Why ‘Playing It Safe’ In Your Career Doesn’t Pay with VC Bill Gurley

Bill Gurley, accomplished venture capitalist, longtime Silicon
Valley “worrywart,” and early Uber backer, joins Kara Swisher to
discuss how to build a career you love and the tech industry’s
sharp turn to the right. Gurley’s new book Runnin’ Down a
Dream, guides readers on how to find and nurture a truly fulfilling
career — and his advice is the polar opposite of Scott
Galloway’s “follow your talent, not your passion.” Kara and
Bill talk about how to find your fascination, and why the best
careers are built through craft, peers, mentors, and a willingness
to start at the bottom. They also dig into AI-related job loss
anxiety and Gurley’s growing focus on public policy — from
regulatory capture to the concentration of power in the Mag 7.
Plus: an expert question from Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
