Rachel Greiman: “I Almost Shuttered This Successful Business”

The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Rachel Greiman is a copywriter and documentary family photographer in Denver, CO. She owns Green Chair Stories, a company committed to writing websites that get photographers booked. She believes cookies are a perfectly acceptable breakfast food, as long as you eat some salad later. She lives with her giant dog (an 80-pound bernedoodle named Bernadette), her giant husband (a 6'6" man named Travis), and her currently little (but probably soon-to-be giant) babies in a bungalow in the city.

“ I thought: I’m going to shut this down. This is our last year. I’m done.” - Rachel Grieman
