About this episode
Cpl. Ryan Garza shares his incredible journey as a Marine and his experiences overcoming injuries from IED attacks.
Today, we have Cpl. Ryan Garza, USMC (Ret) joining us to tell his absolutely incredible story through his years as a Marine. Cpl. Garza was hit twice by IED attacks, and substantially injured his right leg from the blast. During our conversation, you'll hear how he became a mine sweeper in Afghanistan for the Marine Corps and how he found comfort after returning home. Ryan completed a 14er mountain climb and showed us that nothing can stop a dedicated person. There's a documentary called "What's your Everest?" that you can find here courtesy of No Barriers USA and Ryan Garza. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tty480TpOnc Thank you for joining me today, and thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country.
