Today we have with us Dr. Joe Spillane, who is a clinical toxicologist working at a very busy Emergency Department.  He has taught courses on substance use disorders for many years, as well as provided dozens if not hundreds of presentations on the topic to groups ranging from pharmacists and physicians to community organizations.  He has seen first hand what various drugs can do to a person through his many years working in the ED and will be talking to us today about cocaine, which has been an issue in North Florida for quite some time.  Welcome!

Today we have with us a man who needs no introduction, the one and only Michael Jackson.  As our listeners likely know, Michael was the CEO of the Florida Pharmacy Association for many years and recently retired.  I have heard about his many exciting vacations he has taken since retiring, especially the cruises, and thought it would be fun to bring him on to discuss retirement in general as I know this is an exciting prospect for our listeners as we look forward to that day.

Today we have with us Philip Rogero (Ro-hair-oh), financial advisor with Rogero Wealth Planning.  I thought it would be great to bring on someone to give us some information regarding our wealth health which Philip has long been doing for our pharmacy students.  This is an area that I feel is so important for pharmacy students and pharmacists as they move through their career, yet we don’t talk enough about it.

He provides personalized financial planning services and helps his clients to define and achieve their financial goals and protect the ones they love.

Today I want to talk about Pharmacy and Entrepreneurial ship.  If you look at the history of pharmacy and how the profession began, being an entrepreneur was really a large part of the profession as pharmacists opened their own drugstores and needed to maintain a business.  This has been very tough for many small independent pharmacies today as PBMs have been wreaking havoc on the ability for many pharmacies to stay open.  I want to welcome a guest today who really used his business skills that he learned on the job as a pharmacist and spread his wings beyond pharmacy.  So let’s welcome Dr. Eric Jakab!
