Marques Ogden is a former NFL player who is now the founder and CEO of Ogden Ventures LLC, an inspirational keynote speaker, three-time best-selling author (Sleepless Nights; The Success Cycle), business coach and consultant, and the co-host of The Lev & Marques Show; 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 two 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 achieve success in their lives. Marques’ story and insights as a thought leader have been featured in top publications such as Authority Magazine, Forbes, and Sporting News. 

As a speaker, he’s landed jobs with Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Intel. As a podcast co-host, he’s interviewed iconic guests such as Michael Strahan, Joe Namath, and Willie Parker Jr.  Marques hopes to continue reaching new levels in his professional career and positively impacting as many people’s lives as possible.

Today we are looking into the work you have to do to be a successful artist.  

Teedeevee shows if you put your mind to it. you can do anything!

Teedeevee is an Afro-pop, Afrobeat Artist based in Lagos Nigeria. He is a Top International Afro-Beat musician, lyricist, composer, performer, and award winner of the Best upcoming artist in Africa in 2017. Teedeevee describes Afropop as African Music combined with popular hip hop music but with a heavier beat. One of Teedeevee’s recent songs KORE (the mantra of Hope) is about giving people hope during this time of Covid. The continent, like all others, has been hit hard by the virus and people's lives and livelihoods have been affected and income taken away, so a song to keep people’s hope alive is what he created. In his album Adventure, Teedeevee’s music transcends into messages of love and life.  Coming from Nigeria, Teedeevee struggled to balance both getting his law degree and his love for creating music that tells a story. In 2021, he successfully got admitted to the bar, and in the same year, released his album. Teedeevee is a dynamic and versatile artist, which has led him to have a majority of global influences and collaborations reflected in his work. His international break occurred in 2019 when he produced a song with a Lebanese producer. Soon afterward, he started getting recognition from International artists from different parts of the world including Sudan, Germany, and France. 

Teedeevee’s influences come from his life experiences, most of which are reflection of the obstacles and challenges he and other people from the African continent go through before becoming successful.  Teedeevee’s success has come from being "stubborn" and resilient in believing that he will achieve everything he has set his mind to, in spite of the challenges he faces along the way. Through his music, he is able to encourage other people to follow their hearts’ desires.  

Teedeevee is also an Attorney at Law. He graduated from the prestigious Faculty of Law at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and he’s admitted into the Largest Bar in Africa as a Barrister.

I’m proud that we are a family brand”. Just as the products themselves were based on herself, family and friends so is the brand’s playful tone of voice. Kadian fuses her Jamaican, African American and British cultures into the Brand’s identity.
