Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: You are listening to the global network of podcasters dedicated
- 0:09Speaker 1: to the pharmacy profession. Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
- 0:30Speaker 2: What do you call a roomful of pharmacy badasses? The
- 0:35Speaker 2: Profits Summit Live twenty twenty six posted in Dallas, Texas
- 0:39Speaker 2: on March twenty.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Eighth through the twenty nine.
- 0:41Speaker 2: This annual conference is where the action takers met the action.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Pharmacy owners from across the US have come together to
- 0:47Speaker 2: learn ways to improve their pharmacy's profit and bring better
- 0:50Speaker 2: value to their patients. The Pharmacy Podcast Network brings you
- 0:53Speaker 2: this exclusive man on the street coverage of the show
- 0:56Speaker 2: with interviews hosted by Todd Yuriy talking to the attendees,
- 0:59Speaker 2: speaker and vendors. Welcome to the Profit Summit Live post show.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Spross Miller from TGM Labs, and they're listening to the
- 1:06Speaker 4: Pharmacy Podcast Network.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Ross Ross I have been waiting for this interview for
- 1:12Speaker 5: quite some time. Have been connected with you on LinkedIn.
- 1:16Speaker 5: You're an inside outsider because you came from the outside
- 1:20Speaker 5: of the pharmacy industry, somebody who understood complex software systems
- 1:26Speaker 5: called Monday and CRM system and the big enterprise groups
- 1:31Speaker 5: and you really had expertise, and now you're part of
- 1:34Speaker 5: the pharmacy collective and the pharmacy profession, bringing AI and
- 1:39Speaker 5: demystifying AI for the pharmacy profession. Very proud of what
- 1:43Speaker 5: TJM Labs is doing out there, just set the stage
- 1:47Speaker 5: for our listeners who might not know TGM Labs.
- 1:50Speaker 6: What do you guys do?
- 1:51Speaker 7: Thank you so much for having me, Todd.
- 1:53Speaker 4: So, TGM Labs is a company that's been around for
- 1:56Speaker 4: about two and a half years, and first and foremost,
- 1:58Speaker 4: we automate manual, mundane TDS tasks to the pharmacies that
- 2:04Speaker 4: usually starts with data entry. A big pain point as
- 2:07Speaker 4: pharmacies are growing, scaling, continuing to operate in a financially
- 2:12Speaker 4: sustainable way, how do we offload these tasks away from
- 2:17Speaker 4: our people? And really, essentially, Todd, have our people that
- 2:21Speaker 4: are doing well, we want to basically give them more
- 2:25Speaker 4: value added skills to do in the pharmacy.
- 2:28Speaker 5: So I had Jonathan Adley on the show several times
- 2:32Speaker 5: on This Week in Pharmacy. We're actually going to be
- 2:35Speaker 5: doing a special episode on This Week in Pharmacy coming up.
- 2:38Speaker 5: But something that he said several times that I think
- 2:41Speaker 5: is really interesting is the mystery of artificial intelligence really
- 2:49Speaker 5: not knowing necessarily where to get started. And something that
- 2:53Speaker 5: TJM Labs has done from the get go is building
- 2:57Speaker 5: these prompts and these abilities to happened to your data,
- 3:01Speaker 5: but doing it from a pharmacist's perspective. So talk to
- 3:05Speaker 5: us about that differentiator, because I could go to the
- 3:07Speaker 5: internet right now and probably find ten different organizations that
- 3:11Speaker 5: say that they're building out AI for pharmacy.
- 3:16Speaker 6: But it's the proof and the pudding.
- 3:18Speaker 4: It's a really interesting point. I think that's what makes
- 3:21Speaker 4: this work so well. Our company was founded, as you mentioned,
- 3:25Speaker 4: by a pharmacist, an engineer.
- 3:26Speaker 6: A nerdy pharmacist.
- 3:28Speaker 4: He's a great guy, super smart. But our company today
- 3:33Speaker 4: we have about seventy five people last check. It was
- 3:35Speaker 4: about eighteen people when I started over the summer, So
- 3:37Speaker 4: it's amazing the sort of growth trajector we've been on.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Almost our whole company is either pharmacist or engineers, right,
- 3:44Speaker 4: So when we build these automations, it's really us coming
- 3:47Speaker 4: from a place of understanding where those pain points are,
- 3:50Speaker 4: where those gaps are, because, like you said, the technology
- 3:53Speaker 4: is great, but without the right support system. The folks
- 3:56Speaker 4: who understand this is what looks good, looks like who
- 3:59Speaker 4: have the domain expertise. The technology is my opinion, useless.
- 4:03Speaker 7: It's going to fall fall flat. Right.
- 4:05Speaker 4: So that's really where we come into this with a
- 4:08Speaker 4: really unique POV on what's happening in pharmacy and how
- 4:11Speaker 4: we can help.
- 4:12Speaker 5: So, Russ, I have a curve ball for you something
- 4:14Speaker 5: that I didn't talk to you guys about before. That's
- 4:17Speaker 5: the subject of the pharmacy technician.
- 4:20Speaker 6: And here's the water cooler conversations that are happening. All right.
- 4:26Speaker 5: AI's in place, and now I'm going to be able
- 4:29Speaker 5: to get rid of my pharmacy technician because of this,
- 4:31Speaker 5: this and this, and that.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Couldn't be farther from the truth.
- 4:36Speaker 5: I think of the pharmacy technician becoming empowered by AIS
- 4:41Speaker 5: systems that you're developing, and then now instead of them
- 4:45Speaker 5: doing something so mundane and so like by the way,
- 4:48Speaker 5: mundane tasks because of a human doing it leads to errors.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Versus a technology doing it, there's zero errors because it's
- 4:57Speaker 5: just following what it's supposed to be doing. And now
- 4:59Speaker 5: my tech becomes a profit center instead of someone that's
- 5:03Speaker 5: doing Monday tasks. So let's talk about the profit center
- 5:07Speaker 5: and how you take the ingredients.
- 5:09Speaker 6: We're going to bake some cookies. They're called profit cookies.
- 5:12Speaker 5: So we got the pharmacy tech, we got our pharmacy
- 5:15Speaker 5: management system, we got data, and now we have TGAM labs.
- 5:19Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a great point.
- 5:20Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest misconception is we're here to
- 5:24Speaker 4: cut job.
- 5:25Speaker 7: We're not.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Ideally, we're freeing people up to do those better, sort
- 5:30Speaker 4: of more profitable tasks in your words, and that can
- 5:34Speaker 4: be Hey, we're opening up a wellness clinic, we have
- 5:37Speaker 4: patient care set up in the pharmacy we want to
- 5:41Speaker 4: focus on for our compounding.
- 5:43Speaker 6: Pharmacies we work with, let's get them.
- 5:45Speaker 7: In the compounding lab. That's a very valuable thing.
- 5:48Speaker 4: We don't need ten people sitting behind computers typing away
- 5:52Speaker 4: all day. It's truly my numbing tasks that are being done.
- 5:57Speaker 4: And at this point we are firm believers that if
- 6:00Speaker 4: there is something there that is worth automating, we're going
- 6:02Speaker 4: to do that.
- 6:03Speaker 5: Right.
- 6:03Speaker 4: The bot works twenty four to seven, doesn't take breaks,
- 6:05Speaker 4: doesn't call out sick. Right, all these sort of silly
- 6:07Speaker 4: value added things that just happen inherently by implementing the solution.
- 6:12Speaker 4: But better yet, let's put our people in places to
- 6:16Speaker 4: be valuable and for them to enjoy their jobs and
- 6:19Speaker 4: hopefully stick around and maybe not burn out the other
- 6:22Speaker 4: that's the other thing we see a lot people say,
- 6:25Speaker 4: my folks aren't staying, they're leaving. I'm paying pharmacists to
- 6:29Speaker 4: do this very tedious stuff that we don't need people
- 6:32Speaker 4: doing anymore. It's a great point.
- 6:34Speaker 5: To So, are there examples a story that you can
- 6:37Speaker 5: share of some program that has been implemented based on
- 6:41Speaker 5: TGAM leaves extracting the richness of the data that's there,
- 6:45Speaker 5: Because you know what, data is great, but it's not
- 6:48Speaker 5: worth anything if you can't act on it. So give
- 6:51Speaker 5: us an example of what you guys have done in
- 6:53Speaker 5: the independent community pharmacies.
- 6:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 6:56Speaker 4: So I think there's a couple of really interesting examples
- 6:59Speaker 4: where we've had some independent community pharmacies come to us
- 7:02Speaker 4: and they've said, hey, we have, you know, a situation
- 7:06Speaker 4: where we're trying to do central fills. We're looking at
- 7:11Speaker 4: doing some acquisitions. Right, the bots become sort of a
- 7:14Speaker 4: natural mechanism, that natural arm to sort of help with
- 7:17Speaker 4: that journey instead of you know, going and acquiring a
- 7:22Speaker 4: store and finding a way to fill seats in that location.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Let's have the bots sort of operate centrally and then
- 7:30Speaker 4: be able to touch those stores from one location. That
- 7:34Speaker 4: allows there to be sort of immediate impact productivity gains
- 7:38Speaker 4: while not sort of thinking through how do we actually
- 7:41Speaker 4: have to go find people to do these jobs? Right,
- 7:44Speaker 4: So it's taking what's there, having the bot work in
- 7:47Speaker 4: an efficient.
- 7:48Speaker 7: Manner, and then being able to pick up.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Additional lines of business, additional opportunities.
- 7:54Speaker 7: Naturally, it makes sense.
- 7:55Speaker 5: So the power of independent community pharmacy is the nimbleness
- 8:01Speaker 5: and the personalization, the reflection of their own community that
- 8:05Speaker 5: they're part of. The weakness of independent community pharmacy is
- 8:10Speaker 5: the exact same thing. It's like it's like a strength
- 8:13Speaker 5: weakness situation where you might not sure how to implement
- 8:19Speaker 5: a program or you don't know how to repeat something
- 8:21Speaker 5: over and over again. I think that's where TGM Labs
- 8:25Speaker 5: comes in because of the coupling of your data with execution,
- 8:31Speaker 5: with process, work with workflow to uncover opportunities so that
- 8:38Speaker 5: the tech and the pharmacist and the management team can
- 8:41Speaker 5: now step back three months after you've implemented TGM labs
- 8:45Speaker 5: and say where's my next profit opportunity.
- 8:48Speaker 4: That's exactly how this works, and I think that's why
- 8:50Speaker 4: this works so well. We have well over two hundred
- 8:54Speaker 4: different pharmacy groups now utilizing the system. I think we're
- 8:56Speaker 4: processing three hundred thousand descriptions a day and that's across
- 8:59Speaker 4: twenty three pharmacy management systems. So we have a lot
- 9:02Speaker 4: of really good data and that is naturally what ends
- 9:06Speaker 4: up happening is we say, great, we started here, what's
- 9:09Speaker 4: the path we actually give our customers baked in support
- 9:14Speaker 4: to basically expand upon what we've built. It becomes essentially
- 9:19Speaker 4: a digital worker time and what that means is we
- 9:22Speaker 4: have this AI, this solution that becomes a natural again
- 9:27Speaker 4: partner within the organization. It allows them to take on
- 9:30Speaker 4: additional growth opportunities. We have bots that are doing today
- 9:34Speaker 4: things like shipping, billing. People are starting to ask about
- 9:38Speaker 4: inventory management, ordering, things that are just problematic.
- 9:41Speaker 7: If it's repeatable, if it's something that's on the screen.
- 9:45Speaker 4: If it's at a high school level or below, from
- 9:47Speaker 4: a reasoning standpoint, it's probably a.
- 9:49Speaker 7: Good use case for the bots.
- 9:50Speaker 4: So we're always thinking about what's next, and our customers
- 9:53Speaker 4: generally are giving us really good insight into what they'd
- 9:56Speaker 4: like to automate the next.
- 9:57Speaker 5: All right, I'm listening to the show. I want to
- 10:01Speaker 5: engage where it's the best place to reach out and
- 10:03Speaker 5: get ahold of you guys.
- 10:04Speaker 4: So we're probably talking about forty or fifty pharmacy groups
- 10:07Speaker 4: every week right now. Naturally they end up sort of
- 10:10Speaker 4: finding our website tgmlabs dot com and you're able to
- 10:13Speaker 4: book a demo with actually our farm d Clark Hawkins,
- 10:17Speaker 4: a new salesperson here, came from Revelation Compounding and graduated
- 10:21Speaker 4: from Purdue Pharmacy School. So the first point entry would
- 10:24Speaker 4: be book a meeting with Clark. He's there to answer
- 10:28Speaker 4: questions and give you a unique perspective from our sales
- 10:30Speaker 4: organization as a pharmacist. And then we actually now have specialists,
- 10:35Speaker 4: if you will, from each segment of pharmacy. So we
- 10:38Speaker 4: have a retail person, a compounding person, specialty pharmacy.
- 10:41Speaker 7: As well as LTC. And we're just.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Kind of figuring this thing out as we go and
- 10:48Speaker 4: really honing in on these different market segments within pharmacy
- 10:51Speaker 4: that frankly operate completely differently, yeah.
- 10:54Speaker 5: Very differently, and that expertise is so important to understand
- 11:00Speaker 5: and how to apply and applications. Everything all right, tjmlabs
- 11:05Speaker 5: dot com. Tell them you heard it on the Pharmacy
- 11:08Speaker 5: Podcast Network for us. Thanks so much for this interview.
- 11:11Speaker 7: I listened, Pat.
- 11:12Speaker 4: This has been a pleasure a long time coming, and
- 11:14Speaker 4: look forward to hopefully speaking with you again soon.
- 11:15Speaker 6: Thank you of course.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Bradley Davey here at the Pharmacy Profits Summit twenty twenty six.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Welcome to the show.
- 11:26Speaker 8: Thank you, sir, pleasure to be here. Glad were good
- 11:29Speaker 8: to connect.
- 11:30Speaker 6: It is good to connect.
- 11:31Speaker 5: So Inbody let's talk to our listeners listening into the
- 11:35Speaker 5: post show. How does Inbody position our independent community pharmacies
- 11:40Speaker 5: to be more profitable?
- 11:43Speaker 8: And Buddy's not a device as most people would think
- 11:46Speaker 8: about it. It's a language that you learn with between
- 11:51Speaker 8: you and a patient, and it's an experience that you're
- 11:55Speaker 8: able to provide to a patient where we get high
- 11:59Speaker 8: quality data for what's inside of them, how much muscle fat,
- 12:02Speaker 8: water edema, inflammation, visceral fat in and around the organ
- 12:07Speaker 8: sticking to the heart. These are all metabolic health data points.
- 12:11Speaker 8: We get grip strength, blood pressure. All of this integrates
- 12:14Speaker 8: into a software and app prints out on a result sheet,
- 12:17Speaker 8: and it gives you a language to communicate with your patient,
- 12:20Speaker 8: whether they're on a medication or As a pharmacist, they
- 12:25Speaker 8: have a fiduciary responsibility to manage therapies. The patients come
- 12:30Speaker 8: in and they are on medications that might cause them
- 12:34Speaker 8: to lose muscle mass or shift their metabolism, and this
- 12:38Speaker 8: is a lens that we can see that through. So
- 12:40Speaker 8: a GLP one, for instance, is a very popular thing
- 12:43Speaker 8: people think about these days.
- 12:45Speaker 6: Well, it acts like.
- 12:46Speaker 8: An insulin in the bloodstream, so it binds to sugar
- 12:49Speaker 8: and water binds with sugar also, and that's what usually
- 12:52Speaker 8: brings it into the cells. But if we're not getting
- 12:54Speaker 8: that water into the cells, then we're losing muscle mass.
- 12:58Speaker 8: A lot of people call it muscle waste, but what's
- 13:00Speaker 8: actually happening is we're changing the metabolic process, so the
- 13:03Speaker 8: water's not getting back in the cells. So think about
- 13:06Speaker 8: your cells like a grape or raisin. Well, it might
- 13:09Speaker 8: become more like a raisin if we're not getting enough.
- 13:12Speaker 6: Food or water.
- 13:13Speaker 8: And that's where the pharmacist comes in. There's some of
- 13:16Speaker 8: the brightest people in the.
- 13:19Speaker 5: World underutilized the brightest and not most underutilized.
- 13:23Speaker 3: You know it.
- 13:23Speaker 5: You know it.
- 13:24Speaker 6: You've probably said it on your podcast before.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:26Speaker 5: Right, so all right, so these devices I've seen you
- 13:30Speaker 5: when we were here at the show. I got to
- 13:31Speaker 5: see the scale, I got to see the gripper thing
- 13:34Speaker 5: that you squeeze and things like that. Talk to us
- 13:37Speaker 5: about the aesthetics. Where do you suggest the pharmacy set
- 13:40Speaker 5: these devices up in order to make it very fluid
- 13:44Speaker 5: into how to get the patient involved in being tested.
- 13:48Speaker 8: You can move it around and put it anywhere you want.
- 13:50Speaker 8: You can try different locations, and obviously if it's out,
- 13:53Speaker 8: somebody's going to see it and they're gonna be like,
- 13:54Speaker 8: that's cool.
- 13:55Speaker 7: What is it?
- 13:56Speaker 8: Some people some kids are like, ah, it looks like
- 13:58Speaker 8: a space ship.
- 13:59Speaker 5: Right.
- 13:59Speaker 8: But I think the most important element of this is
- 14:03Speaker 8: and thinking about there's prescription revenue and there's non prescription revenue,
- 14:10Speaker 8: and the wellness bucket of services and products that we
- 14:13Speaker 8: can offer are the opportunity I think that's at hand
- 14:17Speaker 8: here for us to think about how do we convert
- 14:21Speaker 8: our patients that come in for a prescription into a
- 14:24Speaker 8: wellness service or a product. And this is a process
- 14:29Speaker 8: where if somebody sees that, or you invite them into
- 14:32Speaker 8: a consultation and appointment, then what we can do is
- 14:37Speaker 8: we can then convert that person into a product or
- 14:40Speaker 8: a service and isolate that into an experience for somebody
- 14:47Speaker 8: that adds value to their life. And I heard about
- 14:49Speaker 8: a research study that was done that said it was
- 14:53Speaker 8: done by Harvard, and they showed that if somebody teaches
- 14:57Speaker 8: somebody something, they're more like to make a buying decision.
- 15:02Speaker 8: So people that are coming in, if we can teach
- 15:04Speaker 8: them things about their health, then we might sell them
- 15:06Speaker 8: more supplements.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I know.
- 15:09Speaker 6: My follow up question to this, Yeah, there's a lot.
- 15:11Speaker 8: Of nutrient deficiencies that happened that shift metabolism that might
- 15:15Speaker 8: cause somebody to increase fat or lose muscle. So that's
- 15:19Speaker 8: a great opportunity that I know pharmacists that have health
- 15:22Speaker 8: coaching programs that are.
- 15:23Speaker 6: Higher ticket values where they coach.
- 15:26Speaker 8: Somebody for two three months and offer support and service.
- 15:30Speaker 8: I know a pharmacist that just got over one hundred
- 15:33Speaker 8: and fifty thousand dollars cash into his business because he
- 15:36Speaker 8: took his health coaching program out to a school district
- 15:39Speaker 8: that gave him one thousand dollars per head for one
- 15:42Speaker 8: hundred and fifty employees.
- 15:43Speaker 6: It's incredible.
- 15:45Speaker 8: So the money is there, and.
- 15:47Speaker 5: It's how you package it, and it's how you're putting
- 15:50Speaker 5: products involved.
- 15:51Speaker 8: That's your business elements, and it's how you think about
- 15:53Speaker 8: your business model. Are you thinking about your non prescription revenue?
- 15:57Speaker 8: And when you open up that door of non prescription revenue,
- 16:00Speaker 8: you can look at it through the lens of the
- 16:02Speaker 8: embody and say which products and services line up with this.
- 16:04Speaker 8: But it really comes down to the clinical confidence to
- 16:08Speaker 8: deliver this care, and pharmacists their risk tolerance is low
- 16:12Speaker 8: or their willingness to take a risk to try something new.
- 16:16Speaker 8: Oftentimes they might conceptually get it, but you got if
- 16:19Speaker 8: you're going to start to clinically see a patient and
- 16:22Speaker 8: we're going to start to make recommendations, that's something that
- 16:24Speaker 8: you've got to fail. Sometimes you just got to try it.
- 16:27Speaker 8: And in the beginning, you don't have to spend ten
- 16:29Speaker 8: twenty thousand dollars on our equipment to do this.
- 16:31Speaker 5: Part of it.
- 16:32Speaker 8: You just got to figure out what your patients need
- 16:35Speaker 8: and you can open up that doorway to a conversation
- 16:39Speaker 8: and then along the way you can figure it out.
- 16:41Speaker 5: I'm sure there's a portfolio of devices that you have,
- 16:44Speaker 5: but what's the starter one that you're like, Okay, here's
- 16:47Speaker 5: what we recommend to get going. So that the community
- 16:50Speaker 5: that comes in and they see this new apparatus, it
- 16:54Speaker 5: stems curiosity and now you kind of build this into
- 16:58Speaker 5: a bigger program.
- 17:00Speaker 8: The inbody three eighty's the baseline model first one that
- 17:03Speaker 8: shows visceral fat, inflammation, EDMA, muscle, you know all that stuff.
- 17:08Speaker 8: And every time you do the test, you get a
- 17:09Speaker 8: new result sheet and you see a trending graph on there,
- 17:13Speaker 8: so you can see that change. And if you want
- 17:16Speaker 8: to get that, I'll give you the Grip Strength Dynamometer free.
- 17:18Speaker 8: That's a great fun tool to be able to engage
- 17:22Speaker 8: somebody in a fun way about strength and fitness and
- 17:25Speaker 8: wellness and help you know, gauge your population to see
- 17:30Speaker 8: you know where you can go with your business. But
- 17:32Speaker 8: if you're not interested in non prescription revenue and you
- 17:36Speaker 8: want to you keep your business simple and it's just
- 17:38Speaker 8: about insurance prescription, we're not for you. But if you
- 17:41Speaker 8: want to open up that opportunity, then you should have
- 17:44Speaker 8: an inbody. I think the future of pharmacy will have them,
- 17:47Speaker 8: and there's a lot of people. There's a lot of
- 17:49Speaker 8: momentum moving that way and people are figuring it out
- 17:51Speaker 8: and this is such a great environment with people that
- 17:53Speaker 8: are open to that opportunity.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Yeah, the word wellness few used with pharmacy. Is a
- 18:02Speaker 5: cash cow to be opened up. But you have to
- 18:05Speaker 5: be creative, You have to have a program ready, you
- 18:08Speaker 5: have to have you know, the marketing in the in
- 18:11Speaker 5: the education out to the markets of what's happening, and
- 18:15Speaker 5: you turn and you do it over and over and
- 18:18Speaker 5: over again, and now instead of being a pharmacy, you're
- 18:21Speaker 5: a wellness center and this is definitely part of that.

- 18:57Speaker 2: At the twenty twenty six Pharmacy prop Summit, TJM Labs
- 19:01Speaker 2: showed pharmacy leaders how to scale operations without scaling headcount.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Built for pharmacy by pharmacists. TJM Labs uses AI powered
- 19:09Speaker 2: automation to handle time consuming workflows like prescription intake, data entry,
- 19:13Speaker 2: fax processing, refill management, and more. What makes TJM labs
- 19:18Speaker 2: different is how quickly it works. There's no need for
- 19:20Speaker 2: APIs or system replacement. The platform operates directly within existing
- 19:25Speaker 2: pharmacy systems, allowing teams to go live in under four
- 19:28Speaker 2: weeks with no IT lift required. Today, TJM Labs supports
- 19:33Speaker 2: over two hundred pharmacy groups and helps automate more than
- 19:36Speaker 2: three hundred thousand prescriptions every day. Pharmacy partners typically see
- 19:40Speaker 2: a four hundred to five hundred percent return on investment
- 19:43Speaker 2: with significant increases in throughput and reduced manual workload. The
- 19:47Speaker 2: result is more capacity, fewer bottlenecks, and more time focused
- 19:51Speaker 2: on patient care. For pharmacies looking to grow without adding headcount,
- 19:55Speaker 2: TJM Labs is helping teams automate smarter and scale with confidence.
- 20:10Speaker 5: What does zinc and bad breath have in common? I'm
- 20:15Speaker 5: here with Jonathan Tanner and you were the first pop
- 20:23Speaker 5: rocks type of applications slash zinc that I ever ever

- 20:33Speaker 5: your mission is, and the product.
- 20:35Speaker 9: Our mission is to help consumers actually have a functional
- 20:42Speaker 9: product for breath because tic TACs, altoids all that, that's
- 20:46Speaker 9: just perfumed candy. This is actually fun and functional.
- 20:50Speaker 5: So talk to us right out of the gate, just
- 20:53Speaker 5: before we forget because I get too excited in the interview.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Where can people.
- 20:57Speaker 5: Learn about the product in per care sharing and engaging
- 21:01Speaker 5: with you guys.
- 21:02Speaker 9: So they go to breathrocks dot com. That's the place
- 21:04Speaker 9: to be able to buy it and to be able
- 21:06Speaker 9: to learn about it. But our social media, every single
- 21:09Speaker 9: social media LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, you name it, we're there
- 21:13Speaker 9: a couple of times a week. We're posting and sharing
- 21:16Speaker 9: people's reactions to the product and letting them know what
- 21:18Speaker 9: Breathrocks is all about.
- 21:20Speaker 6: I love it.
- 21:20Speaker 5: I love your social media traffic. It's increased lately. I've
- 21:23Speaker 5: been watching you on TikTok get a ton of young people,
- 21:27Speaker 5: students starting to post content.
- 21:30Speaker 6: Guys have done a great job.
- 21:32Speaker 5: I'm a father of four daughters, so when I saw
- 21:36Speaker 5: this young professional lady in your booth and I looked
- 21:40Speaker 5: at her name tag and what do you know, it's Tanner,
- 21:43Speaker 5: just like you introduce me, to introduce yourself, your daughter.
- 21:48Speaker 5: You're here at your first conference.
- 21:51Speaker 3: This is my This is my second oldest daughter, a Zelle.
- 21:54Speaker 9: She's fifteen, and she came to be here at the
- 21:57Speaker 9: booth here at the Phouniracy Profits Summit and help all
- 22:00Speaker 9: these pharmacies learn about this great product.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Say hello, hey guys.
- 22:05Speaker 5: All right, so what's it like to be at a
- 22:07Speaker 5: national conference with your dad and helping to market this product.
- 22:12Speaker 6: It's really fun.
- 22:13Speaker 4: I feel like it just like helps me grow better
- 22:15Speaker 4: and like learn way more about breath rocks.
- 22:17Speaker 5: Well, I think it also helps you to apply how
- 22:20Speaker 5: a product can become something that you're marketing. And you know,
- 22:25Speaker 5: you and I were talking a little bit. You said
- 22:27Speaker 5: that you wanted to go into physical therapy. I could
- 22:30Speaker 5: easily see how you'd open up your own physical therapy
- 22:33Speaker 5: business and on one of the counters you could be
- 22:35Speaker 5: having breath rocks there to really help help people understand
- 22:39Speaker 5: the how zinc can impact bad breath.
- 22:42Speaker 7: Yes, I thought that'd be such a great idea.
- 22:44Speaker 9: Well, and I think Todd, that's we launched two and
- 22:47Speaker 9: a half years ago at NCPA, and we launched through
- 22:50Speaker 9: pharmacies because I from the very beginning, we saw this product.
- 22:53Speaker 3: This isn't just a tool.
- 22:55Speaker 9: That you're selling a product for, you know, buying for
- 22:57Speaker 9: X and selling for why. This is actually a tool
- 23:00Speaker 9: that pharmacies are using. And what's great for a Zella
- 23:02Speaker 9: to be able to see here when these pharmacies come
- 23:04Speaker 9: up and they try this and they're going, oh my gosh,
- 23:06Speaker 9: this is fantastic I need to put in my store,
- 23:09Speaker 9: or this is a wonderful problem. We've been selling great
- 23:12Speaker 9: with it. Oh you got a new flavor, got to
- 23:13Speaker 9: try it.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Whatever.
- 23:14Speaker 9: What I tell them is like, look, yeah, you're buying
- 23:17Speaker 9: it for a dollar forty nine, you're selling it for
- 23:18Speaker 9: twenty nine to nine. But if you sell ten of
- 23:20Speaker 9: these things a day, fifteen bucks isn't going to move
- 23:23Speaker 9: the needle. What's going to move the needle is when
- 23:25Speaker 9: you got that kid who comes in, like my nine
- 23:27Speaker 9: year old son Falcon, who's scared about getting that flu shot.
- 23:30Speaker 9: Give him the blue raspberry breath rocks. He's focused on
- 23:33Speaker 9: the part in his mouth, he's distracted. Then you jab him,
- 23:36Speaker 9: give the rest of the bottle, and now you've got
- 23:38Speaker 9: your vaccination program where people are going, my kids want
- 23:41Speaker 9: to come in, they want another flu shot, that type.
- 23:43Speaker 6: Of bossesome idea.
- 23:44Speaker 9: So that's the whole thing is saying, I'm doing doctor definely.
- 23:47Speaker 9: We had a pharmacist come up. He bought four cases
- 23:49Speaker 9: because he's doing a periodontal program. He's gonna have three
- 23:54Speaker 9: hundred dentists there, and he's bringing breath rocks saying, hey, look, this.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Is a great progu this is a great of your.
- 24:00Speaker 9: Patients, and it's a great doctor detailing tool for him.
- 24:04Speaker 9: So it's seen these pharmacies uses as a tool. Another
- 24:08Speaker 9: pharmacist here in Texas says, we have three locations. We
- 24:11Speaker 9: put breathrocks at the drive through. So if they've got
- 24:13Speaker 9: a charge where they're just coming to buy a coke
- 24:15Speaker 9: or whatever, it's not going to cross the five dollar barrier.
- 24:17Speaker 9: They're saying, hey, look, great breathrocks product two nine to
- 24:20Speaker 9: nine gets over the five dollars threshold, and now all
- 24:23Speaker 9: of a sudden they're coming back and reordering. So it's again,
- 24:26Speaker 9: pharmacies are problems. Pharmacists are problem solvers. Yeah, so this
- 24:29Speaker 9: is just a tool to help them in their solving
- 24:32Speaker 9: of problems.
- 24:33Speaker 6: I love it. What's your favorite flavor as all?
- 24:36Speaker 7: My favorite flavor is a chili lime mango, the.
- 24:40Speaker 5: Chili lit that's new flavor. Yeah, I haven't even heard
- 24:43Speaker 5: of that. I remember the first three flavors. I think
- 24:46Speaker 5: I had a box that you gave me that had
- 24:48Speaker 5: a little mixture of them.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Cinnamon, watermelon, and mint.
- 24:51Speaker 6: Watermelon was my favorite.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:53Speaker 9: And when we launched blue Raspberry the Christmas before last,
- 24:56Speaker 9: that was named the mint of the Year by the
- 24:59Speaker 9: National can The Association, by the National Convenience Store I
- 25:03Speaker 9: mean National Communis Store Association. So we beat the Tic TACs,
- 25:06Speaker 9: doctor pepper, the Mento's. All these different flavors are humble
- 25:09Speaker 9: little product that launched their independent pharmacies. All these pharmacy
- 25:14Speaker 9: owners are part of the part of our company. It's
- 25:17Speaker 9: just been wonderful. And now we have the chili lime
- 25:20Speaker 9: mango that just came out. There was actually a Zell's
- 25:22Speaker 9: idea because of a pharmacist owner. Indian guy in Florida says, these.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Flavors are great, those first three, he.
- 25:30Speaker 9: Goes, but those are for white guys. I need stuff
- 25:33Speaker 9: for my people. I need stuff from my Asian staff.
- 25:35Speaker 9: And she blurred out, he.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Goes, what about mango ta heen.
- 25:37Speaker 9: Well, we got in the lab and started doing it,
- 25:39Speaker 9: and we realized, wait a minute, if you're going to
- 25:41Speaker 9: have Mexican food or Indian food, you don't want to
- 25:44Speaker 9: have a blue raspberry a mint. You want to have
- 25:46Speaker 9: something that almost like a wine pairing. And so now
- 25:49Speaker 9: we had Mexican food here at the show, people are like,
- 25:51Speaker 9: oh my gosh, I'm at my chili lime mango. It's
- 25:54Speaker 9: a great segue. And then I'm being left with the
- 25:57Speaker 9: sweet mango. But I'm not having that kind of a
- 25:59Speaker 9: clash of something else.
- 26:00Speaker 5: You have a pee, you have some of them, all right,
- 26:03Speaker 5: and then tell us the website where we have to
- 26:06Speaker 5: go to to get more access to this, breathrocks dot com.
- 26:10Speaker 9: So you go to breathrocks dot com. But you can
- 26:12Speaker 9: also go to the Sankora's the marketplace. If you're a
- 26:16Speaker 9: Marisursbergen customer, you.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Can order it that way.
- 26:19Speaker 9: If you're an aap API member, you can order it
- 26:22Speaker 9: that way.
- 26:22Speaker 3: If you're a customer of Windmill, you can get it
- 26:25Speaker 3: that way.
- 26:25Speaker 9: So there's just you know, a lot of ways where
- 26:28Speaker 9: these pharmacies can get.
- 26:29Speaker 3: This tool in there and use it.
- 26:31Speaker 7: This is good what.
- 26:32Speaker 3: They're going to do.
- 26:32Speaker 5: So yeah, I got it in my mouth. Now anybody
- 26:34Speaker 5: can hear this. Here you go, I love this.
- 26:38Speaker 9: I got one little sneak peek for you our next flavor,
- 26:42Speaker 9: Pineapple dole Whip.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Tell us the reason that you're doing that. This campaign
- 26:47Speaker 5: is crazy. Listen to this guy.
- 26:48Speaker 9: So here's the thing, Breathrocks. We're going to work for
- 26:53Speaker 9: thirty days leading up to the Muwana premiere on July tenth.
- 26:57Speaker 9: We're going to stalk him on Facebook, Instagram, wherever we
- 27:01Speaker 9: can find him and say it's day one getting Breathrocks
- 27:04Speaker 9: to try the rock to try Breathrocks. So my six
- 27:08Speaker 9: kids are going to be posting it day two, Day three,
- 27:11Speaker 9: day four.
- 27:12Speaker 3: What's funny.
- 27:13Speaker 9: Guess where my three youngest kids go to school, Rock
- 27:15Speaker 9: Canne Elementary, So all the kids in the neighborhood got
- 27:19Speaker 9: the Rock Cane shirts. We're gonna build up all this
- 27:21Speaker 9: momentum because we're saying we made a custom flavor for you,
- 27:24Speaker 9: Pineapple dole Wit flavor.
- 27:26Speaker 3: We're gonna get him and again.
- 27:27Speaker 9: What that's gonna do gets all that buzz And then
- 27:29Speaker 9: when you see this on social media, they walk in
- 27:31Speaker 9: the village pharmacy.
- 27:32Speaker 3: They walk into the pharmacy and say, oh my gosh,
- 27:35Speaker 3: I saw that on social media.
- 27:36Speaker 9: I want So those are little creative, fun things we're
- 27:38Speaker 9: doing to help drive traffic. And so when that pharmacist
- 27:42Speaker 9: gives that kid some breath Rocks for that flu vaccination,
- 27:45Speaker 9: they're saying, oh my gosh, this is awesome. I've seen this,
- 27:48Speaker 9: I wanted it, you know that type of thing. So, again,
- 27:51Speaker 9: it's just a fun tool. We're using it as a
- 27:53Speaker 9: way to promote from a marketing standpoint, and the pharmacists
- 27:56Speaker 9: can use as a tool to promote their marketing stuff,
- 27:59Speaker 9: patient giveaway, doctor detailing, whatever they gotta do. Because for
- 28:02Speaker 9: a buck forty nine, it's just a great tool to use.
- 28:05Speaker 3: To grow your pharmacy.
- 28:06Speaker 6: It's awesome. You got your friends all on this stuff.
- 28:09Speaker 7: Yeah, everyone at school.
- 28:11Speaker 6: What's everybody's favorite flavor?
- 28:12Speaker 4: Primarily their favorite flavor blue raspberry for sure.
- 28:17Speaker 6: Raspberry.
- 28:17Speaker 7: I feel like that's like a universal one that everyone loves.
- 28:20Speaker 6: I love it, I love it, I love it. I
- 28:22Speaker 6: love it.
- 28:22Speaker 5: Breathrocks dot com Rocks is r o X breathrocks dot com.
- 28:27Speaker 5: Thanks so much for being part of the Pharmacy Profits
- 28:30Speaker 5: Summit twenty twenty six.
- 28:31Speaker 6: It's a great place to be every year it is.
- 28:34Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 28:40Speaker 10: Hey, this is ajmera co founder Hugo r X, and
- 28:43Speaker 10: you are listening to the pharmacy podcast UGO.
- 28:49Speaker 6: I tell you what I heard about UGO.
- 28:51Speaker 5: Learned about UGO at the Pharmacy Profit Summit probably four
- 28:55Speaker 5: or five years ago.
- 28:56Speaker 6: My goodness, we're getting old, aren't we.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right, So give us set the stage.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Talk to us about UGO and what you guys do
- 29:05Speaker 5: for the profitability of pharmacy.
- 29:07Speaker 10: Yeah, no, thank you. So basically, long and short of it,
- 29:10Speaker 10: what we've created UGO to do is sync up to
- 29:12Speaker 10: your PMS system, run in the background, and scrub your
- 29:15Speaker 10: data for profit opportunities that we put right on our
- 29:18Speaker 10: dashboard for you. So, through the use of integrating AI
- 29:21Speaker 10: on a back end, coupled with our own in house
- 29:24Speaker 10: data analytics team, we are basically cross referencing what your
- 29:28Speaker 10: pharmacy is doing against what people within the UGO community
- 29:31Speaker 10: are doing, and we are hunting down profit opportunities that
- 29:34Speaker 10: you guys would otherwise miss and bringing them right to
- 29:37Speaker 10: the surface for you to execute.
- 29:39Speaker 5: So give us this low hanging fruit examples of what
- 29:44Speaker 5: you've done with other pharmacies and what they've found in
- 29:47Speaker 5: their data that are these opportunity flags.
- 29:51Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely so in its most simplistic form, we have
- 29:54Speaker 10: these audits that we've programmed that are again running in
- 29:57Speaker 10: the background, something like a refill audit, where the platform
- 30:00Speaker 10: is automatically going to be fishing through a rolling ninety
- 30:04Speaker 10: days of your dispense data looking for missed refill opportunities.
- 30:07Speaker 10: But also something very unique to UGO is called zero
- 30:10Speaker 10: refill opportunities. Where the patient may be out of phills.
- 30:13Speaker 10: It will highlight profitable prescriptions that are out of fills
- 30:16Speaker 10: and bring them to the surface for you to reach
- 30:18Speaker 10: out to prescribers. Because one thing people kind of forget
- 30:21Speaker 10: is that prescribers benefit from patient adherents. So when you
- 30:25Speaker 10: can isolate zero fill opportunities, not only does the patient
- 30:29Speaker 10: win saying on therapy, the pharmacy wins by picking up
- 30:31Speaker 10: a fill, and the prescribers love you because you keep
- 30:34Speaker 10: their adherents score nice and high.
- 30:37Speaker 6: All right, So.
- 30:40Speaker 5: When people have talked to me that are I just
- 30:43Speaker 5: got back from the American Pharmacists Association. There were some
- 30:46Speaker 5: hospital system pharmacists there. They were talking about profitability as
- 30:50Speaker 5: well and following the patient with medication adherents and things
- 30:55Speaker 5: that they're doing.
- 30:57Speaker 6: Long term care.
- 30:58Speaker 5: Pharmacy at home is really a growing sector. If I
- 31:03Speaker 5: was a pharmacy owner, are you able to do an
- 31:06Speaker 5: analysis for me based on my existing data to show
- 31:09Speaker 5: what opportunities I missed and then possibly break it into
- 31:14Speaker 5: sector opportunity.
- 31:15Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Absolutely, that's a great one.
- 31:17Speaker 10: So one of the things we do is we also
- 31:19Speaker 10: do NDC optimization opportunities. So we will look into your
- 31:23Speaker 10: dispense data, whether you're doing LTC, retail, whatever it may be.
- 31:27Speaker 10: We'll cross reference it against NDCs being adjudicated within the
- 31:31Speaker 10: UGO community, which is a couple thousand pharmacies strong, and
- 31:34Speaker 10: we'll be able to isolate out which NDCs you theoretically
- 31:37Speaker 10: could be using that have a higher profit per RX
- 31:40Speaker 10: yield to you will break them down by RX number
- 31:43Speaker 10: and by NDC that you can be associated with it,
- 31:45Speaker 10: and we'll give it to you in potential profit segments.
- 31:48Speaker 10: So we'll break it down section by section with you
- 31:51Speaker 10: know the corresponding RX number and n NEC you should
- 31:54Speaker 10: be using from profitable standpoint.
- 31:56Speaker 5: Tell the listeners where they can get more information about
- 31:58Speaker 5: your organization and link up with you guys.
- 32:00Speaker 7: Yeah, no, thank you so much.
- 32:02Speaker 10: So if you go to www dot ugo r X
- 32:05Speaker 10: dot com you can definitely take a look at some
- 32:08Speaker 10: of the stuff we do. But because you're a pharmacy
- 32:10Speaker 10: podcast listener, you are also going to get a free

- 32:38Speaker 11: Hi.
- 32:38Speaker 12: This is Amanda Pridget with Vaccine Connect and you're listening
- 32:42Speaker 12: to the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
- 32:47Speaker 5: Amanda, Welcome to the Pharmacy Profits Summitt twenty twenty six.
- 32:52Speaker 5: I'm so proud of what you've been building and how
- 32:55Speaker 5: you've been taking the vaccine and making it a profit
- 32:58Speaker 5: center for independent community Pharmacy is so excited to have
- 33:01Speaker 5: you here.
- 33:02Speaker 11: Well, thank you.
- 33:03Speaker 12: Our motto is to make sure that every independent pharmacy
- 33:06Speaker 12: has the opportunity to build a robust and profitable vaccine business.
- 33:11Speaker 6: I love that.
- 33:12Speaker 5: So when I was at your booth here in Dallas,
- 33:17Speaker 5: I thought that you had been around so much longer,
- 33:19Speaker 5: I said, five years.
- 33:20Speaker 6: It's been two years. But you've been a rocket ship.
- 33:23Speaker 5: You've been getting so much attention from independent community pharmacies
- 33:27Speaker 5: that do want They came out of the pandemic and
- 33:30Speaker 5: now people are understanding the importance of vaccines and different
- 33:33Speaker 5: types of vaccines, different things that are happening. Talk to
- 33:37Speaker 5: our owners, our listeners that didn't get to go to
- 33:40Speaker 5: the profits summit. What's the whole concept behind vaccine connect.
- 33:44Speaker 12: So I've been working in the vaccine business for a
- 33:47Speaker 12: long time. I started working with my pediatrician. I figured
- 33:51Speaker 12: out how the vaccine market worked, and I brought that
- 33:54Speaker 12: knowledge to independent pharmacy owners.
- 33:58Speaker 11: And my goal is to make sure that no one.
- 34:00Speaker 12: Is intimidated by this very complex vaccine market.
- 34:04Speaker 11: I was talking yesterday.
- 34:06Speaker 12: Did you know that over thirty new vaccines have been
- 34:09Speaker 12: introduced in the latist in the last ten years, right,
- 34:13Speaker 12: and so that's thirty new vaccines, but that's probably at
- 34:16Speaker 12: least thirty recommendations that have been changing. You know, there's
- 34:20Speaker 12: been a lot of questions about the vaccine schedule.
- 34:25Speaker 11: You know, a lot of new.
- 34:26Speaker 12: Adult vaccines that pharmacies want to start doing, but they're
- 34:30Speaker 12: really intimidated.
- 34:31Speaker 11: By the business.
- 34:33Speaker 12: And so our goal is to make sure that everyone
- 34:36Speaker 12: has a friend in the vaccine business. They have someone
- 34:38Speaker 12: that they can call that is member first. That's what
- 34:41Speaker 12: we talk about.
- 34:42Speaker 11: We are member first.
- 34:43Speaker 12: We work with a lot of manufacturers and we have
- 34:47Speaker 12: a lot of connections, but we're really here for the
- 34:48Speaker 12: pharmacies to be that to be that person that they
- 34:51Speaker 12: can look to with pricing questions, indication questions, process questions,
- 34:56Speaker 12: whatever it might be.
- 34:57Speaker 5: So the communication of vaccines and the education to the
- 35:01Speaker 5: public and to the community, that's also part of it.
- 35:04Speaker 5: So talk to us how you help to educate the
- 35:09Speaker 5: community pharmacy in pushing out that information and doing it
- 35:13Speaker 5: through a I don't know, a blog, a podcast, an
- 35:16Speaker 5: article like what are you doing to get the information
- 35:19Speaker 5: out for Vaccine connect members?
- 35:21Speaker 12: So we're trying lots of different ways right just whatever
- 35:24Speaker 12: however people want to receive their information.
- 35:26Speaker 11: We do.
- 35:27Speaker 12: We do social media posts, we have monthly newsletters. But
- 35:31Speaker 12: you know, one of the most exciting things we're doing
- 35:33Speaker 12: right now we're doing a trial with fifteen of our
- 35:36Speaker 12: members and it's called the Shinris Volume Accelerator Challenge, and
- 35:40Speaker 12: it's a four week challenge for these fifteen pharmacies to
- 35:44Speaker 12: three x the number of Shinris, which is the shingles
- 35:47Speaker 12: vaccine that they give in their pharmacy.
- 35:49Speaker 11: And we're doing weekly.
- 35:51Speaker 12: Consulting, We're doing group training, I am doing weekly emails
- 35:56Speaker 12: just really to help support these pharmacies and trying to
- 35:59Speaker 12: train their staff on what to look for and to
- 36:03Speaker 12: educate their community and to make sure that they're successful
- 36:07Speaker 12: and giving specifically the Shinriks vaccine and this challenge, but
- 36:11Speaker 12: it really bleeds over to any vaccine that they're giving.
- 36:14Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think of travelers. I'm thinking of sports,
- 36:19Speaker 5: people that are getting into sports.
- 36:21Speaker 6: I'm thinking of high school.
- 36:22Speaker 5: I'm thinking of so many verticals that you could create
- 36:26Speaker 5: a communications opportunity to outreach to your community, get them
- 36:31Speaker 5: the information, demystify the vaccine, and become a source of
- 36:35Speaker 5: revenue for the community pharmacy.
- 36:37Speaker 12: You know, it's funny that you mentioned travel vaccines because
- 36:39Speaker 12: we've had a lot of questions about travel vaccines and
- 36:42Speaker 12: creating a travel vaccine program in their pharmacy. You know,
- 36:45Speaker 12: this is the time of year that there are a
- 36:47Speaker 12: lot of travelers thinking about going overseas in the summer
- 36:50Speaker 12: or mission trips that are going. And so these independent
- 36:54Speaker 12: pharmacies are who the local organizations and churches returned to
- 36:58Speaker 12: about vaccines and ask them questions. And so I want
- 37:01Speaker 12: to support the pharmacies and say, Okay, if you get
- 37:03Speaker 12: a question about the typhoid vaccine, or if you get
- 37:07Speaker 12: a question about just t edapp or MMR you know
- 37:10Speaker 12: that you can't answer, call me.
- 37:12Speaker 11: I'm happy to help.
- 37:14Speaker 6: You just said something that just made me think. You
- 37:17Speaker 6: said churches. So imagine the missions the churches will go out.
- 37:20Speaker 5: And if you were a community pharmacy and you reached
- 37:23Speaker 5: out to some of your churches and say, hey, are
- 37:25Speaker 5: you planning any mission trips? We can actually put a
- 37:28Speaker 5: program together to bring everybody in kind of either at
- 37:31Speaker 5: the same time or do some education or answer questions
- 37:35Speaker 5: or whatever it is.
- 37:36Speaker 6: But that's a really good idea.
- 37:37Speaker 12: Yeah, And that's what I've been talking to pharmacies about
- 37:40Speaker 12: this week of like.
- 37:41Speaker 11: Okay, bring them all in on a time, you know,
- 37:44Speaker 11: on a.
- 37:44Speaker 12: Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, you know, and We'll vaccinate
- 37:48Speaker 12: everybody whatever they need.
- 37:50Speaker 11: You know, I'll make sure that my my refrigerator is
- 37:53Speaker 11: stocked and I have it all, you know, in house,
- 37:55Speaker 11: and we can.
- 37:55Speaker 12: Really service your group and so they're not having to
- 37:59Speaker 12: go maybe to a travel vaccine clinics that may be
- 38:02Speaker 12: thirty miles away. You know, I can take It's just
- 38:05Speaker 12: part of taking care of the community, which I know,
- 38:07Speaker 12: the pharmacies, that's why they exist, That's why they thrive.
- 38:10Speaker 11: It is because they take care of their community.
- 38:12Speaker 5: All right, I'm listening. You got my interests? Where do
- 38:15Speaker 5: I go to keep more information?
- 38:17Speaker 11: Okay, it's really easy.
- 38:19Speaker 12: You go to vaccineconnect dot com and there is a
