MSU alum Ryan Rickert (Clean Slate Group) advises budding entrepreneurs to try, try again

Local entrepreneur Ryan Rickert got his start in business by falling flat on his figurative face about a month after launching a line of men’s underwear called Fame.

He bounced back, so to speak, by becoming a franchisee for a teeth-whitening company, which flopped, leaving Rickert with about $90,000 in dental equipment he couldn’t use.

But Rickert came back each time, and three years ago he founded the Clean Slate Group http://cleanslategroupus.com/ .

The Clean Slate Group has grown 900 percent in two years, has 16 employees and is working on projects in 16 states. Two Australian groups are also working to woo Rickert’s company to become involved in projects abroad.
