For Episode 162 of The Hidden Workforce, we hear from a survivor who turned his life altering pain into a passion that changes lives and helps others.
Welcome LaQuan Taylor, owner of Atlanta’s location of NeuroFit 360 to The Hidden Workforce!
LaQuan survived being shot 15 times- 4 times in his back and the rest of the clip being unloaded into his stomach. This led to an incomplete T12 vertebra thoracic spinal cord injury. He underwent an intense recovery and rehabilitation process going from Grady Memorial’s ICU, to Shepherd Rehabilitation, a VA rehabilitation hospital, and then to NeuroFit 360. He was so impacted by his rehabilitation time with NeuroFit 360 that he brought it back to his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
NeuroFit 360 is the premier rehabilitation center for neurological conditions and injuries.
LaQuan is an overcomer and has truly turned the painful experiences he endured into a powerful platform to help people who have also experienced neurological injuries heal and reach their goals.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
