Five years later, they're still the best of friends, proving that even the most unexpected circumstances can lead to lifelong bonds.

Amanda and Caylin met at a special education school in Nashville, and became co-teachers of the most challenging, yet rewarding classroom ever.

Dominic is the brother you want by your side when you’re ready to make memories—and maybe a few questionable decisions. As his older brother, Dom’s been there through it all: from epic backyard adventures to flashlight tag that ended in scraped knees, or choosing just the right beer, one can guarantee the good times when with Dom.

Under all the sarcasm is someone with a heart of gold. The kind of brother anyone would be lucky to have.

Cory is Brian’s younger cousin and one of his closest confidants. While they weren’t particularly close growing up, everything changed in 2020 when the world slowed down and everyone found themselves stuck inside—and online.

There isn’t a topic under the sun they haven’t explored together. Both share a deep curiosity about life and a drive to constantly grow—pushing each other to be better and always celebrating each other’s wins.
