How customer obsession is driving success at Lyft
17/06/2026 | 15 mins.
When Lyft CEO David Risher started, he had to let 26% of his team go.

"Our prices when I started were just too high. We weren't paying drivers enough."

On this episode of This Is Working, David shares the hard calls he had to make when he became CEO, and how he took the company from losing money to its first full year of profitability.

We also get into why he still drives his own Lyft every six weeks, and the rider conversation that changed how he thinks about pricing.

PwC's global chairman Mohamed Kande is working with some of the world's biggest companies in real time as the rules of business are being rewritten.

On this episode of This Is Working, LinkedIn Editor in Chief Dan Roth asks him: what does it take to lead when AI has changed the rules?

In their conversation, Mohamed also gets into why AI can give you expertise but will never give you judgment, why the best leaders right now are willing to be students again, and why avoiding tough calls is just "lazy leadership."

The best careers are built on curiosity. Bill Gurley — the legendary Benchmark Capital investor behind Uber, Zillow, and Snapchat — makes that case in his new book, Runnin' Down a Dream.

I sat down with him on the same day we published LinkedIn's annual Skills on the Rise list, and his message felt like a perfect companion to it: the skill that makes all the others possible is being a continuous learner. And for that, Bill says, you need to have fascination.

Bank of America Chairman and CEO, Brian Moynihan, is betting history will repeat itself.
