Ep. 10 - Scoring Success in Entrepreneurship and Family Life Post-NFL with Marques Ogden

Food, Family, & Philanthropy

Have you ever wondered how a titan on the football field adjusts to life after the final whistle? Marques Ogden, ex-NFL star, joins me to narrate his gripping tale of resilience, transitioning from the adrenaline of professional sports to the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. We kick off our conversation with a hearty discussion about the evolution of Marques's career, touching on the staggering highs and humbling lows—from constructing a business empire to confronting bankruptcy, and his remarkable rebound.
As we swap stories of podcasting and the joy of culinary creations, Marques takes us back to his NFL days with a jaw-dropping 12,000-calorie daily diet and brings us to his current love affair with seafood, particularly scallops. We also tackle the invigorating rivalries and unforgettable moments in sports history, with personal insights from my own journey as an athlete and coach. Marques and I reflect on the lessons learned from challenging competition and the relentless pursuit of excellence, celebrating figures like Lamar Jackson who set the bar high for aspiring champions.
Nearing the end of our time together, Marques and I delve into the profound role of family and the impact of philanthropy, sharing our personal experiences of being present for our children's milestones. We underscore the essence of supporting their dreams, whether on the basketball court or the stage. It's a heart-to-heart exchange that offers a glimpse into the power of family bonds and the importance of giving back to the community. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share this enriching conversation and invite you to join us, as we explore the remarkable journey of an athlete who has mastered the art of transformation, and the enduring values that unite us all.
