  • #43 “Taser, Taser, Taser; Oh $%*# I shot him.”
    Different book, same old story as Kim Potter is charged in the killing of Daunte Wright. The “no matter what you do, back the blue” crowd immediately stigmatizes and criminalizes Daunte Wright to seemingly justify Potter’s unjustifiable actions. We’ve seen this same thing play out so many times over the last several years. This is insane. Listen to the several no brainer reforms we can implement right now. Also, Chauvin pleads the 5th in George Floyd murder trial.

  • #42 Climate Crisis?

  • #41 Derek Chauvin Murder Trial/Death of George Floyd
    Guess who is back? It has been a little while since I have put out an episode. I have been very busy, but I have been watching this trial in depth. Not just the highlights on the news, but hours each day. Analyzing each witness as if I was a juror.  I have a unique perspective on many aspects of this trial as an individual that has battled addiction, one with extensive contact with law enforcement officers, and I am a certified firefighter and have extensive tactical combat casualty care/combat lifesaver training as well as Emergency Medical Technician training. Listen to my take on the trial thus far.

  • Where Have I Been?; I am alive and well.

    I just wanted to put out a little quick episode detailing where I have been the last few weeks. I am alive and well, I had been posting multiple episodes per week for a while and then disappeared. I have been busy cranking out some chapters of my book after procrastinating in classic Chris Taylor form, so I locked myself down and wrote 40,000 words in a few days! Some of the best writing I've ever done!


    I also just started a new term for my bachelor's degree program, that has me busy as well. In this short segment, I detail some of the first in depth stats from my podcast audience. So many shocking truths in the numbers! Listen to this episode to hear them. I will be back with regular episodes as soon as next week! Much Love!

  • #40 *Exclusive* 911 Tape of Overdose

    *Exclusive* Listen to the never before heard 911 tape of the near-fatal overdose incident.

     Exactly 1 year ago on February 19th, 2020 at 10:15 PM, I suffered a near-fatal heroin overdose. If it wasn’t for the quick and fearless actions of my wife and the first responders on the scene, I wouldn’t be alive today. 

    My only motivation for releasing this recording is to show the reality of drug use. My hope is that someone hearing this will think twice before using that “last shot” of Heroin. There is no “one more time.” It’s now or never, life or death. It could all be over in the blink of an eye. It's not worth it, don’t wait until "tomorrow". Tomorrow may never come. Get help NOW if you are struggling.

  • 21-Day POW Challenge

    Next weekend, February 20th, 2021 will be the 1-year anniversary of my relapse and overdose. I will have one year completely sober and back in recovery! Over this last year, I have experienced more personal growth, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than ever before. There is one last mountain I need to climb; my personal physical health. I eat and drink the most unhealthy things you can imagine and I don’t drink water. Soda, Red Bull, donuts, ice cream, hot Cheeto fries, white cheddar popcorn. You name it, I eat it. I don’t just love it, I am dependent on it. 


    Today I am finally committing to cutting all that out for good. Over the next 21 days, I will go to the extreme of drinking only water, cutting out all sugar, and restricting food intake to very small portions of dried, lean meat. Between the hours of Noon and 7 pm. Intermittent fasting. Cold Turkey on all the comfort food and drinks I have lived on forever. When it gets tough, when I feel sorry for myself, I will summons the power of American Prisoners of War. I will think about what they endured, what they sacrificed and I will rely heavily on God and my personal relationship with him to get through. Another reason I am calling it the POW challenge is because I am literally a prisoner of these substances. I don’t want to be a prisoner, I don’t want to be powerless over anything in life. This is the last enemy I need to vanquish. Join me!

  • #37 Black History is American History

    One month out of the year is hardly enough to celebrate all of the uniquely American tales of heroism, courage, perseverance and survival among Black Americans. Their history is rich with many of these endearing qualities. Endless inspirational stories exist, in this episode I recite just a few of my favorites. From John Lewis, Bill Russell, Hank Aaron, and Sojourner Truth. Black History is American History. In part two coming soon, I highlight amazing stories of historic black military figures.

    Special Series- 12 Steps to Complete Healing; My Personal Journey Through Each Step of Recovery

    Pride has been the underlying ailment in every stumble or falter I’ve ever had. Pride is very misunderstood, there is no element of pride that is good.
