Meet Dr. David Phelps — Passive Income Mentor for Practice Professionals

David owned and managed a successful dental practice for over 21 years. But everything changed when his daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. In that moment, David made a life-altering decision: walk away from clinical practice to be by her side—made possible by the real estate portfolio he had quietly built on the side.

That “Plan B” created real freedom, and it became the foundation for what is now Freedom Founders, the premier mastermind for high-level practice professionals seeking to convert active income into passive cash flow within 2–3 years.

David is also the author of eight books, including his most popular, "Own Your Freedom: Sustainable Wealth for a Volatile World", along with "From High Income to High Net Worth", "What’s Your Next?," and "Inflation: The Silent Retirement Killer". He hosts the Freedom Founders Podcast, authors a weekly blog, and speaks nationally on wealth, purpose, and breaking the chains of active income dependency.
