Listener Reviews

I absolutely love this podcast for helping me mentally through my creative career. Andy is expressive and passionate and you can really tell he means everything he says. Also his 7 step ‘creative career path’ section, starting from around episode 170, has been so beneficial to my mindset and my career. Thanks Andy!

Can’t say enough good things about this podcast! Andy provides practical information for building a creative career while also encouraging you and making you feel seen and understood on a spiritual level! I am not exaggerating when I say this has changed my life and the way I view my career as an artist. It has helped me embrace the business side of things and has inspired me to strive for goals I used to think were unattainable. No matter where you are in your creative career, I strongly suggest listening to Creative Pep Talk! Thank you dr pizza for everything!!

I stumbled on this podcast about 6 months ago and have been OBSESSED ever since! If you’re a creative/artist of any kind and want to/are in business you need this in your life. Andy is full of practical tips, enchanting encouragement, and silliness that will make all your days better!

I am NOT a podcast person except for this one! Each episode makes me laugh out loud, but also gives me help and insight for navigating the creative career maze/labyrinth... I’ve recommended the podcast to friends starting “regular” businesses and creative careers alike! So good!!

This is, without any doubt, the best podcast I know for creative people. Andy talks so passionately not only about creating a thriving creative career (in practical terms, through marketing and strategy), but also about finding purpose as a creative and the reason why we are here on this planet. Big stuff! Incredibly inspiring and encouraging, the best way to get motivated. Thank you Dr. Pizza! Finding this podcast was trully game changing.

I love this podcast, I listen to it in the studio in the mornings and it really helps me think. Andy!! 💓 Keep doing you dude!! 😉😘

...if that makes no sense to you, just give this podcast a listen and you’ll understand profound, hard-hitting lessons in fun, quirky wordustrations. I look forward to this podcast every single week, and Andy has truly helped me move on from dreaming about what my painting career might someday taste like to me actually getting up off my seat and slathering tasty paint on that canvasbread!! (Ok, this is why I paint and don’t try to verbalize fun metaphors ;~) Thanks for all you do, Andy!!

This is the best resource I've found for navigating creative careers. Thank you so much Andy for your work. I feel seen and understood and we've never met!

Actual exercises and methods you can use to get more serious about a career in the arts. Breaks down business for people who couldn’t care less about climbing the corporate ladder but know you gotta make money to keep making art. Dude’s got a good soul

Andy delivers practical gold to creative neurons, making them fire in a way that creates order for ideas to work in a way that gets exchanged for cash. If I would have had this podcast 20 years ago, I would have had a voice telling me why the arts aren’t a pipe dream and I could have flipped the bird to my grandmother and her type-a mainstream thinking.

Andy’s pep talks led to me to starting my own podcast over a year ago and I haven’t looked back since. Thanks for the constant encouragement!

I love how Andy provides practical tips while being funny and vulnerable. Quality content!

I’ve been listening Creative Pep Talk for almost three years now. I love it. As an in-house creative, my motivation can sometimes just plummet. CPT has been a source of inspiration and really is such a great pep talk. Somehow, whenever I’m in a funk, Andy releases a new episode that talks about the exact issues I’m struggling with. He’s charismatic, witty, and extremely empathetic. I go back and listened to specific episodes over just to really get his message to sink in. You can tell he truly cares about the messages he conveys, and I really enjoy his insights and the research he does on creativity and motivation. My favorite series of episodes has to be on the Creative Side Quests (and not just because of his Legend of Zelda references). Andy is just super genuine and wants to help, and I honestly feel like his Creative Pep Talks are incredibly helpful. If you’re looking for motivation, this is the podcast for you!

Thank you Andy, for all the inspiration!! Your dose of weirdness is wonderful, and the advice is infinitely valuable.

I started listening to this podcast a little over a month ago and I just can’t thank Andy enough for creating it. It has made such a positive impact on my life already. I’ve gained more courage, confidence, and motivation to do more creative work and now I’m in better place than I was a month ago! I will continue looking forward to Andy’s sincere and powerful words of encouragement every week!

Andy is great. Keep it up. Love listening and getting inspired.

This podcast is entertaining, informing and eye-opening for creative people. Andy’s humor lights up my day any day!

Andy really provides a lot of good info and advice but his “radio” personality can be too much some times, which is no fault of his own, just something that can be sometimes off putting.

I've been a listener for a while now and a lot of the content of this podcast resonates with me, especially when Andy J Miller just spills his heart out and does episodes of him just talking.He makes a lot of good points. What made me knock off a star is that with a lot of the interview episodes, a lot of times he talks over the guest speakers and that just creates a very unpleasant listening experience. Other than that its a good show.

What a gem! I'm so glad I was pointed to this podcast by creative friends! "It really is a pep talk!" they said. "He's funny and helpful and you'll love it," they said. The episode on taste and intution came just when I most needed the confidence building Andy's insight offered. That's what a pep talk is supposed to do! I'm grateful and encouraged. Thank you!

i found this podcast at the most perfect time of my life. it has been a source of positivity and inspiration, and a perfect way to start my morning to keep me focused on my artistic and professional goals. i have recommend this podcasts to a number of my friends, and i hope others find it as motivating as i have. i’m so grateful to have found it. :)

I started listening only a month ago and I haven’t listened to anything else... Andy is full of wisdom and hilarity, and I have already learnt so much. Excited to keep listening and having him guide me on my journey of discovery !! THANKS ANDY (you’re an inspiration) x

Found this show on a whim and I absolutely love the content. Andy is such a quirky guy and it warms my soul to hear great advice from someone with a similar mindset.For those mentioning the tangents, that’s sort of what I like about the show. It breaks away from the typical bombardment of info that’s become present in a lot of podcasts as of late. It helps to drift a bit, lol. Not to mention, I believe the host has ADHD — and is very upfront about it within the show — so I’d assume tangents come with the territory. Regardless, the show is very insightful and motivating. I’m so glad to have found it. Keep doing what you do, sir!

I’m currently a 3rd year visual arts and graphic design student, and Andy’s podcast has played an integral part in my personal creative development, providing in-depth concepts, ideas, self exploration techniques and much more. I take notes and engage in his exercises as they are productive actionable steps to enhance my creative potential. Couldn’t recommend more!
