Taylor Cavanaugh is the only known person to be a Navy SEAL, and also join the French Foreign Legion. His story is unique, but the man himself has always been a Main Character, and we're excited to bring you this conversation.

Growing up in San Diego, Taylor Cavanough has been walking the line between 2 worlds and living a life of extremities even as a youth. In this episode we dive into some of his backstory, growing up around strip clubs, and doing steroids on trips to Mexico before football practice, all before he was even able to drive.

Stepping away from that life and choosing a new path for himself, Taylor turned towards the military, but was denied at every branch except the Navy due to tattoos and having too many misdemeanors stacked up.

Taylor has an amazing story and has been on a lot of podcasts sharing his perspective, but this is a fun episode where we get to hear some stories that he’s never told in public before, as well as a few from the rest of the Liberty Risk crew.

Here are a few highlights that we get into:

•  The pros & cons of steroid use, when it’s helpful and when it’s not - note: Taylor was never on any PED’s during selection courses for either SEALs or French Foreign Legion.

•  Hydro recons around the world and why they suck.

•  When to evade trouble, and when to face the music.

•  Sometimes it helps to have a spare 🍆.

•  How perspective changes as you get older, and the weight of leadership responsibility.

•  The power and freedom of understanding your weaknesses.

•  A couple bar fight stories, some wins, some losses, and how Kevin lost his tooth.

•  The crew discusses tattoo culture: what’s lame, what’s cool, and why you can’t "tattoo yourself tough”.

•  Riding the edge, and having a fall back plan. Playig it smart.

•  A French Foreign Legion party story in a strange small town - A la village! “To the village!” ❄️

•  A discussion on how life looks as an older man, seeing life differently through each decade, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s.

•  The importance of having a mission and purpose in life, especially guys coming from a military background, and how you can feel lost without it.

Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy this episode!
