About this episode
Up+Adam for March 30, 2026 Sponsored by PortabidetIf you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, yours, someone else's, or the one playing out on your screen right now, this episode is for you. Adam sits down with Ben Higgins, the man America met on Season 20 of The Bachelor, and what unfolds is something far more interesting than a rose ceremony recap. Ben opens up about what vulnerability actually taught him on national television, how imposter syndrome doesn't care how famous you are, and why the moment fame stopped filling him up became one of the most important moments of his life.They get into Ben's podcast If You Can Hear Me, a show built on the belief that the secular and the sacred can sit in the same room and have an honest conversation, and what he has learned from guests walking through grief, loss, and the kind of pain that doesn't have a clean ending. Ben also pulls back the curtain on Generous Coffee Company, a business where every dollar of profit goes straight to social good, and why radical transparency is the only way a purpose-driven brand earns real trust.And then there is The Bachelor franchise. Ben was there when the show was about love. He watched it become about drama. And now, with Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette season pulled just days before its premiere amid multiple domestic violence investigations, the conversation about what the franchise has become and what it cost is one Ben is uniquely positioned to have. This one goes there.Ben Higgins on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/higgins.benIf You Can Hear Me Podcast on iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-if-you-can-hear-me-319562960Generous Coffee Company: https://www.
