Dude. I love Taylor and his redemption arc. So glad you had him on. 20 years clean, now, and I respect the guys who can admit their faults and talk about how they have grown. Lou, and now, Taylor. You are killin it, my man!

[@Strings-jg2to]

I joined the Marines because of 9/11. Went to Iraq. After we got back I tested hot on a UA. Got kicked out. Worst decision of my life.

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

14 yrs sober now, 23 yrs clean and am a reservist/contractor with responsibilities for fuel ⛽️ systems all over Europe. Just saying if you want to change you can change. But you HAVE to DO THE WORK.

I’m right there with you. It’s good to hear these redemption arcs.. I’ve struggled with addiction for 20 years. And I’m finally getting sober after my addiction pretty much took everything I value, including my morals away from me and now I’m rebuilding. This was definitely an interview. I needed to hear.

[@YeseniaV92]

TCav is the ultimate, and this might be my favorite interview with him yet. As a SEAL, interviewers usually want to talk to him about a lot of serious military stuff. But he's actually funny af with an awesome personality, and you really brought that side out of him like I don't think any interviewer has done yet. Looking forward to you having him on again soon! 🇺🇸

[@ianwhipple8842]

I really like how genuine this guy is… I myself had to have a conduct waiver when I joined at 17. Never let a recruiter tell you they can’t take you, unless you have a really f’d up background report and you were CONVICTED, if there is a will there is a way.

[@JoshuaBunkowske]

And what happened?

[@microgers206]

TCAV helped me when I was kicking my fentanyl addiction. Love him and follow him daily. Thanks Cav

[@ChiTownGuerrilla]

If you have a friend like this you are very lucky! One of the most genuine men I think I've ever seen on KZbin. No boasting/embellishing, no BS exaggerated stories about killing people. Doesn't act like he's the toughest man on earth because he's a SEAL, like a lot of SF guys think they are sadly. He just keeps it one hundred percent real.

[@526Spartan]

Let Taylor know that Lt. Commander Fuller is super proud of him! He was my mentor too when I was boat crew leader during my time in DEP out of Las Vegas. I was unfortunately med dropped (SIPE) in class 273, but got hooked up with a shot at Rescue Swimmer School by the instructors. I ended up making through and did that for the rest of my active duty time in the Navy! I’ve been watching Taylor since he started posting while he was still in the legion, and his advice got me through a pretty rough patch I was going through at the time. So, I’m absolutely thrilled to see him doing so well, and hopefully Michael Bay decides to hit him up for a movie about his entire inspirational life journey🎉!

[@TheChaz81]

Hey man! I was on a 3 letter a team out there with a Navy Rescue Swimmer Carlos Herrera!

I listened to every last second of this. I hope Taylor gets every thing he wants to out of life. 💙💙

[@Rubeless]

Marcus Luttrel quit on his teammates. But generally speaking, you are correct.

[@Moto-Hobo]

This is incredibly inspiring! I've always learned so much from guys like Taylor. I don't know why this particular lesson resonated so deeply, but I've hit rock bottom more than once and always managed to pull myself back up. I'm one year sober October31st, and I'm determined to keep going. Taylor, you should definitely make a movie about your journey. It would be incredible! I completely agree that the universe only respects drastic action. Your words have lit a fire under me. I'm ready to give 200%. I've heard a Navy SEAL motto about only being at 40% when you feel like giving up. I don't know if it's true, but it's something I live by now. I've got 60% left to give!

[@mrfake675]

This guy reminds me of me in high school. At 15 I sold weed,paid my own rent and lived in the bars and hit many a strip club while still in high school. I.ived right next to Ohio State and had a fake ID. Did the whole arrest thing too. Went different directions after high school. But I even joined the military but got a less than honorable for selling M16s.

I'm glad he touched on the poverty in other countries. Americans have no idea. If you are homeless in America and ask anyone for food, 9 times out of ten someone will give you cash or get you food. Try poverty when there are literally no resources anywhere. The person you ask for food has no food either so on and so forth.
