Curious about the intersection of passion and business in the digital age? In this episode, I sit down with Brian Goulet, the co-founder of The Goulet Pen Co., who has turned a deep appreciation for the art of fountain pens into a successful online business. We're breaking down how a blend of passion, dedication, and savvy business tactics can lead to remarkable success in eCommerce. Listen in as Brian shares his journey through the challenges and victories of launching his company with scarce resources amid a financial crisis, and how a commitment to gradual growth, strategic patience, and organic development shaped their path to success. We also discuss the crucial role of maintaining a unique brand identity, the benefits of forming exclusive supplier partnerships, and the effectiveness of YouTube as a sales channel, despite platform changes.

** This is video is not sponsored. We are true fans of the Goulet Pen Company ** Today we interview Brian Goulet founder of The Goulet Pen Company. Nothing better than to geek out over fountain pens. The following is an excerpt from the company website: "The Goulet Pen Company originally began as a hobby in 2007, when Brian's lifelong interest in woodworking led him to purchase a small lathe and try penturning on a whim. Goulet Pens quickly became a hit with our friends and family. Despite the fact we were living in an apartment and Brian's "workshop" was on a covered balcony, we picked up our first corporate order and thus the hobby turned into a business in a matter of weeks. Brian made his pens on nights and weekends until late 2008, when he decided to devote his career to penturning. After making over 800 custom rollerball pens, Brian took an interest in fountain pens after attending the DC Fountain Pen Supershow in 2009. In late 2009, we decided to expand from writing instruments to enhancing the overall writing experience. We embraced the Clairefontaine family of products first, then gradually increased our ink offerings to nearly 600 ink colors, and continued to acquire new brands of quality fountain pens. The Goulet Pen Company has earned a loyal following by offering the finest products at competitive prices, superior customer service, and through the education and inspiration offered through our blog and social media channels."

Brian Goulet and Drew Brown of Gouletpens.com are starting a new regularly published podcast around the subject of fountain pens, ink, paper, and fine writing. They're doing this because fountain pens are still a thing, and because they love pens and want to share what they've learned in 10+ years of being "in the business" of fine writing. In this episode, Brian lays out the format of the show, talks about how it will work, what you can expect from it, and how to engage with them as they put out future episodes. Be sure to subscribe to get each episode as they release it! This will also be available on the Goulet Pen Company YouTube channel in video form.

This week, we have Brian Goulet on the show. He talks about his past, and why it was he became a retailer. Some may already know of his story, but none can say that they've heard it in this detail! I hope you enjoy the episode.  Oh yeah! Buy a t shirt! https://www.inkjournal.com/collections/stickers/products/penboyroy-official-t-shirt-black Be well. Be safe. Stay Inky. Write on. Wow. That's a whole lot of tag lines. 

Conventional ecommerce wisdom is that merchants should sell across multiple channels, manufacture or control their products, and scale. Don't tell that to Brian Goulet, president of The Goulet Pen Company, which sells high-end fountain pens and writing accessories. "I wanted to be a craftsman," Goulet told me. "That approach shapes our whole business. We have a craftsmanship mentality of high touch, high quality, high level of service — with a lower volume. I was never trying to scale or sell as much as possible. We were after a discerning customer." Ten years after Goulet co-founded the company with his wife, Rachel, Goulet Pens has 35 employees and 4,500 SKUs — all in its headquarters of Henrico, Virginia — and one sales channel: GouletPens.com. We recently spoke with Brian about launching the business, content marketing, and managing an expanding team.

Effective delegation is a skill any founder has to learn or the company will not grow. Brian Goulet co-Founder of The Goulet Pen Company learned the lesson of delegation in the trenches. He and his wife Rachel run an online retail store focusing on fountain pens, ink, paper, and other tools for the writing enthusiast. They have grown it from a mom-and-pop startup from their dining room table to a multi-million dollar operation with over 40 team members and a 12,000+sf office/warehouse space.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [0:10] Jeremy’s introduction of today’s guest, Brian Goulet. [1:33] The signature way Goulet Pens packages their products. [5:29] The ideal customer that Goulet Pens serves. [12:38] What Brian learned from Dave Ramsey, Gary V, and Seth Godin. [14:20] The biggest challenge: moving from a one man show to a team. [17:48] Brian’s background growing up with an entrepreneurial Dad. [22:25] The biggest challenges in delegation. [24:31] How Brian determines what things to delegate and what to keep. [26:48] The meetings the Goulet team holds and how they conduct them effectively. [41:26] How Brian teaches his kids in light of his experience with his Dad. [46:27] Why Brian turned down a great job offer after college.

[1:26:00] The proudest moments in business. In this episode… Learning how to effectively delegate as your company grows is difficult, to say the least. You’re used to being a solopreneur and have to begin passing along tasks and roles to others. If you don't, you’re going to smother yourself and the company. Brian Goulet of Goulet Pens shares how he has had to learn the art of delegation while maintaining high quality in his company, on this episode of Inspired Insider. Too often the founder of the company becomes the bottleneck that chokes the overall growth of the company. He/she does this by refusing to delegate tasks or hand over roles to other members of the team. Brian Goulet is an ultra-competent CEO who is committed to quality, and he found the task of delegation very hard to learn himself. On this episode, he shares how he overcame his hesitation and began to delegate effectively. Often, the excuse for not delegating is that it’s easier not to. The amount of time it takes to adequately train a person to take over high priority tasks is immense. But if the CEO continues to do those tasks he/she will be prevented from doing things that only he/she can do - the things that truly grow the company. Brian Goulet knew that pain himself and had to step out in faith as he brought on and trained team members to take over things he held dear. Find out how he did it on this episode. Too many companies are poised for explosive growth and miss it because of an ineffective delegation of tasks. The potential clients are there. The staff is there. But the systems and procedures are lagging behind because the founder or CEO has not seen the importance of setting aside time to build them and teach others to use them. It’s a time-consuming task but it has to be done if the company is to grow. You can hear how Brian Goulet of Goulet Pens overcame that hurdle in his company, on this episode. One of the hardest points in any business is when the needs of the family seem to be in conflict with the needs of the company. For Brian Goulet, that moment came as his co-founder, his wife - experienced ever siring levels of anxiety almost weekly and the company was poised for explosive growth. How did he handle the pressure? You can find out by hearing his story, on this episode.
