New York City surgical resident Dr. Brandon Axelrod, who owes over $400,000 in student loan debt, uses his hands to create elaborate balloon art for family, friends, classmates, professors, and kids. Axelrod was introduced to balloon art at a childhood dentist who performed magic tricks and later taught him how to do it. He also developed a successful side hustle as a magician and balloon artist, performing at birthday parties and local events under the name Dr. Brandini. Despite being a first-year surgical resident, Axelrod missed his hobby and found creative ways to bring in extra cash. He now makes videos in his apartment and hopes to monetize them for potential revenue. Despite some criticism about his financial situation, he remains optimistic about his future in the medical industry.
