Spreading Shine: Building a Kids' Fitness Franchise with STARZ Program (Audio)

What does a t-ball game in 2004 have to do with a growing national franchise? Everything. On this episode of Powered by Franchising, we sit down with Sophia Wastler, Founder of The STARZ Program, and Allie Adamson, Franchise Developer, to talk about how a moment at the park — and one little boy's spark of confidence — grew into a children's fitness enrichment brand now expanding across the country.  Sophia shares the teaching career that opened her eyes to the link between confidence and kids' success, the SHINE philosophy at the heart of every class, and what makes STARZ a standout franchise opportunity — from its flexible, school-based model to the support that helps owners thrive. Allie breaks down who makes a great STARZ owner and what the path to ownership looks like.  And a fun footnote: Sophia's son Vinny — the five-year-old who inspired the STARZ Program in 2004 — is now 26, and he still takes full credit. (We'll let him have it.)  Thinking about franchise ownership?
