Show Notes:

I had a fun conversation with Michael Canfield on his podcast 'On the Dogwatch.'

To listen, just press play above.

We discuss building a business and how I create products for LOCHBY.

Here are some of the points we cover:

• How LOCHBY got started (and the "passionate rediscovery" that it was born out of)
• My product design system
• The adventure of a lifetime that led me to find the perfect partner to help design and manufacture LOCHBY’s products
• How setbacks can lead to comebacks
• How I ended up in the "Fountain Pen Boat" and why it's been smooth and plain sailing - ever since!
• The reason why the modular look and feel of the Field Journal is so important and so different
• How LOCHBY's Field Journal is like a “Trapper Keeper” for adults (and why people love it!)
• What is "bar tacking" and why we use it on our products.
• The "on-ramp" for first time fountain pen users (including the top 3 pens I recommend)
• Who does LOCHBY serve best? This “Venn Diagram Overlap” explains it BEST!
• New products for 2022
• And more...
