Co-owner and founder of Narwhal Pens, Frank Zhang, joins us to talk about how the company started, the struggles encountered, and the fresh perspectives that two 20-somethings bring to the pen industry. We also discuss this past weekend's LA Pen Show and the troubling issues plaguing pen show vendors. As promised, the winner of the Narwhal Nautilus Bronze Corydoras fountain pen is announced during this episode. Listen and see if you are the winner.
