We're halfway through the non-traditional pharmacy career series, having featured Adam Quicquaro (Clinical Development), Lauren Curtis, Steve Aluoch, Nikita Patel, and Lauren Castle. Each conversation has revealed paths most pharmacists never knew existed.But here's what I've realised - I've been asking all the questions without sharing my own journey from traditional hospital pharmacist to podcaster, content creator, and business owner. Instead of me interviewing someone else, YOU get to interview me. Live on YouTube.What you might want to know:- How I went from paediatric hospital pharmacist to full-time content creator- The financial reality of building a business while working PRN- Mistakes I made in the transition (there were many)- How I handle the uncertainty of non-traditional income- What my typical week looks like now vs. when I was commuting 3 hours daily to London- The mindset shifts required to leave "secure" employment- How I built an audience from zero- The role fear played in my decision-makingOr ask me anything else.This isn't scripted. No prepared talking points. Just honest conversation about what it's actually like to create your own non-traditional path as a pharmacist.
