Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Andrew Wilner ...
This episode discusses working side gigs, particularly for physicians, with guest Andrew Wilner. He talks about how locum tenens work allows doctors flexibility to test different locations before settling down. It also provides an option for those wanting reduced hours near retirement. Burnout is a risk if the work is not balanced, but side projects can help rekindle passion if done right. Wilner took time off from clinical work and was surprised by medical advances when returning. He advises having savings to support yourself when starting something new. The discussion covers how isolation from technology changes can impact doctors' wellbeing. Overall, the podcast provides advice on maintaining work-life balance and passion for one's career through temporary opportunities or side projects.
