Meet Tony PharmD, Podcaster, YouTube Creator, and Author

Carol Bush welcomed Tony Guerra, host of the Pharmacy Leaders Podcast to The Savvy Scribe to talk about being a creator, author, and teaching Pharmacist.

 Carol:                         00:32                 Welcome to the Savvy Scribe podcast. Today I'm doing a solo show today without Janine. The productivity queen is working hard or she's working out or working one of her 10 jobs. I'm very excited to welcome our good friend Tony Pharmd on Twitter, also known as in real life. Tony, welcome to the show and Tony is not only a nurse's best friend. Okay. Oncology nurses, best friend is the pharmacist speaking from my clinical background and that he is also the host of the pharmacy leaders podcast where he features interviews and advice on building a professional brand and purposeful second income, which is why one of the things I really love about him, he talks about profit and money and managing finances, which is the number one important thing that we want to do as entrepreneurs and CEOs of our own business. Tony is also a writer and author of several books and he has a Marvey youtube following as well. So welcome to the show, Tony.

 Tony:                         01:39                   Thanks for having me.

 Carol:                         01:40                   Well, we're excited that you're here. And also we share a love of the Midwest, you know, in the healthcare marketing network. I was talking with one of our new members yesterday who's also in Des Moines, Iowa as a matter of staff. Cool. And that we have a lot of people on the east coast and west coast, but not a ton of midwesterners. So, you're in Iowa and I'm in Kansas.

 Tony:                         02:06                   Well, I'm a Washingtonian. That's where I was born. So I'm from Washington DC. But if you marry a Midwesterner, you end up in the Midwest.

 Carol:                         02:16                   That's exactly right. Well, Tony, it, we'd love to hear in our community. Everyone loves to hear the story of what prompted you as a healthcare professional to begin this journey of creativity, whether you're a writer or a content creator. So I'd love

Podcast Transcript

 Janet:                                 00:02                   Start Your engines and get ready to power up for a Quick Win from The Savvy Scribe team, Carol Bush and Janine Kelbach are here to take your freelance healthcare writing business to the next level with this powerful Quick Wins on The Savvy Scribe podcast.

 Janine:                               00:19                   Freelancers, we're always struggling with why we're doing our jobs. We're doing them because we love it, right, but it's a job and we need to get paid today in this quick when Carol is talking about all about getting paid and how to make it so it's a win-win for both parties. Take it away, Carol.

 Carol:                                 00:39                   Your business can only run smoothly when you're getting paid and cash is flowing in and out. Unfortunately, in the real world of healthcare freelancing and last, we set ourselves up for success. Getting paid can be a real challenge. Wouldn't it be nice to avoid all of this to get the money that we're owed without all of the fuss and hair pulling? Exactly. Hi, this is Carol Bush co-host of The Savvy Scribe podcast, and in today's Quick Win, I'd like to share three simple actions you can take this week to streamline the process of getting paid so your business can grow and you can pay your bills. Let's get started.

 Carol:                                 01:20                   One, contracts are vital. Let's face it guys, if you don't have a contract in place, you don't really have a leg to stand on. When a client ditches you, you can yell at them until you're blue in the face, but if there's nothing legal there, you can't really see compensation when they're late or even if they disappear.

 Carol:                                 01:41                   What's that? Are you a freelancer without a contract? That's okay. You're not alone. A very interesting and actually also tragic fact from a recent freelancers union study, which is called freelancing in America reported that nearly 70 percent of freelancers have struggled to collect payment for work they accomplished, and another staggering fact from th

The Healthcare Marketing Network is proud to add a new podcast to its list of healthcare podcasts. Hosts Carol Bush, Managing Editor of the HMN and Janine Kelbach, Operations Manager of the HMN invite you to tune in to a new podcast celebrating and supporting the life of a freelance healthcare writer. As the host of the Get Social Health Podcast, I was thrilled to have my Healthcare Marketing Network colleagues join me in the podcast universe.

To kick off their first episode I interviewed them to find out why they decided to launch a podcast and what they plan to cover. Give a listen or drop in at the timestamps in the transcript below.

Interview Transcript

 Janet:                                 00:00                   Welcome to The Savvy Scribe, a podcast for freelance healthcare and medical writers and creatives who want to grow their businesses. Your hosts, Carol Bush, and Janine Kalbach will cover a wide range of topics on writing, sales and managing your freelance practice. Podcast episodes will feature interviews, inspiration, laughter, and important information to help healthcare freelance writers. The Savvy Scribe is a production of the Healthcare Marketing Network. Now, let's join the conversation.

 Janet:                                 00:31                   Well, this is exciting. It's the very first episode of The Savvy Scribe podcast and I want to be very clear. I'm not The Savvy Scribes in this situation. It is my partner's Carol and Janine Kalbach. They are my partners in the Healthcare Marketing Network. They are the writers in our organization and I've been bugging them for a really long time about sharing their expertise. They know so much, so I finally talked them into doing a podcast. You are listening to the inaugural episode of The Savvy Scribe podcasts, and I guess I should say welcome to me to your podcast.

 Carol:                                 01:12                   I love that Janet. Oh my gosh, this is Carol. For those of you who don't know me, I'm the managing editor and as Janet said, partner with the Healthcare Marketing Network and I'm beyond excited that we have you in our back pocket all your podcasting skills, tips and tricks. Definitely, you have been coaching for a long time and we finally took your advice.

 Janet:                                 01:35                   Janine, what do you think about starting your very first podcast?

 Janine:                        &
