EP32 - From Professional Rugby Union to Entrepreneurship With Ben Seymour

from The Growth & Banter Podcast · host Blake Micola

In this episode, we are joined by Ben Seymour, a former professional rugby union player turned entrepreneur, to unpack the journey from elite sport to building Rise, a fast-growing performance supplement brand. This episode covers the mindset required to transition from professional athlete to business owner, the realities of launching a product-based brand, and why discipline, recovery, systems, and community matter if you want to perform at a high level. Ben shares lessons from his rugby career, what sport taught him about pressure and resilience, and how those principles now shape the way he approaches business, health, and life. The conversation also dives into endurance, hydration, creatine, sleep, recovery, personal branding, and what it really takes to build a brand that people trust and come back to. It is a sharp, honest conversation about performance, entrepreneurship, and creating something meaningful from the ground up.
