We had the good fortune of connecting with Abby Beach and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abby, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process for starting The RV Social Lounge stemmed from a moment of inspiration during just an ordinary drive home from work. I wanted to create a space where people could gather, celebrate, and enjoy themselves without the hassle of hosting at home or going out. As a busy mom, I recognized how challenging it can be to create fun, stress-free experiences, especially when it involves setting up, cleaning, and entertaining guests.

The idea clicked: a mobile party solution that brings the celebration to people—complete with Instagram worthy decor, entertainment, and all the fun, but none of the stress. I saw an opportunity to fill a unique niche, especially for pre-teens, teens, and adults who crave a special experience. I envisioned creating a space where people could enjoy meaningful moments, whether it’s a birthday, girls’ night, or just-for-fun gathering, without worrying about the logistics.

Fueled by my passion for making memories, I turned my “party tornado” energy into a business that delivers joy right to your driveway!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
First off, my career has absolutely nothing to do with this little venture—and fun fact, I was never even a camper (a question I get asked all the time!). For over 14 years, I’ve worked in healthcare, but I started this venture because I was not finding any meaning in my career and desperately needed a change. The RV Social Lounge gave me a professional sense of purpose when I was still figuring out “what I wanted to be when I grew up.” And guess what? I’m pushing 40 and still figuring it out! What I’ve learned is that entrepreneurship and startup culture are for me—it’s where my passion truly lies.
Fast forward to now, for the past 9 months, I’ve been working at Tuesday Health as their Senior Director of Market Engagement and Operations. Tuesday Health is a supportive care organization committed to providing personalized and compassionate care for the seriously ill, and this role has been a pivotal part of my career. It’s allowed me to combine everything I love most—managing people, making an impact, building relationships, and driving growth.
If there’s one thing I’d want the world to know about me, it’s this: it’s perfectly OK not to have it all figured out. When people ask, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” it’s fine to say, “I don’t know.” The key is to keep challenging yourself to grow, to embrace change, and to find fulfillment in the journey.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There’s only one correct answer to this question: Tina’s Nite Club. It’s hands-down the best karaoke dive bar EVER. It’s where the magic happens. But before we hit up Tina’s, I’d kick things off with a little food and drink tour around Ohio City—there’s no shortage of incredible spots to eat and grab a cocktail. Next up on the agenda, would be my hometown favorite, Fat Little Buddies, who have also been voted Cleveland’s best wings!. Good food, great drinks, and the perfect mix of karaoke chaos—it doesn’t get better than that!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing people who helped me bring my vision for The RV Social Lounge to life – there are too many to mention! To Hey Hello Studio who supported me in building this brand—your guidance and creativity gave me the courage to keep moving forward. A special shoutout to my husband, who not only entertained my crazy idea but also stood by me as I turned it into a reality. And, of course, my kids—the most energetic employees of The RV Social Lounge—who (begrudgingly!) helped along the way. I hope they one day look back proud of their mom and can appreciate the hard work that goes into entrepreneurship, a full time job, and raising a family. Thank you all for being part of this adventure!
