What does it really take to run a pole competition?

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most challenging competition seasons we’ve ever experienced.

From theatres being double booked and last-minute venue issues, to poles not arriving, rising costs, low ticket sales, scheduling headaches, interstate logistics, and the constant problem-solving that competitors never see—we’re sharing it all.

This isn’t about complaining. It’s about giving you an honest look at what happens behind the scenes, why ticket sales matter so much, and just how much goes into making sure competitors can step onto a stage and perform.

Whether you’re a competitor, studio owner, aspiring organiser, or simply love the pole community, this episode will completely change the way you look at competitions.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens before the lights go up, this is the episode for you.
