In this powerful episode of Real Talk, I sit down with Marques Ogden, former NFL athlete turned entrepreneur, globally recognized keynote speaker, and podcast host to one of the top globally recognized podcasts, Get Authentic with Marques Ogden—for a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, failure, and the power of reinvention.

After a successful NFL career, Marques built a multimillion-dollar construction business, only to lose it all due to what he admits was ego-driven decision-making.

But instead of letting failure define him, Marques transformed his mindset, embraced accountability, and rebuilt his life from the ground up.

✨ The hidden dangers of success and ego
