Every entrepreneur dreams of building something extraordinary, only to face challenges that seem impossible to overcome. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits with Anik Singal—an entrepreneur who has tasted immense success and devastating setbacks. 🎢 From building a $40 million empire to facing a lawsuit from the FTC, Anik’s story is about grit, reinvention, and using failures as stepping stones.

From College Hustler to Millionaire

Anik’s entrepreneurial journey began in college, where he hustled his way into making his first million by the time he graduated. 📚 Instead of enjoying frat parties, he was building his business and landing offers from Wall Street firms—only to reject them in pursuit of his dream.

“I didn’t want a job. It just didn’t make sense to me. I had to build something for myself.”

Despite achieving rapid success, he faced not one but three near-bankruptcies along the way. His resilience became the cornerstone of his life and business philosophy.

The Dream Business Crumbled Overnight

Anik’s trajectory changed dramatically when the FTC came knocking. The fallout wasn’t just financial—it cost him an acquisition deal worth millions. Imagine being two steps away from the gold medal and breaking your ankle right before the finish line. 🏅

“I was weeks away from selling my company when the investigation forced me to shut everything down.”

Turning Setbacks into a Mission

While the journey was brutal, Anik transformed this tragedy into a new mission—educating others about compliance and rebuilding from the ground up. He now shares these lessons through podcasts, speaking engagements, and a revolutionary AI-driven software.
