In celebration we bring you a special Podcast TakeOver episode from our friend Wyatt Spalding as he interviews Daniel on his Brave In The Attempt Podcast: Daniel is known for his successful podcast (you'll listening to right now). He was a former Sargent Shriver Global Messenger for Special Olympics North America region. Daniel talks about how his teacher convinced him to participate in Special Olympics. Daniel struggled with communicating so he turned it to a strength by starting his own podcast. Daniel shares what he's learned through his journey of podcasting and the impact its made on his life as well as others. Daniel shares his thoughts on Inclusive Health and becoming a Special Olympics Health Messenger and said "If it wasn't got Special Olympics, I wouldn't be able to focus on my health." Daniel shares his experiences speaking at Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023. Daniel has made a huge impact on not just athletes but all people involved in the Special Olympics Movement. Athletes like Daniel is why Special Olympics continue to rise.
