Friday Nooner: A Bit Of Grepsgiving And A Chat With American Underground’s Tim Scales

Today’s episode of the Friday Nooner was triple-hosted by GrepBeat Godfather Joe Colopy, Kaitlyn Dang, and––making his Nooner debut, kind of—Cesar Romero. They opened the show with a few words on what they were all bringing to our midday “Grepsgiving” lunch. (We feasted immediately after the show.)

As always, I then beamed in with my weekly update on all things GrepBeat.com. This week that meant shouting out a busy episode of the Monday Mix and highlighting startup features on Durham death-care platform Melon, Wilmington’s 3D-rendered wedding planning service Iris Hall, and Chapel Hill computer-driven bot outfit Blue Sky Robotics.

Today’s main course was American Underground Executive Director Tim Scales. Tim spoke about the difference between AU and other “coworking” spaces like WeWork, indulged us in a place-of-origin guessing game, and filled us in on his journey from theater major (fun fact, yours truly was a theater studies minor, but this isn’t about me), to Duke MBA, to a career in Startupland.
