Marques Ogden: From Rock Bottom to the Bison Mindset, Building Authentic Leadership and Purpose Overview In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, host Julie Riga sits down with Marques Ogden, former NFL offensive lineman, keynote speaker, author, business coach, and host of the Get Authentic with Marques Ogden Podcast. Marques shares his journey from professional football through the collapse of a multimillion dollar construction company, addiction, and a rock bottom moment that redefined his purpose. Together, Julie and Marques explore leadership, resilience, self awareness, and what it truly means to build authentic growth after adversity. This conversation offers real ingredients for success for anyone rebuilding after hardship.

Julie Riga has spent years in the trenches as a leadership coach, entrepreneur, and author, and she knows a secret: the path to success is often cluttered with internal roadblocks. In her Stay On Course: Ingredients for Success podcast, she moves beyond surface-level advice to explore the real, often unspoken, ingredients that sustain leaders. Each conversation is built for those who are outwardly accomplished-CEOs, managers, or driven entrepreneurs-but who sometimes wrestle privately with doubts about their direction, their decisions, or their ability to truly lead. Julie brings a certified coach's perspective to these universal challenges, dissecting the mindset shifts and practical frameworks that create lasting confidence and control. You'll hear honest discussions about transitioning from a hands-on operator to an inspirational leader, managing the weight of responsibility, and cultivating a vision that feels both ambitious and authentic. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about building a resilient foundation for your career and ventures. Tune in for a blend of personal reflection, actionable strategies, and the kind of clarity that helps high-achievers not just reach their goals, but enjoy the journey there. The entire archive of this podcast offers a deep resource for anyone committed to growing their influence and impact in business and beyond.
