Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Social Mobility is difficult but possible
“A premise of the book is that the author is stating his experiences to inform and inspire others. It’s intended as a case study to say it’s not easy but it’s possible”
Social Mobility takes Social Capital and Cultural Capital
“It could be argued that social mobility is a journey of acquiring social capital and cultural capital; this book is how and why you should accumulate social capital and cultural capital to become socially mobile”
Social Mobility takes Confidence and Competence
“Enjoyable, entertaining and also frustrating ; it describes confidence as a quality that can be learned and developed but also it’s not always justified”
