Art is the New Wall Street is BACK! Host Morgan Short kicks off season 2 with a solo episode summarizing season one, setting intentions for season two, and shedding light on the societal structures that often exploit rather than support us. These very structures sparked the creation of the show and are the basis for the show’s name.

After a health scare last November that forced Morgan to slow down, she’s approaching this season with more ease and grace. Season 1 included 13 episodes that connected with over 1,000 listeners. This season you can expect about one meaningful episode per month.

Season 2 will feature stories from people like Katherine Pomfret (our next guest) who have left high-paying corporate careers to pursue alternative paths. We'll explore what happens when we reject the "Wall Street mentality" and embrace creativity and all the beautiful things that make us human.
