Nick Greenfield got a call from a hedge fund investor that changed his life:
Invisalign's patent was about to expire - did Nick want to build a better version?
That's when the rollercoaster began - and as you'll hear, it continues to the this day (on a massive upswing now!)

Join us for this tour de force through the go-go days of D2C in the late 2010s - and how it ultimately ended (and then rebirthed Candid as something even stronger).
