ZYIA Active operates in the clothing MLM niche, specifically marketing activewear.

ZYIA Active is an active lifestyle brand. It is also a culture that believes in embracing activity with excitement, vigor and delight.

ZYIA Active operates in the US, Canada and Australia. The company doesn’t provide a corporate address on its website.

ZYIA Active’s website Terms and Conditions however points to a Draper, Utah mailing address.

Heading up ZYIA Active are co-founders Erin and Jeremiah Badley.

Erin Bradley serves as ZYIA Active’s CEO. Jeremiah Bradley is Chairman of the Board.

Erin Bradley claims she and her husband created ZYI Active because they

wanted to create something that would get women out there together to become healthier, more active and to feel more purpose in life.

I realized that one of the best ways for me to stay energized and positive was to get outside with my friends and do something active or adventurous, or preferably both.

It led me to want to be more active with my own family. It helped me be more productive in other areas of my life as well and I found myself becoming closer to being my best self.

Being active and getting outside helped my family get away from electronics and distractions.

I wasn’t able to establish whether Erin Bradley had an MLM history prior to ZYIA Active.

Jeremiah Bradley first appeared on BehindMLM in 2015, as then co-CEO of Agel.

Jeremiah Bradley started with Agel Enterprises from the beginning after finishing his college degree in International Studies at Brigham Young University.

Agel launched in 2005. In 2013 it was sold of CVSL. CVSL rebranded itself to JRJR33 and went on to collapse in July 2018, dragging Agel down with it.

It seems Jeremiah Bradley got out a few years before JRJR33’s collapse (possibly while Agel was in decline), with ZYIA Active launching in 2016.

Fundsz’s official FaceBook Group has two moderators; Kim Diaz and Rene Larralde (right).

Juan Pablo Valcarce (right) is also based out of Florida. I wasn’t able to establish whether Valcarce has an MLM history under either of his aliases.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Valcarce was Vice President of Sales as an industrial products firm from Feb 2019 to June 2021. He then accepted his current position, as Marketing Liason for Encompass Health.

FullBNB provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

FullBNB’s website domain (“fullbnb.net”), was registered on March 25th. “Luis Angel Montes” is listed as the owner, through a random address in Argentina.

The email used to register FullBNB was also used to register BNBglend.

BNBglend appears to be a clone of FullBNB, running the same website backend script.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]
