  • Ep 270 Devan Gonzalez: Master the Art of Connection

    Welcome to the Strength Connection Podcast!


    In the 270th episode, I’m joined by Devan Gonzalez, owner and founder of Strive 11 Fitness, and host of the Mindset Cafe podcast.


    His journey took off as he transitioned to personal training, eventually launching his own 6-Figure personal training business serving a wide variety of clients from athletes to gym newcomers—a rare achievement WITHOUT an online model so common today.


    By the time he reached 28, Devan took the leap to become a gym owner, realizing his vision of building a fitness community that emphasizes personal growth as much as physical results. But he didn’t stop there!


    Driven to make a greater impact, Devan co-founded and scaled Strive 11 Fitness into a franchise model, becoming CEO of Strive 11 International, Inc. at just 31 years old.


    His approach to fitness and entrepreneurship is uniquely grounded in mindset mastery and resilience, which he shares with his growing community of franchisees.
