“A wounded warrior’s road to healing and helping others”

In this powerful episode 35 of Men Pursuing More, we sit down with wounded combat veteran Steve Otero, whose journey from Houston, Texas, to the frontlines of war, and back again, is marked by grit, faith, healing, and purpose. Steve opens up about his early life in Houston—navigating the challenges of his parents’ divorce, finding peace in camping trips, and even running away during a difficult season. His decision to enlist after high school led him into the unique role of a combat photographer in the U.S. Air Force, where he was embedded with combat units and captured powerful images under fire during deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Steve shares raw insight into his battles with PTSD, the breakthrough moments in treatment, and the physical challenges he faced. Now a podcast host himself, Steve uses his voice and story to empower others battling invisible wounds and striving for growth. This episode is a testament to redemption, resilience, and the journey of becoming more.
