[Featured Podcast] Building an Agency Holding Company w/ Peter Kang
Corey Quinn
Founder, Deep Specialization™
Discover how Peter turned client overload into a strategic portfolio by launching Barrel Holdings serving Shopify and Webflow clients through specialization.
Peter didn’t plan to start a holding company.
But when he and his partner hit a strategic wall, too many non-ideal clients eating up resources, they took an unconventional path.
One of their team members stepped up and said: “Let me take these clients and build something.”
That something became a thriving new agency. And that agency became the first piece of Barrel Holdings, a multi-agency portfolio now serving Shopify and Webflow clients at scale.
In this featured episode, Peter shares how he:
Pruned his client base without burning revenue
Leveraged platform partners (like Shopify) to drive consistent growth
Built multiple agencies in-house under a single holding company
Learned to align leadership incentives for long-term success
