Jennifer Murdock, MD, shares her cosmetic surgery growth strategy which involved moonlighting for other practices.

Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery.

As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.

Moonlighting as a Growth Strategy

Why this surgeon learned how to build before momentum kicked in

First, the "Moonlighting as a growth strategy" podcast explores what it really takes to build a sustainable aesthetic practice before momentum arrives.

In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Murdock. As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Miami, she chose a deliberate and patient approach to growth.

Notably, Dr. Murdock openly shares a reality many young surgeons experience but rarely discuss.

Early in her career, she moonlighted at other practices. At the same time, this approach allowed her to maintain financial stability. Meanwhile, she slowly built her own reputation. Additionally, she developed a referral base and patient trust in one of the most competitive aesthetic markets in the country.

Rather than a fallback, moonlighting became a strategic growth strategy.

During the conversation, we discuss what that phase actually looked like. Importantly, we also explore why it mattered.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How she evaluated risk vs. stability early on
• Why ego can sabotage long-term practice ownership
• The mindset shift required when you're building before you're "busy"
• How patience, consistency, and standards compound over time

Overall, this is a practical and honest conversation about practice building. Ultimately, it's the kind surgeons wish they had heard earlier in their careers.

If you're navigating growth, uncertainty, or the uncomfortable in-between phase, this episode will resonate deeply.

👉 Now, listen to "Moonlighting as a growth strategy" and learn the long game that actually works.

P.S. Importantly, most surgeons quit or overextend during this stage. Here, Dr. Murdock explains how to stay solvent, grounded, and focused while building something that lasts.

P.S. Now is the best time to get an objective second set of eyes on how your practice is really operating.Especially then, this matters before habits harden and the year fills up.
