The book was mentioned in the introduction, and describes how the author went undercover to rescue stolen art from around the world. It was also referenced later during the conversation about how thieves often destroy the art when they know they are being investigated.
"
Robert Wittman (...) is the former senior investigator/creator of the FBI's national art crime team and author of Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures.
I was surprised actually to read that Art Crime is a $6 billion dollar a year industry. Do you think it's more now since you've written the book or do you think it's gone down?
I thought it was interesting in the book, you mentioned that these guys are not in it because they love art. It's just pure greed.
I read in your book that thieves, and this was, it made me like cringe so hard. Often thieves destroy the art if they know they're being investigated. So your prime directive is to get the art and getting the thief as a bonus.
It's weird where you find some of this stuff, right? Like you write in the book about finding was it a giant Chinese ancient crystal ball found in like a housekeeper's room or a garage, stuff like that.
You mentioned something that I thought was actually quite genius in the book. And I'm not sure if I'm reading into this too much, but you call this the decoy, where you find a bond with the target that doesn't have anything to do with the case at hand.
You're talking about the fact that you had been to dinner at his house. You knew his family. He and I had become friends as the only way we could do the business. Ultimately, he was arrested. He was caught. Yeah, he wrote me a note. He said that he was devastated by the fact that I was in undercover agent and that's the situation.
And you feel deflated when the operation is over. What's going on there? That's not something I expected to see or hear.
You also mentioned there's a lot of little undercover stories in the book that I think are pretty fascinating. If something makes you nervous, like getting in a target's car, don't do it. Just make an excuse. It seems like that's a great tip, but also probably really hard to do in the moment, especially if you can kind of almost just taste the deal is right in front of you, right? It's just like you're ready to close it, but something just doesn't sit quite right.
I know that I'm trying to lead you to this story where was it you that used all these photos from like the FBI stolen art website or something like that?
I read that you always call your wife before undercover busts. Why do that? What does that do for you?
I thought of him when you wrote that you inspected the paintings using UV because the UV coding on an old painting is there and it's pretty uniform because of the age.

For An Audience of One

It was discussed how focusing on creating something worthy of attention, rather than seeking attention itself, can lead to a wider audience. The book's central message is to create for oneself and not worry too much about external validation.
"
So an audience of one, I gotta admit, if I'm creating something, I don't want an audience of one initially, right? That's a little depressing.
I think that so often we try really hard to get somebody's attention, and I think the question we should be asking instead of how do I get somebody's attention is how do I create something that's worthy of somebody's attention?
And I think really it's summed up well by something they said, you don't need to have your picture on the cover of magazines to make great music.
But the idea of an audience of one is not like I said, to produce something of low quality that doesn't deserve attention, but rather to focus on creating something that is so good that people can't help but pay attention to it.
So I think that what has happened as a result of the fact that we're obsessed with outcomes is that something that should bring a great deal of the way, so I think that's a great deal of joy to our life, expressing our creativity, making things has ended up bringing a great deal of distress to our life.
