Welcome to Resilient Minds 365 where we discuss the resilient stories of entrepreneurs, professionals and students with mental illnesses to encourage you to strive, thrive, and live in abundance. I’m your host Cleoni Crawford. This week we have a special guest. We have Marques Ogden with us.

Marques Ogden was born and raised in Washington DC, graduated from Howard university with a degree in business finance and was drafted in the NFL in 2003.  Marques is currently an International Keynote Speaker, Executive Business Coach, Business Consultant and Best Selling Author.  After 5 years, he retired to pursue a career in construction and contracting. At 27, Marques founded Kayden Premier Enterprises and in 2010, Marques won The African American Subcontractor of the Year Award in the state of Maryland. Though he soon went bankrupt, losing almost 2 million dollars on one project in a matter of 90 days.  During his darkest hours, Marques 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 the success of others.
