Episode 157: Viva la Fountain Pen Revolution with Kevin Thiemann

People made fun of Kevin Thiemann for having poor handwriting. So, naturally, he built a business designing and selling fountain pens to prove the haters wrong. In this episode, Kevin shares his story of how he started Fountain Pen Revolution from small stationery stores in India to opening up his own shop in Texas.

If you want to borrow my Waldmann Titan fountain pen, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. Coming soon from Luxury Brands of America (US distributor for Waldmann, Germany) is the "Titan" - a pen made from solid titanium with a sandblasted matte finish. As you can imagine, I love it and I think you will, too. That is if you can get one (of two hundred pens made worldwide) before they sell out. Check this pen out at any Waldman retailer when it arrives.
