THE STORY BEHIND THE VOICE: FROM TECH to COMMUNITY BUILDER

Today on Local Whidbey, we’re turning the microphone around — and in the best possible way. I’ve invited someone I admire, Tiffany Scribner, Program Manager for Leadership Whidbey, to step in as our guest host.

If you know Tiffany, you know she has a gift for guiding conversations, drawing out people’s stories, and helping leaders understand not just what they do, but why they do it. Her work with Leadership Whidbey puts her at the center of community development, mentorship, and personal growth on the island — which makes her the perfect person to turn the tables and interview me today.

I couldn’t think of anyone better to help navigate my own story, my work, and the winding road that led me to Whidbey Island. So for this episode, Tiffany is taking the lead.

Tiffany Scribner: Our guest is someone you already know — the voice, the storyteller, the connector, and the creative force behind this very podcast. Magsy is a communication strategist, entrepreneur, supper-club host, and community builder whose journey winds from corporate tech to creative entrepreneurship to the heart of Whidbey Island.

Her career began as a systems engineer for EDS at Enron, where she learned how complex systems — and people — really work.

After moving to Spokane, WA, she launched Nosey Parker, a character brand that helped local retailers embrace digital communication long before “influencers” existed. Over the years, she’s supported more than 220 retailers, worked with self-employed, startups, and founders, and even helped entrepreneurs craft the pitch decks that opened doors to real investment. In Spokane, she also was part of team that brought ‘Start Up Spokane’ to wanna-be founders as a mentor.  She would love to bring that here to the Island as well.

She later became Director of Digital Marketing for eWomenNetwork in Dallas, empowering women entrepreneurs across the country.

Since moving to Whidbey during Covid, Magsy has become a meaningful part of the island’s landscape — hosting nearly 900 people in her home through the With Magsy Supper Club and sharing the stories of “audacious islanders” on this very show.

Magsy has spent her life helping other people share their voices — entrepreneurs, creatives, neighbors, and now the people of Whidbey Island.

Today, we get to hear her story.
