Welcome back, my friends! Today, I’m beyond excited to kick off a new season of Success Through Connections with an absolute powerhouse guest—none other than former NFL player Marques Ogden. From the football field to business highs and devastating lows, Marques’s journey is packed with lessons on resilience, authenticity, and the relentless pursuit of success, even when life knocks you down.

In this episode, Marques opens up like never before. We dive into his days in the NFL, what it was like being mentored by his Hall of Famer brother, Jonathan Ogden, and the hard truth about what happens when fame fades. Marques shares his raw, unfiltered story of losing it all—his business, his finances, and even his sense of purpose—and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up.

You’ll hear about Marques’s rock-bottom moment, his struggles with alcohol, and a life-changing experience that flipped the script for him. His honesty about ego, business failure, and the journey to authenticity will resonate deeply with anyone who's ever faced a challenge head-on.
