When Rachel was working for others, she felt like a bystander in her own career. So, how do you make the jump from bystander to CEO? In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren sit down with author and CEO Rachel Beider to discuss the growth of her company, PRESS Modern Massage, when she knew it was time to expand, how the concept of servant leadership guides her approach to management, and advice to other practitioners wishing to make the leap into private practice themselves.

Rachel Beider is a globally recognized small business expert, bestselling author, and entrepreneur. She is the proud owner of PRESS Modern Massage, a group of award-winning massage studios in NYC. She is a New York Licensed Massage Therapist and a board certified NCBTMB continuing education provider.  Her work has been published in Forbes, Huffington Post, and she's been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine and the Wall St. Journal. She released her first book, a beginner’s guide to massage, called “Press Here” in January 2019, and her second book, “Massage MBA: Run Your Practice, Love Your Life” in 2021.
