Meet the Hosts
Morgan McLintic
Co-host
Morgan is the founder of Firebrand and veteran startup marketing and PR guy. He literally has a bag of dumb questions on his desk which he will ask, so you don’t have to. He’s the one with the British accent.
Nicole Pytel
Co-host
Nicole is Firebrand’s VP of Content Marketing and loves finding new ways to engage leads. This startup marketing pro used to be a sports reporter and news anchor, so expect a few curve balls.
Chris Ulbrich
Co-host
As Firebrand’s head of media relations, Chris keeps a weather eye on breaking news and trends in tech coverage. With a background as a reporter and editor, he’s all about the story.
Ian Lipner
Co-host
Wherever there is a crisis, Ian will be there. Not because he has bad luck, but because he’s great at fixing them. He’s also great at spotting trends, except in fashion. Bit of a blind spot there.
