In this episode…

Craig Weiss has been on both ends of the entrepreneurial spectrum: on one end, being down in the dumps and seeing their family business on the brink of collapse, and on the other, being able to bring his business to a billion-dollar valuation.

Craig’s entrepreneurial journey is both unorthodox and incredibly challenging and while the path wasn’t so easy, it has led him to become the Co-Founder and CEO of The Retainer Club and The Mouthguard Club. And for him, all the things that happened to him from his childhood, from being a Philosophy major, to being a lawyer and an entrepreneur all helped him in becoming the successful man that he is today.

In this episode, Craig shares his story of failures and triumphs as he gets interviewed by Dr. Jeremy Weisz of Rise25. Tune in to learn more about what it was like for him to take over and have control over his family business, how he was able to take on the FDA in the electronic nicotine delivery field, and what his company can do for you and your orthodontic practice.
