The Cheer Biz Podcast

Why Your Competitor Closing Might Be Bad For Business


Listen Later

In this episode of The Cheer Biz Podcast, Dan unpacks a surprising truth: your local competitor closing down isn't always a win. From reduced industry visibility to cultural clashes when clients migrate over, Dan shares why fewer gyms in your area can actually spell trouble for long-term growth.

He breaks down:

  • Why fewer competitors can mean fewer eyes on cheerleading

  • How closures might signal market instability

  • Why customers don’t automatically (or always helpfully) transfer

  • The danger of losing your benchmark and creative motivation

  • Why a thriving cheer industry benefits everyone

    If you’ve ever celebrated a rival gym going under—or feared one might—you’ll want to hear this perspective-shifting episode. Growth isn’t about domination, it’s about expansion. Tune in and rethink what real victory looks like.
