Third week of April, third week hitting the road!This week, I’m headed to Memphis, Tennessee to visit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to prep for our big Relay fundraiser in September. Since 2019, the Relay community has raised over $4 Million for this amazing cause, and I’m glad to play even a tiny role in this. Travel means my schedule is wonky once again this week, but aside from my regular streams things will run mostly as normal.

I was so close!With Myke out, I’ve surprisingly had the podcast on lock - until now. Don’t let your ears deceive you, as I continually call this episode 670 throughout the show. Oops. It’s not worth AI Brad re-recording the number, so we will just roll with it. On the content front, Kimberly Lau, aka @allthehobbies, joined me for her performance review this week. I asked her all of the #ASKTPA we needed to catch up on - how did she do? Pretty great, if you ask me.

(Note: I write a weekly newsletter for Pen Addict Members. This week, I’m sharing my opening few paragraphs to Issue #470, where I recap the Atlanta Pen Show. I think it is important to share, because I think we, as a stationery community, are at an inflection point as to what constitutes a good pen show. If you like what you read and want to see more, this is a tiny fraction of the additional content I create for Members. For $5 a month, you can help support my work.
