You get to a place of self-hatred in such a way where you're in inaction for a long time, and my whole life doesn't reflect of who I was, of this discipline, this consistency, this thing that I built.
Imagine growing up surrounded by chaos, where thrill-seeking becomes a coping mechanism. That's exactly how Tait Fletcher's story begins. Known for his roles in 'Breaking Bad', 'Westworld', 'John Wick', and 'The Mandalorian', Tait's journey is far from ordinary. Raised in Michigan, he dealt with childhood trauma by diving headfirst into drinking and fighting, seeking the adrenaline rush that chaos provided. This thirst for intensity led him to a career as a professional MMA fighter.
However, it was his path to sobriety that opened unexpected doors, leading him to Hollywood as a stuntman and actor. In 2021, while filming 'Free Guy', Tait faced another life-altering event—a severe motorcycle accident during a stunt sequence left him with a traumatic brain injury. The aftermath was grueling, filled with endless therapies and a battle to reclaim his sense of self. But Tait's story is one of resilience.
Through deep reflection and unwavering perseverance, he found healing and now serves as an inspiration to many who face similar struggles. This episode offers a candid look into Tait's life, emphasizing the crucial role of community and resilience in recovery. It's not just about overcoming addiction or physical injuries; it's about continuous personal growth and finding strength in vulnerability.
If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with hope and transformation, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
