AMA: Off The Clock

Today we’re featuring an incredible leader in the Tampa Bay marketing community — someone who’s built a successful agency, mentored professionals and students, and continues to support the next generation of marketers through organizations like USF AMA and ScramBULL.

We’ll dive into her journey in marketing, her leadership experience with AMA Tampa Bay, and how she’s helping bridge the gap between classroom learning and the real-world agency experience.

In this episode, we sit down with Tyler Wagner, founder of Authors Unite (and partner at PartnerProfits .io) — a #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author and a thought-leader in business-growth, publishing, and personal branding. Tyler shares his journey from aspiring author to entrepreneur, how he leverages storytelling to build authority, and what he’s learned about scaling businesses and building community.

In this spooky-fun special, Noah and Zahra reminisce about childhood Halloweens, favorite costumes, and the classic TV shows and movies that made the season unforgettable. They wrap it up with a playful “Trick or Treat?” game guessing which wild Halloween marketing campaigns were real or fake — all while exploring how nostalgia and creativity shape fall marketing magic.
