In this episode, I sit down with Scott Stewart, a pharmacist, Vice President of Clinical Services at PharmCareUSA, and motivational speaker, to explore how initiative, leadership, and faith have shaped his career in long-term care pharmacy.

We cover:

• What long-term care pharmacists do and how they improve patient outcomes

• How to build stronger relationships with doctors and healthcare teams

• Why initiative—not chance—creates career opportunities

• The power of faith and self-reflection in navigating setbacks

• How pharmacists can go beyond dispensing to create lasting impact

• Finding fulfillment by pursuing side gigs and creative passions

If you’re looking for real talk, career inspiration, and practical insights on excelling in pharmacy and beyond, this episode is for you!
