About the guest:

In 2003, Marques Ogden was drafted into the NFL as an offensive lineman. After 5 years of playing in league, he decided to retire and pursue a career in construction and contracting.  At the age of 27, Marques founded a construction company called Kayden Premier Enterprises. The company experienced rapid 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, Marques pulled himself together, got a part-time job as a custodian, and, with hard work and determination, he became an inspirational keynote speaker, executive coach, best-selling author and marketing leader, helping to build the success of others.
