[Bill Gurley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%5FGurley?ref=kudithipudi.org) in [conversation](https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast-transcripts/bill-gurley/?ref=kudithipudi.org) with [Shane Parrish](https://fs.blog/about/?ref=kudithipudi.org) on on how using AI to deeply understand both the foundational history and the cutting-edge trends in your domain can become an unfair career advantage

> I mean, it’s kind of an interesting contrast. **I’m suggesting you should understand the really old stuff, the history, because it’s differentiating and shows a passion and it gives you a great frame of mind**, but you also want to really understand the new edge. If you do both of those things, I think you’re a power player in your field.

That’s another thing that could really differentiate you in an interview. **If you’re applying for that marketing job and you understand all the legends and the history, but you also really get TikTok, that’s going to be a very differentiated skill** going into those companies, and it matters. It really matters. It gives you a chance to shine.
