Who is Chris Bentley?
In this two-part special of The Konkering Pod, Jevon and Maddi sit down with Chris Bentley — former professional rugby player turned Southwest business powerhouse.
Across both episodes, Chris shares the highs and lows of his incredible journey. Part 1 dives into his rugby career, including how studying Philosophy shaped his mindset, the reality of playing professionally around the world, overcoming injuries, and life after retirement. Chris also reflects on the transformation of Exeter Chiefs since his playing days and the often overlooked gap between professional and community rugby.
Part 2 sees Chris shift gears, discussing his move into the business world. He talks about launching Notworking Networking, why building genuine connections is more powerful than traditional networking, and the wins (and challenges) that come with doing things differently. Chris also shares insights into his role at Building Brands and offers advice on overcoming nerves and defining success both in business and life.
