In this episode, we sit down with Bill Gurley (legendary Benchmark partner; early investor in Uber, Zillow, Grubhub) to talk about his new book Runnin’ Down a Dream and the principles behind building a career you actually want. Bill breaks down why so many people feel stuck on the “college-to-safe-job conveyor belt,” and why mid-career can be the best time to make a change - if you approach it with the right mindset. We dig into the difference between low agency (AI feels terrifying) and high agency (AI becomes jet fuel), and Bill shares a practical framework for exploring your next chapter without blowing up your life overnight. In this conversation, we cover: Why career regret is so common, and how to reverse it Bill’s “Never Too Late” philosophy for mid-career reinvention How to build a “dream job folder” and test your next path before you leap The smartest way to use mentors, peers, and aspirational models Bill’s blunt advice on AI: you can’t stop it, so learn to wield it If you’re navigating burnout, uncertainty, or the feeling that your work isn’t you anymore, this episode is a permission slip + a playbook.
