Don’t rush it. One strategy at a time.

Anya Cheng has had a career most people would call “impossible” on paper: Sears, Target, McDonald’s, eBay, Meta and then the leap into founding her own company. In this conversation, Anya breaks down the real strategy behind those moves (and the mindset shift that changed everything): stop optimizing for “better” and start asking what you actually want.

We talk about playing the long game through community, referrals, and being a genuine connector (including how giving first helped her unlock key investor relationships). Anya also shares the origin story behind Taelor, an AI + human-stylist menswear rental that helps busy men look great without shopping or laundry, plus the surprising realities of fundraising as an immigrant woman founder and how she adapted without losing herself.

If you’re building your next chapter, this one is a reminder to leverage your strengths, stay in motion, and let courage look like your version of action.

MK is the co-founder of Retrocycle, a Colorado nonprofit building a borrow-and-return network for reusable cups, starting with the Colorado Cup launching in May 2026 in Breckenridge.

In this conversation, we get into what it looks like to lead yourself first while building something uncertain: nervous system regulation, staying steady through emotional waves, and using fear as a signal instead of a stop sign.

MK also shares her path from Zappos and marketing into a full reset (WWOOFing, herbalism, sustainability exploration), how a reuse system in Germany sparked the Retrocycle vision, and why the model is built to last beyond the founders through nonprofit governance, community partners, local government collaboration, and local art on every cup.

If you’ve been craving work that feels real again, this one is a blueprint for choosing trust over fear and building a mission with momentum.
