Building a Family Wellness Empire: Yuri Amor Perez on Inclusivity and YUYO.love

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Yuri Amor Perez, the inspiring founder behind YUYO.love. Yuri shares her journey from creating inclusive in-person fitness communities with her non-profit, Fit Mixed Communities, to developing a holistic wellness app designed for the entire family. Driven by her experience caring for her Spanish-speaking, legally blind mother and her own children, Yuri identified a critical gap in the market for accessible, bilingual wellness content that bridges generations and focuses on joy and mental health over weight loss.Yuri delves into the vision for the YUYO.love app, which will feature live-streamed and on-demand classes ranging from senior yoga and kids' superhero workouts to cooking competitions and mental health workshops. She discusses the challenges and triumphs of entering the startup ecosystem as a Latina mom over 40, building her diverse team of eight, and her mission to empower not just users but also other wellness entrepreneurs by bringing them into the business fold to create sustainable, impactful ventures.
