#130: The Ego mistake: 8 figures to $8.25 per hour | Marquez Ogden (Former NFL player)

Growing up in a single-parent home with a father that inspired perseverance and fairness, Marques Ogden learned how to define his values and set goals. Marquez attended Howard University from 1998-2002 where he played Division I football. He then followed his dream and his brother Jonathan’s footsteps, eventually getting drafted into the NFL in 2003. Overall, he played for 5 years as an offensive lineman with the Titans, Bills, Ravens, and Jaguars. Even during the off-season, Ogden helped train football players in Europe, both physically and mentally.

Marquez is now a best-selling author, highly sought-after speaker, and coach, as well as the host of the highly successful podcast "Get Authentic".
