   The Next Generation at Work: What Parents and Employers Need to Know

   How can young people prepare for work when technology, qualifications and employers’ expectations keep changing? Chris Adams speaks with Maria Vitoratos, founder of MV Careers and the MV Careers Virtual Hub, about building a career strategy before education and employment decisions become urgent. Maria draws on her work in education and career development, alongside doctoral research into youth career services and employment. The conversation examines what parents can do beyond asking children what they want to be, how families can evaluate education by its intended outcomes, and why employers should help develop future talent. Maria also discusses critical thinking, entrepreneurial skills and the importance of human relevance in a workplace shaped by AI. IN THIS EPISODE Career education before school and university deadlines Parents’ assumptions and children’s exposure to work Choosing universities, vocational routes and further learning Critical thinking and the wider value of higher education AI, entrepreneurial thinking and human skills Mentoring, apprenticeships and access to employers Experience requirements for entry-level jobs The communities within the MV Careers Virtual Hub ABOUT MARIA VITORATOS Maria is the founder of MV Careers and the MV Careers Virtual Hub.

   The Next Generation at Work: What Parents and Employers Need to Know | Trailer

   A young person can have plenty of options and still have no idea what they want to do. So how can parents, educators and employers help them prepare for a changing world of work? In this trailer for Muhami Matters Episode 70, Chris Adams speaks with Maria Vitoratos, founder of MV Careers and the MV Careers Virtual Hub, about the assumptions that shape career choices and the barriers built into education and recruitment. Chris reflects on studying law despite never wanting to become a practising lawyer. Maria uses the familiar experience of looking into a well-stocked fridge and finding “nothing to eat” to explore the difference between having choices and knowing what you want. She also questions why university applications ask about parents’ education, and why some employers demand three or four years of experience for supposedly entry-level roles. The full episode, The Next Generation at Work: What Parents and Employers Need to Know, will be released on Monday, 26 October 2026.

   From Expert to Business Owner: How to Grow on Your Own Terms

   Moving from expert to business owner is not simply a change of job title. Lawyers, engineers, consultants and other specialists can be excellent at their craft yet find sales, marketing, leadership and sustainable growth unexpectedly difficult. In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams is joined by Ros Conkie, founder of The Marketing Machine Works and author of The Marketing Machine. Ros began her career as a mechanical engineer and originally dismissed marketing as "fluff". She now applies an engineering mindset to marketing, helping specialist and technical businesses build practical systems that make it easier for the right customers to understand their value. In a two-way conversation, Chris and Ros compare their experiences of working with expert-led businesses. They consider how to make business development more natural, why communicating from the buyer's perspective matters, how to reduce friction in the buying journey, and why growing bigger is not necessarily the same as building a better business. IN THIS EPISODE The difficult transition from practitioner to business owner Relationship-building, networking and feeling comfortable with sales Marketing as an integrated system, not a collection of tactics Moving from a founder's personal reputation to a business that can stand on its own Why profitability, satisfaction and sustainable growth matter more than size alone Explaining complex expertise clearly and reducing perceived buyer risk Recognising when an outside perspective can reveal blind spots The engineering approach behind Ros's book, The Marketing Machine ABOUT ROS CONKIE Ros is a former mechanical engineer, founder of The Marketing Machine Works, fractional marketing director and author. She works with technical, specialist and professional services businesses to make marketing more systematic and commercially effective.
