    Asking for and getting a raise can make a significant difference in your financial plan for years to come. In this episode, Tim Ulbrich walks through a five-step playbook with practical tips and strategies to help you confidently ask for and get the raise you deserve. Episode Summary Asking for and getting a raise can make a massive difference in your financial plan, not just today, but for years and even decades to come. For many pharmacists, the thought of walking into their boss’s office and asking for more money can feel as unpleasant as getting a cavity filled.

The truth is, most people never get a big raise for one simple reason: they never ask. And that “ask” isn’t just about adding dollars to your paycheck. It’s about building confidence and advocating for the value you bring to your role. In this episode, YFP Co-Founder & CEO, Tim Ulbrich, PharmD, breaks down a five-step playbook with practical examples, real-world negotiation tips, and a few favorite strategies from Chris Voss’s Never Split the Difference.
