The Level UP Podcast was started during the COVID Pandemic and has continued on to today. Our guest in this episode, coming from an L.A. upbringing, talks about how he got "kidnapped" into staying in Denver. Mr. Omar Montgomery is a former mayoral candidate, discusses what he would have done if elected Mayor of Aurora. You can hope to learn from him how to manage your time effectively when you wear multiple hats as well as how to be positive in the midst of negative situations. Montgomery leads the Aurora Chapter of the NAACP as President, a position which he has held for years. Additionally, he serves as a teacher and community organizer. With Mr. Montgomery of the NAACP, we traverse different avenues of what it means to be invested in one's community. More in depth, Montgomery was able to outline some different ways the organization went about uplifting others during a global pandemic. He goes on to cover how his former political background would've forwarded his current goals regarding a disparity study on government contracting and how it is being addressed in Aurora. Professor Lynn Wilson and Dr. Jamal Bowen guide the discussion towards the affect we can have on the future by influencing others to invest accordingly.
