SPEED

MOVING FAST TOWARDS WHAT MATTERS

Some leaders think speed is simply about working harder or moving faster. It isn't. The speed that matters is Mission Speed, the rate your mission advances in the direction you've chosen. As teams scale, that speed can quietly erode: decisions pile up, energy diffuses, everyone's busy and less gets done than should. In this limited series podcast, Keith Lucas, former Roblox CPO/CTO, author and startup advisor, unpacks how the best operators move fast - guests include the founders of Roblox, Instrumental, Vera, Divi, Splendid Games, and Blue Rose Research.
