Adam Mokhtar runs Diogel an architecture company in North Wales. But Adam has had a very varied career, ranging from preacher to playing guitar in a rock band that performed at the Manchester MEN Arena.

As you would expect in a conversation about the transferability of skills Adam and host Michael Millward discuss a wide range of subjects as they explore how understanding the skills you have can open doors.

It is not all plain sailing for Adam. He also discusses the hardships that he has experienced, and how these have added to his transferable skillset.

Looking to the future Adam also explains how he intends to raise his sons so that they also enter the workforce understanding how to learn new skills and unlearn old skills so that they can enjoy continuous employment.
