Episode 167 of the Check Your Six podcast brought a great guest back into the studio, Adrian Thacker of Proficiency Backgrounds. This is Part 1 of 4 where we start start to build on creating a podcast for Adrian about his industry. It has been a little over 4 years since he was in the first time and things have changed quite a bit for him, his business and the industry. We talked about why he decided to move into the arena and not the engineering that he loved, but an experience that he had in an employment process really changed the course of his life. He determined that what he went through is a struggle that more people that we realize face and especially those from lower income backgrounds, may not have the ability to fight. I thoroughly enjoyed having Adrian in the studio for these sessions and I can't wait to hear what he has coming in 2026. You can find out more about him on his website, https://proficiencybackground.com/, this isn't your daddy's old style background checks, this is cutting edge.
