Nick Saraev: Claude, Codex & AI Agents

Nick Saraev

Hi 👋 I'm Nick. I've helped millions of people learn cutting-edge technology like Claude Code, Codex, N8N, and Antigravity. I first started in the agency world, founding two service businesses that scaled to a combined $160,000/m in revenue. Since then, I've worked with multibillion dollar enterprises, like Anthropic, Wix, and MrBeast (among many others!)This channel is a way for me to organize my thoughts while providing a guidepost for people that want to improve their AI skills, build an online business, and stay ahead of the rapid changes in both technology and the economy.To that end, you'll find Claude Code tutorials, Antigravity guides, n8n courses, sales masterclasses, and really anything I find interesting or impactful on a day-to-day basis.If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll happily respond in the comments! Thanks for reading.Links:Maker School: https://skool.com/makerschoolClairvo, my SaaS: https://clairvo.io?s=nickStacked, my podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@stackedpodLeftClick, my agency: https://leftclick.ai/Instagram: https://instagram.com/nick_saraev/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-saraev/Biography: https://nicksaraev.com

    A Practical AI Agent Workflow For Companies In 2027 (Guide)

    🔥 Join Maker School and get customer #1 guaranteed: https://skool.com/makerschool/about💎 Get the AI agent workflow here (free): https://www.skool.com/maker-zero➡️ If this is your first video: I'm Nick Saraev. I run LeftClick, an AI growth consultancy. We've done work for large brands you're likely familiar with, like Mr. Beast, Anthropic, OpenAI, and a few others.Uploaded 13-07-26In plain English: I help people build systems that generate leads, close deals, and scale businesses, mostly using new AI models like Claude. I also make videos about how to do all of that here on YouTube.It hasn't always been this way. My family immigrated from a Soviet bloc country (People's Republic of Bulgaria) in the 90s. They worked extremely hard, and we were broke for a very long time. I grew up wishing for more security, stability, and freedom over my own life.I don't have a programming degree, and never took formal education for IT or workflows. I learned it all myself from YouTube videos like you're watching now.As for my path: I started my first business at 19 in college. We threw events (mostly parties) at campus bars, and charged people for entry. That failed to provide me enough money to pay my bills, so at 21, I started another business, a door-to-door marketing agency.From there, every year, I would start several companies, over 10 in total. I did this in a variety of industries, like e-commerce, photography, videography, SaaS, credit repair, etc. Each grew slightly more profitable, until, at 25, I would start 1SecondCopy, a content writing company. A friend and I eventually scaled that to over $90,000/m. It was my first taste of financial independence, and the reason I'm here today.Since starting my journey, I've grown a fair bit of capital. To diversify my income, at 30, I began investing in other businesses and advising companies on how to grow in the AI era. These include SaaS businesses, like Clairvo, agencies like Dental Connect, and more. Collectively, the businesses that I own outright or are a part of generate over $10 million per year. This returns far more than the 5-10% you would get in the stock market, but also requires a lot of my active time. There's a tradeoff there, but I greatly prefer active investing, where I have control over the entities I'm a part of.It wasn't easy to get here. But I did in the end!

Hi 👋 I'm Nick. I've helped millions of people learn cutting-edge technology like Claude Code, Codex, N8N, and Antigravity. I first started in the agency world, founding two service businesses that scaled to a combined $160,000/m in revenue. Since then, I've worked with multibillion dollar enterprises, like Anthropic, Wix, and MrBeast (among many others!)This channel is a way for me to organize my thoughts while providing a guidepost for people that want to improve their AI skills, build an online business, and stay ahead of the rapid changes in both technology and the economy.To that end, you'll find Claude Code tutorials, Antigravity guides, n8n courses, sales masterclasses, and really anything I find interesting or impactful on a day-to-day basis.If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll happily respond in the comments!
