Today\\u2019s guest, Marques Ogden, is truly larger than life! But getting lighter, and you\\u2019ll have to hear how in this conversation I had with this 5 year NFL veteran who is currently a leadership and motivational speaker throughout the US.

\\u201cI ended up working for $8.25 on the graveyard shift with a janitorial staff. That is when I decided that something had to change\\u2026 this was my life-changing moment.\\u201d

I met Marques at his Leadership Academy in Las Vegas a few months ago. I was drawn to the infectious enthusiasm that he has for helping others reach their fullest potential, something I am a big fan of! You will hear his great story from rise, to fall, and rise again, sprinkled in with lots of laughs.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s about giving your clients teaching points, nuggets, information, strategies to make them better. Not to motivate them... Motivation is garbage, because it only lasts for a certain amount of time. It\\u2019s about inspiring them for the long-haul.\\u201d

This episode will provide you with rich, practical advice to overcome your own obstacles. Both Marques and I draw from our own experiences, and share our knowledge on pushing through failure and finding success in inspiring others. Make sure to give it a listen!
