Marty opens the season with a discussion on social acupuncture, art, and a new look at problem solving with Dr. Orit Gal. Marty met Dr. Orit Gal at London Design Week. Orit is a great speaker with an endless amount of interesting topics to discuss. As you'll learn she's up to a lot, and has a perspective of the world that we'd all benefit from trying to add to our tactics for navigating life's complex systems.

Currently, a Senior Lecturer for Strategy and Complexity at Regent’s University London, Orit is a political economist with a deep curiosity for the inner workings of complex social systems. An expert generalist, she has worked in tech start-ups; corporate market research; peace building NGOs; and innovative policy and military think-tanks. Having the opportunity to closely observe decision makers operating in messy, volatile, and highly complex environments, she set on a passionate search for new knowledge that could help design more effective action. Social Acupuncture brings the fruits of this research to light.

Season Two of Life Artists starts with a more concise name, and an amazing interview for the first full episode.  Marty Bhatia continues to explore the inquiry of what it means to be a life artist, and managed to execute the plans from the very first episode 7 months earlier than declared. It has been an exhausting, wild, and life changing journey. The best part is that it's really just getting started.

Already a month into living in Brazil, Marty's perspective is already shifting, and the concept of being a Life Artist means more than ever. What was simply a dream is now a reality. 

Join Marty Bhatia on this 2 or 3 year trek around the world with his wife Megan and his 3.5 year old twins. He's a digital nomad, digital minimalist, that is all about self agency and being activated to create something in the world. Are you ready to explore your world a little more? Get powerful insights from brilliant people Marty interviews, and perhaps dare to take action. Maybe even become a Vigilante Volunteer. And, if you don't know what that is, you'll just have to listen.
