The Curve How to Grow a Business Without Doing Everything Yourself, with Rachel Beider.
š WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE š
This episode is a bit of a hidden gem. It was recorded in New York last January and somehow ended up sitting quietly in the archivesā¦ until we recently rediscovered it and realised how good it was. Safe to say, we couldnāt keep it hidden any longer.
In this conversation, Sophie sits down with Rachel Beider, founder of Press Modern Massage, (https://www.pressmodernmassage.com/) the business she built and scaled from the ground up, before going on to launch a second venture: The Canopy (https://www.thecanopynyc.com/), an indoor play space for babies and toddlers in New York. We talk about Rachelās journey into becoming a massage therapist, the early days of building her business, the biggest challenges she faced as it grew, and the lessons she learned scaling in a competitive industry. The conversation also dives into leadership, including her approach to servant-style management, as well as the personal side of entrepreneurship: financial freedom, how she manages her personal finances, and how her priorities evolved as she moved from business owner to mother.
