The Road to Resilience: The Entrepreneurial Journey of Gavin Henderson-Peal

Foundations of a Founder

Laying the Groundwork – The Early Hustle of Gavin Henderson-Peal

Before the wellness clinics, consulting contracts, and licensed business models, Gavin Henderson-Peal was just a high school student with a work ethic that didn’t sleep outside of class. In 1996, Gavin was already starting his life learnings in subcontracting in construction trades. After learning the advantages to building and controlling what you earn, he launched his first official business two years later.

What followed was a whirlwind of ventures across industries: from product sales based on volume, to ownership in the motorsports business, to turning a love for fitness in a small empire building from different corners of passion and knowledge. Gavin didn’t wait for opportunity—he built it.

His diverse business interests laid the groundwork for a multifaceted approach to entrepreneurship that would later prove essential during his most trying times.

Key takeaway: Success isn’t just about starting—it’s about starting early, failing fast, learning faster, and building a foundation that can support future reinvention
