"You cannot get healthy in the same place that makes you sick"..wow, words to live by. Keep it up.

"Action alleviates anxiety"...probably one of the most useful, powerful, and profound statements I've ever heard.

This is the first interview video in YEARS that I actually sat all the way through THE FIRST TIME.

My cousin did 30 years in the legion. Disappeared when he was 19, the French embassy wouldn't tell his parents anything, then sent them a postcard from Corsica after six months. Travelled around the world, became an instructor, ended up being busted from sergeant to corporal for sleeping with his CO's wife. Now retired in the French countryside on a full pension.

Favorite quote so far,”if you feel like it’s the happiest you’ve ever been, be very careful.”

Drugs and alcohol have been this dudes down fall everytime. He stays sober he will accomplish anything he puts his mind to

The dude both makes me feel inspired and thankful that My parents protected me from some of the struggles he had.

The man is a gifted communicator/storyteller. It’s such a shame he was missing a rudder for direction.

this dude is the living personification of chaotic energy lmao

This dude has 4 life times worth the stories this whole interview left me speechless with my jaw to the floor the whole time God definitely had his hand on him heavy through this all! 😂 glad he’s here to share his story you can take so much from this message God bless !

This guy has the energy and focus of a housefly trying to get through a pane of glass.

The amount he got away with before he was held accountable in the seals was insane, just goes to show.

Man, Sept 11, 2014 was the day I came home from my last combat tour in Afghanistan, 3 weeks later I was in jail for DUI and Assault charges on the night of my units’ military ball in celebration of our successes in combat. Celebrations like you said, are the moments we self-sabotage. Thanks to God-Almighty and senior leaders who looked out for me the Army didn’t kick me out and I’m retiring in a few months.

Taylor might have messed up some stuff, but he’s a wealth of knowledge. Nobody is better suited to teach than someone who’s tried and failed and tried and failed and is still standing on their feet.

"You're either an asset or a liability" That one hit hard. I'll never forget it again! Incredible story and so inspirational!

If he hasn't done it already, this guy is a serious TED Talk waiting to happen. He should be doing motivational speaking all over the world. His story is straight up crazy. A literal roller coaster of emotions and experiences.

Honestly,..... these chaotic personality types are the very ones the US military adore. They're typically single, insanely motivated, focused, and blindly loyal. They make great war fighters. What can I say.

Bro I went in the legion 2016. Yes running, yes humility pie, yes being in your 30s with a bunch of 18 russophone. I was living in my car in VA and I said screw it and went to the legion

Ran away from his obligation to the USA before it was complete, broke a mans face and never paid restitution, ran away to the FFL and then ran away FROM the FFL before completing his contract- this is a man who has never finished a single thing he signed up for and has never fulfilled a single obligation he volunteered for. Yet here he is, getting lots and praise and accolades, despite failing to fulfill his oath in not one, but two countries.

I’ve listened to every single interview Taylor has done. He pretty much says the same stuff every time, but I always get something different out of each interview. I can relate a lot, and his motivational speaking has gotten me through some really rough times recently. Thank you, Taylor. Keep fighting the good fight.

I’m only a few minutes in and I’m loving this dudes energy and self deprecation

I'm 34 and have been contemplating joing the legion. Prior marine, similar trials and tribulations as this man. I've been out the loop so long tho and may not pass medical. I want that confidence back again, something to strive for. I'll keep contemplating, still got 5 years till I'm really too old. Keep inspiring dudes dude.

Yeah I dunno. How often can you repeat the same mistake and lapse of judgment?

This dude had so many “it was at that moment” moments, absolutely wild

"took vacation to go to jail" had me rolling, awesome story man

This lad is proof that a human brain can achieve anything provided that motivation and mentality is an excuse.

I was a regular Army officer in my youth who after being commissioned first in my class, sought out all the hell courses that the Army offered... anything for that next patch or tab. Looking back and thinking about it I've come to believe that the process doesn't produced better soldiers because it doesn't measure one's ability to perform military duties. What's measured is what this guy says - how much torture and fear the individual is willing to endure to satisfy his desire for self-proof and recognition. I even came to suspect that it's often the most flawed and insecure individuals who make it to graduation.

Nobody is perfect and a majority of us survivors of life have done stupid shit, but I personally Thank you for being human and serving our country.

An unbelievable dude. No matter what he got himself into or what was put on him he just kept going. Really inspiring mentality and will to keep moving.

Jesus Christ, He is so fucking crazy and awesome at the same time. I admire his honesty. I’m glad he pushed through all the hardships. Pure definition of persevere through adversity. I wish more people like him had integrity to this magnitude.

Thanks for that energy dude. Couldn’t turn it off. Felt it. Respect.

This guy is frigging savage man

Man, so much to unpack here. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share this knowledge, TCav. As a Marine veteran approaching 40, trying to recover from spine surgeries/multiple procedures over the past 3 years, I'm in the fight for my life. I want to be that hardcore dude, not for anyone else but myself. I feel that being hard and capable is how I value myself (for better or worse). Anyway, Semper Fi, and thanks again for your time.

Great message! Hitting your 40's and looking around at all the debauchery, questioning things. Look inward, focus on improving and inspiring yourself. Lead by example.

I thought about joining the legion. I signed up 6 months after 9/11, was in the Iraq invasion. Then my younger brother joined. Went with us on our second tour Iraq. He got killed by a suicide bomber while in guard duty in Baghdad. I didn't reenlist after that. Got my honorable discharge, went home. Got on drugs. Drinking. Getting in trouble. I hated not being in the military. I missed it. But messed up too bad. Couldn't get back in. Thought about joining the legion. Kept self-destructing. Then i wasn't in good enough shape. I kept getting worse. And it just never happened. Still, as i write this, im 45 now. All that goes through my head is combat. I hate being a civilian. I suck at it lol. I finally got my 100% from the VA. Got married. And taking it day by day.

I’m glad to see TCAV gets an interview on here, I’ve been watching him for a while and I really relate to him in a lot of ways, and he’s an inspiration for me to try special operations

You are one tough guy! You exemplify the true meaning of being a survivor all day and every day. I enjoyed hearing about your journey in life. Best wishes!

That first step is the hardest. I wish you the best in your journey. Your videos are so inspiring on my fight with cancer. Thank you for your inspiration

Well I just listened to the whole thing, and I dont think ive ever watched something this long on KZfaq before. Such genuine, gripping story telling which resonates on so many levels with so many of us. Thank you.

That was a really inspirational interview, the message definitely hit home for me, thank you Taylor.

What is clear darling man.... You NEVER GAVE UP, regardless if you were in a positive or negative vibes, space..... Keep delivering positivity to MEN, the young ones need your help, more than the rest......We, the oldies, are too old but the HEART IS WILLING YOU ON..... Blessings darling boy from Granny Linda in OZ sweetheart 😊

This was really impressive. I will be sharing this. My Dad was in the FFL, he was strict but fair. We did not get a chance to grow up soft. We learned respect, team work and a lot of discipline. I would not have changed this for the world. Peace and Success Brother!

You're message is the square truth. I hope Veterans listen. I lost my leg outside the USMC. That was my humbling moment.

This is exactly what i needed to listen to, at the exact time I needed it. Thank you. Had an "eventful" childhood. Ran away for my own sanity, got into bad situations, but always had God kicking me in the balls and sending someone to help pick me up and show the kindness I needed. And yes, family (and close friends) usually hold you back due to people's subconscious desires to hold people around them back to feel better about their own mess. I thought something was wrong with me after dealing with enough crap, because I found it too easy to just shut myself off from people that posed no benefit to my growth. Been in a slump lately due to previous hurt resurfacing, and letting something like that get a hold on you makes you dig yourself into a bigger hole. Started forcing myself to get productive, creating the means to get myself back on the road to my purpose. It's been a hell of a bumpy ride, but I guess it makes for some good stories to help others not make the mistakes I did.

This man is a legend. To overcome all the adversity and trials. If you’re reading this comment thank you for your service. To anyone else reading listen to his story. Truly listen. It will inspire you.

There is definitely a fine line between chaos and brilliance. It’s the different sides of the same coin. What a great share!

For some reason I can resonate with his story. "Every opportunity in the book abd I crushed it." That hits home. Thanks for sharing, sir.

I've watched tons of his videos. The guy has made some mistakes, owns up, made changes, pushes forward. So much respect & I think many can learn & better themselves from listening to his stories. Mad respect. Nobody is perfect or even slightly good when it comes down to it

Sadly this man has a proven track record of never following through on anything

this guy's story is crazy, and so glad he has found fulfilment and pushed through the hard times! didn't realise the length of this vid but was captivated and watched it through in one go! much love bro

this guy is an excellent story teller. coherent, enunciating clearly, chronological, effectively descriptive. he's made some crazy decisions, but he's an intelligent guy.

This dude is always a good interview. Very well spoken and has a great story of redemption. Great interview UV!

He'll ya....I respect the honesty ...alot of ppl would of made it look better..

Thanks man I really needed to hear that last 10 mins

"took vacation... to go to jail". That's a real man right there.

love this dudes story. He seems so genuine. He has a great youtube page as well

I could follow you around all day and be motivated to do things I never thought possible. Thanks. I sat and pretty much watched this all the way through. I sent it to my son & to a friend.

Less than half way through. What a self centered person. Not worth my time. I was fighting a wildfire and spent several weeks working with a former seal. He was an exceptional worker, soft spoken and thoughtful. I kept in touch with him for years, usually caught up with him on fires. He was happy to be a father of a little girl. I found out he was a Seal at his memorial service. Nothing like this guy.

Open, Raw, unfiltered, and honest....thank you for sharing your story...amazing

“Here’s my plan: I’m gonna start my own business, be an entrepreneur, maybe apply to med school next week. I got this shit!” Taylor, you don’t even have any shoelaces right now. hahaha. The people who love us can’t help but show us their love by telling us the truth & humbling us when we need it.

Watched every interview he has done, learned something positive every time. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you TC!

Amazing interview, one of the best ever for a man. Not that long ago I embarked on the similar journey of self discovery and something just clicked along the way. Best wishes to Tylor in his bright future.

If they aren't making a movie about this guy yet... this might be the basis for one of the most inspirational and humbling scripts ever to come out of LA.

Hes bettering himself, im totally all for it. Im high energy andcam judged a lot. Sucks in a way because im a really nice guy. Keep up the good work brother

First 90 minute commercial that I've ever sat through😂

This is awesome. Great interview. Thank's Taylor, really well told, and thanks to Urban Valor for telling it 59:45 LOL

Man your testimony was so enlightening. Bless you for sharing and developing this video. I think I came across it for a reason. 🙏

No matter what you've been through, you can overcome anything. Talyor Cavanaugh if proof of that, thank you for sharing.

As a young man I made the huge mistake of getting a DUI. Worst mistake of my life. The judge decided to make an example of me and it ruined everything I ever worked for. The judge actually just wrote all the new super strict DUI laws in my county and I was one of his first "examples". I lost all my money, my car, my license, 3 years in prison(finally got that suspended) and all types of other shit. No one was hurt btw. I did wreck my car. Nothing serious. A bump. To make a long story short I lost my company I worked my ass off to start. I new I was joining the army since I was a kid. Me and all my friends had a date we were going to sign up because a few of us had other stuff to take care of before hand. We all did 4 years marine ROTC and trained every single day. It was our life. I got the DUI in the middle of everything with my recruiter. I got to watch all my friends leave without me. That killed me. That one mistake of getting behind the wheel caused a ripple effect that lasted for over 15 years. 10 years after I had everything worked out a sheriff shows up at my door and says they have a warrant for my arrest. Take me in and finally 3 days later they figure out what's going on. They said I failed to go to my AA classes so that nothing counted and I get the original punishment of 3 years. I did do the classes btw and even had the original paperwork but they wouldn't except it because that group no longer meets and theirs no way to prove i didn't forge it. My lawyer said he's never seen nothing like it along with everyone else I talked to. They dropped the 3 years for 1 year probation, a ton more fines, and 96 hours community service. The reason I'm telling this story is because if you're thinking about having a drink then driving somewhere you better think again. I changed radio stations and bumped something and this is what all came from it. I'm not saying this wasn't my fault btw. I take full responsibility of getting behind the wheel. Just think about what it's gonna cost you.

Thank you for telling your story and thank you for your service.

You said it perfectly... The key is to tell yourself no. I learned that as I was growing older. Even at 51 years of age I'm still learning and still tell myself no. Good job sir. Always give back to whomever wants it the most.

I am French, when I was 17 I joined the French Marines (Infanterie de Marine). After one year at boot camp I was sent to Africa for 2 years. There were also paratroopers of the French Legion (2ème REP).

Been watching TCav Tv for a while. Enjoyed this interview.

Inspiring.. thank you for the interview!

This 1.5hrs literally contains a lifetime's worth of wisdom you can take with you every day, whatever you do.

I knew guys like that in the Army. Constantly in trouble, 1/10th of their dealings would be enough to toss 10 guys out of the military. But, they were also the best soldiers you had. Still, no matter how many times you covered for them, swept stuff under the rug, stood up for them, they would break every chance they were given. In the end they all came to ruin.

Playing roller hockey after watching Mighty Ducks in the street. Say no more, brother. You are speaking my words.

You are a unit! dude. At 19 I was working towards my degree in Computer Science, and later PostGrad. I'm happy just writing code.

I must admit, Homey dropped a lot of gems in this interview. You can tell he's been through some crucibles.

The Chinook base was Marine Corp Air Station Tustin-MCAS Tustin, and until recently had 2 huge blimp hangers and actually housed the Good Year blimp for a while. Now there’s only 1 left after a huge fire burned one of them down. The hangers are 192 feet tall, 1072 long and 292 feet wide. Absolutely huge.

This guy is charismatic and he speaks to a lot of people who have fucked up before. Unfortunately, it seems like he ultimately lacks accountability and humility despite all that he's been through. So it's a story to listen to but a cautionary tale. Don't end up like this guy, you're called to do better than this

This is a solid interview of the ups and downs of a mans life. Turmoil within our own minds and the self sabotage that we experience

100% coming back to this when needed

The king of self sabotage

44:40 Active duty SEAL, serving time. Absolutely epic story.

“Action alleviates anxiety.” I have to remember and borrow that. Many thanks @UrbanValorTV

Action relieves anxiety. Beautiful man thank you for that. It's so true and your story has been fascinating and helpful to watch.

Love this dude energy. Great KZfaq channel

Some of us are born to test the world and take risks. If you never fail, you’re not trying hard enough.

This dude is a wealth of life knowledge for anyone willing to listen.

Been following Taylor since his first video. Lesson learned: Life has an interesting way of bringing you home…assuming you have the discipline to allow it.

Retired MARINE GYSGT 3 tours in Vietnam 🇻🇳. Been there and done that and I love ❤️ your website.

I didn't even press pause as soon as I started listening. Learned so many things just in this one single video. Greatly inspired.

Man I needed this video thank you brother.

"Trent Clayson!" 😂 Hell yeah..

Heard that story 5 times already... Still cool to hear

Damn I love this interview, as a veteran and getting hit with depression and feeling like loser and trying to avoid responsibility due to fear of failing. This really inspired me thank you!! Brother!!! Love the story!!!

My buddy Jake did the same thing and had the same personality. He was a wild dude…. He was Marine Recon then went to the Legion. Have seen nor heard from him since.
