SynQ with Saad
SynQ with Saad is a podcast about building agencies, ecommerce brands and service-export businesses from Pakistan. Host Saad Munir, known as The Agency Guy and CEO of HexaClicks, talks with agency owners, tech founders and freelancers about how they actually started, what almost broke them and what finally worked. Episodes come in two formats: Hustle Stories, recorded in a Lahore studio with guests, and Hustle Connect, the same kind of in-depth conversation held online. Each episode breaks the guest's journey down into practical frameworks, with real numbers and setbacks instead of polished success stories. New episodes are released weekly on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. PKT.
