"Wounded in War, Strengthened by Brotherhood"

In this powerful episode of Men Pursuing More, we sit down with U.S. Air Force veteran Chris Aguilera to hear his remarkable journey from growing up in El Paso to surviving a helicopter crash in 2010 that left him in a medically induced coma. Chris opens up about the challenges he faced during multiple deployments, his long recovery that included over 30 surgeries, and learning to live with a prosthetic leg. He shares his battles with PTSD, his determination to remain in the military despite a dead foot, and how he found purpose again through running a half marathon, competing in the Warrior and Invictus Games, and working with Homes for Our Troops. Chris’s story is one of resilience, grit, and refusing to let adversity define him. Tune in to be inspired by a warrior who never stopped pursuing more.

“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.
