More Than a Talk Show: Montel Williams Rewrites History and is Up+Adam

from Up + Adam with Adam Montiel · host Adam Montiel

Montel Williams is Up+Adam! What happens when a 36,000-ton aircraft carrier gets torpedoed in WWII, its rudder jammed, and it starts spinning helplessly in enemy waters? In most timelines, it’s the end of the story. But in Montel Williams’ new book The Sailing of the Intrepid, it’s just the beginning.On today’s episode, Adam welcomes Montel…yes, that Montel for a conversation that’s part history, part masterclass in resilience. They dive into the wild true tale of the USS Intrepid, the crew that refused to surrender, and the 3,000-square-foot sail that steered her 3,000 miles home. Along the way, Montel opens up about his own “rudder jam” moments, from surviving a stroke to reimagining what heroism really means after decades in uniform and under the lights.Whether you’re a history buff, a military mind, or someone just trying to sail through chaos, this one’s for you.• Buy the Book The Sailing of the Intrepid by Montel Williams & David Fisher • Follow Montel Instagram Twitter/X Website********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:Official Website: adammontiel.comApple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Up+Adam on SpotifyiHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadioYouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!********ADAM’S TEDX VIDEO IS HERE!********FOLLOW ADAM ON INSTAGRAM*********Sincere Thanks to the supporters of Up + Adam.
