On Business Refocused, Lindsay and Carey sit down with serial entrepreneur Alan Ringvald, CEO of Relativity6, to talk about what today’s entrepreneurs and leaders can learn from the startup world. Alan shares the lessons he picked up building companies across industries, from launching tech products to navigating early-stage chaos to finding real product-market fit.
He explains why entrepreneurs need to focus on the problem before the solution, how to test ideas in the real world, and why great data has become a competitive advantage for both carriers and agents. Alan also breaks down how AI has accelerated innovation, what founders often misunderstand about adoption, and how to stay resilient when the work gets messy.
