Combat, Recovery and Corporate America: The Omar Ritter Story

Описание: In this powerful episode of "Helping the Brave," host Ed Parcaut sits down with Army combat veteran, West Point graduate, and author Omar Ritter. Omar shares his inspiring journey from a multi-generational military family, through service as a Cavalry Scout, combat and leadership in Iraq, to overcoming a life-altering brain tumor diagnosis.

Omar openly discusses the realities of military transitions, mental health challenges, and the importance of seeking support—especially for veterans. He talks about his Bronze Star experience in the Battle of Samoa, the pivotal moment that led him to call for help, and how he turned his struggle with PTSD and recovery into advocacy for others.

Switching gears, Omar tells the story behind his book “West Point to Wall Street: My Journey to Mental Wellness,” and reveals the lessons learned from high-pressure investment banking, the drive for success, and ultimately building a new life as a financial consultant helping business owners.

Ed and Omar dig deep into the benefits veterans should pursue, like VA disability, and why it's crucial to drop the pride and get the help you deserve. They also highlight resources for veterans: community, networking, and the importance of reaching out—whether you served in combat or elsewhere.

Key topics include:
Military service, transition, and family legacy
Combat memories & leadership lessons from Iraq
Coping with brain injury, PTSD, and anxiety
How to navigate VA disability claims
The healing power of therapy and veteran support networks
Financial advice: Fractional CFO services and preparing businesses for the future
