Adventures in Adversity: an inspirational podcast
Ep. 33: Blinded in combat, unstoppable in life - US Army Veteran Steve Baskis’ story
29 Jan 2025
In this episode, I share an inspirational story about veteran Steve Baskis, a US military veteran who lost his sight due to a roadside bomb in Baghdad. Despite the challenges he faces, Steve has adopted a positive perspective and has since become an advocate for adaptive sports, helping others with disabilities find their paths to resilience and adventure. In about 9 minutes, I read a blog post about Steve from 2014 which talks about lessons we can learn from his arduous journey...a reminder about the importance of facing adversity with courage and determination.Thank a Veteran for his or her service today!Follow Steve on InstagramVisit Steve's YouTube channelConnect with Steve on LinkedInCheck out Steve's Podcast, Baskis 360Learn about Blind Endeavors, Steve's foundation
