Opening A Rock Climbing Gym While The World Was Shut Down | Kori Cuthbert

Описание: Kori Cuthbert is the founder of The Hive Climbing Gym, but the journey to opening Winnipeg’s first dedicated bouldering gym started long before the doors ever opened.

In this episode of 204 Rise, Kori shares why traditional fitness often fails to keep people engaged and how climbing creates something different, community built through problem-solving, shared struggle, and trust. He talks about choosing Winnipeg as the place to build something that didn’t exist yet, walking away from the “what if” mindset, and taking on real financial risk to bring the vision to life.

We get into going deep into debt, launching a physical space just as the pandemic hit, and the realities of building a business rooted in passion rather than trends. Kori also reflects on lessons from the mountains, fear management, patience, perspective, and near misses and how those experiences shaped his approach to leadership and long-term growth.
