Now, I’m all about achieving the "five freedoms"—time, financial, geographic, vitality, and growth—while empowering others to break free from traditional boundaries.

In this episode, I’ll share how I’m helping 100,000 doctors unlock their limitless potential, one bold move at a time!

Plus, I'll share the three financial milestones I've used to achieve stability, independence, and ultimately, freedom. It's a roadmap you can follow too!

Join Dr. Vikram Raya as together they explore the groundbreaking research that aims to rewrite the future of heart health for South Asians everywhere.
