Vivian sat down with Dr. David Kim to explore the complex finances of building a dermatology career across clinical practice, entrepreneurship, and content creation. Dr. Kim breaks down where people actually waste money on skincare versus where they should invest. He answers the big questions about what doctors actually earn compared to years of training, managing ethical lines as a doctor-creator in the age of brand deals, and how to maximize a skincare budget for actual results. From Stanford Medicine to content creation, Dr. Kim proves that sometimes the best investment is understanding what's actually worth it for the skin staring back at you in the mirror.
