Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi advises young professionals to keep an open mind and avoid overplanning their careers.
Khosrowshahi believes that people often ignore opportunities that don't align with their preconceived plans, leading to missed chances.
His advice is based on his own experience, starting with a chance assignment early in his career that eventually led to working closely with Barry Diller.
Khosrowshahi highlights the importance of seizing unexpected opportunities and being open to working with inspiring individuals.
