Life is full of NEXTS … but some are truly a crossroad that will determine our entire trajectory and that single choice can rest in how our life will unfold. In this powerfully liberating Aging GreatFULLy episode, we welcome guest Dr. David Phelps, DDS, author of WHAT’S YOUR NEXT? The Blueprint for Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle.
Dr. Phelps experienced his own pinnacle moment of truth, deliberating his own “What’s Your Next? intersection, in his real-life emotional experience of standing over the gurney of his 12-year-old daughter as she was about to be wheeled into the operating room for a liver transplant. He found himself overcome with a sense of helplessness. And worse, knowing she would need his loving support and care in recuperation with the demands of living with acute lymphocytic leukemia. But his real-life reality was that he was trapped by a business that kept him wedded to a treadmill that allowed him no time to support her. And it was in that moment that he made the decision of His Next – stepping out of his comfort zone and on a leap of faith, choosing his Freedom Lifestyle.
That day of his wakeup call, he made the critical decision to build a life that afforded him the freedom of time to be with his daughter instead of a traditional path that would “give away” his time to a career and business that he’d spent building for decades.
He pursued a path of self-knowledge, relationship building and informed capital acquisition that resulted in such success that others asked him for guidance. Out of a meeting in his living room, with a number of friends who wanted to know how he had untangled himself from his professional practice to achieve a lifestyle of time-freedom – came Freedom Founders – an organization that helps others achieve the Freedom Lifestyle. Today, David is a nationally recognized speaker on creating Freedom, helps other professionals become dreamers, then strategically manifest those dreams into Freedom. He authors a monthly newsletter, "Path to Freedom" and hosts "The Dentist Freedom Blueprint" podcast.
In helping others determine WHAT’S THEIR NEXT, David has blazed a trail and created a community of people who are supporting each other and planning consciously for a life that affords them time to spend with their families, with their special interests or mentoring and serving others in ways that creates meaning and fulfillment.
