The people
Meet Rob & Kris
An expert and an interviewer — the authority who’s lived it, and the guide who draws it out. Together they make the room feel safe enough for a real shift.
Rob · Resident expert & coach
The “health + wealth” guide
Rob has spent about fifty years across the table from CEOs, couples, and individuals, and the last twenty as a life and wellness coach — following his own transformation at 55.
In his mid-fifties, facing a serious health crossroads, Rob went from roughly 300 to 172 pounds and brought his A1C from around 10 to under 6 in about ninety days. He’s open about the struggles behind that turn — and it’s exactly that lived experience, paired with decades of business consulting, that lets him coach at the intersection of health and wealth.
His approach centers on character, self-mastery, personal responsibility, and mutual respect — always inside a warm, judgment-free space. The belief underneath all of it: it’s never too late to begin.

Kris · Producer & co-host
Your voice in the room
Kris is the producer of Shift Happens Here and Rob’s co-pilot on a journey of growth, resilience, and possibility. She opens every episode and keeps it human — asking the questions you’d ask, drawing Rob out, and making sure each conversation lands somewhere you can use.
With a background spanning business, public health, project management, and communications, Kris has seen firsthand the challenges people face — from health concerns and financial pressures to relationship struggles and life’s unexpected setbacks. Through all of it, she stays inspired by the resilience of the human spirit, and the hope people hold onto even in the hardest times.
When Rob — a longtime family friend and business associate — shared his vision for the show, Kris saw a chance to help create something with real impact. Together, they launched Shift Happens Here.
She brings empathy, intuition, kindness, and humor to every conversation, creating a welcoming space where stories become insights, challenges become opportunities, and listeners are inspired to take their next step forward.
Why the two of them, together
Expert + interviewer
Rob brings the experience and the hard-won story — the teaching, and the coaching itself. Kris brings the curiosity and the care, keeping every conversation human and making sure it lands somewhere you can use. One without the other is only half a show.
