This is our full interview with Bill Gurley, recorded live on TBPN.

We discuss his new book, why “high agency” and hyper-curiosity are the ultimate long-term edge (especially with AI as a self-learning superpower), and why the real risk for young people is mistaking financial speculation for durable skill-building while the best opportunity is using AI to become the most knowledgeable person in your field.

TBPN is a live tech talk show hosted by John Coogan and Jordi Hays, streaming weekdays from 11–2 PT on X and YouTube, with full episodes posted to podcast platforms immediately after.

Described by The New York Times as “Silicon Valley’s newest obsession,” TBPN has recently featured Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Mark Cuban, and Satya Nadella.
