In 2003 Marques Ogden was drafted into the NFL as an offensive lineman, and after 5 years of playing in league he decided to retire and pursue a career in construction and contracting.  At the age 27, Marques founded a construction company named Kayden Premier Enterprises. The company experienced fast growth, but in 2010 his business went bankrupt, losing almost 2 million dollars on one project in a matter of 90 days.

During his darkest hours, he pulled himself together, got a part-time job as a custodian and with hard work and determination became an inspirational keynote speaker, executive coach, best-selling author and marketing leader, helping to build thie success of others.  

The primary elements of this episode are:

  1. Even in the darkest of times, with a single decision you can recreate yourself and totally transform yourself and your life circumstances. 
  2. Ego - the part of you that is fear-based and feels superior or inferior to others creates unnecessary pain in life. 
  3. The thing that separates those who ultimately succeed from those who do not is our ability to keep our own promises to ourselves and hold ourselves accountable in life.
