A proposito di questo titolo

Success can teach us valuable lessons—but sometimes, it's failure that truly transforms us. In this raw and eye-opening episode of Keep On Pushing Stories, three-time Olympian and motivational speaker Devon Harris sits down with Marques Ogden, a former NFL player turned entrepreneur whose story is a powerful reminder that true leadership begins with humility, accountability, and self-awareness. After retiring from football, Marques built Baltimore's largest African American-owned construction company. His success skyrocketed—but so did his ego. He mistreated employees, pushed away his best talent, and ignored the warning signs. Then, just two days before Christmas, everything fell apart—his bank pulled his line of credit after he overspent a project by more than $3 million, leaving him bankrupt and struggling to stay afloat. Once the owner of a multimillion-dollar business, Marques suddenly found himself working the graveyard shift as a custodian for $8.23 an hour, just to support his family. Even then, he refused to take ownership, pointing fingers instead of looking in the mirror. His real transformation began when he stopped making excuses and took full responsibility. He learned to subordinate his ego, trust and empower others, and lead with empathy—an approach he now calls dynamic insubordination. By embracing humility, service, and self-reflection, Marques rebuilt his life and discovered that true power comes from owning your choices. If you've ever faced setbacks, struggled with ego, or found it difficult to take accountability, this episode is for you. Join Devon and Marques for a candid, inspiring conversation on learning from failure, leading with integrity, and reclaiming your personal power. Tune in to Own Your Choices, Own Your Power and discover how embracing responsibility can unlock your greatest potential. #KeepOnPushing #OwnYourPower #Accountability #Leadership #Resilience #LearnFromFailure
