In this episode, we catch up with Bryce Gillett from Luxury Brands of America, who also happens to sponsor this multi-dozen-dollar podcast empire. "Biryce" spills the tea about the acquisition of Laban Pens in the USA, and hypothesizes about why the Platinum 3776 Chai Latte is selling so well. Is there such a thing as too much sparkly Benu? Find out in this fun interview.

You might be able to still find the Platinum 3776 Shape of a Heart Chai Latte at pen retailers like Goldspot when they arrive in March/April of 2024. The third in the "Shape of a Heart" special editions, "Chai Latte" has a matte finished resin body and cap with warm, cozy colors accented with rose gold trims and a 14kt rose gold nib. The cherry on top is the literal crown of the pen. The cap's finial has a dome that encloses zirconia with three gold hearts that were punched out from the nib manufacturing process. Gorgeous! Only 2,000 pens made.
 
Plus, the wait is almost over for the Endless Alchemy inks. The Alchemy ink bottle designs "ink"-courages you to play with your ink. Each bottle includes a special base. On one side of the base, you can tilt the bottle and roll it on its side. On the other side of the base, the bottle stands upright to allow direct vertical access into your ink.
 

Ballpoint pens suck. But, if you're going to write with a ballpoint pen, you might as well write with one that helps save the cute animals in the rainforest.
