January 15, 2026 Why Most Doctors Feel Trapped and How to Find Real Freedom with Vikram Raya

You did everything “right” to become a doctor, so why does freedom still feel out of reach? Many physicians look successful on paper yet feel trapped by long hours, relentless responsibility, and a paycheck that still controls their schedule. In this episode, Russ and Joey sit down with Dr. Vikram Raya to explain why high income doesn’t equal freedom and what actually changes the game.

Vikram breaks down the eight forms of wealth, showing how time, health, relationships, and purpose matter just as much as dollars. He also shares the mindset shifts behind his abundance challenge and why building a system beats chasing the next raise. Along the way, you’ll hear practical ways doctors can move from trading time for money to creating passive income through better cash flow, investing habits, and intentional life design.

If you’re a doctor (or high earner) who’s tired of feeling stuck, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and help you map the next right step. It starts with an honest inventory and a simple plan.

Top three things you will learn:

-Why high income can still create a “golden cage” for doctors

-How the eight forms of wealth reframe what “rich” actually means

-The system shift that helps doctors buy back time with passive income
