David Roberts - former Whitney Houston bodyguard and author of Protecting Whitney Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

ABOUT DAVID ROBERTS AND PROTECTING WHITNEY
David Roberts was Whitney Houston's bodyguard, the real one.
Roberts was hired in 1988 for Houston's UK portion of the Moment of Truth world tour. Accustomed to working for diplomats and Fortune 500 clients, Roberts had reservations about working with a pop star. But Houston's heart of gold won him over from the moment they met at Heathrow airport.
There's a high bar for those who work in this business: you must be willing to die for your boss. Houston made that easy. Roberts got to travel the globe with one of the most fun-loving and generous souls he'd ever met. His memoir reveals heartwarming anecdotes of life with one of the world's most recognizable stars, including privately shared moments such as the birth of Bobbi Kristina.
But there are also shocking and heartbreaking revelations. Roberts was present for some of Houston's most challenging ordeals. And he was helpless as he watched those who claimed to love and support her look the other way because they saw her voice box as a cash machine.
His heart was ultimately shattered as he witnessed her succumb to the one threat he could not protect her from: herself.
ABOUT DAVID ROBERTS
David Roberts served in the Royal Air Force Police, became a police-trained sniper, and served as a sergeant on the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department of the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard. He was a professional bodyguard for twenty-five years. Roberts continues his work as a management consultant in security and investigations and remains active in the field of risk management and loss prevention. He lives in Florida.

Matt Taylor - How powerlifting can help you to find your strongest self Jan 18, 2025

Show notes

Matt Taylor’s journey with strength training began just before his 13th birthday when he decided to pick up a barbell to transform his 99-lb frame. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into a passion for powerlifting—a sport that not only allowed him to get stronger but also gave him a newfound sense of confidence. For the first time, Matt found himself excelling in a sport, which sparked a deeper sense of purpose.A few years into his powerlifting journey, Matt set a national squat record and, in 2014, claimed victory in his division at powerlifting worlds. The shift from feeling “invisible” to being recognized for his achievements gave him a perspective that would later define his career.In 2022, Matt faced a life-altering diagnosis of an autoimmune condition that forced him to let go of his dream of squatting 500 lbs and deadlifting 600 lbs. Reflecting on his earlier training, he realized that his approach sometimes relied too heavily on the idea that "time was on his side." This realization fueled his passion for coaching, as he committed himself to helping others avoid the mistakes he made in his lifting journey.Since 2014, Matt has coached over 4,000 lifters, focusing on those who want to channel their inner athlete while balancing their gym time with family, work, and other responsibilities. His unique coaching approach helps athletes achieve personal records at their first powerlifting meets while spending less than five hours a week in the gym.Beyond coaching, Matt offers valuable insights to help people rediscover their passion for lifting and set meaningful goals. He also shares his knowledge with a community group of over 4,000 members and through his Instagram, providing inspiration and guidance to lifters around the world.
