In this episode…
Reaching the pinnacle of success can leave you feeling indestructible, which can be a dangerous mindset. Notoriety takes a lifetime to build, but your reputation can be disassembled in moments. When hitting rock bottom, you can either choose to accept shame and embarrassment or make a conscious decision to change the narrative and move forward. How can you overcome adversity and progress in your gifts and abilities?
Marques Ogden, a former NFL player, was living the American Dream before declaring bankruptcy in 2013. After finding success as a C-suite executive for a construction company, he was confronted with his growing ego. Disregarding the guidance of peers and mentors, Marques chose a path that led to the foreclosure of his home, the repossession of two vehicles, and bankruptcy. Recognizing what he’d lost and realizing his strengths and abilities, he set out to help others become the best versions of themselves. His story of overcoming adversity inspires others who have found themselves in a similar position.

This is highly interesting and encouraging. Just from something to nothing and all of a sudden quickly woke up from slumber and regain himself. What a good idea and determination to succeed in life.
I like how Mr. Ogden, saw where he was at, changed his mind, and took action to move in a position direction. We all have issues and problems, once you’re there, the challenge or question is what is the way out?
