Thank you, Leslie Vickrey, for making today's episode possible!
Today, I had the opportunity to talk with Marques Ogden, a former NFL player turned speaker and executive coach, who opens up about his incredible journey of resilience and transformation. From growing up in a single-parent home to navigating life post-divorce, Marques reveals how his experiences have shaped his leadership skills and approach to fatherhood. We celebrate the joys of being present with our children and the profound impact of nurturing their growth and milestones, which have become the cornerstones of our lives.
We delve into the significance of self-respect, mutual respect in relationships, and prioritizing education over other pursuits. Through personal reflections, we discuss how our fathers instilled these values and how we pass them on to our children, even amidst challenging circumstances such as divorce. Marques shares his personal story of overcoming financial ruin and rediscovering his talent for communication, offering insights into building self-belief and betting on oneself.
Engaging conversations unfold as we explore privilege, diversity, and the lessons learned from pivotal moments, like those shared with Dale Favors during the social unrest of 2020. We wrap up with a heartfelt look at fatherhood, gratitude, and the essence of parenting, celebrating the simple yet meaningful moments that enrich our lives as dads.
