Summary

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Dr. Vivek Soham shares the unfiltered reality of building an upper cervical chiropractic practice through personal hardship, financial pressure, COVID, and profound self-doubt. From commuting hours to see a single patient, to living on a 30-day survival clock, Dr. Soham reflects on the mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges that nearly pushed him to quit—and the mindset shifts that helped him persevere. This episode goes beyond tactics, exploring faith, gratitude, collaboration, and purpose, while highlighting how service, community impact, and staying anchored to one's mission can turn years of struggle into meaningful wins. It's a must-listen for students and doctors who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning whether they're cut out for this path.
