How to Grow a Business Without Doing Everything Yourself, with Rachel Beider.
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟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 archives… until we recently rediscovered it and realised how good it was. Safe to say, we couldn’t 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 Rachel’s 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.Credits:Host: Sophie HallwrightGuest: Rachel BeiderProducer & Editor: Emily RigbySocial & Digital Manager: Lucy Munro⁠⁠Leave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️⁠⁠For more from The Curve:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠(00:00:00) Coming up in this episode…(00:03:09) How Rachel became a massage therapist (and the unexpected path into business)(00:10:44) The key milestones in building her business(00:12:47) The biggest challenges she faced as a founder(00:19:08) What it took to scale to a million-dollar business(00:20:53) The leadership style that shaped her company culture(00:25:57) Advice for starting a business in a competitive industry(00:28:20) The upside of entrepreneurship and financial freedom(00:32:05) How Rachel approaches her personal finances(00:34:48) Navigating the shift from business owner to mother(00:37:16) Thank you for listening!(00:37:41) Financial disclaimerDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.
