Resilience, Reputation, and Real Lessons in Entrepreneurship with Anik Singal

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about growth — it’s about what holds when everything is tested.

In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford speaks with entrepreneur and author Anik Singal about one of the most challenging periods of his career: navigating an extended FTC investigation that forced him to shut down operations just weeks before a major company acquisition.

Anik walks through:

• What an FTC investigation is really like

• Why compliance and substantiation are critical at scale

• The dangers of building fast without the right guardrails

• How reputation and brand can protect you in the worst moments

• Turning professional setbacks into purpose and clarity

This conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn’t defined by how fast you grow — but by how well you’re prepared when things go wrong.
