Tweetables:

“[Passion] begins to help you realize that you have more power over the way that you practice than maybe what you even realize.” [00:16:39]

“If pharmacists and healthcare professionals, in general, can see themselves as healers, then the question can be, ‘Are patients getting better or worse in this intervention?’” [00:16:54]

“The last thing that I want pharmacists to do is to go out and create a business around something that they are not passionate about. It’s like just creating another job for yourself that you don’t enjoy.” [00:12:27]
