Scott Roberts
Scott Roberts
★★★★★ PRO
Scott Roberts brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to leadership, purpose, and intentional living. Our conversation was engaging, authentic, and full of practical insight.

Scott has a unique ability to take life experience, including major personal challenges, and turn those lessons into meaningful guidance for others. His work through Lighthouse Coaching reflects a genuine commitment to helping people create greater clarity, direction, and purpose in both their personal and professional lives.

I appreciated Scott’s openness, his perspective on designing a more intentional life, and the way he connects leadership with personal responsibility and meaningful action. He was an excellent guest on Ask Adam Live, and I would gladly recommend him as a coach, speaker, and podcast guest.

Stever Robbins
Stever Robbins
★★★★★ PRO
Working with Stever Robbins was a genuinely enjoyable experience.

What stood out to me most was the way Stever Robbins brings intelligence, humor, curiosity, and practicality into a conversation without making things feel overly complicated.

Our discussion moved well beyond productivity and into something much more meaningful: how we decide what deserves our attention, where we invest our energy, and whether being busy is actually moving us toward the life we want to create.

Stever has an incredible ability to take complex ideas and make them understandable, useful, and sometimes even a little uncomfortable in the best possible way. He challenges you to think differently.

I appreciated his openness, his sense of humor, and his willingness to let the conversation go where it needed to go.

It was a pleasure having Stever on Ask Adam Live, and I walked away from the experience with a simple but powerful reminder:

Getting more done is not always the goal. Doing what matters is.

Thank you, Stever, for the conversation, the insight, and the experience.

The entire process was easy, except for the little glitch my internet provided to me as I was getting into the interview room. But that's just my provider playing a Halloween joke on me. The interview was a breeze. The interview questions allowed us to relate to each other well. I would recommend The Robcast Podcast for listening to, and for requesting to be a guest.

How points work

10 per recorded episode · 5 per review written · 3 per review received · +1 for each 4★ received, +2 for each 5★.

Only connections marked as recorded count, and a review only counts once its episode has been recorded. Episodes are dated when they were recorded and reviews when they were written, so the two can land in different periods. Profiles that have paused matching are not shown.
