What does it take to build a meaningful career in coffee? According to Richelle Taylor, it starts with curiosity and a willingness to say yes.

In this episode of Tiny Sidecar, I sit down with Richelle Taylor, Director of Operations at Olympia Coffee, U.S. Coffee in Good Spirits Championship runner-up, and founder of the Women in Coffee event based in Seattle. We talk about her journey through the specialty coffee industry, the opportunities that shaped her career, and why staying open to unexpected paths can lead to some of the most rewarding work.

Whether you're new to coffee, looking for your next step, or simply searching for inspiration, Richelle shares thoughtful advice on embracing change, building confidence, and creating a career that reflects your values.

In this episode, we cover:

• Richelle's path to becoming Director of Operations at Olympia Coffee
• The importance of saying yes to new opportunities
• How curiosity can shape a long-term career in coffee
• Why there isn't one "right" path in the specialty coffee industry
• Building community through Seattle's Women in Coffee event
