How to scale at speed

Small Spark Theory? Episode 55: Felix Velarde

In 2017 I interviewed?Felix Velarde?for this podcast to discuss agency growth planning. It was our?4th episode and I'll be honest, it was pretty chaotic. I’d just moved house, we recorded from my living room surrounded by cardboard boxes and a clothes rail (top tip for home podcasters a full clothes rail is excellent for sound quality -?if a little disconcerting for your guest).

Lots of people got in touch to talk about that episode and the way Felix delivered such a calm, pragmatic approach to a subject that frustrates so many agency leaders. How do you grow, and just as importantly, how do you sustain that growth?

Later that year, Felix mentioned over lunch that he’d been approached by an agent who had heard the podcast, and suggested he write a book about the process. Fast forward to 2021 and I’m delighted that Felix is back to discuss that very book: Scale at Speed: How to Triple the Size of Your Business and Build a Superstar Team.

This book is such an invigorating read, whether or not you are in a position to take on the full?2Y3X?programme that Felix and his team delivers, it is full to the brim with practical tools and advice to motivate anyone to switch up their growth plans.

We always do a book giveaway with each episode but Felix has kindly agreed to donate?10 signed copies?to listeners. Join in the comments to this post (or on Twitter or Instagram using #smallsparktheory) and we'll pick 10 winners.
