On this episode of theDailyBrag, we talk with Marques Ogden, who was drafted to the National Football League in 2003, where he is  still to this day the only offensive of Lineman ever drafted from Howard University. Marques got drafted to the Jacksonville, but also played for Baltimore, Buffalo, and finished up his career in Tennessee with the Titans. 

After almost 6 years in the NFL Marques retired from the game and fell into a deep depression,  and got into gambling and alcoholism that lasted about 6 momths. Once he was able to pick himself up,  he pursued a career in construction and contracting, where at the age of 27, Marques founded Kayden Premier Enterprises and won the African American Subcontractor of the Year Award in the state of Maryland. Shortly after he went bankrupt, losing almost 2 million dollars on one project in a matter of 90 days.

During his darkest hours, Marques pulled himself together again, 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, focused on helping others build success.

We found his extreme humbleness and honesty incredibly inspirational.

We recommed you purchase Marques's book "The Success Cycle" available on Amazon
