Choosing your attitude in adversity (with Marques Ogden)

In this episode of Shift, I chat with Marques Ogden - International Keynote Speaker, Business Coach, Former NFL Player, Author, Podcast Host of “The Get Authentic With Marques Show” - on how to stay true to yourself among adversity and life's ups and downs.   He shares his story as a former NFL player and business owner who went from 8 figures to $8.25/hour by not accepting responsibility for his role in failing in his first entrepreneurial venture.   About Marques: 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. Ogden 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.   _____  In his podcast, each week, he interviews amazing people who've achieved the success they've always aspired to achieve by overcoming obstacles and adversities that stood in their path!
