In all my obsessing over books the last year or two, I've gotten away from board gaming a bit. I'm still playing, mind you, and occasionally I'm still purchasing. But the closet's pretty full already. True, the same could be said of my bookshelves, but board games are a lot bigger and more expensive than books. Today I'm going to use this space to finally get around to keeping a promise I made more than a year ago — my suggestions for starting a board collection from scratch.1. The Mind2. Love Letter3.

In todays monthly report, were talking about my favorite books of the month & the book that put me in a reading slump. I share the journey of buying a condo in NYC, re-starting the artists way, my thoughts on the VPR finale & more!

My plan this month was to start my halftime report on the books I'm reading this year, but that's going to have to wait. The plan now is for a show on my most thought-provoking books, another for surprising books, and then one for my best books. I'll be sharing those with you in June, Lord willing, instead of the regular monthly report. But I just finished “Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea,” by Charles Seife, and I had too much to say to just leave it to an item on a list. So I'm sharing it here – and in doing so, I'm announcing a new scientific principle I am modestly naming Hal's Law. First, let me encourage you to subscribe to the podcast if you have not done so, and share with someone else if you have. Find "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea," by Charles Seife, at https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/zero-the-biography-of-a-dangerous-idea_charles-seife/255143/?resultid=037c9693-b705-4b4d-9034-27ad9606084e#edition=2345585&idiq=3074762 and other retail and resale sites.My YouTube channel is at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL3vweLti5pi42_dFFWD2_A Music is copyright-free and royalty-free, courtesy of Pixabay.  Intro music: "The Beat of Nature," Olexy.

Sally Hirst was born to teach. Fortunately, she was also born an artist. Like most of us, she adapted to the new reality that she was faced with at the beginning of the pandemic. Well, actually, she did more than adapt. She thrived. She took the challenge head on and has been thriving ever since. Sally and I discuss what her income sources looked like before Covid and look like now. Specifically, we talk about her teaching: The teaching platform she uses and why she chose it The skills she had to acquire in order to teach online Her video recording setup What her teaching schedule looks like in terms of what is pre-recorded and what is live. How she attracts new students. Sally reveals how Brexit has impacted her goals—especially where she shows and sells her art. And I wondered: How does Sally manage to maintain her studio practice with her busy teaching schedule?

Lately, I've been diving into money on The Art Biz. As much as I do NOT want to talk about money, I know it's necessary. I also know it's more necessary for some artists to make money from their work than for others. If you're lucky enough to have outside support for your art business—even if it's from a day job—count your blessings. Because the pressure on the work is real when you don't have that extra source of income, which is why I will continue to bring up the topic of money. Let's continue the conversation in this episode. Kelly Pelfrey's goal in 2020 was to replace her $50,000 teaching salary, but she quadrupled that. Her income has allowed her husband to leave his job to focus on his doctorate, feel comfortable about taking maternity leave, and save for college for her children. Kelly shares her income sources, which are dominated by sales of commissions, followed distantly by releases of small paintings. She also sells art for TV screens, has a monthly print release, and a coffee table book. Kelly obviously has the pulse of her best collectors. Her work is strong for sure, but I also believe that people are buying into Kelly's joy and optimism. When you hear her and detect that in her voice, I think you'll know what I mean.

In this episode, I'm doing something different and sharing my money odyssey from an interview with Parker Stevenson of The Bottom Line podcast by Evolved Finance. I reveal: How my dad taught me to balance my checkbook (and how it was quite different from my mother's suggestion). How I learned to ask for money by collecting money for charities as a little girl. That I set the curve in my accounting classes at the University of Wyoming. How I gamed the system to get cash because I knew the checks I was writing would take 8 days to process. How little money I had when I quit my museum job to start my business. How I came up with the income accelerator for artists, which I teach in The Money Plan success workshop and Create Opportunities. ⭐️ ABOUT The Bottom Line by Evolved Finance The Bottom Line by Evolved Finance explores the financial journeys of some of the most successful educators, thought leaders, influencers, and service providers in the online space. Each week, Parker Stevenson sits down with a current Evolved Finance client to talk about their relationship with money and how their mindset has changed as their business has grown. Parker is the Chief Business Officer at Evolved Finance, an accounting firm that specializes in helping online entrepreneurs to build more profitable and financially stable online businesses. They do all of the bookkeeping for Art Biz Success and I just love how professional their whole operation is. They don't just do the books, they also go to great lengths to educate their clients.

The International Energy Agency's monthly report was published at the end of last week. Head of Commodities Callum Macpherson discusses what the IEA had to say about the state of the oil market. HELP MITIGATE YOUR RISK

Summary Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones (Website; Wikipedia) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss his book. He has studied American intelligence for 50 years. What You'll Learn Intelligence The CIA and the American presidents they served   The founding of the CIA just as America became a global superpower  Pearl Harbor, the USSR and covert action under Eisenhower Assassinations, controversy, the Church Committee, and 9/11 Reflections How much of the future can we predict Intention in history And much, much more… Episode Notes This week's guest, Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, is Emeritus Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh. He has been studying American intelligence for half a century and has written a history of the CIA to coincide with its 75th anniversary, entitled: A Question of Standing.    This episode with Rhodri is a counterpoint to last week's episode with Robert Gates: a career historian and a career intelligence officer; a European and an American; a 70,000 feet view and a 30,000 feet one. Interestingly, they were born continents apart within almost a year of each other.   Rhodri is the author of over a dozen books, has a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, and grew up in Harlech, Wales.   And… Harlech, Wales, where Rhodri grew up, has the steepest street in the Northern Hemisphere. The steepest street in the Southern Hemisphere, and the world according to Guinness Records, is in Dunedin, New Zealand (Dunedin is Gaelic for Edinburgh). The steepest street in the continental United States is Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh (to celebrate its Welsh heritage the Steel City has a St. David's Society). Espionage in Welsh is ysbïo. Quote of the Week "CIA can't afford to rest on its laurels and continue with systems it has. It has to change all the time." – Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones Resources *Andrew's Recommendation* “Documents on Origins of CIA,” Truman Library [pdf] *SpyCasts* “The 75th Anniversary” – with Robert Gates (2022) *Beginner Resources* History of CIA, CIA (n.d.)
