Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maria Garcia: Why Pop Culture Matters | Muy Excited | Up+Adam
Q: You've spent your career giving intellectual and emotional weight to fandoms like Britney Spears, Selena, and Ricky Martin. Who decided that the things ordinary people love aren't serious subjects?
The guest explains that dismissing pop culture comes from elitism and the false hierarchy between highbrow and lowbrow culture; culture in all its forms deserves study because it reflects personal and societal norms.
Director Daniel Stamm: Inside Lockbox, The Last Exorcism and the Psychology of Horror Films | Up+Adam
Q: What role does audience belief play in crafting fear?
Believing by the audience is the faucet that turns fear on; if they can feel understood and supported by a character, their fear becomes more personal and substantial.
Director Daniel Stamm: Inside Lockbox, The Last Exorcism and the Psychology of Horror Films | Up+Adam
Q: How do you decide whether to ground a horror story in psychological or supernatural explanations?
I'm drawn to the psychological because it feels like a believable set of rules; the supernatural can work, but it needs a consistent framework that the audience has followed from the start.
Paso Robles Distillery Trail Weekend: Whiskey Business, Coffee Liqueur and a Spirited Escape | Up+Adam
Q: What makes the Distillery Trail weekend unique for attendees?
It brings together multiple distilleries for a common weekend, offering tastings, tours, food, and special experiences like the Copper Card, allowing visitors to explore diverse styles and meet the people behind the bottles.
Steven Herring: Pt 2 Local Serial Entrepreneur on Discipline, Leadership, and Systems Shape Better Leaders | Up+Adam
Q: How do you manage personal discipline with family life?
Integrate disciplined routines as a shared value, communicate openly with family, and ensure self-care practices (like early workouts and mental health check-ins) support overall wellbeing and business energy.
