About this listen
In this episode of Agency Quest, I sit down with Ryan Gor, a former product leader turned founder of a fast-growing product consultancy agency. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to leave a stable job, start from scratch, and build a client-serving business based on trust, strategy, and relationships—this is your blueprint.

🎙 What We Cover:
➡️ How Ryan transitioned from engineering and product management to launching his own agency
➡️ The real reason why traditional agency-client relationships break down—and how Ryan does it differently
➡️ His first client story (spoiler: it wasn’t glamorous, but it was foundational)
➡️ Why building a team based on shared values is his #1 priority
➡️ Lessons learned from working in product and how they shape his agency model today
➡️ The hidden ROI of networking vs. cold outreach
➡️ How he balances quality hiring with scaling a service business
➡️ The long game: referrals, relationships, and the 8-year deal that paid off
➡️ What it really feels like to land that first client and go full-time
➡️ Why giving away free work early on can actually change your life
