Introduction: Speed Is What Wins with Keith Lucas

*Speed: Moving Fast Towards What Matters* is Keith Lucas's follow-up to his book *Impact*, a six-episode limited series exploring how inspiring founders think about speed: what it is, why it matters, and how they cultivate it. The series splits into two halves. The first three founders are early-stage and building with AI from the ground up: Harold Hughes (Divi) on speed as a signal of intent, Matt Curtis (Splendid Games) on how vision and iteration together unlock rapid development, and Yaniv Bernstein (Vera) on how AI coding has changed the way he hires and scales his engineering team. The next two founders are at the scaling stage, maintaining speed and culture as they grow, with the speed of service delivery itself as a competitive advantage: Jesse Stinebring (Blue Rose Research) and Anna Shedletsky (Instrumental). The series closes with David Baszucki, who grew Roblox from a team of one to thousands, and closes with Keith's own synthesis episode pulling the whole series together. **The host: Keith Lucas** Keith Lucas joined Roblox as employee #7 and later served as CPO and CTO, leading product, engineering, and operations as the company scaled. He went on to serve as COO of Instrumental and now advises leaders across AI, gaming, creator platforms, and enterprise technology. He is also the author of *IMPACT* and host of *Speed*. **Connect with Keith:** - linkedin.com/in/kvlucas - https://keithvlucas.com/ **Get the book:** *Impact* — https://keithvlucas.com/impact/ **Contact us:** [speed@keithvlucas.com](mailto:speed@keithvlucas.com) **CREDITS** Produced by : Leah Barnum Social Media: Julia Guagliardi - www.stillwaters-creative.com Editor: Jon Keur - www.wayfarerecording.com Content Designer: Natalie Leroux  - www.studioeightyseven.com Studio lighting/Setup - www.175productions.com
