From Early Web to AI Strategy: Tyler Norris on Building, Failing & Staying Curious | Ep 21

In Episode 21 of the Killer Growth Podcast, Samuel sits down with Tyler Norris, COO and strategy lead at Killer Growth, for a deep, reflective conversation on building businesses, learning the hard way, and staying adaptable across decades of technological change. Tyler shares his journey from growing up around entrepreneurship to building websites in the late ’90s, launching early agencies, winning a Microsoft small business contest, and attempting to build an underground data center in rural Kansas long before “the cloud” was a household term. He opens up about what went wrong, what he learned, and why walking away from certain ideas was just as important as pursuing others. The conversation traces Tyler’s path through agency life, freelancing, failed and successful partnerships, and ultimately co-founding Killer Growth. Along the way, they explore the shift from freelance work to building real systems, the importance of quality over volume, and how Tyler’s role today focuses on operations, strategy, and creating a better client experience. They also dive into the rapid evolution of AI—how it’s reshaping web design, content, SEO, and software development—and why Tyler sees today’s “AI slop” as a familiar phase that mirrors the early internet. The episode closes with reflections on legacy, faith, perseverance, and modeling a life of thoughtful risk-taking for the next generation. This is an honest, long-view conversation about entrepreneurship, technology, and building with intention over time. Learn more at https://killergrowth.com
