About this Show

Most of us were taught the same story.

Choose the practical path. Keep your head down. Build a life that makes sense on paper, even if it asks you to shrink the most creative parts of yourself.

Art is the New Wall Street is a podcast about what happens when people stop doing that. When they listen to themselves. When they choose a life that feels aligned instead of one that simply looks stable.

Every month, host Morgan Short sits down with artists and creative people who walked away from the expected path. Musicians, writers, videographers, designers, dancers, photographers, poets. People who chose their creative work and built a life around it, not the other way around.

If you’re craving alignment, expression, purpose, or a new story entirely, you’re in the right place.

This show isn’t about algorithms, hustle, or perfection. It’s about the inner work of becoming who you really are. It’s about identity, courage, self-trust, and the moment you finally say: I can’t keep living a life that doesn’t fit me.

Through conversations and short solo episodes, Morgan explores:

Finding your creative identity
Leaving the version of success you inherited
Working through self-doubt and imposter feelings
Returning to the parts of yourself you abandoned
Building a creative life inside or outside a 9–5
Sharing your story in a way that feels true
Creating work that actually aligns with who you are

This show is for anyone who feels the pull toward something more creative, more honest, more alive. For the artist stuck in corporate who knows there’s a story inside them that refuses to die. For the creative who wants to build a life from their gifts instead of burying them.

Art is the New Wall Street asks one central question:

What if creativity wasn’t the thing you fit in when you had time, but the thing you built your life around?
