We were thrilled to welcome back Nurse Gabby for her second appearance on the Buckle Up Podcast! A fan favorite, Gabby always brings heart, honesty, and valuable insight.

In this episode, she dives deeper into the world of nursing — sharing advice on working at union vs. non-union hospitals, navigating workplace challenges, and supporting fellow nurses.

Beyond nursing, Gabby opens up about relationships, offering thoughtful guidance on dating and maintaining healthy connections. She also educates us on peptides — explaining what they are, how they work, and why they matter for health and wellness.

It was truly a wonderful and enlightening conversation. We’re so grateful to have Nurse Gabby back on the show!

1. Real Crime Profile Podcast 2. Best Case Worst Case Podcast

Jim Clemente is a dear friend of mine—someone I’ve known for over a decade since we first met while I was working as Agent Rush on Criminal Minds. Jim is a retired FBI agent who served as a behavioral analyst, and during his time with the Bureau, he worked on some of the most high-profile cases in recent history.

In this episode, Jim shares incredible stories from his career, including his work on the D.C. Sniper case and other major investigations. We also dive into his remarkable journey in television and film—Jim served as a writer, producer, and technical advisor on Criminal Minds and has produced numerous TV shows and movies.

Jim is also a pioneer in the true crime podcast world. He talks about his hit shows Best Case, Worst Case and Real Crime Profile—both of which have reached the top five podcasts in the world. His insights into criminal profiling, real-life cases, and behind-the-scenes stories are unmatched.

If you’ve ever watched a true crime documentary or listened to a crime podcast, chances are you’ve seen or heard Jim. In this powerful conversation, he opens up not only about his professional life but also shares personal stories about his family and what drives him to keep telling these important stories.

It was truly an honor to have him on the show.

 Randy “KEL1ST” Rodriguez: A True Pioneer of Hip-Hop and Street Art Cultureiiiuuu

On this episode of the Buckle Up Podcast Universe, we had the honor of sitting down with Randy “KEL1ST” Rodriguez, a living legend and cultural icon in the world of graffiti and street art. Born and raised in New York City, Randy quickly rose to prominence during the graffiti revolution of the 1970s, becoming a master of “Wild Style” lettering and a key figure in the birth of Hip-Hop culture.

Randy shared his incredible story of coming up in New York — how he grew up in the Bronx but built deep connections in Brooklyn, breaking down barriers and uniting people from different backgrounds through his art. As a proud Puerto Rican artist, he spoke about how he was embraced in neighborhoods that might have seemed unlikely at the time, earning respect as a true man of the people.

We explored his journey working on thousands of trains across New York City, his role as a collaborator who brought together artists from every corner of the city, and how that spirit of unity and innovation helped shape the culture we know today. His work was featured in the cult classic film STYLE WARS, and he remains a respected member of the legendary ROCSTARS crew.

Randy reflected on the artists who came before him, those he worked alongside, and the new generation he continues to inspire — always striving to keep the culture alive and thriving. From galleries and auctions around the world to a permanent place in the Brooklyn Museum of Art, his legacy is undeniable.

This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone chasing their dreams, and especially for young people looking for guidance on how to build community, honor their roots, and leave a lasting impact.

Jessie Imundi @jessieconfidential @stormridermovie 

Today on the Buckle Up Podcast Universe, we were honored to sit down with the amazing Jessie Imundi, executive producer and visionary behind the upcoming film Stormrider: Legends of Hammerhead.

Jessie shared the inspiring story behind the film—how it came to life, its recent premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and the excitement leading up to its Christmas Day theatrical release. But beyond the movie, it was Jessie’s faith-filled journey that truly moved us.

She spoke about being raised by her incredible grandmother and how her deep-rooted faith in God has guided her in every step—through life, business, and relationships. From divine encounters to walking through invisible walls of fear, Jessie reminded us all what it means to lead with faith and purpose.

This episode was more than just a conversation—it was a blessing.

 New Episode: Roberta Sparta — From Milan to the Stars

Today, we had a wonderful and inspiring conversation with the incredible Roberta Sparta, a multi-talented actress, model, producer, and director originally from Italy.

Roberta shared her remarkable journey — from being discovered while shopping in Italy to modeling in Milan, doing international commercials, and ultimately pursuing her dream of acting. Backed by supportive parents who ran their own fashion business, she took a bold leap and auditioned in London for a prestigious acting school… which led her straight to Los Angeles, where we met as classmates.

Now with a thriving career in Hollywood, Roberta opened up about her powerful work ethic and what it’s really like to chase the American dream. One of her biggest highlights? Landing the role of Princess Leia Organa’s aunt in Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. She walks us through that surreal moment of being cast and what it meant to be part of such a legendary universe.

We also talked about her recent trip to Cannes, where her latest film was featured, and how she’s continuing to expand her work as a producer and director. She even dropped a powerful gem, likening her production style to Tom Brady — someone who thrives “in the pocket and under pressure.”

This episode is full of heart, hustle, and Hollywood dreams. Buckle up — it’s a great one.

Today’s Guest: Austin Scott 

It was an honor having Austin Scott on the Buckle Up Podcast Universe today. This one was extra special — our families go way back. When I was in college, Austin was just a kid growing up, and now he’s a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina — just like me. Gamecocks for life!

Austin earned his degree in Business with a minor in Social Media Marketing, and he’s already building something amazing with his photography company. We had a meaningful conversation about faith, family, and future. He shared the story of his journey, his entrepreneurial vision, and how staying grounded has helped him thrive.

This one brought back memories too. Every Wednesday during college, we’d all have dinner at his grandmother’s house — Sister Scott’s. Our families were like one big family, and those nights were sacred. Now, seeing Austin step into his own path and chase his dreams is truly inspiring.

The future is bright for this young king. Tune in, support his journey, and let’s keep building legacies.
