Building The Layered Life with Rachel Reider & Kate Maloney Albiani
Manny welcomes Rachel Reider back to the podcast, along with Kate Maloney Albiani. As co-founders of The Layered Life Collective, they talk about the community they built for interior designers looking to grow their businesses with intention. Rachel and Kate share how their friendship and years of exchanging business advice inspired them to build something they wished had existed earlier in their careers. They discuss process, hiring, collaboration, taking the next step in business, and the value of learning from peers who understand the same challenges. They also reflect on how The Layered Life has grown beyond its first retreat into an ongoing community focused on education, support, and connection.
