    “Faith-driven leadership, resilience, lifelong mentorship, and a passion for empowering others”

    In episode 10 of Men Pursuing More, Omar McMillan shares his inspiring journey of resilience, faith, and leadership. Growing up in Milwaukee, Omar experienced both challenges and triumphs that shaped his character. From enduring 40-minute city bus rides to high school and living in low-income housing to the pride of his family owning the neighborhood’s first color TV, his childhood was marked by perseverance. When his stepfather passed away from cancer, Omar stepped into a fatherly role to help his family, guided by the unwavering faith and strength of his God-fearing mother, who instilled in him the importance of trusting in God. Initially aspiring to a medical career, he discovered his true calling after a coach recognized his potential to excel as a teacher and coach.

    Omar shares his deep appreciation for the mentorship of his former coaches and the enduring relationships he maintains with them, highlighting how their influence shaped his life. He reflects on his transition to the Twin Cities, building a family, and his impactful career as a teacher and coach—from high school and AAU basketball to coaching women’s basketball at Minneapolis Technical Community College and leading Richfield High School as the head boys' coach.
