Скачать или смотреть How Athletes Can Start Creating Content (Even Without Experience) | Aryan Sharma | YODT EP 33

In this episode, we sit down with Aryan Sharma, a former Western University basketball player and CEBL draftee, to talk about life after sport — and why content creation is becoming a natural next chapter for athletes.

Aryan played four collegiate seasons at Western University, appearing in 101 games and helping lead the program to an OUA second-place finish and a U SPORTS semifinal. He posted a career-high 37 points against Laurentian, grabbed 13 rebounds versus Nipissing, and was later selected second overall by the Montréal Alliance in the 2023 CEBL U SPORTS Draft. Off the court, he was also recognized with the Dr. Craig Boydell Award for Academic Excellence & Community Service.

Since stepping away from competitive basketball, Aryan has shifted his focus to building an audience online. While he’s had viral moments across short-form platforms, his real edge lies in understanding how to grow, engage, and monetize smaller, highly connected audiences — especially for creators who don’t aspire to chase a million followers.

This conversation explores:
How athletes can transition their competitive mindset into content creation
The identity shift that comes with leaving sport
Why small audiences can be more powerful (and profitable) than massive ones
How to build trust, community, and consistency online

Whether you’re an athlete navigating life after sport, a creator just getting started, or someone looking to build something meaningful online, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at the journey.
