Am I REALLY a Spy for the FTC?

Inside The Episode

All right, I’ve heard the rumors.

Some people out there are convinced that I’m secretly working for the FTC—turning in friends, handing over insider info, and using Don’t Say That as a front.

Let me be clear: That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Greg and I sat down in this episode to address these ridiculous claims head-on. I’m fired up, and I’m setting the record straight once and for all. We break down…

  • Why this conspiracy theory makes ZERO logical sense.
  • The reality of how the FTC actually investigates businesses (hint: they don’t need me).
  • How I actually negotiated my $2.5M settlement—without any shady deals.
  • The real reason I started Don’t Say That and Compliantly (spoiler: it’s not to rat you out).
  • Why marketers spreading these lies are doing more harm than good for the industry.

If you’ve heard these rumors—or worse, believed them—watch this episode. Let’s put this nonsense to rest.
