Episode Description
Is NCPA really worth it for independent pharmacy owners? What's the real world ROI of being apart of NCPA?
In this episode, Scotty Sykes, CPA, CFP, Bonnie Bond, CPA, MBA, and Austin Murray sit down with Mark Ey, COO of NCPA and Hashim Zaibak, PharmD, CEO of Hayat Pharmacy to break down what NCPA actually does for independent community pharmacies and why so many owners miss the real value hiding in plain sight.
We cover:
- Why NCPA advocacy matters (and how it amplifies the patient voice in Washington)
- Ownership Workshop and other owner resources
- The biggest business lesson many owners learn too late: profit ≠ cash flow
- Why LTC is a major opportunity for the next 5–10 years
- Student and young pharmacist pathways (school visits, internships, and building the next generation)
And more!
