Re-Air: Can You Rebuild After Losing Everything? Marques Ogden Did—Here’s How

In this re-aired episode of Insurance Town, the Mayor sits down with former NFL player turned inspirational speaker and business coach, Marcus Ogden. This is one of our most powerful and motivating conversations, and we wanted to bring it back for those who missed it—or need to hear it again.

Marcus shares his incredible journey from playing in the NFL to hitting rock bottom, working as a custodian for $8/hour, and ultimately rising again to become a highly sought-after speaker and leadership coach. His story is raw, real, and absolutely packed with lessons for agency owners, producers, and anyone striving to lead with purpose.

🔥 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What Marcus learned from legendary NFL coaches like Jack Del Rio and Jeff Fisher
• The “PIVOT” mindset and how it applies directly to the insurance industry
• His rock-bottom moment—and how it became the fuel for his next chapter
• Why ego can be your downfall, and how humility and character build lasting trust
• Practical leadership advice that applies whether you're in the back office or the corner office
