OM DENNE EPISODE
Live shopping in China is a massive, multi-billion-dollar market, but for years, American platforms have struggled to crack the format.

It is now among the nation’s biggest shippers. Fortune’s Allie Garfinkle sits down with CEO Grant LaFontaine to talk about this unforeseen growth and the next steps for the company.
