THE GRIDIRON MENTALITY with MARQUES OGDEN: EPISODE 9

Marques is a former NFL player who is now an inspirational keynote speaker. He's also the founder and CEO of Ogden Ventures LLC, five-time best-selling author (Sleepless Nights; The Success Cycle), business coach and consultant and the podcast host of Get Authentic With Marques Ogden; although his journey didn't come easy or without unrelenting adversity.

After retiring from football, Marques pursued a career in construction and contracting. At 27, he founded a construction company with fast growth but eventually went bankrupt, losing almost three million dollars on one project in 90 days.

He pulled himself together during his darkest hours and got a part-time job as a custodian. Marques rose to the top again with hard work and determination, using his struggles as inspiration to blaze his own trail forward.

Now, he shares his powerful story to help others learn how to fail forward and achieve success in their lives.
