The Dream Job

Dr. Ravi Gupta grew up the son of a real estate investor, but did not realize his passion for real estate until after he began practicing medicine. Now, as the co-founder and managing partner of the real estate investment firm Viking Capital LLC, Dr. Gupta says: “I’m living my passions.”

In this podcast, Dr. Gupta discusses the financial flexibility that investment yields — and how this flexibility has allowed him the freedom to practice medicine on his own terms. Alongside his real estate work, Dr. Gupta works part-time as a hospital medicine physician in the Washington metropolitan area. He is also opening his own online practice in functional medicine, the medicine of health and well-being.
