In this new episode of The Determined Society, Shawn French sits down with Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker for a heartfelt conversation on FuelFest, Paul Walker’s legacy, Reach Out Worldwide, cars, music, community, faith, family, and what it means to build something bigger than yourself. Tyrese and Cody open up about the mission behind FuelFest, a global celebration of car culture, music, motorsports, and human connection. What started as a simple idea has grown into an international movement that brings people from every background together while helping support Reach Out Worldwide, the disaster relief organization founded by Paul Walker. Cody reflects on honoring his brother’s heart, continuing the work Paul cared deeply about, and helping carry that torch forward after his passing.
