This week we are joined by Brad Dowdy. Brad is a CEO of the analog tools company Nock.co. He is also the creator of the Pen Addict and co-hosts the Pen Addict Podcast. Two years ago, Brad quit his full time job of 15 years as a system administrator and pursued his side-hustles head on.

Since then, he's built the largest pen and paper community in the world.

In this conversation, we talk about his Fascination with Analog Utilities, fathering a "weird" hobby community, and a breakdown of his side hustling/entrepreneur journey.
