In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we do something a little different... I wanted to show how working together with a partner and being able to leverage each other's strengths can lead to success. We take a look at the creative side matched with the business side and how splitting roles allows you to focus on "That one thing" that really makes you shine.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=C-b4vDUoQf0   We are joined by James Richards and Tim Smith. I first met James Richards through a mutual entrepreneurial friend, Michael Chiang (From Episode #11 where he teaches us to create an app from scratch) James invited me for a private screening of Tim's work at his downtown penthouse apartment in Manhatten. I was struck how raw and uncensored the work was. Through many (often inebriated) discussions with James and others, I learned a lot about the underground art scene in New York and the entrepreneurial spirit that runs through it. This was a really interesting episode to create and I hope you get as much out of it as I did...   In this episode you are going to learn: From the business side: Tips for curating your own collection as an investment Learning from your mistakes Why having a personal network is so paramount   From the creative side: What's hot in the art scene today Even artists need mentors How to be honest with yourself Why you need to always look forward   Check out the guy's amazing work at: Tim Smiths work currently on display at Avra Art Gallery: https://avraart.com/ Website: https://www.theartworkoftimsmith.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timsmithart/?hl=en Their VR exhibition: https://www.eazel.net/   Special shout out Tim's amazing art mentor, Mike Bell: Website: http://www.belldogstudio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikebelldog/?hl=en   Books we discuss: Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield Do the Work: Overcome Resistance and Get Out of Your Own Way Paperback by Steven Pressfield Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work by Steven Pressfield Principles: Life and Work Hardcover by Ray Dalio Market Wizards, Updated: Interviews With Top Traders Paperback by Jack D.
