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.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDaily EV LIST PRICES FALL AS GAS GUZZLER PRICES RISENew EV list prices (excluding Tesla) dropped 2.3%, or roughly $1,500, from an average of $63,327 in September 2025 to $61,860 in January 2026, while average new gas-powered vehicle prices rose 2.5% to $47,427 over the same period. The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.
Peter Rosenberg joins the show to discuss everything in the sports world including the latest news around the Commanders.

Send a textA simple moment at a coffee shop, an unexpected Uber arrival, and a realization in the mirror all led to a deeper truth: not every life is a basic order, and not every delay means you're behind. Some things take longer because they are more layered.In this episode, we explore readiness, emotional capacity, and how repeated experiences can quietly harden our essence without us even noticing. We talk about how we become mirrors for each other, how growth can feel confronting, and why perception isn't always truth.This is a reminder that your life is not late — it is being prepared. Your timing is not behind, and the person you are becoming is not “too much.” You are simply being shaped for a life that requires depth, awareness, intention, and the strength to evolve without losing your softness, your standards, and your essence along the way.Support the show

I told one small lie… and somehow ended up orchestrating three full blown ambushes across the city of Dallas. What started as a simple girls trip turned into wigs, disguises, fake Instacart drivers, a sign spinning maniac outside a restaurant, and an Uber driver blasting mariachi music while swerving to the beat. I had to keep everyone separated, stagger flights from the same city, invent a connection to Troy Aikman, and pray nobody compared notes. It was chaos. The fun kind. Bret's here too… This one is messy, loud, and very on brand for what happens when women who've known each other for decades refuse to act their age.

Dr. Per Bylund contrasts the futility of politics with the quiet power of entrepreneurship, showing how innovative businesses like Uber and Amazon actually dismantle regulations, reshape institutions, and push the state back more effectively than any protest movement or election.Recorded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on February 21, 2026.

Someday soon your Uber could arrive with no one in the driver's seat, and a Kiwi's tech is behind the shift. UK self-driving company Wayve, spearheaded by Alex Kendall, has secured $1.5 billion in capital to support to the commercial roll out of their ‘Robotaxis'. The funding round also includes backing from Mercedes, Nissan, Microsoft and Nvidia, while local VC Icehouse Ventures is contributing $12.5 million to the capital raise. Kendall told Mike Hosking there's a couple of different ways to commercialise self-driving technology – creating your own cars, running your own fleets, or licensing the technology. Wayve is using the third option, and he says the AI they've built is so flexible that it will be able to bring self-driving technology worldwide.

Al's on today's proper jaw-dropper: London doctors announce a UK first — a baby born after a womb transplant from a deceased donor. Then it's back to the paperwork side of the future as the government drags Netflix, Prime Video and the rest into tougher Ofcom-style rules. After the break, Uber tries to become the backstage crew for robotaxis everywhere, scientists reveal a new way to see DNA's 3D structure, Fallout 4 goes portable on Switch 2, and Firefox does something radical: it gives you an AI off switch.

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.

We throw the notes out the window and just hit record the second Rhonda walks in the door — because we were in two different states all weekend and somehow didn't actually talk about any of it until now. Rhonda breaks down her girls' trip to Athens, Georgia for a Bailey Zimmerman concert, complete with rainy plans, Parents' Weekend crowds, questionable hotel choices, and an Uber ride that felt like the opening scene of a horror movie (but, spoiler, everyone survives). Meanwhile, Jeremy's weekend turns into a full-on Disney-to-DC sprint: Hollywood Studios and EPCOT festival bites, a detour to Disney Springs with friends, a peek at a two-person DVC tower studio at Riviera with a killer Spaceship Earth view, and a stop at Cake Bake Shop that ends with banana pudding magic. And then… it's off property chaos time. Think: smoky lobby, system outage, no key card, a toilet that won't flush, and a very real “time is money” reminder that ties right back into our on-property vs off-property debate from last episode.

What started in 2016 as a frustrating observation while driving for Uber turned into a seven-figure business operating in 80+ cities globally. After losing everything in real estate during the 2008 crash, driving a New York City yellow cab, and grinding through years of failed ventures, Nelson bootstrapped Kidmoto with just a few hundred dollars and two car seats. Today, the company has completed over 40,000 rides and reached a $25M valuation—without raising outside capital.

In my conversation with Bill Gurley, we explore what it really means to pursue your dream career—without a zero-sum mindset. Bill shares why your peers can become your greatest mentors, how rejection is often a sign of growth, and why continuous learning embracing AI is the key to future-proofing your career. As a general partner at Benchmark, Bill has influenced transformative companies like Uber, Zillow, OpenTable, Grubhub, Stitch Fix, and Snapchat. In his book Runnin' Down a Dream, he encourages readers to reflect regularly, take courageous leaps, and pay attention to what energizes them outside of work.

Introduction“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” — Irina Dunn, 1970I heard about the movement of decentering men on TikTok. With zero expectations, I decided to try it out for a month. It was October 2025. I was sick of dating apps and about to publish my second book. I'd been single for three years, but this was something different. I'm here to tell you everything about it and share all the reasons why I'm never going back.I wrote this article to give us, women, a blueprint for how to be the main character in our own lives. Our mothers and grandmothers couldn't teach us this; they depended on men (financially) to survive, and had to center them accordingly. This article is not about hating men; it's about unlearning the ways that the patriarchy has trained us to prioritize making men happy. This pressure comes just as much from the women in our lives (aunties, influencers, our mother), as from men. After all, it was my mother who let my brother get away with never doing the dishes after dinner.Starting this process for the first time scared me. I was worried that if I stopped trying to date men, I was giving up on my dream of becoming a mother. Yet as I began to decenter men, I realized that my idea of motherhood was purely a fantasy. Facing the reality of motherhood, those statistics scared me much more. In this article, I will cover everything I've learned from the internet, economists, and my own experience, so that you can decide whether decentering men and trying it for a month to start is right for you. Let's begin!

In this incredibly candid conversation, Nikki Krishnamurthy (Chief People Officer at Uber) joins Jessica Neal (former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix) to discuss the high-stakes reality of leading people through crisis, transformation, and the AI revolution.Nikki opens up about the "Strategic Calmness" required to navigate Uber's most turbulent years, from handling global layoffs to dismantling a culture of leaks and entitlement. She shares the internal mechanics of her 13-year partnership with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, explaining why a Chief People Officer must act as a business leader first and why being "the mirror" for a CEO is the most important, and loneliest, part of the job.We dive deep into:The C-Suite Burden: Why the HR role has shifted into a hybrid of Chief Medical, Diversity, and AI Officer.The "Entitlement" Trap: How Uber moved from "investigating everything" back to a culture of high judgment and "doing the right thing."Managing Up: The exact moment Nikki gave Dara feedback and how that blunt honesty built a foundation of radical trust.AI vs. Innovation: Why Nikki is prioritizing "AI-native" college grads and her warning to big companies: Don't let efficiency kill your ability to invent.The Art of "Disagree and Commit": Navigating executive hires and knowing which hills are worth dying on.This is a masterclass in leadership, human psychology, and the raw reality of what happens behind the closed doors of the world's biggest tech companies.

Yo — we're live in the middle of the 2026 blizzard with shovels, surge-priced Ubers and a bunch of snowday nostalgia. Tune in for chaotic on-the-spot updates, dumb mistakes (boiling water on your windshield, anyone?), and stories from the Blizzard '96 to today. It's funny, blunt, and honest — we'll make you laugh, wince at delivery tips, and remember why adulting in a blizzard beats being a kid with a sled. Stay warm, tip your drivers, and enjoy the chaos with us.
