West Point to Wall Street: Discipline, Trauma, and Coming Back Artwork

The W.A.R. We’re All Recovering Podcast

W.A.R. – We’re All Recovering is a raw, unfiltered podcast hosted by Stryker & Fice.

At its core, W.A.R. is about survival, growth, and the real battles we all face—whether it’s mental health, addiction, trauma, or the daily grind of life.

Through open conversations, street-level honesty, and stories of resilience, Stryker & Fice shine light on what it truly means to recover—not just from the past, but into the future. This isn’t therapy talk. This is real talk with grit, humor, and heart.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting battles no one sees, you’re not alone. In W.A.R., we’re all recovering… together.

In this Christmas Special episode of W A R We’re All Recovering, host Stryker sits down with Omar Ritter, a decorated United States Army combat veteran, Bronze Star recipient, West Point graduate, Columbia MBA, author, motivational speaker, mental health advocate, and fractional CFO.

Omar shares his journey from West Point to combat in Iraq and Kosovo, the struggle with PTSD and trauma, the transition into leadership roles on Wall Street, and how discipline and recovery shaped his life and purpose. We dive deep into identity, vulnerability, silence, healing, leadership, resilience, and what it takes to come back stronger when life feels overwhelming.

If you are a veteran, caregiver, leader, or anyone quietly fighting your own war, this conversation will inspire you to rethink strength, embrace your recovery, and build something real.

It is W A R
