From Rock Bottom to Relentless: The Only Navy SEAL Turned French Foreign Legionnaire | Ep. 205
Episode description
Taylor Cavanaugh's life reads like a movie script: from jail, to Navy SEAL, back to jail, homeless and suicidal… then straight into the elite and brutal ranks of the French Foreign Legion.
Now the only man known to have served in both elite forces, Taylor shares how he found purpose through pain, forged peace through discipline, and turned destruction into a deliberate life.

- The power of daily discipline
