- Careers
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 early on in life. He attended Howard University where he played Division I football. Marques then followed his dream and his older brother Jonathan’s footsteps, eventually getting drafted into the NFL in 2003. Overall, he played for five years as an offensive lineman with the Titans, Bills, Ravens, and Jaguars. Following his NFL career Marques started Kayden Premier Enterprises, a construction company in 2007 which quickly escalated to being a multi-million dollar construction business. In 2013 it all crashed down around him when he got involved with a bad business deal, and ended up losing everything. Marques finally figured out he had a chance to create second career and became a speaker to help others succeed where he failed. As a keynote speaker and corporate trainer, his passion is to create value for every client. His list of clients include AXA Advisors, The Home Depot and JP Morgan, to name a few.
Deepali's interview with Marques sheds light on the realities of life after football - the good and the bad. Marques’ remarkable ability to overcome adversity and hold himself accountable shows true strength and humility. Deepali talks to Marques about his journey to relaunch a Career 2.0.
In her rapid fire "Ask the Recruiter" segment, Deepali answers questions on post-interview follow ups and how to deal with interview rejection.
