    The Power of Phrayz w/ Jack Fleming | Ep. 214

    In this episode of Biz/Dev, we sit down with Jack Fleming, founder of Phrayz and Socialry, and someone who is deeply embedded in the Wilmington startup community. Jack is one of those builders who is constantly in motion, running an agency, launching new products, and bringing founders together through things like 1 Million Cups. That perspective shows up in how he thinks about business. We get into how working across so many industries shaped his approach to marketing, what pushed him to build Phrayz, and why creating content without real context behind it rarely works. Along the way, we talk about the energy it takes to build early, staying close to the people you are serving, and what it looks like to grow something while you are still figuring it out in real time.

    In this episode of Biz/Dev, we talk with Chris Geiss, Co-Founder and CEO of Seguno, about building software for the ecommerce ecosystem and what it takes to create products that live inside a larger platform like Shopify.

    Anti AI Slop w/ Runbin Dong | Ep. 210 Pt.2

    In this episode of Biz/Dev, we talk with Runbin Dong, founder of Scale Social AI, about what it looks like to take an AI-driven business to market right now, when the SaaS playbook is shifting and “authentic” is either real or it’s noise. We get into building with intent, investing in yourself before anyone else does, taking full ownership when things get hard, and what it really means to start from scratch without pretending you’ve got it all figured out. Runbin shares the mindset shifts founders need in this new landscape, the traps people fall into when they chase hype, and how to build something that actually earns attention, not just clicks.
