Today, I’m re-releasing one of the most inspiring conversations we’ve had on the show—my interview with Alesia Quante, CRNA, educator, and founder of the 1099 Success Academy. We first aired this episode in 2024, but we’re bringing it back because interest in 1099 work among CRNAs has grown tremendously—and Alesia continues to be a leading voice in helping CRNAs take control of their careers.
From living aboard a sailboat and crafting a CRNA career on her own terms to a life-threatening health scare that ultimately fueled her mission to empower others, Alesia’s story is indeed remarkable. In this episode, she doesn’t just walk us through how to make that shift—she gets into the why. Why it matters. Why it’s worth considering. And why it might just be the key to building a career and a life that truly align with your values.
Whether you’re just starting to explore 1099 work or looking to fine-tune your independent business, this conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy this encore episode of MoneyRx for CRNAs with Alesia Quante.
