In this episode of Living Not So Fabulously, John and David speak with Brandon Aversano, the Founder and CEO of Alloy. After finding himself in a precarious financial state due to a testicular cancer diagnosis, Brandon resorted to selling off some of his family's gold. That moment of vulnerability turned into a business opportunity after Brandon created a fair and easy-to-use platform to sell precious metals called Alloy. On this episode, Brandon recounts the earliest days of his company, how he overcame cancer, and advice for those in the LGBTQ+ community looking to improve their financial stability.
