    SFN Dad To Dad 420 - Rob Floyd of Franklin, TN A High Profile Mixologist, TV Personality & Father Of Five, Including One Moyamoya
    Mar 6 2026
    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.
