Our guest this week is Rob Floyd of Franklin, TN a master mixologist, TV host, author and father of five including a daughter who has Moyamoya.

Rob and his wife, Megan, have married for 20 years and are the proud parents of five children: Joseph (29), Robbie (28), Ella (14), Indego (11) and Anges (5). Indego is the one with Moyamoya, a rare progressive brain disease.

The older two are from Rob's first marriage, which resulted in him becoming a single custodial father.

Professionally, Rob is a mixologist (yes he makes drinks for a living). He does this on TV as part of the Bar Rescue franchise and aboard dozens of Princess Cruises on an annual basis.

Rob is also author of the book, Sip At Sea: A Princess Cruises Cocktail Collection From Celebrity Mixologist Rob Floyd.

Rob also shares some terrific stories, including how he became good freinds with people like Brad Pitt when they were both very early in their careers doing commercials for Mountain Dew.

It's a very uplifting story and one that should be enjoyed with a cocktail or mocktail, all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

Special Fathers Network –
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: “I wish there was something like this when we first received our child’s diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through.”

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
