We've got another Rosa on the show! In this episode, we have my cousin and UFC fighter Charles Rosa. After losing two of his brothers to drug overdoses, Charles struggled to find exactly what he wanted to do with his life. The one thing he always knew was that he never wanted to work a normal 9-5 job. He first tried out becoming a chef after going to culinary school at Johnson & Wales. Although he enjoyed it, it wasn't something he could see himself doing for the rest of his life. Then, he found fighting and the rest is history.
