About the Show
More Than an Interview. A Celebration.
Spotlight on Good People was created by Robert DiLella Jr. — whose father, Robert DiLella Sr., founded Robert of Philadelphia Salons in Naples in 1980 — to shine a light on the unsung heroes who define the identity and quality of life in Naples and Southwest Florida.
This is a show about this community, for this community. Every guest lives here, works here, and is part of what makes Southwest Florida extraordinary. That's not a coincidence — it's the whole point.
This isn't a formal interview. It's a relaxed, armchair-style conversation where we explore your story, your impact, and who you really are. Our community wants to know you — not just your résumé.
Every guest is nominated by someone who believes their story matters. That means you're already part of a circle of people making a real difference. We're here to amplify it.
Everything You Receive as a Guest
We're deeply grateful you're sharing your story. Here's exactly what's included — all complimentary, all yours.
A Complete Afternoon of Pampering
Prosecco, a head, neck and shoulder massage, and a full hair makeover — all on us at Robert of Philadelphia. Schedule it before or after your recording, whichever works. If you'd prefer your significant other to enjoy it instead, that's welcome too. Marina will personally coordinate everything.
Robert of Philadelphia Products
A curated selection of ROP salon products to take home — a tangible piece of the Robert of Philadelphia family.

How It Works

Step 04: Receive Your Assets and Enjoy Your Perks
Your episode is published two to five weeks after recording. You'll receive all your media assets as soon as it's formatted. Marina will also follow up to coordinate your complimentary pampering experience.
