In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel chats with David Roberts, the real-life bodyguard to Whitney Houston, whose professional relationship with her inspired the legendary film The Bodyguard. His new memoir, Protecting Whitney, details his years of protecting one of the greatest voices in history—on stage, in the spotlight, and behind closed doors.

Roberts was hired in 1988 for Whitney’s Moment of Truth World Tour, and what started as a professional assignment turned into a deeply personal and emotional journey. From the awe of witnessing her talent up close to the heartbreak of watching those around her put profits over her well-being, David gives us a raw, unfiltered look at life inside Whitney Houston’s world. He shares stories of security threats, intimate moments of trust, and the profound connection they shared—one that went beyond the job description.

We also ask the questions that linger between the lines of his book. Did David love Whitney in a way even he hasn’t fully admitted? Was their connection purely professional, or was there ever a moment of “What if?” Join us for an intimate and revealing conversation with a man who didn’t just protect Whitney—he cared for her in a way few ever could.

SLO Delicious Week 5 - Celebrating Black Sheep & Café Roma

SLO Restaurant Month may have wrapped up, but the celebration of local food never stops! In this episode of SLO Delicious, we reflect on the incredible flavors and stories behind two standout restaurants in San Luis Obispo: Black Sheep and Café Roma.

First, we chat with Myriam from Black Sheep, a gastropub that has become a beloved staple in SLO. She shares the restaurant’s history, how it has evolved over the years, and her philosophy on crafting a great food-and-drink experience.

Then, we sit down with Marco Rizzo from Café Roma, a family-run Italian institution that has been serving the community for decades. Marco dives into the legacy of Café Roma, the balance of tradition and innovation in Italian cuisine, and what makes their dishes truly special.

Even though Restaurant Month has ended, there’s no reason to stop exploring and supporting these fantastic spots. Join us as we celebrate the passion and dedication behind SLO’s food scene.

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with Paola Pedroza, an actress, TV host, and certified medium, to talk about her podcast Ghost Therapy—where she channels messages from the other side to bring comfort to her guests.

Now, Adam’s a skeptic. He’s not looking to be convinced, but he is looking to understand. And that’s exactly what this conversation is about—curiosity without an agenda, respect without the need to agree.

Paola shares how her abilities first manifested when she was a child, how she transitioned from mainstream media to mediumship, and what she believes happens when we die. Plus, Adam asks a question that’s been on his mind: Can spirits themselves be hesitant—or even skeptical—about making contact? Because if the living can have doubts, why not the dead?

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just here for the ride, it’s worth checking out!

In this episode of Up+Adam, we’re diving deep into the changing world of work with someone who truly knows the hiring game inside and out. Andrew Seaman, Editor-at-Large for Job Search & Careers at LinkedIn and host of Get Hired, joins Adam to discuss the latest Jobs on the Rise report and what it reveals about the future of work. AI-focused roles are taking over, but is AI really the golden ticket? 

Nearly half of the top-growing jobs didn’t exist 25 years ago—so how do you stay ahead of the curve? And with job seekers applying more but hearing back less, what are they doing wrong? Andrew shares practical, no-BS advice on how to stand out in today’s ultra-competitive job market, plus an inside look at LinkedIn’s new job match feature and how it might just change the way we apply for jobs forever.

In this episode of Up+Adam, we sit down with Marco Rizzo of Cafe Roma, a restaurant that has been a cornerstone of San Luis Obispo’s dining scene for over four decades.

We explore their signature dishes, like house-made ravioli and short rib ragu, as well as Marco’s philosophy on curating a wine list that honors both Italian tradition and the local Central Coast wine scene. Marco also shares insights into the diversity of Italian cuisine and why salt water is the secret to perfect pasta.

On this episode of Up+Adam, we’re joined by John Kim, a best-selling author, licensed therapist, and the voice behind The Angry Therapist. We originally had this interview scheduled weeks ago, but the day before our conversation, we got the devastating news that John’s house had burned down in the Eaton Fire. In today’s episode, John shares his reflections on that life-changing event and the raw, emotional journey of starting over.

But the heart of our conversation is about his latest book, Break Up On Purpose. In it, John challenges the conventional view of breakups, reframing them as opportunities to rediscover yourself, redefine your life, and emerge stronger than before. Whether you’re navigating the end of a relationship, rethinking love, or simply curious about how to grow through life’s toughest moments, this episode is full of actionable insights and heartfelt wisdom.
