Christina Collins, founder and franchisor of Never Stop Moving 365, joins Eunicia Peret to share how she turned a passion for youth fitness into a rapidly growing, mission-driven business. With a background in education and physical literacy, Christina explains how movement in childhood builds far more than physical health, it develops confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that carry into adulthood. The conversation dives into modern parenting challenges, from overscheduled kids to screen-heavy lifestyles, and introduces a new model that brings movement directly into the home. Christina also shares her journey as a bootstrapped female founder, the grit required to scale without outside capital, and how she continues to innovate by constantly challenging her own business. This episode is a powerful reminder that building strong children and strong businesses both start with intentional action.

Key Takeaways:

Movement builds future leaders: Physical activity teaches resilience, confidence, and leadership early in life

Failure is feedback: Learning to fail safely as a child creates stronger, more adaptable adults

Modern childhood is out of balance: Kids are often stuck between overscheduling and excessive screen time

Convenience drives adoption: Bringing services into the home removes barriers for busy families

You don’t need external funding to scale: Grit, vision, and persistence can build a successful business

Limiting beliefs must be managed daily: Entrepreneurs need systems to quiet doubt and stay focused

Compete with yourself: Constant self-competition creates innovation and long-term advantage

Access matters: Removing financial and logistical barriers expands impact to more communities

Role modeling is powerful: Children adopt habits by watching what adults consistently do

You are limitless: Growth comes from pushing beyond perceived boundaries
