Each week, The Why Word gets under the skin of entrepreneurs, business leaders, creatives and people who make things happen to find out what makes them tick. Presented by Ian Hawkins.

Adam Pearson is a human rights campaigner and actor, appearing opposite Scarlett Johanssen in Under The Skin. We discuss the misconceptions that can stop disabled people from achieving their career goals - and why 'taking a risk' is really no risk at all. 

Adam's lunch companion is currently the world's most in-demand actor.

The Why Word is a TBD Media Group Production
