Are You Going to Help Me?

Karl and I met through an introduction. I was looking for artists and instead I met an art dealer and my curiosity took over. Have you ever met an art dealer? I had not until this moment. So he graciously took me up on my offer to chat about how he entered into the world of art dealership from being a Marketing Director for former Governor Deval Patrick. He also shares hair stories as a child in the barbershop and what joy it brought him. Enjoy! His Bio:Karl McLaurin founded Oak Hill Consulting Partners in 2016 primarily to leverage his broad experience in both private sector business and public sector community building.
