What happens when creativity, work ethic, and purpose collide?

On this episode of I’ll Get the Tip, Peter Friedman and Frank Monteiro sit down with artist and creative Grant Copeland at the Mattatuck Museum, surrounded by his exhibition, Harmony and Hypocrisy.

Grant shares the story behind his Harmony and Hypocrisy exhibition at the Mattatuck Museum, a collection of nine large-scale paintings created during a pivotal year in his life. He also opens up about suffering a stroke while completing the collection and the determination it took to finish the final pieces and make it to opening night.

The conversation also dives into Grant’s career in branding and marketing, his passion for giving back, the creation of the Upstarters youth leadership initiative, and the philosophy that continues to guide him: surround yourself with people who have ethics and work ethic.

What happens when hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen art simply disappears?

Arthur Brand, known around the world as the “Indiana Jones of the art world,” has dedicated his life to finding out.

In this episode of I’ll Get the Tip, Arthur takes us inside the secretive world of stolen masterpieces, international crime, and investigations that can take decades to crack. He shares how he became an art detective, what it’s really like working with police and informants in the criminal underworld, and why stealing a priceless painting is often much easier than figuring out what to do with it afterward.

The conversation also dives into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, the largest unsolved art theft in history, and Arthur’s ongoing search for answers more than three decades later.

From recovering the Gospel of Judas to tracking down Hitler’s missing bronze horses, Arthur’s career sounds more like a movie than real life. But behind every recovery are years of dead ends, dangerous connections, anonymous tips, and a willingness to keep chasing the mystery.

And he reveals something even bigger: another major discovery is coming soon, one he believes will make headlines around the world.

🎙️ This is one episode you’ll want to hear all the way through.
