Damp Sam interviews the co-host of The Damp Show, Gavin Richardson (Dry Gav). Together they dive into Gav’s journey from school to his career and everything in between. Tune in to a lighthearted episode full of jokes, insights, and inspiring moments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The government want everybody to progress into higher education. University is pushing onto young people far more than trades or physical skilled qualifications.
• People who are lucky are opportunists. If you’re born in the UK you’ve won the lottery because there are opportunities to be successful everywhere.
• As soon as you finish school, doors start shutting and opportunities start fading away. When you get to 30 you need to learn how to create your own opportunities.
• Opportunities don’t come knocking often and when they do they don’t kick the door down.

BEST MOMENTS

“I was good at everything but I never really had a plan and I never applied myself.”

“I once got a detention for not throwing a snow ball.”

“You manifest your own luck.”

“If my career officer had shown me the path to earning money I would be much better off.”
