More About Our Guest:
AJ Asgari is the CEO of Drugstore2door and Multi-Pharmacy Owner in Norman, Oklahoma.
A dynamic entrepreneur, AJ's journey began immediately after graduating from pharmacy school, where he purchased his first pharmacy using nothing but grit, goodwill, and work ethic. That bold first step set the tone for a career defined by resilience, growth, and vision. Over the years, he expanded into multiple pharmacy acquisitions, startups, and sales, while also venturing into consulting, real estate, investing, and even serving as a banking board member.
His entrepreneurial path ultimately led to the creation of drugstore2door, a company dedicated to empowering independent pharmacies with a strong online presence. By bridging the gap between traditional community pharmacies and the digital marketplace, drugstore2door helps owners stay relevant and competitive in the modern era.
Today, he continues to champion independent pharmacy by blending innovation with mission-driven leadership, driven less by profit and more by impact, collaboration, and the pursuit of long-term sustainability for pharmacy owners nationwide.
