From safety issues to retaliatory tactics against their own employees, our nation's largest chain pharmacies are steadily dropping in reputation, putting their pharmacists and pharmacy staff in the increasingly precarious position of good people trapped in an awful situation.   Listen in as PUTTcast host Monique Whitney speaks with Anais Webster Mennuti and Kim Kessler from the independent documentary that's blowing the lid off America's pharmacy problems: "Would You Like Shots with That?". It's an ear-opening discussion that brings atrocities out in the open, humanizes what really goes on behind chain pharmacy counters, and makes the case for why you should care - because at the end of the day, we are all patients.   To learn more about the "Would You Like Shots with That?" documentary or to watch the trailer, visit their website at https://wouldyoulikeshotswiththat.com/

I had so much fun recording this episode with my colleague, coach, mentor, and friend Dr. Christina Fontana. We had recorded another episode a while back when she was using her maiden last name, Tarantola. From questioning our beliefs, to being raw and vulnerable, to demonstrating how to move and shake up your energetic blocks with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & tapping - we go really deep into busting some myths and narratives that we tell ourselves on the daily. One key takeaway here is to follow your desire and lead with your heart, even if that means taking the road less traveled! But you don’t need to go at it alone, it’s allowed to be easy! So give yourself permission and get help from coaches like Christina. Dr. Christina Fontana, PharmD, CHC, CHt, AKA The Pharmacist Coach®️, is a rapid transformation coach, hypnotherapist, pharmacist, and 5-time author. Her most recent book “Moving Beyond the Counter” is a collaboration that showcased the stories of 20 pharmacists, including myself, and I am so grateful to Christina for bringing us together in this way and forming this brilliant community that is giving permission for others to shine. We are also having a book signing next week on November 12 in Mars, PA, and I personally can’t wait! Dr. Christina helps pharmacist entrepreneurs release subconscious blocks so you can own your brilliance and scale their profitable healing businesses. She blends hypnotherapy, science-based transformation, and intuitive coaching to help you simplify and scale your heart-centered business with more ease and flow. For the last 10 years, Dr. Christina has been providing uplifting, transformational content through her YouTube videos, books, courses, programs, and retreats to help women reconnect to their inner light to go from burnt out pharmacist to lit up full-time entrepreneurs! I cannot say enough in this brief intro about how grateful I am for my personal and professional relationship that we have developed together over the years with Dr. Christina, so without further ado I’ll let this episode do the talking.

One proven way for pharmacy owners to boost sales, improve profits and generate word of mouth recommendations is by operating an attractive and well merchandized front-end. But finding products that people want at prices that allow you to sell them profitably has been a major problem up until now. I say “has been” because now MatchSquare has combined the resources of an experienced independent pharmacy front end buyer with the technology and buying power of a company necessary to solve this age old problem.   In this episode Bruce Kneeland talks with Johny Kello, CEO of MatchSquare and co-founder of MatchRx and Renee Zawaideh, front-end manager of a six store chain and Lead Merchandizer of MatchSquare. These two experienced managers tell how MatchRx, with 7,000 independent pharmacy customers has built a brand new company that will make, in an organized and curated manner, tens of thousands of front-end items that can be bought in appropriate quantities and attractive prices sold in an independent pharmacy.     Here's hoping you’ll learn something that will help you do more and be better.
