Taylor Cavanaugh's life is a rollercoaster of highs and lows that would put most action movies to shame. This San Diego kid dreamed of becoming a Navy SEAL from age seven, but his path was far from straightforward. Despite multiple arrests, fights with police, and faced several years in prison!

Taylor somehow made it into the elite SEALs. But the drama didn't stop there. After getting kicked out for steroid use, he hit rock bottom, living in his car. In a twist no one saw coming, Taylor then became the first - and so far only - former Navy SEAL to enlist in the French Foreign Legion.

This week's Urban Valor episode pulls no punches, diving into Taylor's wild ride from troublemaker to elite warrior to homeless vet, and finally to a groundbreaking role in another legendary fighting force. It's a raw, real-life tale of grit, mistakes, and unexpected comebacks that you won't want to miss.
