Tell you what, Audrey, there isn't a hotter ticket in Pittsburgh, besides Hamilton, of course.

Then tuning into TechVibre radio, I mean, come on. If you have your choices, you're either going to take those tickets or you're going to listen to TechVy. And from what I can tell, most people...

Are you going to Hamilton? No. Why not? How can I get tickets? That's why I'm listening to TechVibreadio tonight.

Okay.

I've got no other choice. You've been relegated to listening to TechVib Radio because you do not have tickets to Hamilton tonight. And that's okay because we're going to be way more fun than Hamilton. We could sing if we wanted to. We could. We could rap if we wanted to. wanted to, but you know, we don't want to give it all away just the introduction of the show, so you're going to keep yourself tuned. Actually, Audrey, so you know what, over the holiday break, I did a lot of interviews in our new podcast room at Nova Place. So excited. You know, last night we just broke in with our new studio and our new office with our open house we had last night. Very exciting. And so we recorded a bunch of different things over the past a couple weeks. Had some great guest stop by, just getting some podcasting on our belt. And we're going to play those interviews tonight. But I'm glad you got to join me for this intro because I was flying solo, Audrey, when I did these things. You were zooming around the world in different places, different locales. And it's kind of weird when I'm doing tech vibe without you at my side. No, well, I'm back. And you're back. So, Audrey, this week was a pretty cool week for you. Well, we did. I actually did a, like a fireside chat interview, kind of, slash speech at the Professional Convention Management Association.

That's like PCMA, right?

PCMA.

That's high.

And they came to Pittsburgh for like three days, four days, like 4,000 people.

A lot of people in Pittsburgh.

They came from all over the world.

It was interesting to see all the boots, by the way. Seeing the booths like Austin had a booth in Chicago. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they were giving stuff away. But I didn't have enough time to hang out there. Was there a picture of like long head, long, long antler? No, it was hipper. It was hipper. No, it was much hipper than that. So they're all in town. This is their professional development. This is also their networking and this is also their educational. So they're here. Pittsburgh is the backdrop.

They went in their home town is Chicago. So that was cool. I got a chance to talk to people who had never been to Pittsburgh before and they were from Chicago. A lot of people

had never been to Pittsburgh. So I imagine the town really reaped the benefits. And I had a chance to talk

about innovation, building innovation in a city that's sort of resurrected or rebranding themselves.

Given some of the Pittsburgh tech story? A little bit. It was really more hands-on. Like, how does that work? How do you move a region? What does it mean to move a region? How do you... What are some of the variables? You know, of course, people are like, well, you know, don't you just follow the recipe of Silicon Valley? I'm like, no. Never. That's the worst recipe in the world. It's the worst recipe. It burns in the oven.

No, but it doesn't even match. It doesn't even match who our assets are. We can't even try to do that.

Yeah. Ridiculous. So that was great. Good conversation. I had a great moderator. Her name is Holly Ransom. And she's out of Melbourne, Australia. And she actually

Holly Ransom. Holly Ransom actually interviewed Obama.

Oh, really? Yeah, she did Obama. I was like, wow, this is sort of cool. And then you.

And then me. So now her career is complete. Yeah, right. She was great. She was a great moderator, actually. She was a great. So what kind of questions was she asking you? Well, she actually is more provocative. She was asking questions, you know, about, you know, things like, what do you do to attract startups here? And I said, why would I want to attract startups here? We want to attract bigger companies who have a presence here.

Startup schmertups, right?
