Hey everyone, I’m back this week with a very special guest and fellow podcaster, who is passionate about promoting the pharmacy profession and transforming healthcare. She is the founder of Talk to Your Pharmacist, which has over 250 episodes highlighting successful pharmacy leaders and sharing about current healthcare trends. Her interest in leadership inspired her to author How Pharmacists Lead: Answers from Women Who Are Leading, Succeeding, and Impacting Pharmacy which is available on Amazon to encourage young female leaders and those who want to grow in their careers. I’m so excited to introduce Dr. Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA, a clinically and business-trained pharmacist having practiced for over a decade in a variety of healthcare settings. She has experience in healthcare strategy, business development, formulary development and management, consulting, and establishing successful medication access programs. In her current role, she serves as Chief Pharmacy Officer at Dispensary of Hope, a national non-profit medication distributor hosted by Ascension where she oversees the formulary, leads research initiatives, and manages two networks of pharmacist strategic advisors. Dr. Blackburn was selected to serve on the American Pharmacists Association's (APhA) - APPM Executive Committee for 2021-2023 and invited to serve on the Foundation's Women in Pharmacy Committee. Additionally, she has served as Co-Chair for the Advocacy Committee for APhA's Care of the Underserved Special Interest Group and as a member on the Membership Engagement and Legislative and Policy committees for the Tennessee Pharmacist Association. She precepts student pharmacists from several colleges and serves on the Belmont University College of Pharmacy Dean's External Advisory Committee. Hillary is a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy and completed a PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. In 2012, Hillary returned to her Tennessee roots and met her wonderful husband, Chad, in Nashville where she enjoys staying involved in her community through volunteering, living an active lifestyle, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and their two children.

Overcoming Challenges and Celebrating Victories | Pharmacist Diaries
Balancing a full-time career, managing parenting duties, and running this podcast has been a rollercoaster ride of trials and triumphs. I've been lucky to have the unwavering support of my husband, Sunjay Vyas, and it's this love that has helped me juggle it all, a story I share in this episode with my guest, Yasir Sacranie, CEO of MicroPharm. We travel down our individual entrepreneurial journeys, exchanging tales of hurdles we've had to overcome, and the victories that have made it worthwhile. Alongside, we touch upon the significance of scheduling and good nutrition in maintaining high energy levels and overall productivity.
The transition to entrepreneurship isn't an overnight process. It takes careful planning, and an unerring focus on time management. In our conversation, Yasir and I delve into this very aspect.
Listen in as we discuss the pivotal role of auditing your time, focusing on the small tasks, and investing in specialists to aid in areas outside your expertise. Hear how our strategy of time blocks helped us identify time wastage and replace it with more productive activities. We stress on the importance of pacing yourself and taking things slow and highlighting the necessity of reinvesting the money you make to help your business grow.
Creating content driven by passion and community sentiment is the cherry on top of the entrepreneurial journey. I talk about how the podcast reached 10,000 downloads across 100+ countries in its first year, a milestone that has fuelled my drive to keep creating. The joy of sharing knowledge and the satisfaction derived from inspiring, motivating, and educating listeners have been a significant motivator.
Yasir and I also share our insight on overcoming challenges, embracing failure and the importance of taking initiative, even when the path seems daunting. As they say, every failure is a stepping stone to success. Tune in for an episode filled with entrepreneurial insights, motivational stories, and experiences that teach, engage and inspire.
