Surrounding yourself with people that can be brutally honest with you. with Evan Beard

Beardo!  NFB senior ’05, class of ’06.  Dealing Million Dollar Art is his current trade.  His secret - discovering the old master painting and "bringing it to life" is the game.  Beard hails from Youngstown, Ohio where coal and steal was the way of life.  Having multiple Ivy league offers out of high school + Navy, Evan sets his eyes on Naptown. His journey from Annapolis -> Navy Intel… Then crosses over to Consulting for Deloitte, on to Bank of America as a managing director (Head of Art Services), NOW starting up an Art Dealing Masterwork where the sky is the limit.  Beardo discusses how fascinating the Art Market is for him and how he has focused on doing what he loves.  Also, how a start up is HEAVY…but worth the ride.  Don’t miss the documentary he was filmed in called “The lost Leonardo” centered around a specific painting.  Painting investment?… original purchase of $1,175 in 2005 and sold at $450 million in 2017.  Talk about running past Inflation!  Evan Beard is staying focused on his “red threads” and it’s working.
