    Lateesha “The Honey Badger” Mohl - Professional MMA Fighter/Fight, Focus, Fearless - Ep.171

    Episode 171: of the American Grown Podcast in the Colortech Creative Solutions studios with Lateesha “The Honey Badger” Mohl Professional MMA Fighter. In this episode, we sit down with Lateesha "The Honey Badger” Mohl, Professional MMA Fighter. She's a multi-discipline striker who began her amateur journey in 2016, turned pro in boxing in 2021, and has since stepped into the worlds of kickboxing and MMA. Highly recommended by Christian “Strictly Business” Carr (Episode 43), Lateesha opens up about the mental and physical demands of a fighting career — from brutal training camps and weight cuts to the discipline required to evolve across multiple combat sports. Beyond the cage, Lateesha shares what it’s been like balancing life as a newlywed (married October 2025), graduating college in 2023 with a degree in respiratory therapy, and adopting a deaf dog — whom she taught sign language. Her story is one of resilience, adaptability, and heart. This episode is about more than fighting — it’s about building strength in every area of life and chasing growth with fearless intention.
