Very helpful !
Settle in for some extended philosophical musings on life and the creative path. Not what you expect -- it really goes deep into its subject matter.
Always have tissues and a notebook handy when you listen to this podcast -- you might à a creative breakthrough or you might just finally realise what's been holding you back and have a cathartic breakdown.
Both options will change your life for the better.
Thank you Andy 🙏🏼

Just what I needed
Intellectually, I knew that becoming a successful creator was more than just talent. I knew a certain amount of strategy would be needed too, but I wasn’t clear about how to do both. Creative Pep Talk shows how to do this in a fun and welcoming way. I really enjoy this podcast- it has become my absolute favorite. Thanks, Andy, for sharing your insights, for the interviews and for the massive inspiration!

Love my pep!
I’m an abstract painter and listening to the creative pep talk is my favorite way to paint now. Every podcast it’s like Andy is my own personal cheerleader as I push through the doubt and disaster to create!

Let the positivity wash over you
As a burgeoning illustrator, I find Andy’s talks comforting. It’s nice to know others have similar doubts and anxieties but can still accomplish their goals. He feels like a friend that I need! Thanks Andy!

I can’t believe I didn’t find this before
Thank you Andy, seriously. I am learning a lot about how to figure out things about this wild adventure that is trying to make and build a creative career. Thanks!

Energetic, exciting & inspiring
Not only does Andy give killer advice, but he also takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. You’ll laugh, you’ll nearly cry, you’ll feel like you can conquer the world.
I love how deep Andy gets on topics, and his metaphors are so perfect and really help in understanding. He talks about topics that actually matter. And yeah, sometimes he does go off on rants that are kind of crazy but those are like my FAVORITE parts. Because it’s raw, it’s true. I feel like I’m listening to a best friend give me the best kinds of advice. I’ll legit be laughing in my car like almost to tears just listening to him and it’s just pure awesomeness. Thanks for all that you put into it Andy, it makes a difference! 💯🖤

Incredibly powerful.
This podcast has changed me and has made me a stronger creator. Whenever I’m feeling down about my creative career, this podcast recenters me. Andy has made me cry and laugh multiple times in the same podcast. I feel like this podcast opens my heart more. I really am grateful for Andy’s vulnerability and all the hard work of the whole CPP team. Proud to be a pepperoni!

Best Creative Podcast Ever
This is hands down my favorite creative podcast/resource of all time! It is the perfect combination of both creative and strategy/business advice. Andy nails it evey time. He does a great job of thinking about what creatives need to hear and pointing them in the right direction. He gives really solid advice that is easy to implement right away in your practice. Keep up the amazing work Andy (and Sophie)!

Keep going
I have been a listener since about episode 50 and I still look forward to every new episode. I started listening for creative inspiration and a good laugh. I have not been disappointed. I learn something from every episode and no other podcast makes me laugh so much. Thank you Andy for sharing your struggles; knowing that someone else has had similar personal , creative and business fears and hardship makes the journey easier. Keep going ! The pepperonis need you !

Supercharge Your Potential to Create
This podcast is freakin' great. Andy covers all kinds of creative snafoos from existential to practical and usually in a goofy voice. Great if you've been trying to level up but don't know where to start. I'm so glad this exists and you probably will be too!

LUV this podcast! Andy is like the good design angel on your shoulder telling you all the things you need to hear. Great guests with insightful advice and real stories. I luv his ability to be transparent and silly while being relevant. Being true to yourself is the most important factor for me and he does this 100% of the time. THANK YOU Andy!!

Thank you, Dr. Pizza!
I look forward to every new episode and truly savor each one. Andy is encouraging and motivating even when he’s letting us in on his darker side. I laugh, I cry, it’s a truly moving podcast with solid advice and a great attitude. I love the interviews but the episodes with just Andy trying to teach us important things about ourselves are my faves. Plus he’s so thoughtful, open minded, funny, and very obviously kind. Lord knows creative people can use that kindness. It’s taken me a long time to prioritize art-making in my life. I was terrified that I would be stuck in a career I was really starting to hate. Now, I feel braver, in part because I’m armed with solid plans and projects to go forward with. I feel my artist self so supported by this podcast!!! Thank you so much, Andy j pizza!!!

Invaluable insights and fun format
I love Andy J Pizza and Creative Pep Talk, and I’m not one to throw around the L-word lightly. Andy brings so much insight to the creative process, whether you’re a fine artist, designer, writer, illustrator, or even a research scientist (yes, science is a very creative endeavor, speaking as a researcher myself), you’re pretty much guaranteed to walk away with ideas for how to better access, harness, and bring forth your creativity. The podcasts are also a lot of fun to listen to, as Andy is a very quirky and funny guy, making the process of receiving his wisdom that much easier and more enjoyable; I’m pretty much oscillating between “aha” moments and lol’ing most episodes. Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough! Thanks Andy!

Game-changing
I just listened to one episode and I’ve got to go back and listen with pen and paper in hand, there were so many gems of wisdom that Andy dropped. The episode was more than an hour long and during that time Andy was weird, nerdy, referenced pop culture but also got real, raw and vulnerable at times. This is a must listen if you have a creative business and things don’t feel shiny and new anymore

Amazing!
Wow. I just listened to Episode 201 and I think it is a life-changer for me. Andy talks about finding your gift and how to share it with the world. And all I want to say is: Thank You, Andy! What a meaningful and amazing episode and I'll be forever grateful that you have shared your gift with us.

One of the best podcasts!! If you’re a creative and you’re so lost with your career, this is the podcast to listen to. Started listening to this because I feel so lost and uninspired lately, and this podcast helps me look at things in a different perspective. :)

Life-changing
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Creative Pep Talk changed my life. I started listening to CPT a couple years ago because I wanted to make money from my art. The podcast helped me do that but along the way I learned something even more important, the true value of my work. For years I made art primarily as a way to help myself but this podcast showed me that my work could actually help others. I shifted my mindset from seeing art as a selfish activity to a generous activity and I immediately saw the difference. In 5 months I got 15,000 new followers on Instagram but more importantly I saw the positive effect my art could have on others. This has been the most profound realization of my creative career and this podcast helped me get there. Andy helped me uncover my artistic voice, connect with my audience, and find the deeper value in my work. I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. Start listening today – it just might change your life.
