“Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.” – Edna Buchanan

In this episode, Logan and Tyson give you a full behind-the-scenes look at their trip to Fort Walton Beach, Florida for the Whiskers For Warriors event.

From the energy inside Gulf Custom Motors to late-night laughs and deep conversations, this trip was about more than an event—it was about connection. They talk about the new friendships formed, the southern hospitality that welcomed them in, and the time spent hanging out with Justin “Danger” Nunley and his family right in their home.

The guys also reflect on the family they’ve created with their amazing friends at Illuminix Entertainment. Arron isn’t just their manager—he’s one of their best friends, a believer who pushes them harder than they push themselves, and someone who sees the vision even bigger than they do at times. Becky, who they affectionately call “Mom”, is the glue that makes it all happen—keeping the team polished, professional, and on track while treating everyone with love and care. The whole production team of videographers and editors who help bring the stories to life. And getting to bring along a previous guest of the show and brother from another mother, Scott D. Henry, who has since become a member the Illuminix family as well! 

Add to that the excitement of a new partnerships with WAYS Energy, and the Florida trip became a milestone moment for what’s ahead.

At the heart of it all, this was a chance to unplug, recharge, and be surrounded by good people. Between the meaningful moments, the fun, and the brotherhood, this Florida trip reminded them exactly why Dad Bods & Beards exists: to build community, create connection, and shine a light on men’s mental health.

It’s real, it’s funny, it’s heartfelt—and it’s a story you won’t want to miss.
