What happens when you refuse to choose just one path? On The Ampersand Manifesto, host Jessica Wan sits down with “the most interesting people at the dinner party” – those who have built thriving careers in two or more completely different worlds, from medicine & dance to technology & art. Through candid conversations, we explore what it takes to navigate multiple callings, find the connection points between them, and redefine success on our own terms. Together, we’re co-creating The Ampersand Manifesto – a guide to leading a bold, multi-passionate life.Jessica Wan, Executive Coach and Classical Singer Economía Exito Profesional

  • Alyssa Jarrett on Authenticity in All Roles: From Tech Marketer to Romance Author
    Jun 25 2025

    Jessica speaks with Alyssa Jarrett, a romance author and content marketer based in the San Francisco Bay Area — where the only thing funnier than working in tech is writing about it. She's currently writing and self-publishing a 5-book series of Silicon Valley rom-coms. Her latest novel, Book 3 in the series, is an Armenian bakery romance titled LOVE AND PAKLAVA. As a content marketer, she worked for a decade in B2B marketing roles for tech companies, including Rockerbox, Iterable, and Ripple. Alyssa holds a B.A. in Literature from UC Santa Cruz and an M.A. in Mass Communication and Journalism from Fresno State.
