013: Selling Art As An Entrepreneur – James Richards & Tim Smith
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.

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...
