Highlights from this episode

I recorded this episode May 25, 2022, and released it Tuesday, May 31, 2022.  I was packing for vacation May 25.  I was ON vacation May 31.  Our plan includes three stops in Michigan:  Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Mackinac Island, and Traverse City (Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes).  School ends the week of May 23 where I live in Ohio, and Memorial Day weekend is a good time to get away as a family before summer activities get into full swing. 

Update on The Pharmacist’s Voice, LLC

During my update, I covered the following topics:

• What have I done?  
• What am I doing now?  
• What’s next?
• And, what’s in my way?

What have I done?

1. Taxes are done!  🥳
2. My most-recent audiobook project went retail! 🎉 I narrated Perimenopause:  The Savvy Sister’s Guide to Hormone Harmony by Dr. Anna Garrett.  Thank you Dr. Anna and LeeAnn Lessard at Lachesis Publishing Inc for selecting me as your narrator!  I couldn’t have done it without my audio engineer Julie Walthers.  She is an audio engineering QUEEN!  Thank you for all you do!  
3. I went to the Annual Conference of the Ohio Pharmacists Association in April.  I need to finish some optional online CE from that conference by June 8. Episode 143 is the recap of my experiences at the conference. 
4. In April, I was featured in Kimber Boothe’s book, titled Pharmfluencers: The Inspiring Stories of Pharmacy Entrepreneurs.
5. This spring, I learned a lot more about podcast show notes from the Podcast Show Notes Summit.  I started using https://otter.ai to transcribe podcast show notes this spring.
6. I also became a Peer Reviewer for pharmacy journal manuscript submissions, including the Journal of Pharmacy Technology. 

What am I doing now?  

It’s summer, and I’m in student mode right now.  I’m “sharpening my axe.”

• I’m taking Tim Tippets Audition Ready Online Course to sharpen my audio engineering skills. 
• After 4 years using the free version of Zoom, I finally upgraded to the Pro version.
• I’m trying out the free version of Calendly.  I LOVE it!  I’ll upgrade to the paid version this summer.  
• I’m updating the Podcast Tab on my website to a Podpage in June.  When you click on the Podcast Tab for https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com, it will go to https://www.thepharmacistsvoicepodcast.com.  I just need to finish customizing my Podpage before I change the Podcast tab link.   It’s up and running right now (May 25, 2022).  Feel free to visit and look around!

I’m also developing my next online course.  It will be a look “under the hood” of my podcast.   

Anybody need a mic check?  I’m creating a mic check service for my business.  $25 for 15 minutes via Zoom.  $50 if you want the recorded Zoom session shared with you.  Interested? Contact me through my website’s contact page.  

What’s next?

I need to update my LinkedIn profile and resume.  I need to discontinue my business phone line.  Having a business line has become impractical.

What’s in my way?

1. Summer activities 
2. My kids home for the summer
3. Too many opportunities, not enough time.  
4. Sleep.  I love what I do so much that I’d keep working if I didn’t have to sleep. 😆

What’s going on with The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast?

My podcast production schedule is almost 100% full for 2022…and it’s only May!  Thank you for listening! 

What’s coming up?

The pharmacist Dads series kicks off June 3 with Tim Ulbrich, PharmD.  Tony Guerra, PharmD, Mike Koelzer, RPh, and Iqbal Atcha, RPh will also be on the podcast.  

I will continue to publish one pronunciation episode per month.  Coming up in June is Dr. Allana (“Lany”) Alexander. On TikTok, she is the “CEO of Hard Drug Names.”  

I will continue to publish quarterly updates in May, August, November, and February (one episode/season).

In July, I’m publishing a 3-part series featuring Women Pharmacists in the Beauty Space.  The guests will be Dr. Dimple Gandhi, Dr. Leslie Hodge, and Dr. Danielle Perrodin.  After that series, I’m hoping to have my brand photographer (Josh) and make-up artist (Kristina) on the show the last Friday in July to talk about best practice for headshot photos.

In August, I’m publishing a 14-episode Back to School Series featuring pharmacists who teach an online course or coach via an online business.

In my private life

• I dropped off my expired and unwanted RX and OTC meds at a Drug Take-back day April 30.  If it’s been a while since you talked to your patients about this, NOW is a good time to remind them to get rid of their expired and unwanted medications (OTC and RX)!
