, on Kajabi, and was recently voted as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Leaders in Pharmacy.
Jamie is optimistic about the future of pharmacy and knows great things are in store for those pharmacists who are willing to push boundaries, to think big, and to use the full extent of their education. Thank you for listening to episode 139 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!

Subscribe to or Follow The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast! 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’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?
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.

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). | |||

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.

| 14 Aug 2020 | Interview with Allie Xu, The Chinese Medicine Pharmacist | 00:47:24 | |
Today’s episode is an interview with Allie Xu, The Chinese Medicine Pharmacist. She’s an Australian Pharmacist, entrepreneur, holistic health coach, Period Pride Advocate, and Chinese Medicine student. The information, opinions, and recommendations presented in this Podcast are for general information only. This Podcast should not be considered professional medical advice. Allie was born and raised in a fourth-generation medical family in Shanghai, China and moved to Australia when she was 15 years old. She’s a registered pharmacist and holistic health coach. Currently, Allie is completing her Master of Chinese Medicine with a major in Acupuncture. As a holistic health coach, she is passionate about showing the connection between emotion, mind, and body. She uses Eastern and Western Medicine philosophies and coaching methods to assist her clients to first notice imbalances and then work to achieve balance. The goal is to maintain optimal health and avoid chronic illness—both mental and physical—down the line. She is the Founder of the Global Pharmacy Entrepreneur Community, the host of Pharmacy Entrepreneur TV on YouTube, and the host of Pharmacy Entrepreneur Podcast. Allie invites Pharmacists from different parts of the world to network and develop an Entrepreneur Mindset and skills. Social Media, contact info, social media, and websites Global Pharmacy Entrepreneurs YouTube Channel Highlights from the interview Allie advocates networking, collaborating, connecting people, and building relationships. She helps pharmacists who feel trapped in a traditional pharmacist role. The Global Pharmacy Entrepreneur Community was founded to connect innovative pharmacists from different parts of the world who want to learn about entrepreneurship, mindset, and skills so they can be healthier and happier both mentally and physically. She helps people who are experiencing gender-based discrimination, humiliation, and oppression, especially women. Allie advocates Period Pride. She joined a “hack-a-thon” at the University of Queensland to help remove the shame and stigma associated with menstruation. Her team partnered with an Australian charity group called “Share the Dignity,” which distributes period products to women who are homeless, at-risk, and/or experiencing domestic violence. Donated period products are available, however, some women are too ashamed to ask for them. Allie believes that period shame and stigma need to be addressed in young, school-aged girls (age 12-18). Advocating Period Pride important to Allie because health professionals can talk to young women about this topic and make a difference. The period is a natural process, and we shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about it. Safety is an issue, and the right products need to be used. Men and young men need to be educated too so they can support the women they care about. Use #periodpride to show your support of Period Pride. Allie is also an educator. She educates pharmacists to take time to find their motivation, core values, vision, strengths and weaknesses, personality, “why,” and more. Have a vision first. Allie is pursuing her Master of Chinese Medicine with a major in Acupuncture. Some may seek acupuncture to improve sleep, energy, and stress levels. She will graduate and become a practitioner in 2021. Some of the students in her class are chiropractors, general practitioners, naturopathic practitioners, and nurses. She may pursue a PhD after the Master of Chinese Medicine so she can specialize. She is exploring her options now and trying to figure out what problems she wants to solve. Allie is a holistic health coach and life coach. She uses Eastern and Western Medicine. She uses tools to assess physical health, emotional health, financial health, relationship health, career health, creativity, environment, and family history. Her clients are women. She helps them find their purpose and what drives them. Then, she addresses the mind-body connection and helps them regulate their emotions and stay motivated. Allie became interested in practicing Chinese Medicine because of family influence. Allie was raised knowing both Eastern and Western medicine. Allie was curious how Chinese Medicine could help prevent disease and lead to a long, healthy life. Plus, she wanted to understand her heritage more deeply from the Chinese Medicine point of view. Allie also uses her voice on social media. She has a YouTube Channel, a Podcast, and a Facebook Group. She interviews successful pharmacist entrepreneurs from different parts of the world. She also interviews entrepreneurs in other industries (ex: tech and business). It helps expose pharmacists to other entrepreneurs. The opportunities a full-time pharmacist has to network are limited. Allie can provide a service to them through her social media channels. She believes that the entrepreneurs who consumer her content are growth-minded and innovative. She truly enjoys getting to know entrepreneurs from around the globe, building relationships, collaborating, and networking. Allie invites people to share questions and accomplishments on her platforms. Check out Allie’s social media channels: Global Pharmacy Entrepreneurs YouTube Channel What’s a typical week like for Allie? She works as a pharmacist in a community practice setting one day/week. She is a student. She consults online. She is an advocate and a networker.
