In the 100th episode of DFW Grit, Dr. James Taylor reflects on his personal and professional transformation since the show’s early days as Fueled by Spite. What began as an anger (spiteful)-driven platform has evolved into a powerful mirror of growth, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Through honest storytelling, a solo retreat, and deep introspection, Dr. Taylor shares how reclaiming emotional range, embracing “woo-woo” beliefs, and committing to inner work opened the door to a more authentic version of himself—and laid the foundation for the next chapter of DFW Grit.
