From Childhood Friends to Founders ft. Skill Sync | Prime Pursuit Properties Podcast | Episode 6

In Episode 6 of the Prime Pursuit Properties Podcast, founder Shabab Mortuza sits down with his childhood friend Abdullah Al Ahmed, Director and CEO of Skill Sync. This is a different kind of episode. It is not a highlight reel, and it is not a sales pitch. It is the kind of catch-up the two of them usually have when nobody is recording: grounded, honest and personal. Two friends since school. Both moved to Australia. Both worked 9 to 5. Both eventually started their own companies. In this episode: *How both of them arrived in Australia as international students and built careers before starting their own businesses *Why Abdullah started Skill Sync, and why helping the next generation of students matters to him *Why Shabab left a corporate finance career, and why wealth building is really about buying time and freedom *What the first months in business were really like, from the sleepless nights to the lonely early days *The role partners, family and friends played in taking the leap of faith *Whether anyone can research a suburb or a course themselves with AI, and why advice built around your own situation still matters *Why a professional asks you questions first, and what the strategy session at Prime Pursuit is built around *Why you pay experts for their time and experience, not only for the task *Their visions for the next chapter, and why retiring was never the real goal *A rapid fire round to finish For both of them, it was never about the money. It was about helping the person who is in the shoes they used to be in.
