The Agency Giants Podcast - Episode 35 (Ricky Solanki)
__________________________________________
He's spent 17 years building an agency: 50 staff, 400 clients at its peak.
If he were starting again in 2026, he'd run the whole thing with one person… & make more money!
In this episode of Agency Giants, Ricky Solanki, founder of Push Group, walks through exactly how he'd build a 1-person AI agency from scratch.
• Why one person & a few AI agents can now run an entire client end to end.
• How he'd actually start from $0 using Claude Code.
• The marketing engine he'd build from day one (Automated funnels, lead magnets, & the free channel almost every agency still ignores!)
