Join in as I talk to none other than The Pen Addict himself, Brad Dowdy. Brad has been a staple in the stationery hobby for years and it was great to get a chance to talk to him about how he got to where he is today. We talk about his podcast that has been going for over 700 episodes, his former company of Nock Co. and his current part of Spoke Design. We cover all sorts of topics in what was a great conversation to be able to be a part of.
