Three Million in 'side gig' sales and growing: Doctors and Dollars: S3E10: Dr Ali Alavi and Frunutta

Season 3 Episode 10 of The Doctors and Dollars podcast: Dr Ali Alavi is a midcareer urologist in Southern California. After almost 2 decades in private practice, he started a company to manufacture sublingual vitamins. His ‘why’ for this project was his son who has autism. After many years of struggling with the unique nutritional and gut-brain issues faced by children with autism, Dr Alavi decided to embark on this venture to help all those who were affected by similar issues. He describes the monumental tasks of establishing a forty thousand square foot mostly automated manufacturing plant for vitamins, the hassles of going through FDA approval, raising funds, getting back in debt, assembling a team, marketing the product and the joy of succeeding. His ‘side gig’ has now become much larger than every other aspect of his life. The company called Frunutta [https://www.frunutta.com/] now produces dozens of sublingual supplements with Three Million dollars in sales and growing. We wish him the best of luck and hope many of our listeners are inspired to do outside the box creative things like him.

Nuts and bolts of an aesthetic practice: Doctors and Dollars S3E8: Degha Fongod

Season 3 Episode 8 of The Doctors and Dollars podcast: Dr Degha Fongod is an internal medicine physician in Northern Virginia. Following a brief stint as an employed physician in Louisiana, she started her own private practice. This has now blossomed into a full cash aesthetic procedure practice with about twenty percent patients seeing her for primary care as well. We talk about the small details of running a private practice including leasing versus buying the office building and equipment equipment, automating appointments directly from the EMR and educating her patients about pricing and collecting payments. She has been quite successful at marketing her practice through social media and wants to teach other doctors how to do that – and also the details of setting up and operating aesthetic procedures within an existing practice. Being a single mother with two toddlers has not held her back from doing what she loves and what she dreams of doing.
