Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all.
Episode Guest: Rachel Lipson
Rachel Lipson is the founder and CEO of Blue Balloon Songwriting for Small People, a music school that teaches in-home private and group instrument lessons through songwriting to kids 3 and up in NYC, The Hamptons and Nashville. Rachel started out as a guitarist and songwriter working as a preschool teacher at Saint Ann's in Brooklyn Heights. She organically grew Blue Balloon from the ground up. What began as a one woman music “school” in Rachel’s one room studio apartment, has grown into what Blue Balloon is today: 60+ amazing, talented teachers, teaching over 350 students a week on many different instruments in multiple cities. Rachel is an accomplished educator, a prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, has recorded and toured in Europe and the UK, and recorded twice at BBC Radio One in London. Rachel lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn with her husband, two small boys and their Border Collie mix, Finn.
