#59 - From Jail, to NAVY Seal, Back to Jail, to French Foreign Legionnaire w/Taylor Cavanaugh
Manage episode 482735492 series 3553809
What happens when you lose everything that once defined you?
Former Navy SEAL Taylor Cavanaugh shares his raw, powerful journey from military elite to rock bottom — addiction, homelessness, and nearly ending his own life — before finding redemption in the most unexpected place: the French Foreign Legion.
With nothing but a backpack and a broken spirit, Taylor rebuilt his life from scratch, shedding titles, ego, and identity to rediscover purpose. Today, he's a coach, father, and man of faith helping others face their own battles.
This episode is more than a war story — it’s about what happens after the uniform comes off.
Redemption is real. Purpose is possible. And your identity is more than your past.
