Marques Ogden Biography

Marques Ogden is a former NFL player who is now the founder and CEO of Ogden Ventures LLC, an inspirational keynote speaker, three-time best-selling author ("Sleepless Nights"; "The Success Cycle"), business coach, and consultant. He is also the host of the podcast "Authenticity With Marques Ogden", although his journey didn’t come easily or without significant adversity.

After retiring from football, Ogden initially 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 dark hours and got a part-time job as a custodian. Through resilience and determination, Ogden rose to the top again, using his struggles as inspiration to forge a new path.

Ogden shares his powerful story to help others learn how to overcome obstacles and achieve success in their lives. His signature keynote, "The Ego Mistake: From Eight Figures to $8.25/hr," discusses his journey from financial success to hitting rock bottom and rebuilding his life. He covers a wide range of topics in his keynotes, including leadership, accountability, company culture, diversity & inclusion, and professional development. Ogden’s insights as a thought leader have been featured in top publications such as USA Today, Forbes, and Authority Magazine. As a sought-after speaker, he has engaged with over 40 Fortune 500 companies and various institutions, including Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard University. His podcast has showcased interviews with notable figures like Michael Strahan and Joe Namath.

Ogden aims to continue reaching new levels in his professional career and positively impacting as many people’s lives as possible through his speaking engagements, coaching, and writing.
