This week, on the second episode of season 2, we have Jérôme Bacquias who is the

founder & managing Director at paper republic. Don't know this awesome brand? In

short, it's a company making notebooks and fine leather goods based out of

Vienna, Austria and my personal private addiction (hey, I could have worst

addictions) At paper republic, they are committed to respect & authenticity.

They aim to respect our environment by creating products that are made

to last and are crafted from sustainable and natural materials. They are

beautiful and they are awesome!

* Learning by trial and error, having the courage of just walking in and asking
