039 International Pharmacist: Dr Alex Barker

<p>On today's episode I am delighted to introduce Alex Barker to the podcast. Alex is the author of a recently published <a href="https://amzn.to/2W9mBvE">book</a>, Indispensable: The Prescription for a Fulfilling Pharmacy Career and the founder of <a href="https://www.thehappypharmd.com/">The Happy PharmD</a>.</p> <p>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...</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The episode is definitely worth a listen!</p> <p>Social media and useful links:</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehappypharmd/">Instagram</a>: @thehappypharmd</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/itsalexbarker?lang=en">Twitter</a>: @itsalexbarker</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-barker-pharmd/">LinkedIn</a>: Alex Barker, PharmD</p> <p>The Happy PharmD <a href="https://www.thehappypharmd.com/">website</a></p> <p>The Happy PharmD <a href="https://www.thehappypharmd.com/blog/">blog</a> (lots of interesting content here!!)</p> <p>A <a href="https://youtu.be/HKzDD2GdejQ">YouTube</a> video sharing Alex's journey</p> <p>Alex is the author of a recently published book - <a href="https://amzn.to/2W9mBvE"><u>Indispensable: The Prescription for a Fulfilling Pharmacy Career</u></a></p> <p>Follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pharmacistdiariesuk/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebo
