USAF Major (Ret.) Dr. Steven Ramos joins Rich LaMonica to share how his 28-year Air Force career—from U-2 pressure suit tech to elite jumpmaster & combat therapist—led to a new mission: saving veteran lives through mental health advocacy. Growing up in the Bronx, Steve dodged street violence and drugs by enlisting in 1993 as an E-1. His path led him to the skies over Afghanistan, 12 combat drops, and 2,000+ parachute jumps with the Wings of Blue. But it was his own battle with mental health and PTSD that redefined his calling. In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, Dr. Ramos dives into: ✔ How military toughness masks mental wounds ✔ The cost of silence around PTSD and addiction ✔ Why therapy isn’t weakness—it’s warfare against suicide ✔ His founding of More Life Center for Wellness in Florida, delivering 3,000+ wellness sessions in 2024 Dr. Ramos’ story is a beacon for anyone ready to lead with vulnerability, courage, and service—long after the uniform comes off.
