We talk with Sylvia K. Alston about code switching, building her personal brand, pivoting, and the real cost of staying small in corporate spaces when it no longer serves you. We also trace how insurance, media, faith, and entrepreneurship collide to reshape her definition of alignment, success, and freedom.  

• Code switching as a situational tool and a leadership choice  
• How storytelling helped her navigate a career in sales and build a successful insurance and risk management firm. 
• Pivoting from operations into business development and learning to “kill what you eat”  
• Building a personal brand through media and live audience feedback  
• Relationship management as a sales strategy and being curious about people’s stories  
• Launching a brokerage, facing the reality of who follows you and those who don’t
• Faith as a daily practice alongside questions about religion and tradition  
• Resilience in entrepreneurship, long workdays, and standing on your word  
• Navigating business ownership with motherhood, marriage, and a parent’s health crisis
