Taking Back Monday
Alyssa Likes to Talk (and That’s the Whole Point)
When your high school coach tries to sum you up in a few words, "Alyssa likes to talk," it can feel like a punchline. But what if that label was actually the throughline?
In this Field Note, Alyssa shares the story behind her umbrella brand, Alyssa Likes to Talk - a home for every conversation, project, and lesson that’s shaped how she builds, leads, and learns.
She reflects on:
- The moment “Alyssa likes to talk” stopped being embarrassing and started making sense
- Why she’s never fit neatly into one lane (and why that’s the point)
- How all her worlds (podcasts, consulting, software, and story-gathering) connect through curiosity and conversation
