He opens up about his time as the original host of Cheaters, what that chapter taught him about human behavior, and how it shaped the deeply empathetic lens he brings to his work today. Together, Adam and Tommy explore the emotional terrain of second chances, what animals can teach us about healing, and why "adopt, don't shop" is more urgent now than ever.Whether you’re an animal lover, a fan of Tommy’s past work, or someone looking for some unexpected inspiration this season, this is a conversation that will stay with you.• Watch To the Rescue: https://totherescue.tv • Follow Tommy Habeeb on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tommyhabeeb • Subscribe to To the Rescue on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVucVLlcH4vCUwadflUeIyw • Find a shelter near you: https://theshelterpetproject.org/shelters • Support Woods Humane Society: https://www.woodshumanesociety.org********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 current supporters of Up + Adam.
