About this episode
A few years back, I found myself grappling with an unforeseen identity shift. After three years of passionately producing the Pharmacist Diaries Podcast, what began as a simple podcast had morphed into a promising brand, a realisation that sent me spiraling into an entrepreneurial mindset. This pivotal transition wasn't easy, but it was necessary to fully embrace my potential as a business owner. I was no longer just a pharmacist with a podcast, but an entrepreneur with a brand that could impact lives beyond content creation. Join me in this riveting episode as Yasir Sacranie, CEO of Micropharm, and I candidly delve into our personal journeys of transforming from content creators to business owners. We unravel the intricate process of starting small, growing steadily, and the crucial role of providing value through products and services. We share insights into the practical aspects of podcasting, discussing the shift from audio to video and the crucial decisions we had to make. And as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." We touch on the challenges of juggling multiple roles, contemplate reducing work hours to focus more on our passion projects, and stress the importance of believing in the brand you're building. This is more than just a conversation; it’s a revelation of our entrepreneurial journey. Tune in, and let's explore this together!
