Absolutely Inspiring
Dr. Pizza provides insight to a near perfect blend of the balance of pragmatism and "COSMIC WEIRDNESS" that you need as a creative professional. Very thankful for this podcast.
Keeps me Jazzed
In my neck of the woods, the culture is "keep information to yourself". This podcast spits in the face of that fooloshness and gives me the umph I need to follow my dreams!
Recommended to Any Creative
Andy is such a breath of fresh air! His Creative Pep Talks are so fun, educational, and extremely inspiring! It’s nice to have a boost like this to help push you through the difficult times that come with creative careers. Often Andy’s podcasts offer solutions to those problems! They also introduce you to other working creatives you may not know, but can be inspired by. I look forward to these podcasts every week!
Hilariously inspiring, what I really needed
Just discovered this podcast today and binged 4-5 episodes already. Andy is such a pleasure to listen to; he's so knowledgable, experienced and truly empathetic to the starving/struggling/tortured creatives in the world. I really feel like I'm getting a pep talk from a bestfriend who just wants the best for me. From another breakfast hating introvert to another: PLEASE please pleaseee don't ever stop ;)
Passionate, Personable and Great Insights
Thanks for this podcast Andy! I listen to it every morning and after I have finished in the studio for the day. It keeps my spirits high and gives me an inspiration boost. I love the passion behind every thing you talk about and it has been a good kick up the but! You rock!
Say Yes to the Call
I didn’t realize how much I was doubting myself as a creator until listened to this show. I have laughed, I have cried, and I have learned so much from this wonderful podcast, and can’t wait to apply this knowledge and new found inspiration to my own work. Thank you Andy. If you’re a creator, and you’re not sure of the direction you need to go, listen to this podcast. Say yes to the call.
Freakin Awesome
I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this podcast, but sure glad I did. I just listened to around 10 straight hours of podcast “gold” during a recent road trip. I’m just in the beginning stages of a creative “side hustle” & find Andy’s advice to be very practical as well as inspiring. This podcast is Freakin Awesome!
My Favorite Podcast for Creatives!
This podcast is so motivating, inspiring, and insightful about working as a creative and I'm always excited for the new episode each week!
I'm so grateful for Andy and his show!
This is exactly what the title says! It is a fab creaive pep talk -- especially when you're feeling low or unmotivated. Andy is so thoughtful and kind in his encouragement -- there is a lot to ponder, but also tonnnnnns of practical things to help your career. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to make a go of being a creative of any kind. Illustrator, writer, musician, etc!

Ultimate Creative Inspiration
CPT never fails to inject my studio time with pure pep. Andy will deliver the good stuff straight to your mind brain!! Thanks Andy for the continued and honest inspiration ✨
So pepped up I could cry
I've been listening to this podcast for ages now and it never ceases to inspire me. It took me an episode or two to really get into it. But now I am into it I am so into it. Sometimes Andy hits the nail on the head so directly that it feels like he's looked into your soul. If you sometimes feel in despair about what you're doing creatively then this podcast is for you. Sometimes I get so pepped up by it I could cry.
Creative Savior
I discovered Creative Pep Talk about 8 months ago when I was in a creative rut. I had no clue what I wanted to do moving forward, and had found myself at the tail end of a career failure I thought I’d never be able to overcome. Hearing Andy talk about his own failures and the journey he took after those failures has made me realize this is ALL part of the journey. It’s not the end of the road! And I needed to hear that. His advice and suggestions for a creative career are funny, heartfelt and practical. I can’t say enough good things about Andy J. Pizza and Creative Pep Talk. It seriously saved my creative life.
Thanks for this beautiful podcast
You are really amazing, you make me feel empowered and energized with every episode !!! Anddd I also love your illustrations !! @pacaysuvida
This is your Creative Mentor!
Hi! I just stumbled on Andy’s podcast a couple of days ago. I am a singer/songwriter who produces and lives from music. I was looking for a podcast that can help me creatively and business wise. Well look no further, Andy is your personal mentor who can guide you and help you stay motivated on your creative journey! I listen to Pizza man every day now. Listen to 177 self sabotage episode! That will knock your socks off! Thanks Andy! You are amazing!
It’s weird and funky
Doctor Pizza has seriously revolutionized the way I think about my creative journey. From motivating me to think about my art as a business to helping develop my creativity, he’s done it all! Great podcast peps me up while I transition from my day job to my personal work, answering questions I didn’t know I had in a Socratic method with weirdness and humor mixed in.
So helpful!
Like group therapy for creatives! Super helpful for anyone involved in a creative business or with a creative persoanlity. Very appreciative of the deeper personal themes that run throughout each episode.
Andy gives me the power to keep going! <3
Andy makes me laugh and cry every week! Thank you! 🙏 😊 <3
One of my all time favs!
I have listened to Creative Pep Talk for about 2 years. In that time Andy has consistently delivered on his promise of pep. The topics are frequently something that I have already been thinking about so they all feel really relevant. I really enjoy listening to each new episode, and they keep getting better and better. Thanks Andy, I appreciate all you do!
Tactical Talk
I look forward to this every week. Andy gives real talk about how to be a strategic and competitive creative in this market and truly leaves you walking away feeling pepped and ready for the next challenge.
Amazing!
This is my very first podcast as a listener and most likely my favorite! Andy is great and it feels like he’s talking to you personally. Great tips and inspiration tool! Love it xx
