About Karl Marking

Karl spent the majority of his career in global change management and has been involved with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion since before it had a name. Karl knew by fifth grade he was gay, came out at 21 during the height of the AIDS crisis, and lives with his husband in Pennsylvania.

Karl has travelled much of the US and has been to Canada, England, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, Hungary, France, Brazil, the Carribean, and Philly.

Karl's stories are largely autobiographical in nature. \"I'm a survivor of an unfortunate amount of childhood abuse and have spent roughly thirty years, off and on, in therapy unpacking it, sorting it, and doing my best to be my best. As a result I'm introspective, pragmatic, analytical, considerate, well boundaried, and direct. Oh! And funny.\"

If You Don't Want My Opinion... will not post episodes on any particular schedule, so be sure to follow it to get notified of new episodes!
