The Michael Caz Podcast Take Risks, Overcome Challenges and Follow Your Passion with Mitch and Garrett Holeve - Ep. 118
My guests today are Mitch and Garrett Holeve. Garrett is a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter who was born with Down Syndrome. In this show, we tell his story of overcoming challenges and following his passion. Throughout the show you'll hear him use the "D" word — he doesn't use the term Down Syndrome because he doesn't let it define him. He has transformed his life into much more, and I hope you find this conversation as inspiring as I did. Enjoy the show!
