In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Rachel Hechtman, the founder of Sober in Central Park. Rachel shares her powerful journey from using alcohol to numb her feelings and dissatisfaction with life to a moment of clarity during COVID-19 that led her to sobriety. What began as a personal Instagram account for accountability has since blossomed into a global community and lifestyle platform dedicated to helping people redefine their relationship with alcohol and rediscover their purpose and joy.

Rachel delves into the current business model of Sober in Central Park, which includes one-on-one sobriety coaching and partnerships with non-alcoholic beverage brands for events throughout New York City. She discusses the challenges and rewards of turning her personal journey into a multi-faceted business, the importance of living in alignment with your values, and her plans for scaling her impactful venture while maintaining the authentic, community-driven spirit at its core.
