Elevate Your Game. Lead With Purpose. DOMINATE YOUR SPACE.

Dynamic tools and strategies designed to help athletes, entrepreneurs, and business leaders unlock personal innovation to separate themselves from the competition

I’m Marques Colston — I help athletes, entrepreneurs, and business leaders unlock personal innovation that helps them achieve sustained business success.

Over the past 15+ years, I've navigated roles as an NFL star, entrepreneur, partner, and consultant across various industries. The journey has been anything but linear.

Each new role and level demanded something different. To find a competitive edge in each new chapter, I relied on Self Scouting, a self discovery and goal setting framework that helped me identify strategic areas to invest in personal growth and development in order to drive performance.

I created Separation Playbook to share Self Scouting and other personal development tools with athletes, entrepreneurs, and business leaders looking to Create Separation and stand out from the competition.
