Summary
Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Taylor Cavanaugh, a former United States Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire.
Taylor’s journey is one of incredible highs and devastating lows. After earning his SEAL Trident, he found himself losing control. When his time in the military ended he found himself battling addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts. He nearly ended his life before he threw up a Hail Mary and made a bold move: joining the French Foreign Legion. It was there that he found the discipline and clarity to rebuild his life.
Taylor opens up about the road that led him to the SEALs, the mistakes that got him kicked out of the U.S. military, and how the Legion ultimately became his path to redemption.
