He was drafted in the 2003 by the Jaguars and went on to play with the Ravens, Bills, and Titans. While his NFL career ended in 2007, this was only the start of Marques\u2019 rollercoaster life story. After leaving the NFL, he started Kayden Premier Enterprises which grew to the largest minority owned subcontractor in the state of Maryland.\nLife was good until a bad business deal sent Marques\u2019 business spiraling into bankruptcy. Marques was left with $400 to his name. He swallowed his pride and the former NFL player and 8-figure business owner took a job as an overnight janitor making $8.25 an hour.\nAfter a rough ending to one of his shifts, Marques decided it was time to reinvent himself again but before he could do that, he needed to look back on his life choices and own the fact that his decisions, not someone else\u2019s actions, lead him to his current life situation.\nToday, Marques is two-time author, keynote speaker, executive coach, and corporate trainer.\nMarques\u2019 story is an inspiration and I hope to illustrate the power of accountability and ownership in this episode.\n\u00a0\nKey Takeaways:\n[2:06] Marques\u2019 relationship with his older brother Jonathan\n[4:55] Marques\u2019 route to the NFL\n[13:21] Marques' rough rebound after leaving the NFL\n[16:47] The rise and fall of Kayden Premier Enterprises\n[27:42] Taking responsibility for your actions\n\u00a0\nFavorite Quotes:\n[9:27] \u201cWow, I\u2019ve actually made it.
