About this listen

We all see the highlight reels of business success—big wins, major milestones, and the dream of freedom that comes with entrepreneurship.

But what about the hard truths? The long nights, emotional stress, financial pressure, and personal sacrifices that rarely get talked about?

In this episode of Behind the Counter: Pharmacy and Beyond, I share the real, unfiltered story of what it’s truly like to run a business—specifically a pharmacy business in the UK—and the lessons I learned the hard way.


🎙️ In this episode, I open up about:

• The freedom I expected vs. the reality of business ownership

• The financial, emotional, and mental costs of keeping my business alive

• The mistakes I’d avoid if I could start again

• Practical advice for anyone starting a business or scaling an existing one


If you’re a pharmacy contractor, entrepreneur, or small business owner, this episode is for you. Whether you’re in the trenches or planning your next move, you’ll walk away with real insight, raw truth, and lessons that can save you time, money, and stress.
