On this episode of The Madison Podcast, Ben Lavender sits down with Omar Jones of Power Move Realty to share a story shaped by resilience, purpose, and relentless drive. From growing up without basic necessities to creating pathways for others to achieve homeownership and generational wealth, Omar’s journey is candid, insightful, and full of practical lessons for anyone ready to take ownership of their life.

This is a candid conversation about discipline, mindset, and accountability—showing that opportunity isn’t handed to you, it’s built by you.
