    Welcome back to Keepin It Rio. Episode 258 features a great Guest. William A. Stephens Jr. (“Stevo”) is a retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class, six-time award-winning author, podcast host, and mental health advocate. As the founder of Story Tyme with Stevo and host of the Crawl Walk Run Podcast, he focuses on veteran transition, leadership, mental health awareness, and giving a voice to those struggling in silence.

    Stevo is the author of the Reflection Series — The Mirror: Black Edition, The Broken Mirror, and No Filter — books centered on trauma, resilience, military transition, and personal growth. His work has received multiple literary and mental health advocacy awards, including the International Impact Book Award, Literary Titan Awards, and Readers’ Choice recognition.

    Beyond writing and podcasting, Stevo actively advocates for veterans, first responders, and individuals dealing with PTSD, isolation, and suicide awareness. Through speaking engagements, podcasts, and daily outreach, his mission remains simple: helping others realize they are not alone and proving that even in darkness, people can still find purpose, healing, and their voice again.
