In this episode of Palm Harbor Local, Donnie sits down with Cavan Valance, founder of MPF Collective, for a real conversation about burnout, identity, and what it actually looks like to rebuild with intention. Cavan opens up about closing a successful fitness business, the year he took off to reset, and how he and his fiancée built something new from that clarity.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why Cavan closed a thriving business at its peak — and what led up to it
  • How to separate your identity from your performance
  • A simple framework (aware, aligned, organized, implemented) for handling setbacks without overreacting
  • How Cavan uses AI daily to save time without losing authenticity
  • Why physical health is the foundation for everything else

About Cavan: Cavan Valance is the founder of MPF Collective (Mental, Physical, Financial), a mentorship and coaching community for founders and entrepreneurs. Before that, he built and closed Hidden Summit, a fitness and wellness coaching business, after five years running CrossFit gyms in New York City.
