Felix is a strategist, author, speaker, lecturer, and pioneer of the internet. He started one of the world's first web design companies in 1994. He then had a high-profile, twenty-year career as a serial founder of several innovative digital creative and strategy agencies, including being chairman at pioneering CRM firm Underwired and CEO of The Conversation Group. He co-created “Head-Space”, which Forbes has described as one of the world's ten most influential websites.

Has this ever happened to you? You're working as a Marketer, either in-house or as the agency serving another business. You work earnestly to do what leadership asks. You might even be part of the leadership team, directing the marketing efforts. But inside, you're bugged by a question. While you architect campaigns, answer emails and sit in meetings, the question is there in the back of your head. You wish it had an answer, but that magic bullet keeps eluding you. It's "How are we going to grow?"  My guest says that growth can happen, but it's part of a larger challenge, and not just one that marketing has to tackle. For growth to happen, both marketing (who's got a pivotal role here) and the whole company have to retool themselves into an entity that can scale.    Felix Velarde began as an entrepreneur, starting a web design agency in 1994, when websites were just starting to be a thing. He then became a journeyman CEO for a string of digital agencies, eventually moving onto a role where he chaired those businesses. He has also been an adjunct professor at Hult International Business School and UK lead at Vint Cerf's People-Centered Internet coalition. In 2014 Felix broadened the advisory role to other companies like tech startups, at which point he boiled the growth principles he'd learned down to a system that any businesses could use. In 2021 he published the playbook of his two-year program that he claims will triple a company's size, called "Scale at Speed"  Listen to how instrumental  Felix  considers the role that marketing plays in building the firm's proposition. Also watch who he says should be in charge of growth; it's probably not the roles you'd expect to be most effective at it.  People/Products/Concepts Mentioned in Show Jim Collins' book "Good to Great" Edwin Locke Schumpeter's Creative Destruction Mai Lin Fung and Vint Cerf's People-Centered Internet coalition Yahoo's Jerry Yang Vistage International The book's website Felix can be contacted on LinkedIn  2Y3X's Program's website: https://2y3x.com/ implemented by over a dozen consultants worldwide.

With a background in bio-terrorism preparedness and response, as well as previous experience in intelligence and with the Federal Communications Commission, David Bray came to Singularity University with the belief that the ability to make the world better for all of us lies at the intersection of technology and society. He currently focuses on the area of public health, recognizing that because of our increasingly connected world, both public health and technology are not bound by geographical borders and demographics, and shares with us some of his insights into both areas. David is also the Executive Director of People-Centered Internet, a non-profit that focuses on using technology to bring communities together. They are currently working on three separate projects–bringing Internet access to rural Native American communities on their terms, providing quicker ways for victims of California wildfires to replace destroyed identity documents without fraud, and helping Puerto Rico in their efforts to recover from the effects of Hurricane Maria.
