Building Community and Connection in Business with Craig Moody

Youth sports are not just about skills and scores. They are one of the most powerful engines of belonging.

A 2020 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that youth sport participation is consistently linked to a stronger sense of belonging and more prosocial behavior, especially when environments are inclusive and supportive.

In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Craig Moody, Founder and President of Shoot 360, to explore how to build real community and connection in a high-tech basketball training and franchise environment.

Craig shares powerful insights on:

• How to turn a training facility into a true community hub for athletes and families

• The systems that keep culture and connection strong as locations scale

• Using technology to deepen relationships instead of replacing coaches and mentors

• Why purpose and love belong at the center of competitive sports businesses
