On this special Veteran’s Day edition of the Lean to the Left Podcast, host Bob Gatty welcomes Steve Miller, President and CEO of Wellness for Veterans.org. A former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, Steve has dedicated his life to helping veterans access the benefits they’ve earned — from healthcare to housing and education.
In this inspiring conversation, Steve shares how his own battles with the VA system motivated him to create a nonprofit that’s helped more than 600 veterans secure millions in benefits. He discusses:
• The challenges veterans face navigating complex systems
• Hidden benefits that too many veterans overlook
• How government shutdowns and politics impact military families
• Why voting and advocacy are essential for change
This Veteran’s Day, we honor those who’ve served — and those, like Steve Miller, who continue fighting for them.
