039 Alex Barker

On today's episode I am delighted to introduce Alex Barker to the podcast. Alex is the author of a recently published book, Indispensable: The Prescription for a Fulfilling Pharmacy Career and the founder of The Happy PharmD.

Alex created The Happy PharmD business as he is passionate about helping pharmacists create inspiring lives and careers; specifically by turning passions and strengths into businesses or new careers! You'll identify from the podcast that Alex hasn't always been a happy pharmacist. He felt like he had joined the wrong profession that did not satisfy his creative desires. He found himself miserable and desparately wanting change. He experienced a prolonged journey of figuring out who he was and accepting that. He understood it was necessary to lean into it rather than trying to pretend to be something he wasn't...

Since creating the Happy PharmD Platform, he has coached over 700 pharmacists to change their career pathways and start businesses that create more freedom and income.

The episode is definitely worth a listen!
