I am at my lowest point in life. No job sick all the time. I really needed to hear this guy talk. Today is a new day time to pick myself back up and start over. Thank you Jesus!!
How are ya now?
If there wasn’t any fear, there wouldn’t be any courage
Remember who you are. Do what you have to do and don’t ever quit. 👍🏼💯💯
He has a TH-cam channel where you can listen to more
❤
Do not feel bad
I am a mother with a full time job, I work at home and on 26 yrs in Wisconsin
But my son. Is having troubles finding a job. He is 27 turning 28. He was in CNC work than HVAC. BUT HVAC CONSUMES YOUR LIFE ALL DAY. GREAT PAY TOO MANY HOURS. SO HE JUST HAD A JOB THROUGH. TEMP SERVICE AND, A 70 YR OLD MAN WAS HARD ON HIM LEARNING THIS JOB. ITS JUST UNREAL. SO NOW HE IS LOOKING FOR A JOB. AND I AM HOLDING THE FORT DOWN HERE IN WISCONSIN 🔥
I have watched several interviews with this man. His story has proven to me that you can come back from anything. Even if you have lost everything. It all depends on you. Do not give up.
You are not wrong, but this guy is in an EXTREMELY small percentile of determination, grit, etc, etc .
I genuinely believe most people can come back from most things, but this dude and the few like him are a different breed. None the less, we can ALL learn from them.
@weirdmood8102 he is part of a small percentage because he knows how strong the mind and human will are. That is what his military training unlocked. Pushing through these boundaries we set with negative self-talk.
❤@@knockharder3554 m.
AMEN
@knockharder3554 He went through BUDS before any of his training. Buds isn't designed to make you succeed. It's literally designed to make the human brain and body quit. It's sole purpose is to find the few men who simply won't quit and send those to training.
Either way, you're correct in saying he fully understands the power in just not quitting, but very, very few of us genuinely understand that, even when we think we do.
When it comes to the suck, we're generally wired to only put up with so much. These Tier 1 and 2 guys are simply wired differently. That's literally what sets them apart from the rest of us.
I used to think they were all built like Gi.I. Joe's, and Taylor actually is, but the majority of Seal and Delta guys are just normal dudes, they just possess an insane ability to embrace the suck and still be able to remain calm and collected. The one thing they generally all have in common is above average intelligence. I really enjoy listening to them on podcasts because they are all extremely intelligent and capable human beings. They just chose to deal death as a profession, but they were going to be the best of their field no matter what they chose to do. Their training 100% helps, but these dudes are special before they ever signed the dotted lines.
Regardless, we could all learn a ton from them, but only hope to obtain a fraction of their successes.
We're just fortunate they fight for our teams.
My hard rest is coming right now at 50 years old with three little girls and a beautiful wife, I have a very successful business yet sabotage myself with alcohol every night. It stopped tonight. No more. I’m going to be free, and I will live to my potential and stop stacking karmic debt. I’ve followed this dude from day one on you tube but never knew the full story. This was a moving powerful interview. Thanks for your story. 3 weeks later: thank you everyone for all the comments and support. It’s good to know that there are such wonderful people out there that share their own experience and wisdom. I am doing leaps and bounds better, but I CAN and WILL do more. Thank you all again, god bless each and every one of you….
How you doing Neil? You still going strong on kicking the alcohol brother? It’s hard, stay strong it gets better. Semper Fi
Good luck to you. Don’t give up. Just remember quitting is about telling yourself “I CAN have this, but I don’t need it. Or I CAN have this, but I don’t want it”. When you tell yourself “I CANT have this” it sends messages to our brain that we need it… The addiction plays tricks on our minds. When you realize that you can start to take control of your life.
Good luck to you. AA worked for me. Working the steps is a very similar process to what Mr Cavanaugh outlines but there is no wrong way to get sober!
Consider a possibly untreated anxiety disorder which I had... I literally couldn't quit alcohol and was almost dead at 35... Doc said I had a couple months to go if I kept it up after my 3rd hospitalization and IV drip... Anxiety medication allowed me to finally quit abusing it so bad and I can actually drink responsibly now. Have a couple beers and go home and go to bed.... Lifechanging meds helped me survive it.
You got this brother! Keep us updated
The best teachers are the ones who made mistakes, recognized them and worked to improve them.
Great stuff.
What do you notice about his speech vs most of the people you see/hear speaking? He is so articulate that he has no ums, ahs, likes, stutters, breaks or nervous disconnections at all. He has zero mental hiccups in between his brain and his voice. How rare is that today? Granted, he will make some pauses to regather his thoughts, but his flow of speech is so powerful compared to every other random person who are so hard to listen to. It helps make him interesting. It is a lost art.
Fascinating. Great story.
his ummss are just fuckins. hes a new englander like me so i know😂
@@ratbird3290hahahaha
As a spec ops guy they have to take public speaking classes so they can give debriefs, etc.
Very true.

“People want to change their life, but they don’t want to change their actions”. This guy is great. This video took a drastic turn. Thanks Mark
This guy should do a TED talk.
Is he? When every second word out your mouth needs to be a cuss word? Somehow I just don't believe he's got anything together.
@@normanberg9940because he cussed you sound like a clown
@@normanberg9940oh no he said bad words 😂 do your best to never read Mark Twain if you’re so easily offended
@@TriggaTrey361 Really? Are you that simple? Do I really need to spell out for you why constant cussing is a sure sign of a weak character?
Let me put it to you this way. If you were to appear in court and you needed to address the judge would you use that type of language? Obviously not. Well why not? Because you would want to present yourself at your best, right?
So why when you are on video in front of the whole world would you not want to do the exact same thing and not come across as trailer trash?
The only reason I sound like a clown to you is because an actual clown cannot think beyond the end of his fake nose and thus assumes that others who can must be the real clowns and not himself.
Please stop being just another clown in a world full of clowns and use your brain for something more than just empty space filler.
The guy you are wanting to admire is Jocko Willink, look him up.
"If you are negotiating, guess what? You're making the wrong choice." That's a gem right there. So true.

Do you believe everything he says??
This dude has been on a few platforms and, he embellishes and changes up on his stories... Idk, he's a trip..
@PabloCruise9398 he has good phrases, I don't think much of it either way. Believing someone has no merit on liking a phrase.
Do YOU believe him or what? You watch him on multiple occasions? What's that about? I know nothing about dude but I watch Soft white underbelly.
I didn't think he was a liar, I think he was transparent about everything. Way more honest than most. Just my opinion, since you asked.
@PabloCruise9398 he is a monster ego guy though I believe so.. he likes his wild side a bit much
@@chrisoconnor3119 Nah, I don't follow the dude. That's weird, and I can't take hearing him to too long he's a bit much.
I've just caught snipits of him talking about growing up and he said something different. Either way it don't matter, I don't care. He is a trip though..
"Poo painting, is not gangster." Guys a blessing but that phrase had me spit my drink out.

Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL.
What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend?
Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures.
A woman made it to day 4 of BUD/S first phase recently but she quit on day 4. That’s the farthest a woman has made it. Her BUD/S classmates told me that her class hated her and ran her out from under the boat because she was a boat ducker. Nine women have entered the SEAL pipeline since 2016.
@@Anonymous18817 I'm not a SEAL but I am in the military and I have met guys who've made it through various special operations pipelines. I also have a sister who went to West Point, so I understand the troubles that women in the military go through. My advice for you would be to train for an Ironman. A lot of people neglect endurance training in favor of lifting weights, but 90% of what a warrior does in combat and in training is endurance related. Also, if you can complete an Ironman with a decent time, you must be pretty tough, which is probably the most important thing for special operations. Also, there are workout programs designed for those looking to enter special operations. I've good things about the 18A fitness program. There's not a whole lot you can do to prevent bone fractures or breaks. For the most part, your skeleton is what it is. My sister has dealt with various injuries throughout her time in the Army, it's really just a bridge you cross when you get there. I hope this was helpful and good luck. Even if you don't make it, any woman with the balls to attempt to become a SEAL has my respect. God bless.
I watched a video about the "deadliest soldier in vietnam" the other day. He would carry 5+ pistols on him at all times and held off the vietcong while his squad was evacuated. Then when it came time for him to evacuate he told them no. They told him that he was surrounded and needed to get out. He responded "I've got them right where I want them. Surrounded from the inside"
The dude took R&R and snuck off to fight alongside other soldiers.
I earned it, is the greatest way to deal with bad shit happening to you that I’ve ever heard. How can anyone not resonate with someone with such a high level of self awareness?
One of the few people that cant shaddup but you want to hear everything they've got to say ..I enjoyed every minute of this ..Peace and luck brother ✌️
Best I've seen also, rollercoaster redemption story, but it's not a Q and A. He's not supposed to shaddup. He does not do that every waking moment in which he is in the presence of another human being. They way he speaks in this setting is the way he has performed in life,...non-stop do or die passion.
I have no problem with him stfu...
It's interesting how many people consider their childhood as good and blessed...but when they go into detail they experienced SA, domestic violence, alcoholism, drugs, divorce and a sequence of serious injuries.
Absolutely.
Suffering is how we grow.
@@jamespierce5355 No it isn’t, a parents responsible is to provide a child with a safe environment, most adult children don’t walk away as functional adults at being in a household of domestic violence with drug and alcohol abuse.
You mean ' experienced life'? Nobody's childhood was perfect, and pain and discomfort were necessary.
Bc it’s the norm.
Saying no to oneself is probably one of the most powerful comments I have heard during the l last five years....thank you
I agree. And it’s so antithetical to what society is telling us.
Came back to watch this a second time. Love how he tells his story without having to get into his actual combat experience.
I’ve watched the whole two hours of this man’s interview. I learned so much and new things about life I am 57 years of age but you still can learn new things in life. Thank you for your good work on this interview and to Taylor 👍
Thanks for your time and words🤙🏼
I’m glad I clicked on this interview 👊🏼gonna share this 1 w/my son he needs 2 hear this. Thanks 4 sharing

This guy reminds me of something former SEAL/present TH-camr MrBallen said about guys going through SEAL training. That the ones who’ve phucked up and underachieved in other areas of their lives tend to do well. Because they have nothing left to lose and have decided to commit themselves to this. Versus guys who came in as star athletes and highly accomplished people and may not want it so badly.
He was speaking on Ben Sifrit, who was top in his BUDs class and honor seal at his graduation, but then ended up going on a rampage with his wife and murdered a couple for the fun of it
One of thee best interview's I have sat and listened to, intensely..... Thank you Mr. Cavanaugh for sharing.
Thank you for your time in listening
If you really listen to this video there are so many hidden nuggets I really wish him the best and pray he keeps on the path he is on. Thank you for sharing his life story
I love how Mark let his guest speak without interrupting
100%. After listening to this, I found another one where he's being asked question after question, for 2hrs, podcast advertisement interruptions & it's a totally different vibe. Sure, we get some details that we don't get in this one, but overall, this is The One.
Mike Ritland done a great interview with TCav. The symmetry between the two SEAL guys was awesome to watch. Go watch it, it's the same story but different because of Mike's interaction with TCav.
@@mauricelangley5033 FACTS
Not sure Taylor ever gave him a chance , but it worked
@@texomajohn2916 it’s about him tho
What an incredible human being Taylor is. Amazing how positive his messages are from IG and YT.
The way Taylor powered through and stayed focused on what he wanted is highly commendable, but he left chaos in his wake and everyone seems to ignore that fact. Whether he is ACOA or ADHD and even if you detest putting labels on people there is definitely something happening in Taylor that continues to cause him to resort to alcohol and self sabotage over and over. Therapy is an option. I wish him continued success in his new career as he can definitely support others using his experience. Just hope he doesn’t neglect his own mental health in the process.
this was one of the best yet. This guy really pumped me up and gave me that extra push knowing its not too late for me for a second chance. I always thought i was a little too old to " start over" after getting sober but I got sober and currently am in EMT school, studying and training for the NREMT exam. This guy really helped me feel like I truly can do it and its not too late for me. I wish I could sit down and pick this dudes brain and talk to him, I see ALOT of myself in him and he explained my life essentially back to me haha
You got this, brother! 💪
What an incredible story! I really enjoy this channel so much because you don't interrupt the interviews with questions. You let people TALK. It's fantastic. You gave up a lot Taylor before you got yourself right. And that's how it goes - We have to hit bottom to go up.
"If you're negotiating with yourself, you are making the wrong choice"
Well said brother, best 2 hours I ever spent watching this.
👊🏼
How is one supposed to buy a car or a house without thinking throughly (i.e. negotiating with oneself)?
Not necessarily, depends what you're negotiating
That's exactly what I thought watching this.
@@kallekarjalainen9287Thinking thoroughly isn’t negotiating.

When do we get to read your book !?!!
Exceptional! As a mom of a Marine....I appreciated Taylor's challenges and desire to overcome. He has an intensity that is unparalleled. Maseltov, Taylor.❤
I had dinner with him a few weeks ago, as we have friends in common. Very inspiring, unapologetic, charismatic dude. Got to speak French together.
👊🏼
The challenge of picking up another language under the circumstances of the Foreign Legion wasn’t addressed, but can’t be overstated.
Not a real seal
@@myfootontheirneck8865 Pardon?
@@Lonerlovegood did I say it in a language that you didn’t understand?
Mr. Cavanaugh, I mean this in the most supportive way, you are a force to be reckoned with. It takes a special human to be a SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire. And your aggression works well for you. But being an average civilian, I had to watch this in two separate sittings. I appreciate your transparency with your history so that we can learn from it. I also appreciate what you have sacrificed for this country and it's population. Prayers for continued peace and prosperity to you.
“Running is for the enemy” lol that’s right, love it. Thank you for your service Taylor ♥️
I thought for sure at first I wasn’t going to like this guy! I was dead wrong! He reminds me of myself a lot, all besides I haven’t bounced back again like he did! I have lived an amazing life, beautiful wife in my bio pic, two amazing teenage kids, I have been to rock bottom once, fought through it! And fell again! I’m on the verge of losing it all again house, family, etc, if I don’t bounce back now!! This man’s story motivated me! I need to stop being a coward and beat these demons and make a plan! No more excuses! Pray for me yall! Please
You got this, brother! Gather yourself up. 💪
I love this dude. He’s his own worst enemy and capable of such amazing things, but ends up with hard knocks wisdom from the craziness.
I can relate to him.
Definitely
GLOSTA.. to be honest this gentleman said 13 things that stuck with me and resonated. Things I needed to hear, I’m 41 years old and wasted the best years of my life. I’m smart and charismatic, I can still do something and so can you. “The decisions you make matter”
Dont think anything is wasted...there wwre lessons to be learned. Some people have DIFFERENT lessons to learn but do t think anyone has a perfect life. It may LOOK so on the outside but we all have lessons. And life and possibility isnt over til it's over.
@@latinaalma1947 Rain Means Change 🌧️
This has got to be the best interview so far. I didn’t want it to end. He’s genuinely humble.
Mark - I appreciate your ability to listen and allow the story to unfold. More people should take a cue from you, sir!
I looove Navy seals & Veterans storys!! Always so interesting!!
Keep interviewing people with these types of stories, Mark🔥
My oldest brother is a former seal. He taught me that pain is your friend. He also told me he loved BUDS.
T CAV is the man! He comtains multitudes of wisdom and I watch every one of his uploads. His story is inspiring and he has a great motivational message. Thanks for bringing this interview to the people, Mark. Great choice.
This was eye opening! Thank you for the raw truth about self-destruction . It has definitely motivated me to challenged myself to DO better. Even though I’m successful in so many faucets of my work and private life, I am wasting so much God given opportunity. I’m sick of cutting myself short!! I completely recognize how I allow my horrific childhood circumstances to continue to fuel my anger, agitation, aggression and isolation! These action cause me so much shame, guilt and regret! My small circle can see I’m actually a deeply caring, highly sensitive and truly empathetic person, who is riddled w/ fear and hides behind thick scar tissue.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. You have moved me Taylor!! 🙏
Your story is super relatable! 🎉
15 minute into this and thinking this is one of the best interviews that I have seen on your channel. Thankyou Mark
My grandpa was a navy seal in world war 2.wool uniform came home alive thank God.I was able to get my mom and he was the best poppy so loving to his children and grandchildren survived his country and two days before I turned 16 he passed away from colon cancer.I lost the best poppy and my mom lost her loving dad.But he was a proud Navy Seal🥰
My oldest brother was a seal back in in the mid 80s
My favorite story of trials and triumphs. I hope his story becomes a 📖 book/ movie 🎥 helping others see that go with in to heal is the way to go up.🎉❤😊
This might be one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. The philosophical takeaways from this are remarkable. I’m not even sure if he meant for it to be philosophical.
Man had lived a crazy life. I’m blessed to listen to his point of view.
If you ever see this thank you for sharing! Believe it not you touched me with some of the stuff you said.
This is the best SWU I have heard. Thank you so much for your service and sharing your story. So much wisdom and inspiring ❤
Professional life coaches need to take life coach lessons from this warrior. Wow, I’m halfway through this jaw dropping story.
Appreciate your time here
Thank you Mark for introducing me to this fella. I have 2 nephews that I love with my whole heart; that could benefit from hearing this man's message. ❤
🤙🏼
Ditto….sending to my bro.
This has been one of the best interviews I've seen here. I'd seen some of Taylors videos before, his legion stories & a few others. This is really a lesson in humility, his strength & wisdom are really evident & obviously hard learnt. He should be a motivational speaker.
👊🏼🐉
“Fabricating obstacles.” That’s what we do when we’re lost. Beautiful.
“Men, we are either assets or liabilities. There is no neutral.” Sage advice.
🫵🏻👊🏼
Man I really really really like this guy. Every word was so incredibly felt.
The real ones get it👊🏼
Taylor.
Thank you for being
there for me when
I was having a rough time.
Dude, you will always be my hero for that and for being uniquely you in a world of sheeple.
Much love,

This is my favorite interview I’ve seen on this channel. Thanks for sharing
👊🏼
Wow one of the best informational talks and interviews I’ve seen in my whole life! I’ve saved it and thanks very much for sharing Taylor Cavanaugh! I’m a blessed Christian myself and a U.S. Marine Grunt and STA(Scout Sniper) platoon veteran. Now I’m focused on helping others as I help myself be a productive man as a future certified personal trainer. You mentioned destiny and I definitely have one as a blessed Christian so I truly thank you again for helping me realize this. Hooya, oohrah and Semper Fi!
“Whole ass everything”. Best quote ever!
“Rain means change” wow 😯 that hit me deep idk why
This dude reminds me of myself. Living with a sense of value, wisdom, ethics and morals is 80% of the battle. The rest is common sense and self reflection. I finally figured it out in my mid to late 30s. It was Buddhism, Taoism and eastern philosophy that saved my life. Here I am 16 years later and when I deviate from the path, I suffer. Thank goodness I never go to far off the path now. I have to stick with my practice and constantly strive to refine myself and let go of even minor addictions and personality flaws.
Thanks for sharing your story and thank you for your service.
I don't know if he is actually diagnosed with ADHD or if he was just eating Adderall, but his life story is much like mine and probably everyone else with ADHD. Once you perfect something or reach your goal it's never enough. You drop it like a bad habit, lose interest, and move onto the next thing. It's very difficult, almost impossible, to just stick with something long-term...no matter how bad you wanted it in the first place.
Mark,
Whatever you do to prep these ppl prior to telling such detailed stories...is simply amazing. Thanks for all you do bring us such quality interviews. Love ur channel.❤❤
Actually Mark doesn't prepare anybody. People with something to share.
This guy's story is super interesting, but he's still got a long ways to go. He's still chasing ego and searching for validation through respect. He's still reliant on the way other people see him, whether he realizes it or not. He's setting himself up to crash and burn yet again. He'll have a number of awakenings and realizations as the years go by. If he makes it to 60-65 years old, he'll probably really find what he's looking for at that point. But he's gotta slow down and stop moving at 100mph all the time. Each step of the process, he gets better and better, but he's still not even close to being where he wants to be at this time. Slow the pace man.
Fair advice
Agreed
Wholeheartedly agree!!!
More like a baptism in Testosterone with a side order of Panic Attacks
Well said. This Cat is still not right.
I agree with this but he is quite far down the path of realisation. he has a good chance to make it.
Thank you Taylor. Saying NO to yourself. And doing things to respect YOURSELF!!! needed that
100% my life. Had to sit down and think. Thanks
hold the fuck on.. going to Iraq on bail is Thee most fucking gangster shit I ever heard.. and as a seal.. thank you for your service
This man got kicked out or quit everything hes done, what redemption?
So many powerful statements.
Thanks for sharing.
Your testimony can help so many people that are lost and have given up.
I hope you know what a living miracle you are.
What an amazing and inspirational interview
Good gracious this man is easy on the eyes😊
How has this blown up so much so fast? 2 months ago he started his YT channel and now he's appearing everywhere.
Awesome story , thank you for your service!!
So he did a ton of steroids, joined the Navy Seals, got kicked out of the Navy Seals, went to jail, joined the Foreign Legion, got kicked out of the Foreign Legion.... And now hes a life coach. Where can I sign up?
By far the best interview ever!!! "RAIN MEANS CHANGE" This interview confirmed so much about life for me! Taylor, you're amazing !!❤❤❤ A true gem!!💎
This was powerful, my favorite guest, interview ever, thanks Mark, and Taylor, you one strong sob 🙏
Appreciate your time👊🏼
I can't BELIEVE there are people in this world that get as many second chances as this guy got. He is not a role model. He's betrayed every group he has ever been a part of and has only shown commitment to propping up himself. He told his entire story but showed no growth. He criticizes regret so he can live guilt free. Just a package of Winstrol and Adderall on camera and from the comments I'm reading it looks like ya'll bought into it. I believe in second chances. Even third chances. This guy had like SIX....that he talked about. There are a lot of Americans who would never be able to get a non-dishwashing job if they did half the things he did.
Exactly
Beta.
Taylor is an amazing storyteller - humble and righteous - enjoy following this very unique soldier!
I struggled with watching this young man to the end.
I married a navy hull technician, who got accepted to the Navy Dive Training Program. He passed second class dive school in 1976 as our first daughter was born two months early and she died April 17, 1976. Bill graduated and then left on a six month deployment to Japan on the USS AJAX.
People are so fortunate to be able to really find self, and then share their story so others can do the same.
I’m 46 brother and I’ve never been in the military but,been through some things in life. My attitude the past few years has been to my downfall. I’m glad I found your video because it make you look in the mirror and say it’s now or never to your self. Thanks I needed that guy talk. Day 1 my friend
“You don’t have to justify beautiful choices” ❤ my dad always said “just do the right thing and the rest comes easy”
I gave myself 2 nights to watch and take in this video. You have done things and been places that not many men will ever do or see. First - you are my neighbor, I have lived in the San Diego area since 1982 and currently live 40 minutes south of your Murrieta home. Like I said, you are my neighbor. I have not seen any of your TH-cam video's other than this one, and I am impressed. I've known men like you over the years. My first husband was a crazy New York version of you, and now he's dead. But you would understand that. Reading some of the messages below you are striking a cord with others that are at low points in their lives, and that is not taking into consideration the people who don't post comments - it seems as if you have found your calling now. Stay sober Taylor, don't forget your goals.
Didn't his opening statement that if you are experiencing narcissism you are a narcissist yourself! That is so disgusting. He has no idea.
yeah I don't know what he was trying to say, but it came across very wrong
He is
Think he’s pointing out the tendency for people to project onto others what they are uncomfortable with within themselves.
I think it's insightful to acknowledge that we all have narcissistic impulses and emotions. I appreciate his honesty. If we don't accept that we are selfish, we can't change it. He inspires me to change mine.
I’ve listened to Taylor’s story over a couple of days. What an incredible life this man has had on the road to self discovery. Some very important messages at the end that should be heard by everyone, whether you feel stuck or not. I will be hearing his words repeating with me for quite some time. Thank you Taylor and Mark 🫶
🤙🏼
Moral of the story: DONT DRINK
A self centered attitude coupled with impulsiveness is a poor approach to military service anywhere. People whose primarily loyalty is to themselves and not to their brothers and sisters in arms will have a very difficult time despite their talents. The system in any military service globally will chew people like this up and spit them out. Lots of squandered talent here.
💯
I loved listening to Taylor. What a ride he's had in life. Many of us, me included, have a lot to learn from his words, his advice. Thank you.
What a guy; absolute gem of an interview.
🤙🏼
Thank you for your service.🇫🇷
You know how french people respect the Legion and legionnaires.
his voice is awsome
Yes, his Voice is very! clear and articulated. Also VERY Confident? or Arrogant??? I'm seriously just not sure ...
... He Loves! talking about himself - GoodOrBad!
What's Accent does he possess???
MsL
Melbourne
Australia
@LyndaDixon-k9s His accent is southern California, all the way. It's particular to coastal southern California, or SoCal, as the Northern California rivals call it. 😊
My sister helped me realize this, just a couple weeks ago. I pretty much ditched my home town, ran away and went to the military and blocked everything out. I make alot more sense to Me after filling in “the me shaped holes in my heart”.
This man is so awesome. With all the horrible shot going on in the world this was good to hear.
He resembles one of the guy’s that used to do the dancing bear party’s, just minus the tattoos. Big built with big arms and big legs, not forgetting the big 🍆 as well 😂😜 the ladies loved him!
You have absolutely no idea of how much I needed to hear this. Thank you brother
Tell me jocks don’t get privilege. Opportunity after opportunity, fuck up after fuck up. Only a SEAL would get coddled like that. Anyone else with a clearance is one and done.
Don’t be a victim. This guy doesn’t have privilege, he’s an addict, we’re like this.
The military puts a LOT of investment in these guys. Of course they’re going to do what they can to keep their guys working.
What an incredible story! Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
👊🏼
Is this guy Don Shipley approved?
He is Travez Ripley approved.
Why his story sound like bs?
This was great, thanks! It takes a clear mind to make it. The importance of hard work, humility and accountability.
I enjoyed this.. talk about life all over the place…. This dude is beast no matter what he is doing.
An impressive drive from the deepest lows to an awakened cruise…great story!!! Very happy about what you’ve achieved and become…much respect for your service with both the seals and the legion!!! You are an inspiration!!! And I wish you the very very best!!!🇺🇸🇫🇷✝️
👊🏼
This dude makes the school of hard knocks look like the Ivy League. Great interview. Kudos to you, Mark.
What's life but a journey? Epic journey! Great story!
Taylor for President!! What a great and truly honest soul.
this why i love Marks videos. He knows what ppl wanna see the still with his shirt off 💗
😆🤙🏼
Good looking guys have such an easy life. If you want to read about a true hero, find a short guy.
Listened to the whole 2 hours. Never seen an interview this long on the channel but this had me captivated start to finish.
Knew the dude from highschool in Poway...absolute animal. But also, Poway is a bunch of crazy rich kids. Unwritten Law - CPK.
😆🤙🏼
