"From Darkness to Purpose: A Veteran’s Journey Through Pain, Poetry, and Healing"

In this powerful episode of The Social Plug Podcast, Johnny Martinez sits down with Antonio Santana, a military veteran, poet, husband, and father of three daughters who faced the ultimate battle—not on the battlefield, but within himself. After surviving a su***de attempt, he chose to use his pain as a platform for healing, helping others in the community confront their mental health struggles with honesty, hope, and poetry.

Tune in as he shares his raw story of survival, the role his family played in his healing, and how writing became his weapon of choice. If you’ve ever faced darkness—or love someone who has—this episode will remind you that light is still possible.

Antonio leads Frontline Strong Nonprofit Organization which helps veterans and others with resources and support services

NEW EPISODE ALERT 🎙️🎧

In this intriguing episode, we take a deep dive into the mind of Mike Vasquez who is an Army veteran, a retired firefighter, a commercial Realtor/Broker, community leader, and dad & husband. We discuss various topics including the infrastructure in San Antonio TX and how there could be things that can help the city and it's citizens. We discuss the moniker of "Military City USA" and if the city is doing enough to celebrate it's Veterans and more scenario-based conversations.

We explore his journey in the Army and how challenges and situations changed the trajectory of his life and changed his perspective on life and existence. His time as a firefighter was eventful and fulfilling but it lead him to see the bigger picture for him and his family. Having mental freedom became the most important thing in his life and enabled him to pivot to commercial real estate which he flourishes at now. He's constantly facing pressure which has become a part of his brand and strategy. Don't miss out on this banger of an episode!
