"High-Income Dependency Syndrome" Devours 99% of Practice Owners
Every morning, you trudge into a practice that owns you instead of the other way around.
Hemorrhaging family time. Suffocating under overhead. Drowning as a prisoner in golden handcuffs that were supposed to set you free.
October 23-25 is the weekend you join the jail-break.
Dentists Who Shattered Their Golden Handcuffs
Dr. Kevin and Kelli Collins

Freedom Founders has been a great asset for us. I think just the thought that, if I wanted to wake up tomorrow morning and do something different, do nothing at all, that I could do it and not be worried.
It's opened up my eyes on just a whole different world I didn't know existed.
Drs. Brad and Jennifer Mokris​
I went to a Freedom Founders event and just had this great experience of learning and seeing this eye opening world of the mindset that a lot of the members had. They were so giving…
To have people tell you that story and be honest with you, you knew you were in the right spot.
Dr. Cindy Rider and Scott Densmore
Coming to Freedom Founders has really opened a door to learn about the real estate world, to learn about different types of investments. To figure out what do we need as a couple going forward…
It gave us a lot of opportunity, a lot of knowledge, and I don’t think we would be where we are today without Freedom Founders. No way.

The Sunday Transformation
Sunday afternoon. 4:47 PM.
You're standing in the hotel lobby, car keys shaking from excitement in your palm.
But you're not the same person who shuffled in Thursday morning.
The scared dentist who entered has been obliterated.
In his place: a sophisticated investor who commands his destiny.
Your phone buzzes. It's your spouse. "You sound different. What happened?"
You smile, knowing you'll never explain it properly.
Some transformations can't be described. They can only be lived.
More Dentists Who Broke the Golden Handcuffs
Drs. Brent and Ally Rickheim
Being Free for Life for us means knowing that we have the option to pivot to do something different if we want to, because we aren't dependent on solely practicing dentistry to make a living.
Freedom Founders has helped us dial in more detail and just be unified in our financial plans… It’s exciting. We can both get super excited about it, because we both know what’s going on.
Dr. Jeffrey and Celia Chen
Since being in Freedom Founders, I've taken more time off work. I did try to attend all the kids' activities, but I wasn't mentally present…in the back of my mind, I was always worrying about, "How can I make this practice run better? How can I grow this practice?"
Enjoy time now. Enjoy happiness now. True wealth is having that choice to do what you want to do on your own terms, and Freedom Founders has given us that clarity at an earlier stage in life.
Drs. Ed and Lisa Wentz​
I've asked this question since I was in my thirties. "What are you gonna do when you retire?"…with some recent health issues, it's been an eye opener. You think you're invincible, and you've got all these years, but you just don't know.
That was one of the things that we thought was neat about Freedom Founders. It is about the legacy and the next generation, and not to be a cul de sac just to the kids, but to look beyond the kids, to the grandkids and their kids.
The Fork in the Road
Right now, you're at a crossroads:
Road A: You bookmark this page. Meaning to register 'later.' You convince yourself 'next year.' October 2nd passes. January 2026 rolls around. You're still Golden-Handcuffed to the same chair, treating the same problems, counting the same money that never quite feels like enough.
Road B: You seize this moment: The intersection where successful dentists become wealth architects. You super-charge your transformation. Sunday October 26th, you walk out of Dallas as a different person. Early 2026, your investment portfolio is throwing off real money.
Your future self is watching. Which road will you take?

Even More Dentists Who Broke the Golden Handcuffs
Dr. Brad and Sherri Dixon​

I had some health issues and ended up needing to sell the practice before I was really ready to. It turned out to be a blessing because after COVID, we had staffing issues and everything seemed to be more difficult. It just was time.
Had I not done Freedom Founders, life would be a lot more chaotic and a lot more stressful. It's a very real community, and one that I feel blessed to be a part of.
Dr. Ben and Sondra Jensen​

I've recently taken an extra day off at work and I'm having more more fun than ever practicing, while having record breaking months at the practice. Being Free for Life™ means spending more time with our family, and taking more time for ourselves to travel and learn new hobbies.
Dr. Tina and Marshall Herington
What brought me to Freedom Founders was COVID, when the practice was shut down, it made me realize that I had all my eggs in one basket, in one practice, in one building. And if anything happened to the practice or building, nothing would ever replace it's value.
I feel much better now that we are more diversified in our investments. I'm much more confident that no matter what happens, we're going to be in a much better place than we would have been before.
Claim Your Seat for The Defining Weekend of Your Career
This transformational experience is designed for dentists, doctors, and business owners who:
1
Want to maximize their investments to create wealth and Freedom beyond their practice income.
2
Desire to become their own financial architect instead of blindly trusting advisors.
3
Are unsure of their current plan & strategy, but know there's a world of investing beyond mutual funds and 401(k)s.
4
Are seeking a proven non-traditional model for a life with choices and options—where money works for them instead of the other way around.
If you're generating good income but still feel financially trapped...
If you're tired of trading time for money with no freedom outside the chair...
If you're ready to discover how to create passive income, security, and Freedom...
Then October 23rd is your liberation date.
The Brutal Math of Delay…
While you're "thinking it over," here's what's happening:
✗ Economic shifts accelerate without your preparation
✗ Date nights become business discussions about staff problems
✗ You model "successful misery" for your children
✗ Sunday night anxiety becomes your weekly ritual
Miss this weekend, and you'll spend 2025 exactly like 2024:
Working harder, earning less, and building nothing lasting.
The dentists who attend this transformational weekend will spend 2025 building their freedom.
The dentists who skip will spend 2025 building regrets.
Which will you be?

Frequently Asked Questions
1
Do I need investing experience?

2
Is this only for dentists ready to retire?
It's for dentists at any stage who want to create real wealth and time freedom, without sacrificing income.
3
What makes this different?
This is NOT another dry CE course—this is a proven blueprint for creating financial freedom outside your practice.

Can my spouse attend?
Yes - in fact we highly encourage bringing them.
Most dentists will be attending as a couple. Spouse tickets are complimentary—because transformation happens when you're unified.
