Catalyst Pharmacy Journeys I: Teaching, Teaming Up, and Taking Ownership

Four pharmacy leaders. Four different journeys. In this episode, we revisit the real paths people take into pharmacy — and the impact they’re making in their communities. Matt Binder shares how he grew from single-store owner to multi-store operator with support from Cascadia Pharmacy Group. Marcus Howard talks about leaving teaching to open a pharmacy focused on inclusion in St. Louis. Lacy Epperson explains how she’s expanding clinical services in rural Missouri. And Bill Osborn offers insight into multigenerational ownership, mentorship, and what it means to serve a community. Together, these leaders show the passion and purpose behind independent pharmacy.
