    <![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to GrepBeat’s “The Side Quest!” Our show hosted by the GrepBeat Godfather <b>Joe Colopy</b> and <b>Sonali Sanjay</b> of <a href="https://primordial.io/" target="_blank">Primordial Ventures</a> is BACK for our second season. This show chats all things NC Tech, and each week features a guest who dives deep into their very own side quest (startup or otherwise!)</p>

<p>For this weeks' episode our hosts sat down with guest <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisheivly/details/experience/" target="_blank">Chris Heivly</a> in the midst of an event he helps bring to life: <a href="https://www.raleighdurhamstartupweek.com/" target="_blank">Raleigh-Durham Startup Week</a>! Chris chats about how his experience both in teaching and leading in startup spaces has informed him about the gaps in our ecosystem, and how he has brought together some of the leading experts in tech, politics, sales, and more to help fill these gaps. It is a great episode, and one you won't want to miss!</p>

<p>We'd also be remiss not to mention the official <a href="https://suno.com/s/YzC7iU8o81aJZtch" target="_blank"><i>The Side Quest </i>song</a>! Created with AI tools by the Godfather himself, we're excited to introduce our theme to you. Check it out <a href="https://suno.com/s/YzC7iU8o81aJZtch" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Today, hosts <b>Jenn Summe</b> and <b>Melissa Crosby</b> are joined by <b>Runbin Dong</b> of <a href="https://grepbeat.com/2026/01/08/scale-socials-runbin-dong-on-engagement-driven-marketing-crossing-1m-arr-and-hikes-without-headphones/" target="_blank">Scale Social</a> and <b>David Baxter</b> of Big Pixel and <a href="https://grepbeat.com/2026/03/24/big-pixels-david-baxter-launches-teela-the-plain-language-data-analyst-for-users/" target="_blank">Teela</a>. They are chatting about a topic we see floating around the community often: how do you manage building a company with a family? With startups being famous for taking 100% of your brain space, how do you keep yourself available and present as a parent? Both of our guests provide their great advice for anyone to keep in mind if they're looking to build while maintaining their relationships. It's a great and useful episode, so be sure to tune in!</p>

    <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the first ever episode of GrepBeat's "The Side Quest!" Our brand new series hosted by the GrepBeat Godfather <b>Joe Colopy</b> and <b>Sonali Sanjay</b> of <a href="https://primordial.io/" target="_blank">Primordial Ventures</a>. This show chats all things NC Tech, and each week features a guest who dives deep into their very own side quest (startup or otherwise!)</p>

<p>This weeks episode features <b>Chris Geiss</b> of <a href="https://www.seguno.com/" target="_blank">Seguno</a>. He chats about how he found his way into the North Carolina startup world (spoiler alert: Joe's company Bronto had a little something to do with it!), what he's up to now, and all the awesome amenities he's added to his office.</p>

<p>Thank you for joining us for this episode of<b> <i>The Side Quest</i></b>, a show under <a href="https://grepbeat.com/the-grepbeat-podcast/" target="_blank">The GrepBeat Podcast</a>.</p>]]>
