International travel may be off the table for now, but for the first episode of our new season, Jason Arbuckle of J. Falkner swings by America to chat from London! J. Falkner may be the only range I've come across that so closely associates itself with a city: in this case, colorful, sunny Palm Beach.

Receiving one of these cards is the card equivalent of catching up with a dear friend over cocktails in some glamorous locale. The brand is really a reflection of Jason himself: he's amazingly dapper, he's witty and well-read, he's entertaining and he's oh-so-much fun to catch up with, as you'll hear.

We touch on his brand's Palm Beach origins, finding inspiration in and around London, Jason's fabulous IG feed, the joy of spying on card shoppers, creating new card designs to help people connect during a pandemic, running an international operation during COVID-19, the current mood in London — as well as the silver linings he's found in these crazy times.
