Marques Ogden and Eric Brooker on Counsel Culture

Eric Brooker sits down with former NFL player, keynote speaker, and bestselling author Marques Ogden for a raw conversation about ambition, collapse, accountability, and rebuilding from the ground up. Marques shares his journey from a multi-year NFL career to running a $20M construction company, losing everything, hitting rock bottom as a custodian earning $8.25 an hour, and rebuilding his life and career through discipline, relationships, and personal ownership. This is not a highlight reel. It’s a conversation about what happens after you “make it,” why people stall once they arrive, and what it actually takes to start over when pride, money, and identity are stripped away. In this episode, they discuss: • Life in the NFL and why staying there is harder than getting there • The danger of believing you’ve “arrived” • Alcoholism, depression, and identity loss after success • Losing a $20M business and owning failure without excuses • Hitting rock bottom and the mindset shift that followed • How relationship capital rebuilt a career from zero • Why coachability matters more than talent • Practical steps for climbing out of a low point • Authentic leadership and building the right team • The Four V’s framework: Visualize, Vocalize, Vote, Venture, and Victory Marques Ogden is a former NFL athlete, executive coach, keynote speaker, and four-time bestselling author whose work focuses on leadership, accountability, resilience, and sustainable success. If you’re navigating a setback, questioning your identity, or trying to rebuild momentum, this conversation will resonate.
