Brown Plastic Surgery owner, and author of The Real Beauty Bible, Dr. Richard Brown, joined us on The SKYLER IRVINE Show.

Dr. Brown was born in Georgia and attended school there. Starting as a communications major, he realized his passion for science and changed gears to go to medical school. In this episode, Dr. Brown speaks about the lessons he learned from medical school, including seeing a patient through till the end of their treatment even when you are tired, and it is easy to pass it off to a colleague.

After being given a practice, Dr. Brown decided he wanted to set himself apart from other plastic surgeons and build relationships with those who come in. He wants to be authentic as possible on Instagram so his patients feel a connection with him before they even get to know him. A lot of people and surgeons on social media tend to manipulate photos to their benefit. Celebrities tend to this, and it has an extreme impact on the plastic surgery business. This is something Dr. Brown does not want to do.

On the show, Skyler and Dr. Brown discuss building a medical business and how it differs from other business, being authentic to your “why”, and using social media to expand awareness. Dr. Brown’s book, The Real Beauty Bible, is available on Amazon for purchase.

Show Notes:

- What made him decide to become a doctor?

- Advice to someone choosing a major

- How has technology changed the medical world?

On this episode of #AskSkylerLive we are talking about some very recent news that just dropped, Libra. Facebook is coming out with a crypto currency marketed towards those who don't have access to a bank account. Hear Skyler's predictions and much more!

Questions Asked:

1. Facebook released a whitepaper that stated they will be launching a crypto currency called "Libra." They've received backlash for planning to enter the crypto payment industry when there are no regulations surrounding it. Do you think this will have a negative impact on Facebook?

2. Based upon Facebook's track record of privacy invasion and circulating fake news, should I be weary to trust them with my money?

3. Do you think Facebook teaming up with 27 other partners to have equal oversight of Libra's operations is a positive move going forward?
