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 at which your mission advances in the direction you’ve chosen.
As teams scale, that speed can quietly erode. Decisions pile up, energy becomes diffused, and everyone stays busy, yet less gets done than it 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.

Coming Soon: Urgent, Not Reckless: Anna-Katrina Shedletsky on Scaling Speed at Instrumental
"I can buy this thing and have results next week, versus I wait four months and maybe something happens. It's like, I have a problem now."
A first look at Anna Shedletsky's conversation with Keith Lucas, on how speed became Instrumental's biggest competitive advantage.
She also talks with Keith about protecting dissent, trading "leading from the front" for empowering ownership, and the pivot from consumer electronics to AI data center infrastructure.
Coming September 15, Speed: Moving Fast Towards What Matters is a six episode limited series featuring six startup founders and operators who exemplify personal speed and have wrestled with it organizationally. Each conversation explores the systematic principles of speed and the tactics that make it sustainable as you scale.
