Given your time at Kabam and Zynga and Roblox, as well as your experiences advising companies and building games, what are the core elements of speed that startup leaders should be building?
2:44
Yeah, I think generally speed is extremely important, obviously, but a lot of people miscategorize it.
2:53
Not everyone, but what I've seen where the most missteps are is defining speed as purely execution velocity.
3:01
That's definitely a component.
3:03
But in my experience, and this is really specific to mobile games, Roblox games, length of time between decision and evidence is really what I use as a definition of speed.
3:17
And it's really important to try to be as objective as possible.
3:21
In gaming, especially, there's an aspect of passion, right? A lot of people are in the gaming space because they love games.
