Gurley says people avoid industry epicenters fearing competition, but there are way more jobs and learning becomes easier there.
“Peers are easier. They're all around all the time. It's people, I think, don't do it because they fear it's too much competition, but there's also way more jobs.”
Gurley cites Dan Gilbert who became more known for side hustles than core jobs, creating Microsoft Garage as example.
“In almost every case, he ended up becoming known more for the side hustle than the core job.”
Gurley argues current moment offers unprecedented learning speed, making AI an advantage for continuous learners.
“And so if you're constantly learning, honing, if you're figuring out how to get AI to help you be more productive, you're gonna have even better chance of winning.”
