Hosted by retired Army veteran, leadership coach, and author Jeremiah Hardy, this podcast brings together solo episodes and real-talk interviews with leaders, veterans, entrepreneurs, and high performers who’ve battled through adversity and kept going.

What happens when military leadership, trauma, resilience, and purpose collide?
On this powerful episode of Speak Up. Show Up. Lead., JJ Hardy sits down with retired U.S. Army SFC William “Stevo” Stephens Jr. — combat veteran, award-winning author, leadership mentor, and host of the Crawl Walk Run Podcast.

⚔️ Transitioning from the military to civilian life
⚔️ Why real leaders coach, teach, and mentor
⚔️ Mental health, resilience, and accountability
⚔️ The power of storytelling and authentic leadership
Stevo shares raw truths from combat, Walter Reed recovery, government service, fatherhood, mentorship, and the lessons behind his award-winning Reflection Series books. No fluff. No fake motivation. Just real conversations for leaders fighting battles nobody else sees.
