About Marques

Marques Ogden is a former NFL player turned inspirational keynote speaker. He's also the founder and CEO of Ogden Ventures LLC, best-selling author, business coach and consultant and the podcast host of Authenticity With Marques Ogden; 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, through his podcast and speaking engagements with companies like Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Intel, JPMorgan Chase and Home Depot, he shares his powerful story to help others learn how to fail forward and achieve success in their lives.
