From Rugby to Business: Rhod Jones' Journey | The Coach Trap Podcast

Most people think discipline is about waking up at 5am and grinding harder. Rhod Jones knows it's actually about systems, setbacks, and storytelling.

Rhod went from professional rugby player to solopreneur, and the transition taught him more about business than any course ever could. The difference? Sport doesn't let you fake it. You either have the systems or you don't. You either make the comeback or you stay down.

In this episode, hosts Greg Styan and Dan Williams sit down with Rhod to unpack what professional athletics actually teaches you about mental health, productivity, and building a business that doesn't consume your life. This isn't motivational fluff. It's practical systems from someone who lived at the top of one career and rebuilt himself in another.

We cover why physical activity is non negotiable for mental clarity, how to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there, and why authenticity is the only edge you have left in a saturated market. Rhod breaks down his approach to storytelling, how he integrates work and family without the guilt, and the productivity routines that keep him consistent when motivation disappears.

If you're a solopreneur trying to figure out how to show up every day without burning out, this conversation will give you the framework. Not theory. Systems.
