In a November 2024 podcast with the University of Florida Department of Emergency Medicine, Roberts discussed his background as a former Olympic pole vaulter, including winning a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Games and setting a world record in 1976. He described his transition to medicine, noting he graduated in 1973, completed prerequisites at the University of Florida, and entered medical school on his first try.

He referenced his experience collaborating with tradespeople on a celebrity home project, stating he learned to "collaborate with people and end up with a better solution." Roberts has also spoken about the power of vision in business, asserting that vision fuels wellness and that individuals should clarify their own goals rather than serving "injected goals." In a 2012 TEDx talk, he argued that climate change emissions must peak and begin falling within 5-10 years to stabilize global temperatures, and he described the challenge as being "stuck between the impossible and the unthinkable."
