== Welcome Kerry Yeager ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that predates the Kenro time too, is maybe like right before? I don't know. I'd have to go back and look. I didn't listen to it, but that sounds right to me.

'''Kerry Yeager:''' Yeah, it was right before. I was, you know, sewing my oats, if you will, looking around and going through the interview process here and there and trying to find my way. And just, you know, it's kind of like you where you decided that this is your life. This is where you want to be. These are the people you want to be with and interact with on a daily basis. And I was at that point. And yeah, it wasn't very long after we did that podcast that I settled in with Kenro.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's fortunate you had some extra spare time for me back then because you're such a busy man now. I am grateful for you taking the time out for doing this because we talk so frequently. And it's usually just like in passing, like we're each running opposite directions and we'll yell things at each other as we're going by. It's like, you good? You good? Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. You good? You good? Yeah, yeah, we're good. We're good. All right. I'll talk to you later. And then like, we'll see each other tomorrow and do the same thing. So right now, what is your job title with Kenro? And for those who don't know, Kenro is the US distributor for many, many brands, a lot of great fountain pen brands. We're going to talk about it in a minute. But what do you do for Kenro just to kind of lay the groundwork of what we're going to talk about here a little bit?

'''Kerry Yeager:''' For Kenro, for right now, it's a lot of sales, web work. I do a lot of stuff on the website and on the back end like that. And then product development, which obviously we're going to get deep into. That was something that came about soon after I got to Kenro. And, you know, that's like the day to day grind is pretty much those three things. You're talking about new product, you're grinding out the sales and trying to bring those products out and putting them on the web so that all those people can see it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And Kenro is strictly US or is it US and Canada that you that you are the distributor for? Or how does how is that just geographical layout work?

'''Kerry Yeager:''' We are we are US and Canada, which is one reason we ventured off into script as the last few years.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, we're gonna talk about that.

'''Kerry Yeager:''' Yeah, that was that's always a good time. So yeah, yeah.
