By doing so, she was well-poised to have her own start up! In 2012, she and her fellow Google employee Ryan Hayward, founded Hatch.co, an online store that completely shifted the way customers buy. \u00a0With its collection of items made from artisans and creatives, Hatch.co not only has become a powerful place for artists to showcase their work, but a place where consumers can come and find items and gifts that can be completely customized according to their desires. It&#8217;s an entirely different way to shop! In this inspiring interview, Anastasia, discusses her experience at Google, her experience as a start up, her decision to re-brand just one year in and ultimately her evolution as a business woman!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Anastasia&#8217;s Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>If you\u2019re not embarrassed of the first thing you put out there, then you waited too long!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>The only way to convince me is with the numbers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There is definitely a difference between listening to feedback and taking it on board versus listening to everything that people say and letting that change your vision and letting that change the trajectory of the path you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Anastasia&#8217;s Favorite Business Book<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Elegance of the Hedgehog\u00a0<em>by Muriel Barbery<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Click Below to Listen to any book of your choice for FREE!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrack.com\/impression.track?CID=102175&amp;AFID=305190&amp;ADID=671644&amp;SID=\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Find out more about Anastasia &amp; Hatch.co!<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hatch.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-575\" src=\"http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-05-at-9.24.57-PM-300x148.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-05-05 at 9.24.57 PM\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9539\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-573-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3\">http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/beta\/?powerpress_pinw=573-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p>http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/042_-_Anastasia_Leng_-_Hatch.co.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadHow do you completely shift the paradigm of shopping?
