Bill Gurley is a venture capitalist known for early investments in Uber, Grubhub, Zillow and many others. Gurley joins us to discuss "Running Down a Dream," his new book — which is full of career advice that is as surprising as it is useful.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Power of Mentorship: Why Bill feels a moral urge to share what he's learned with the world.

• The "Safe" Path Trap: Why the jobs your parents think are safe might actually be the most dangerous in the age of AI.

• The Peer Group Secret: Why sharing your best ideas with others actually makes you more successful than hoarding them.

• Finding Your Obsession: Why Bill looks for "fascination" rather than just "passion."
