What does real healing look like after losing everything—your identity, your money, and your sense of self?

In this powerful episode of Tactical Harmony, Rebecca Fitzsimmons sits down with former NFL player, five-time bestselling author, and keynote speaker Marques Ogden to unpack what it truly takes to heal, rebuild, and rise after rock bottom.

Marques shares his raw journey from the NFL to building a multimillion-dollar construction company, only to lose nearly $2 million in 90 days, declare bankruptcy, and start over as a custodian. This conversation goes far beyond success stories. It dives into ego death, identity rupture, emotional healing, self-worth without titles, and rebuilding from failure when everything familiar disappears.

Together, Rebecca and Marques explore:

• How rock bottom can become the foundation for true healing and growth
• The difference between confidence, pride, and ego and why ego collapse is often necessary
• Healing after career loss, financial failure, and identity breakdown
• Why mindset reprogramming is essential after trauma and adversity
• How self-talk, self-leadership, and self-care prevent burnout and relapse
• Why success without humility leads to collapse and how to rebuild with integrity
• The bison mindset: charging directly into the storm instead of avoiding pain

This episode is especially impactful for high performers, leaders, athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating burnout, career transitions, emotional healing, or loss of identity. Marques delivers hard-earned wisdom on resilience, legacy, and learning how to fail forward without losing yourself.

If you’re searching for healing after failure, overcoming adversity, rebuilding self-worth, leadership mindset, emotional resilience, or purpose after burnout, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and challenge you to rise.

Listen now and learn why your current circumstance does not define your future and how true power begins with self-leadership.

What if the moment that nearly ended your life became the moment that transformed how you lead?

In this powerful episode of Tactical Harmony, former NCIS Executive Assistant Director Kurt Thomas shares the near-death experience that reshaped his mindset, leadership style, and legacy.

With over 31 years of service as an NCIS Special Agent and senior executive, Kurt led high-risk missions across Iraq, Afghanistan, and global counterterrorism environments. But it wasn’t rank or titles that changed him, it was a hospital bed, a promise to God, and a realization about how leaders truly impact others.

Rebecca Fitzsimmons and Kurt Thomas dive deep into outward mindset leadership, resilience under pressure, culture by design (not default), self-mastery, and why people remember how you lead—not what you achieve.

This episode is a masterclass for leaders, first responders, executives, and anyone serious about impact, legacy, and leading with humanity when it matters most.
