In this episode, I interview Ruthann Anderson, CEO of CAPCA (California Association of Pest Control Advisors). Ruthann explains that CAPCA represents licensed PCAs (Pest Control Advisors) who she describes as “plant doctors,” often recommending non-chemical solutions such as irrigation changes, soil sampling, and nutrition adjustments before turning to pesticides. They advise across agriculture, turf, ornamental, and urban environments, and CAPCA focuses on statewide education and advocacy to support the profession. She discusses challenges like public perception and inconsistent enforcement in the past. A major example is the BeeWhere program, which CAPCA helped modernize to improve communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators to reduce bee losses, showing how collaboration across groups leads to better outcomes.We also discuss the complexity of pest management, including public health issues like rat infestations, and the misconception that agriculture uses chemicals carelessly. Ruthann mentions grant-funded work documenting over 200 examples of PCAs choosing non-chemical approaches, which CAPCA plans to publish.We also dive into United Ag's mission to transform healthcare in agriculture: simplifying access, reducing costs, and putting empathy first with zero-copay clinics in rural communities. Ruthann highlights how thoughtful decisions, whether in farming or healthcare, lead to better outcomes, and she shares how CAPCA members can leverage United Ag's network for reliable health coverage.CAPCA: https://capca.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Ruthann Anderson, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Chuck explained that Gray Line Tennessee, a 52-year-old sightseeing and motor coach company with over 320 employees and 250 vehicles, prioritizes employee health and education, particularly regarding diabetes awareness. The company's involvement with the American Diabetes Association aligns with its mission to educate employees about maintaining a healthy, balanced life, especially given the sedentary nature of many of their roles.Chuck also discusses the company's involvement with PENCIL, an organization supporting Metro Nashville Public Schools, and Operation Stan Down Tennessee, which helps veterans transition to civilian life.

Le symbole de la pharmacie — une croix verte lumineuse — est aujourd'hui tellement familier qu'on a l'impression qu'il a toujours existé. Pourtant, son origine est récente, et elle mêle histoire médicale, héritages religieux et stratégie de communication.1. Aux origines : la croix… mais pas vertePendant longtemps, en Europe, le symbole associé aux apothicaires n'était pas la croix verte, mais plutôt :le caducée (bâton surmonté d'un serpent),ou le symbole du bowl of Hygieia (coupe et serpent).La croix, elle, vient du christianisme. Au Moyen Âge, de nombreux soins sont prodigués par les ordres religieux : moines, religieuses, hôpitaux rattachés aux monastères. La croix devient alors un signe associé aux soins, aux remèdes et à la compassion.2. La croix verte apparaît au XIXᵉ siècleAu XIXᵉ siècle, chaque pays cherche à uniformiser l'identification des pharmacies. Certains utilisent une croix rouge… mais un problème survient : en 1863, la Croix-Rouge adopte officiellement ce symbole pour ses actions humanitaires. Pour éviter toute confusion — notamment en temps de guerre — les pharmaciens doivent trouver un autre signe.C'est alors qu'apparaît :la croix verte en France,la croix verte ou bleue selon les pays européens.Le choix du vert n'est pas religieux : c'est un choix symbolique. Le vert évoque :la nature,les plantes médicinales,la guérison,la vie,et même l'espérance.À une époque où la pharmacie repose encore beaucoup sur la botanique, la couleur paraît parfaite.3. Une norme française devenue un standard européenAu début du XXᵉ siècle, la croix verte s'impose progressivement en France grâce aux syndicats professionnels. Elle devient un repère visuel simple et efficace, facilement lisible dans la rue, puis se modernise :s'allume en néon dans les années 1950,devient animée (clignotante, rotative),puis numérique dans les années 2000, capable d'afficher température, heure ou animations.Aujourd'hui, la croix verte est adoptée dans une grande partie de l'Europe, même si certains pays gardent leur propre symbole (par exemple le « mortar and pestle » aux États-Unis).4. Un symbole fort, entre science et traditionAu final, la croix verte résume parfaitement la philosophie de la pharmacie : un héritage ancien (la croix), réinterprété de manière moderne (le vert) pour afficher à la fois soins, science et plantes médicinales.C'est cette combinaison qui explique que la croix verte soit devenue l'un des symboles médicaux les plus reconnus au monde.

Pharmacy benefits shouldn't feel like a black box. We sit down with Susan Thomas, Chief Commercial Officer at Lucy Rx, to unpack why drug costs keep rising and what it takes to build a benefit that serves patients and plans—not middlemen. Susan started as an oncology nurse and moved into PBM leadership, and that dual lens shows up in everything we cover: from the real-world stress of waiting days for an oral chemo to the hidden economics of rebate chains and vertically integrated networks.We dig into the two biggest levers for change. First, formulary autonomy: instead of being locked to a single, opaque GPO, a marketplace approach lets employers compare multiple rebate contracts, see drug-level net cost, and choose the best path for categories like Humira biosimilars or GLP-1s. That shift enables utilization management that protects value without opening the floodgates. Second, network independence: when PBMs own specialty and mail, steering is inevitable. By contracting with integrated health systems for specialty and modern mail partners for home delivery, plans can speed therapy, reduce waste from 30-day auto-ships, and improve member experience at a lower overall cost.We also talk fiduciary duty, policy momentum, and technology. Employers need verifiable net-cost math—not averages—to defend decisions in a post–J&J lawsuit world. Washington's scrutiny is rising, and incumbents are signaling changes, but structural misalignments remain. On the tech front, AI-driven reporting and specialty navigation are already here, while precision medicine and pharmacogenomics promise to target high-cost drugs to the patients who will benefit most. The question is whether the industry will embrace smaller, smarter populations when volume shrinks and outcomes improve.If you care about cutting pharmacy spend without compromising care, this conversation is a practical roadmap: ask for drug-level net cost, insist on formulary choice across GPOs, require independent specialty and mail, and set utilization criteria that put patients first. Subscribe, share this episode with a colleague who manages pharmacy benefits, and leave a review with the one PBM metric you wish you'd had sooner.This episode is sponsored by Benepower, the platform of choice for a modern benefits experience.

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupIn this episode, Nik Sharma (founder of Sharma Brands) returns to the pod to dig into how DTC brands should be thinking right now: simple, tested offers for Black Friday/Cyber Week, and how to turn those one‑time buyers into repeat customers.For DTC operators scaling from ~$50 M to $500 M:What makes a Black Friday offer work (hint: simple, tested, clear).Why retention after the sale is your leverage — and how to bake it into flows, creative and post‑purchase experience.The internal creative strategist role: why brands who won the recent platform updates had strong in‑house creative ideation, not just an agency doing the work.The “two‑layer strategy” to ads: first who, then why — and how that applies to landing pages, creatives and funnels.Why many brands still get tracking/events wrong on landing pages and why that kills scale.Who this is for: Founders, growth leads and performance marketers in DTC brands who are heading into Q4 and want to both hit a big seasonal number and build playbooks for 2025.What to steal:A plain‑text thank‑you email from the founder that goes out post‑purchase (low cost, high emotional return).Structure your Black Friday/Cyber Week offer now: test ahead, keep it simple, and communicate what's included vs not.Build the “creative strategist” role internally: someone whose job is crafting hooks, angles and formats for your brand (not just delegating to the agency).Timestamps00:00 Retention mindset after Black Friday02:00 Building simple and effective BFCM offers04:00 Why most Black Friday customers don't return06:00 Creative strategy and the Andromeda update08:00 Why brands need an internal creative strategist10:00 Going deeper on avatars and buyer psychology12:00 Marpipe and the importance of better DPAs14:00 Rethinking top-of-funnel in 202516:00 Cutting through the noise with creators and TikTok18:00 Pharmacy trends, GLP-1s, peptides, and affiliates20:00 Supplements, problem-solution marketing, and AI prompts22:00 How Nik uses AI for reporting and creative inputs24:00 Sharma Brands acquisition and team evolution26:00 Sleep optimization and Q4 habits28:00 Landing page fundamentals and data accuracyHashtags#dtcpodcast #niksharma #sharmabrands #ecommercegrowth #bfcm2025 #blackfridaystrategy #d2cpodcast #directtoconsumer #marketingstrategy #facebookads #retentionmarketing #creativestrategy #andromeda #paidmedia #landingpages #marpipe #tiktokmarketing Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouseFollow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

From 20 years behind the pharmacy counter to running a fast-growing wellness brand stocked in 1,500+ stores, Laura shares the real story behind Fabu Wellness: the failures, the stolen idea, the long nights in labs with breastfeeding babies, the near-quit moments — and the explosive online launch that changed everything. She reveals how she built a deeply engaged audience during COVID, why simplifying health information is her superpower, the truth about going viral, and how humour, honesty and empowerment built a movement behind her sell-out show Viva La Vulva.

The origin story of Viva La Vulva and how it grew into a national tour. The 12-year journey behind Fabu Wellness — including the major setback that nearly stopped her.

Scaling to 1,500+ stores while staying authentic and refusing fear-based content tactics. Mistakes entering the UK market — and why toning down the humour didn't work.

Most founders focus on selling their products, but few take the time to teach people why they matter. For Shizu Okusa, that difference has become her biggest advantage in business. A former Wall Street trader turned wellness entrepreneur, Shizu is the founder and CEO of Apothékary–a brand known as "Mother Nature's Pharmacy."  What started in her kitchen, mixing herbs like maca and ashwagandha, has grown into a nationwide brand stocked in Ulta, Sprouts, and 500+ stores across the U.S. Shizu's lessons in business will change your approach to connecting with customers.  Education Over Persuasion If you want people to trust your brand, stop selling and start teaching. Shizu discovered that most consumers don't reject wellness products because they don't care; they reject them because they don't understand them. By focusing on education instead of persuasion, she turned curiosity into loyalty.  From breaking down the science behind adaptogens to teaching why liquid tinctures outperform pills, Apothékary built authority through honesty — and showed that sharing knowledge is the strongest form of marketing. Growth Without Burnout Fast growth means nothing if you burn out in the process. Shizu's journey is a reminder to pace your ambition. She shares how defining her investor relationships, protecting her energy, and staying rooted in purpose helped her scale Apothékary without losing herself.  Her approach challenges every founder to ask: Are you building something that grows fast, or something that lasts? Enjoy this episode with Shizu Okusa… Soundbytes 08:23 - 08:31 "And so there's just a lot of education that actually is marketing. We primarily think ourselves as an education company more than anything else." 30:54 - 31:13 "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly. So, when I say that, what that basically means is, your company is going to be pacing with consumer demand or market growth. And so if your company and your market's growing exponentially, there is no way you can have the same expectation for people to grow exponentially." Quotes "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly." "There really is a cost that comes with growth." "I think of myself as an editor of the brand, more than a face of the brand."
