*Just a quick note- friends sitting around a table sometimes use more colorful language when they’re comfortable with each other. If you’re listening to this episode around kids, you may want to throw in some earbuds- we promise it will be just as good.
John LaRue is one of those guys who you meet and instantly want to spend hours talking to. Softspoken with a boisterous laugh and stories to match, John is one of your new best friends.
John’s story is varied and interesting, to say the least. From receiving not one, but two patents before his 15th birthday, to a career that has ranged from restauranteur to teacher, and now barback/custodian/emcee/security/holder of all the keys at one of the most innovative artistic establishments in Dallas’ Deep Ellum neighborhood, John consistent mission has always been to connect people. As co-founder of Deep Ellum Art Company: a performance venue, gallery, and bar dedicated to the “Creative and Native,” John now works to connect artists with lovers of the arts, often giving artists their first gallery experience.
