Join us in our series “What are Your Colleagues up to?” to hear from Dr. Brian Alverson, a Pediatrics Physician who has NOT ONE, but THREE side gigs.
Brian’s philosophy is to diversify his income while having fun and learning. So, how did he do it? He found every opportunity he could, weighed the pros and cons by discussing with colleagues who did it already, and followed his own moral compass to begin his journey into expert witnessing, online lecturing, and finally, his third side gig: creating medical devices.
In today’s interview, we will learn how he gets paid to travel, how much to charge for services, what to expect in a courtroom, and MUCH MORE.
Listen in, and if you have any questions, remember that you can always email info@mdfinancialadvisors.com OR set up your first meeting, completely complimentary, with one of our advisors.
