Long bio

Tyler Woodall is a South Carolina entrepreneur who builds systems that scale businesses and give owners their time back. A Clemson University marketing graduate, he started in commercial insurance and founded The WIN Agency in 2021, growing it to seven figures in under two years by documenting every process and leaning on remote team members — then exiting in 2025.

That playbook became Agency Aid (2023), which trains and places virtual insurance specialists and has staffed more than 200 independent agencies, and ScaleOps, a marketing and automation platform for independent agencies covering websites, Google Business Profile management, lead generation and AI automation. He is also a partner in Catalyst Insurance Partners.

Outside the company, Tyler has traveled to more than forty countries — most of it while running a 100+ person team remotely — and summited Mount Kilimanjaro's Uhuru Peak at 19,341 feet. He earlier founded The SOW Project, a clothing brand that funded meals for children in South America.

Tyler hosts Defining Success with Tyler Woodall and Agency Shop Talk, and has appeared on Agency Freedom, Both Sides of Success, Business Creators Radio Show, Bold Journey and EverQuote's agent webinar series.
