Hey everybody. Yes, indeed. It is Friday, which means one thing. It is Tech Vibe Radio here on KDCA.

This is Jonathan Kirstening. I'm normally joined with Audrey Russo, my boss, our CEO, and co-host.

She's out tonight, so I am flying this airplane solo tonight, having a good time. So many great

interviews coming with you tonight

on the show we have some great guests we have a webbula stopping by these guys are all about

email campaigns and all the technologies around making sure your email reaches the people and you're

not spamming folks and you're abiding by all the cool email rules we also have a market space

communication stopping by all of talking about

what it means to brand your tech company and just your company in general as well too. Branding

rules go across across the aisle as far as that is. And we also have a special interview.

The Canadian Consul General was in town a few weeks ago talking about the trade between

Pennsylvania and Canada.

And there's some pretty cool startling facts about how much trade happens between Pittsburgh and

Pennsylvania with Canada.

And so she has some great insight.

I grabbed that interview at our TechVive radio podcast studio, which we're in right now, which is

brought to you by Huntington Bank.

So, you know, we always start the show off in high gear. and I'm really excited to have Tyler Steckley here from IQ Inc. He's been a longtime member of the Pittsburgh Technology Council. Tyler, thanks for hanging out with us tonight. Yeah, thanks for having us, Jonathan. So IQ Inc is such an amazing company. Barb Van Kirk started this company, I believe, 25 years ago. Yep, it's our big anniversary.

It's cool.

I'm excited.

So, 2019, we're going to have Barb stop by the show in the summertime, and we're doing some stuff in TEQ magazine as well in order to talk about the great work that you guys have been doing. And you just joined up with IQ just recently. So what do you do at IQ, Tyler? Yeah, so, you know, we're a mid-sized company, so the short answer is a little bit of everything.

I know, that makes it so much fun, right?
