I'm a 21 year-old student athlete at UC Berkeley. I am going into my redshirt junior year and have started at right tackle for the past two years for Cal Football. I have a ton of interests and one day want to have a career surrounding one of them. In Sooo Stignatious!, the podcast where the name is made up but the people are real, I talk to people that have specific passions and have taken action towards making them part of their everyday lives.

    Ken Montgomery: Purveyor of Positivity and Public Relations

    Ken Montgomery has had no run-of-the-mill life. Ken grew up in Bay Area and found his way to Tulane for a year of college before the price sent him back to the Bay Area. After some junior college and work experience, Ken enrolled at UC Berkeley. Once again, Ken dropped out (in good standing) to enter the workforce. Ken found a love of Public Relations and after a few PR jobs ended up as the VP of Global Brand and Engagement for Persistent Systems, a 10,000 person company headquartered in India. Recently, Ken decided to go back and finish his degree and has just graduated from UC Berkeley 25 years after initial enrollment. I hope you all enjoy Ken's stignatious attitude as much as I do!

Since then Isaac has founded his own company called Inform and Inspire where he is hired as a keynote speaker at events or in corporate settings to talk to employees.
