#21 - Uzo Ometu & North Star Dreams

Uzo Ometu is currently the founder of BlackOakTV. His journey was almost as scripted as the shows and movies he works with. While spending years working at media and tech companies like ESPN, CBS, Morpheus Media, Google, and YouTube, he always knew he wanted to be one thing: The Black Rupert Murdoch. He has experience as a producer, researcher, technologist, small business owner and is a former journalist and failed athlete. His love for content, community, and conversations are at the heart of BlackOakTV, and everything else he does. 

In this conversation, Nicy and Uzo discuss the evolution of news after the 2016 election, the importance of having a North Star and the power of having big dreams.

What is One of a Kind Podcast with Nicy Duran?

The show where we explore the stories we tell ourselves and the moments that got us here.

Proudly contributing to a culture of connection.

"You know when you go to a party or a hangout with friends and you have a really good conversation with someone which wasn't small talk and you felt like you really got to know them? It gives you such a satisfying and fulfilling feeling of connection and humanity. That's what listening to this podcast is like! Also, it's funny."
