    Anti AI Slop Part One w/ Runbin Dong | Ep. 210

    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.

    Clean Books, Zero Fortune Telling w/ Pam Stocks | Ep. 209

    In this episode of Biz/Dev, we talk with Pam Stocks, founder of On The Books, about the operational side of building a business that most founders only learn through experience. We get into setting up finances the right way early, hiring ahead of the chaos, planning instead of reacting, and the small structures that keep growth from getting messy.  Pam shares the patterns she sees across startups, the signals leaders should pay attention to, and how to stay a few steps ahead while you’re busy building something real.

    Success by Design with Lauren Romer | Ep. 207

    After eight years helping shape Raleigh’s startup scene at Raleigh Founded, Lauren Romer is stepping into something deeply personal. In this episode of Biz/Dev, Lauren shares what it feels like to walk away from a role that defined a decade of her life and bet on the thing she has quietly been building all along: Romer & Company. We talk about the emotional weight of leaving a community you helped grow, what it takes to trust yourself when the path is no longer obvious, and how working alongside founders for years can give you the courage to finally become one yourself.  Lauren also opens up about how design, sustainability, and intentional space are not just aesthetic choices, but tools for building better lives and better businesses. 42 & Lawrence Website Iris Coffee Lab Website Cheer Wine Website Lauren on LinkedIn ___________________________________ Submit Your Questions to: hello@thebigpixel.net OR comment on our YouTube videos! - Big Pixel, LLC - YouTube Our Hosts David Baxter - CEO of Big Pixel Gary Voigt - Creative Director at Big Pixel The Podcast David Baxter has been designing, building, and advising startups and businesses for over ten years.

    People First w/ Jesse Jones | Ep. 203

    This week on Biz/Dev, we sit down with Jesse Jones, founder of Fourscore Law, for a conversation every new business owner should hear. Jesse breaks down the legal essentials in a way that actually makes sense — the practical steps founders can take to protect themselves before the stress hits. But he also lets us in on something deeper: the future he’s building and why taking care of his people is the foundation of it. It’s a grounded, generous conversation about risk, leadership, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts.
