Do you think you are on the right side of that line? Today's featured guest claims his agency has grown faster than ever in these recent years of AI ubiquity. He'll break down how 24 years of process obsession set him up to capitalize on AI before his competitors even stopped panicking. We get into the real mechanics of building SOPs that survive scale, why founders keep sabotaging their own teams (and how to stop), and how personal branding turned his sales calls into qualification calls. If you're running a $1M+ agency and still feel like the bottleneck, this one is going to sting a little, in the right way. Navneet Kaushal is the founder and CEO of Page Traffic , a white label SEO agency he's been building since 2002. He's since navigated every major algorithm shift, scaled through multiple hiring cycles, and now uses AI to encode decades of institutional knowledge directly into his systems. He's also built a recognizable personal brand through conference speaking worldwide and a growing YouTube channel, a move he credits as one of the top three drivers of his agency's recent growth.
