Guest Introduction:

Dipak Shah came to the United States with only $6 in his pocket, a bag of clothes and a bag of food. As a student, he had to work to feed himself, his wife and his 6 month old son at $2-$3 per hour. But his aspirations were very high. He bought a pharmacy from $8000 - his life savings. He grew his business from one store in New York to a network of 23 stores today - earning him a handsome income while he celebrates his birthday on the beach. In this episode with Dipak Shah, we dive into the mathematics of opening a retail pharmacy and the struggles of operating your first business, before success becomes a virtuous cycle.
