Why You Should Own Your Own Freedom with David Phelps

Sometimes things happen in our lives and turn out to be blessings in disguise. In this episode, I have David Phelps joining me on the show. He is the perfect example of rising above difficult situations for a better future.

David was a practicing dentist when his daughter started developing health problems at the age of five, and he didn’t manage to be there for his daughter as much as he’d have loved to. At age 12, his daughter had a liver transplant, and David made it his mission to be there for his daughter. He sold his practice. Today David is an author and the founder of Freedom Founders.
