Spartan Leadership with Josh Kosnick

From Rock Bottom to Relentless: The Only Navy SEAL Turned French Foreign Legionnaire | Ep. 205

Josh Kosnick Episode 205

Taylor Cavanaugh's life reads like a movie script: from jail, to Navy SEAL, back to jail, homeless and suicidal… then straight into the elite and brutal ranks of the French Foreign Legion.

Now the only man known to have served in both elite forces, Taylor shares how he found purpose through pain, forged peace through discipline, and turned destruction into a deliberate life.

  • The power of daily discipline
  • Rebuilding your life from nothing
  • What it means to live in alignment with your divine design
  • Why transformation isn't about motivation—it's about subtraction
  • And how gratitude, not comfort, unlocks true freedom
