#158 From Rugby to TikTok Influencer — Ben Mercer on navigating the transitional periods in his life, being a professional athlete with an English literature degree, the diversity of the rugby world, various motivations in sports, his passion for rugby, his love of reading and writing, self-publishing and becoming a Tik Tok creator

Ben was a professional rugby player with an English literature degree — something not unheard of in the diverse rugby world, but also certainly not usual. After retiring from the sport, he was confronted with the task of redesigning his life. Although it was initially tough, he took the slow approach of focusing on the things he enjoys doing, which proved very beneficial in the long term. Ben has self-published 3 books so far, he is freelancing, running courses and he recently became a rising TikTok creator.🎥🍿 YOUTUBE: WATCH HERELinks:Twitter — @bcemercerPersonal page — benmercer.meBen's NewsletterTik Tok — bcemercerInstagram — bcemercer📚 Ben's books:FringesOur RaceEndgame⌛TIMESTAMPS(00:00) - Intro (02:16) - The scripts that Ben grew up with (05:08) - School, University and Rugby (18:29) - The transitional period in France (25:43) - Transitioning to a new life (37:46) - Getting into writing (56:03) - Becoming a Tik Toker (01:06:05) - What did Ben learn from sports (01:09:01) - Closing remarks 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulTwitter: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People)Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast:Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): CollectiveLooking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?
