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.
