Guys. This podcast so good. Like, change your life kinda good. Listening to CPT has changed the trajectory of my creative career in the best ways! In addition to having amazing guests on the show who are super inspiring and/or relatable, Andy’s storytelling and pep talks are the perfect blend of supportive, inspiring, motivating, and funny. Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough!!

Positive, Constructive, Creative Fuel
Creative pep talk is one of my favorite podcasts. It gave me hope again after burning out my senior year of college and working at jobs I don’t feel passion for. Andy’s vibe will just make you feel better with his positivity. I think the most valuable aspects are that he gives you things you can work on and think about for your creative career path and listening to other creatives talk about theirs. Give it a shot and give your self some PEP!

Glad I Came Across Creative Pep Talk
Some of the conversations on this podcast have really made me realize important things about my life & how I can realistically pursue my creative dreams. This podcast is great for all people no matter which stage of their creative journey they’re in. There’s something for everyone!

Mindset shift
It’s about time I write down some compliments about Andy and CPT. After a whirlwind of tough years I almost had given up on myself. At the beginning of this year I decided I’d give myself a new chance. Andy and CPT have been a large influence in helping to keep me going and to help me shift my old ways of thinking into a new mindset of staying active and figure out how to approach obstacles and turn them into oppertunities. There’s stil a long way to go but I’m really grateful how CPT has helped me to where I am right now. Andy is open, honest, realistic, and know’s what your going through. He has a very heartfelt way of sharing his own knowledge and experience. Thank you Andy!

Exceptional
Creative pep team, the gold you drop in each podcast is amazing.
I’ve binged listened so many episodes in the last week, it’s not only lifted my spirits but given me actionable career advice, of which I’m so grateful for right now.
I think Andy and co are inspiring not only as artists, but for kind, generous human beings that I aspire to be more like.
Thank you!

Thank you, Andy, from Lodi Ohio
Just listened to the interview with Jamie Drake as I painted in my studio...another heartfelt learning and sharing journey from a beautiful soul! I am 73 years old, a retired high school art teacher, painter, and lover of all things that advance the human condition. I first heard you on The Savvy Painter podcast and decided I needed to listen and subscribe to the Creative Pep Talk, because...who doesn’t need a creative pep talk on a regular basis!? I am not looking to advance my career or even start one, but I do thoroughly enjoy the interviews, the deep dives into the psyche of artists, the encouragements, the sharing of personal journeys, ideas, insecurities, and fresh takes on the business of art in these times. Thank you for being a constant companion in my studio. Never, ever stop learning.

Thank God for Andy J Pizza
I’ve been loyal listener for over two years now...and each episode is exactly what I needed to hear that week. This is such a great podcast for artists but especially for all those quirky artists out there...Andy makes you feel confident in your quirks and helps you use them to your advantage.

Helps me keep going
I love that there are episodes for every phase of the creative process. There are messages to get you motivated, help you discover your voice, evolve, refine, and grow, etc. But I think what I appreciate the most is the encouragement and reassurance during this particular era of humanity. I just listened to episode 272 and it helped me feel more optimistic about the situation. Thank you!

An absolute joy.
Don’t always get to listen to it each week but when I do, it is always a 100% mood booster. I LOVE the interview with Abbi Jacobson. Thanks, Andy. 💕

I’ve found my people!
Listening to Andy’s podcasts feels like sitting in a room with other people who finally “get” me. All of the things I thought were reasons I’m not where I want to be yet on my creative journey or quirks that have always made me feel different from others have been dragged out, one by one, and examined in a new light which finally makes sense. And (surprise) I’m not alone, not by far. I’m just an artist. Andy has helped me understand myself as an emerging artist, accept where I am on my personal journey and feel inspired to keep going, again and again. Thank you!

One of the most rewarding podcasts.
Andy has such a way to be personable and make you feel like you’re in the room with him. He is talking to you personally and give himself the same pep talk. It makes you feel empowered about your art and make you understand it takes a lot of work.. but it’s worth it. ❤️ Thank you so much Andy.

A friend recommended this podcast to me for a bit, and I finally got around to checking it out. I just thanked her for repeatedly recommending it and told her what it did for me. She suggested I share my enthusiasm here (always paying it forward, that one). So here’s my text!
“Yeah, so far it's been SO valuable! I dunno how it morphs over time but so far it's just bombshells. It's the way I feel when I've just been talking with someone about creative plans, you know? When you're so lit up you go home and write a whole song or film or whatever and don't eat and it's 11pm all of a sudden lol. I love that feeling.”

MAN am I glad I found this podcast!
Only a few episodes in and I’ve found myself rewinding, pausing to run and grab a note book to take notes and even listening to episodes multiple times to make sure I don’t miss anything. Andy goes on these tangents that are just full of inspiring goodness that I don’t want to forget! And he’s hilarious!! So glad there are sooo many episodes ahead of me I still have to listen to!!!

Last episode
Love ur podcast every week I listen! Always valuable information! Just this last episode i wanted to comment on because it seems to me you played it faster than the natural speed and for someone with add ,like u, its imposible to keep up its really overwhelming. I would need 100% of my undivided attention to not loose the train of thought.. if i distract for a second i loose a ton of conversation.. i don’t know if its just me, i just hope its just this one episode. I have tried to listen to other podcasts that do this but its truly imposible for me. i just want to keep on listening to u every week.. anyway thanks for showing up and delivering 100% always!

Absolutely Amazing
I have been listening to Andy J Pizza’s podcast for about a year now, and absolutely love it! He is hilarious, so inspirational and full of wisdom. He uses great metaphors to explain concepts and ideas, and because I am such a visual thinker it helps me a lot to absorb what he says. I am just beginning my creative career and this podcast has been exactly what I need to believe in myself and my potential! Thanks Andy!! 💛✨

Speaking to my soul.
The host is 100% talking to my inner artist self. I’m 12 min into my first episode and I had to come leave a review because I just know I’m going to soak all of this in. Not to mention host is naturally hilarious! Major bonus!
