The Zack Ballinger Show

ABOUT BRADLEY:

The concept of work is changing → you no longer have to be an employee to add value to a company. You have skills that are helping one company right now. Why limit yourself? Expand your horizons, learn the true value of your skills, and work across multiple companies.

Mylance helps you up-level and run your freelance consulting business from back office admin, to lead generation alongside a community of talented peers.

My experience prior to Mylance:
-Uber Operator 2014 - 2018
-Managed 9 markets for Uber Rides in North Carolina
-Launched UberEATS markets: Miami and Milan
-Launched and managed the Carrier Operations team for Uber Freight
-Management consultant for Kaiser Associates - managed 10 client portfolios from various markets such as private equity, healthcare, telecom, and property insurance

After Uber, I worked with start-ups and logistics companies on how to launch, scale, and automate their businesses. I earned over $200k, learned how to work for myself, and the time and space enabled me to start Mylance.

On a personal note, I love wine, golf, crypto, learning about AI, and thinking about how we probably shouldn't make something smarter than we are.

Ingrid Moats has been teaching and tutoring for over 20 years.  She started tutoring as a volunteer in high school, because she enjoyed helping other students.

While there were many other options for how to make side income, she found tutoring an ideal fit.  Ingrid wanted to make understanding math easier for students, and help them become successful in math and more confident in their math abilities. She saw the value that math had in her own life, and wanted to give that gift to others.  Although she was at first a solopreneur, now she runs a tutoring company, Tampa Bay Test Prep, and works with other tutors who share their expertise in math. Together, they help students build strong math foundations using Singapore Math, and improve their scores with SAT/ACT Test Prep.

I am a Board Certified and Award-Winning Plastic Surgeon. I have served as the Chief of Plastic Surgery and Chief of the Department of Surgery for Jackson North Medical Center in Miami, FL. I specialize in whole body surgical & non-surgical cosmetic treatments for both women and men. I can discuss the latest innovations and procedures to help people make proper and informed choices. I am also a patient advocate and passionate about sharing the good, the bad and the ugly about common plastic surgery practices to help patients navigate the world of plastic surgery effectively and safely. My goal is to help people make their best choices about the latest and most innovative procedures. My active role as a whistle blower for patient safety has resulted in numerous litigations and defamation campaigns against me (from within the medical community). Most recently, I came under attack by Simon Ourian, a General Practitioner who became a celebrity cosmetic doctor, by performing procedures on the Kardashians. Dr. Ourian, surgeon to the stars, orchestrated a fake smear campaign with the help of a Russian company to discredit my practice. The reviews were retaliation against me for posting a series of videos on Instagram that were critical of Dr. Ourians credentials and disciplinary history (he is not qualified to perform the procedures he offers).  My reputation took a nosedive overnight after dozens of fake reviews were posted online. Fortunately, my story caught National attention and the entire retaliatory campaign was uncovered by an investigative report on INSIDE EDITION. I can be seen interviewed in the expose piece here https://ietv.co/3fbbbSz . Reputation and credentials are everything when choosing a plastic and cosmetic surgeon.  I was lucky INSIDE EDITION chose to cover the story and save my practice from a world-famous cosmetic doctor and his attempt to orchestrate fake reviews against me. At the end of the day, I continue to advocate for patient safety and expose bad practice within my industry--no matter the risk. That's why I have recently launched #ItsNotAllTheSame Social Media Series on my YouTube and Instagram accounts @drrubinstein and @plasticsurgerytruths. View the new episode here: https://youtu.be/h-1k-2R08g8
