In the premiere episode of Pillars of Progress, we sit down with Dana Murray — acclaimed musician, producer, and the visionary Founder and Executive Director of North Omaha Music and Arts (NOMA). Dana shares his journey from professional drummer to community leader, and how NOMA is using music, art, and education to empower youth, elevate talent, and transform lives in North Omaha. This conversation dives into the power of creative expression, the importance of representation in the arts, and how investing in people can lead to meaningful progress. Dana's passion and purpose set the tone for what this podcast is all about — spotlighting those who build stronger communities from the ground up. Powered by MCL Construction.
