Two very different worlds—music and golf—but a surprisingly similar mindset behind success.

Grammy Award‑winning artist Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men and viral golf personality Fat Perez (Bob Does Sports) join Hidden Florida & Beyond for a unique back‑to‑back episode recorded in the Bahamas at the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation Celebrity Invitational.

Shawn kicks things off with a conversation that goes far beyond the stage. With more than three decades in one of the most iconic R&B groups of all time, he reflects on longevity, staying relevant, and what it actually takes to keep a group together that long. He opens up about life on the road, the reality of Vegas residencies, and how the dynamic within Boyz II Men has evolved into something more like a long‑term marriage than a band.

He also talks about stepping into new territory—launching his own podcast, learning guitar later in life, and embracing a mindset where you stop overthinking and just go for it. Whether it’s performing nightly, protecting his voice, or building meaningful relationships in the industry, his perspective is grounded in experience and shaped by years of navigating both the highs and pressures of success.

The second half shifts gears with Fat Perez, one of the most recognizable faces in golf content today. What started as a casual life playing golf and working as an accountant quickly turned into a full-time career thanks to viral YouTube success.

Perez breaks down why his content resonates—focusing less on perfect golf and more on the experience, camaraderie, and relatability that everyday players connect with. He shares how golf teaches patience, integrity, and how to handle both wins and losses—lessons that carry over far beyond the course.

Along the way, he talks about building a brand unexpectedly, navigating sudden internet fame, and why being authentic is what drives real growth in today’s content landscape.
