Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

Casual discrimination can be about who get’s “talked up” not just “talked down”

” in the example I gave it’s not that this black person gets talked down. They fail to get talked up. If you don’t get talked up you’re at a disadvantage “

Some people get to be average and still win at work

” Is there a class of person who gets to be mediocre and this is portrayed as being acceptable? I’m not talking about outstanding performance. I’m talking average at best.”

It’s your turn to “talk someone up”

“You’ve got work to do and you’re going to get an even bigger result.”
