About Our Guest:
Rachel Lebowitz is a third-generation female entrepreneur. Since the age of 10, the school bus dropped her off every day at her parents’ school supplies store, where she helped out and punched a time card. By the age of 12, Rachel asked for a raise, and at 15, she convinced her parents to take their business on to Amazon and helped them build their website. But the most interesting part was observing the employees when the boss wasn’t around.
Fast forward to 2015, Rachel and her husband acquired a flexible packaging printing business. They were doing well, but inevitably, with the rapid growth, they hit the ceiling. In 2018, they discovered EOS and implemented it into our business. They have since grown their business from 17-30 million in revenue and from 30 – 100 employees. As a partner in business, Rachel got a unique vantage point into the day-to-day stress and struggles of running a company. Therefore, she is passionate about sharing those EOS tools they discovered to help businesses like yours get more peace of mind and your life back, like they did!
