Fantastically helpful
I've just recently started listening, but have been encouraged to take my work further. Andy's genuine care and openness is refreshing and empowering. At any stage in your career there is something from this podcast that you can use!

I love this, it makes me want to go out and do something right away!

I always love when a new episode comes out! I sit down and have a cup of tea and a biscuit and zen out. This podcast actually inspired me to finish my portfolio for a university application which I am very optimistic about! Andy is a very excited, passionate guy with great ideas and a thoughtful approach to inspiring creatives! I love this man's pep! Keep it up Mr Pizza!
Real and Vulnerable
I listen to CPT allll the time. I started from his back list of episodes and am working my way up to the most recent. I listen to it on the way to work, on the way home and when I'm working on art. I'm going to be so sad when I finish all the back logged episodes and will have to wait for new ones to come out. Andy J Pizza keeps me going. Whenever I am in the pits about where I am at, this picks me up. Art careers are HARD and I love just having another art person who has been there give advice. And it's not just fluffy advice. He gets down and dirty. Real and vulnerable. Two of my favorite things. I literally don't know what I would do without these podcasts lifting me up.
Need a creative pick-me-up?
Dr. Pizza is here for you! This podcast has picked me off of the floor when I wanted to just give up and if you’re looking for something to bring life back to your creative perspective, this may be exactly what you need. Pop in those earbuds, take a long walk and stay pepped up!
Straight from the heart
Andy is REAL. He is filled with knowledge, pep, energy, emotion, insight, and professional wisdom. He shares himself and his insight in a way that is deeply relatable, inspiring, and thoughtful. He is CREATIVE MAGIC who knows how to navigate the world of business 💥Listening to CPT + getting to know Andy has been an absolute game changer in both my art career, and my life!! I am forever grateful to Andy and this unique (and highly needed) gift to us fellow creatives. We're all in this together ❤️
Attention artists: Stop what you're doing and listen to this show!
Andy, you are a total rock star. Thanks for putting this out there. Such great information. Highly recommend all artists give this one a listen!
Join the Pep-peroni Team!
I recently started listening, and am getting so much out of the Creative Destiny series! I'm not a visual artist, (I'm a blogger/writer) and it's fantastic that Andy doesn't just focus on topics that apply to visual artists. What he talks about applies to creative people in all realms, and the Creative Destiny series really applies to all people, period. And how can you not love anyone who, over the course of a few episodes, skillfully weaves in references to Memento, The Matrix and My Little Pony?! Andy - keep up the good work and I hope you can keep pepping us up for a long time.
Super motivational
The best thing to listen to as you create stuff. Consistently inspiring and motivational. Thanks Andy!
Andy is so inspiring!
I have realized that I use this podcast almost as a reset button. I can always count on Andy telling me something that shakes up my view and helps me to reevaluate whether what I am doing is working or not. Thank you so much!
Super Fun & Inspiring But Real Practical Advice Too!
Love this podcast and the energy and personality Andy brings to each episode. His topics are spot on- anything you might be experiencing as a creative professional or aspiring creative- and he covers each one with depth, humor, and always includes real down-to-earth actions or advice. I look forward to every episode and have re-listened to several. Thumbs up all the way!
For Any Creative
This podcast is gold for ANY creative. Andy is genuine, goofy and thoughtful. His guests are interesting and helpful. Most of all Andy is a “truth teller”...meaning he kindly makes you think about the reality of where you are versus where you want to be and how you need to adjust course or pivot to get there. It’s just GOLD.
Cant thank you enough
I have been listening to creative pep talk for quite some time now and I can't say enough good things about Andy and this wonderful podcast , I suffer from extremely bad anexity and ADHD but listening to the podcast makes me feel strong in myself and the art I make . Thanks man you are the best Aidan monahan .
Fun creative inspiration
I'm enjoying this podcast so much that I'm listening through the archives. Good mix of theory and practical advice.
Powerful words to fuel the artists
Andy just knocks it out of the park with his interviews and personal talks. The episode on successful side projects was powerful ! Great inspiration and useful advice for anyone in a creative career. He continues to inspire me weekly with his talks and challenges! I would gladly buy Andy several pizzas!
Motivational
I think Andy always has something inspiring to say, in the way that I've never heard an episodes without writing the core part down in my notebook! Not because he doesn't speak memorable, because he does! But just because I don't want to forget what he made me realise or how I should be looking at this specific issue. It's all great advise he gives and entertaining at the same time, and it's keeps me going the right way, so maybe it will do that for you too?! Give it a listen X
Will Keep You on Your Toes!
Such a funtastic Podcast! I absolutely appreciate Andy's great enthusiasm for life, creativity, and color! I was enthralled with his interview with Debbie Millman. Such surprising content arose about personal branding that I will implement and be forever grateful: Real Branding is an Unearthy of who your truly are!! Go show the world how you are different than everyone else! CaraF13
Love this!!
If you're someone in the creative field (illustration, music, design, visual art, writing, etc) there are all kinds of challenges that come up that are distinct to these fields. Andy's enthusiasm, insight, passion, and understanding of our challenges make this a podcast worth regular listening. After several episodes I walked away having a better understanding of the person that I am, because let's face it, creative people often walk to a different beat and traditional advice usually doesn't apply. Love, love, love him!!
This podcast changed my life!
I am so grateful to have come across this podcast via a Reddit recommendation. This podcast is so much more that creative insight, it is a raw and open hearted discussion about life. This podcast is for any and every person. Andy provides some of the most insightful and beautifully epic talks that I have ever heard in my many years of listening to podcasts. This podcast has given me the fuel I need to not only take on any creative challenge, but also any obstacle in life as well. I can't thank the creative pep talk team enough - this is a truly special team of people. Thank you, please don't ever stop!
Best Podcast for people that search creative inputs!
I'm working as a film producer and I've got a lot of creative inputs from this podcast. Andy J. Miller is a great host and I can consider this podcast to all the creative out there in whatever niche they are! Enjoy it!
Invaluable.
Andy is such a free spirit, filled with energy ND life and his podcast is no different, I found it by chance and I'll be honest I wasn't too keen on his southern accent at first but it grows on you, plus you just can't miss this content. Whether you're an artist or an entrepreneur or both, you need this podcast in your life. Thanks Andy.
awesome. just awesome.
as a graphic designer who loves looking inside yourself and knowing who you are and learning about yourself, this is perfect. i love andy's energy, it inspires me and feels like i'm just sitting down talking to one of my friends about creativity. it's so great. thanks for this andy! also, just heard you say you would have to say Papa Johns is your fave crappy pizza, and we are on the same page! so. props to andy. and his discussion of my little pony ❤️👍🏼
What you never learned in art school
This is a great show; it helps point you in the right direction and adds clairity to your creative direction. If you need to get out of an art funk this is the podcast to listen to. Thanks Andy for the time you put into this!
Inspiring, Authentic
So far I've only listened to a couple episodes of the Creative Destiny series and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm trying to establish a daily practice as a writer, but I feel like I have so many blockages which I can't quite pinpoint. Andy is so enthusiastic, uses fun and effective metaphors, and shares what sounds like personal wisdom that really come from a place of caring. While I understand how this may not be for everyone, I don't really understand why someone would bash the very personal work of someone else. Andy, thank you for opening up and sharing with us!
