Muhami Matters

Why does business growth stall, even when there are good people, strong clients and plenty of activity?

In this trailer for the latest episode of Muhami Matters, host Chris Adams speaks with Zaid Aboobaker, Founder and CEO of Compass Point Consulting, about why leaders need to diagnose the real cause of slowing growth before jumping into action.

They explore the warning signs behind financial, revenue, marketing and operational problems, why founders can become bottlenecks as businesses scale, and how fractional leadership can bring the senior-level perspective needed to strengthen existing teams.

The full episode of Muhami Matters is available from Monday, 24 August 2026.

A strong video strategy does not begin with filming. It begins with understanding what the business is trying to achieve.

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Robert Weiss, Founder and President of MultiVision Digital, about how lawyers, advisers and other professional services firms can use video more strategically.

Robert explains why one polished video is not a video marketing strategy, why distribution should be considered before production, and how firms can create expert-led content that supports trust, visibility, sales and long-term business development.

They also discuss:

• why professionals often feel uncomfortable on camera

• how the right preparation can help experts speak naturally

• why batch production can create far more value from a single recording session

• how firms should balance education and promotion

• where AI can help in video production

• why AI avatars are often the wrong choice when clients need to see the real expert

• how video can become a reusable digital asset that continues delivering value over time

For professional services firms, the key message is simple: do not start with the camera. Start with strategy.

Video can be one of the most powerful tools available to professional services firms, but only when it starts with the right strategy.

In this trailer for the next episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Robert Weiss, Founder and President of MultiVision Digital, about why firms should think beyond production and focus first on the business objective, audience and distribution plan.

Robert explains why one polished video is not a video marketing strategy, why professional expertise is often best communicated by real people rather than AI avatars, and how video can become a reusable digital asset that continues to create value over time.

The full episode is released on Monday 17 August 2026.

Your business has targets, systems and a strategy. But do you have the same clarity about your life?

In this episode of Muhami Matters, host Chris Adams speaks with Adam Ashcroft, founder of The Advantage Coach, exited founder, executive coach and creator of the Advantage Operating System.

Adam built and scaled an international business before exiting and confronting a very different question: what comes next when professional success is no longer enough?

Their conversation explores the personal cost of building a business, founder identity after an exit, relationships, routines, coaching, purpose and why having a plan for your life can matter just as much as having one for your business.

Adam also challenges a familiar morning habit. If the first thing you do is reach for your phone, check emails and react to notifications, whose priorities are you actually following?

The discussion covers purpose, passions and progress, building stronger personal routines, surrounding yourself with the right people, asking for help, serving others and creating what Adam describes as a practical playbook for life.

What happened when you woke up this morning?

Did you begin with your own priorities, or immediately check your phone, emails and notifications?

In this trailer, Adam Ashcroft explains why starting the day by reacting to other people’s demands can leave you living someone else’s life.

Adam joins host Chris Adams to discuss how founders and senior professionals can build a plan for life, not just a plan for business. Their full conversation explores purpose, personal routines, relationships, life after a business exit and Adam’s Advantage Operating System.

The full episode will be released on Monday 10 August 2026.

How do you build a credible personal brand without oversharing, chasing virality or sounding like everyone else?

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Imogen Pickton, founder of Imogen Grace Socials, about how she built her business through LinkedIn after finishing her A levels during the pandemic.

Imogen shares practical insights on personal branding, social media strategy, audience clarity, consistency, content creation and turning online visibility into meaningful business opportunities.

The conversation explores how professionals can create content that feels authentic, why consistency matters more than volume, how different platforms serve different purposes, and why a large audience is not valuable unless it includes the right people.

Chris and Imogen also discuss the importance of clear positioning, strong profiles, effective lead capture and creating content that helps potential clients understand how they can work with you.
