Truly truly helpful and encouraging
It seems to me that creative brains are the most prone to self doubt and despair, and Andy speaks directly to those parts of us when we need it most.

Continually putting the PEP in my step!
Andy's vulerable and honest look into the everyday problems we face as creatives is refreshing. His ability to tackle the sticky topics and deliver solutions/support is second to none. Andy is one of the most selfless people I know and his dedication to teaching shows through in how he prepares and delivers his message in every podcast. I can't even begin to express the value I gained from listening to Creative Pep Talk.

Great work.
I love this podcast. I have found artmaking to be a really lonely pursuit at times, especially after moving away from my group of artist friends. It's been really hard to suddenly lose the kinship I found with them, and to try to generate all my own ideas in what feels like a vacuum. It's been awesome to know I can listen to this podcast and get a little boost of creative energy.
Andy gets a variety of people on the podcast and when he's alone, he's super thoughtful and insightful about creativity. Love his work and love the work of the guests. This podcast has made me re-think parts of my process and has improved my work.

It's time to get Pepped Up!
Andy J. Miller is like an invisible uncle, perhaps more like a guardian angel, that shares top-notch advice and interviews that will change your life!

Creative Mornings Veteran
I second all the other 5 star reviews.
It is no surprise that Andy recently spoke at a Creative Mornings event. His podcast is brilliant- I have listened to every episode. "Creative Pep Talk" is a spot on title for the nature of his content and enthusiasm for the subject. His guests are also excellent.

Make opportunities and listen to some expereince along the way. Thank you Andy!

A Life-Line for Creative Folk
Creative Pep Talk is a must for any creative, whether you're starting out or a seasoned professional. Andy hits all the important topics, from self-doubt to promotion, to collaboration—all the topics artists care about. Andy's wealth of insight always comes with a dose of humility and a great sense of humor, laced with hilarious 80s and 90s pop culture references. If you're in a creative field or want to be, I can't recommend this enough.

New Find New Keep
I just listened to Andy’s podcast for the first time wondering why I haven’t listened to it before! A new find for me that I will definitely keep and make a habit. Awesome advice and well, “pep talk.” Thank you!

Jump Start your Art
I couldn't appreciate this podcast more. Post graduation I both moved away from my creative commununity, and had a lot of financial struggles, both of which made a huge creative slump for me of several years. Andy does an awesome job of both providing genuine, realistic, creative advice, while balancing it with a sincerity and humility. It really is a solid upbeat pep talk without anything feeling contrived. Thanks so much! It's made such a difference.

Very Authentic & Enriching
I'm a recent listener and have really enjoyed Creative Pep Talk. I'm a creative and this year I stepped out on my own into the world of self-employment after 8 years at a full-time gig. It can be scary and exciting out here. Easy to encounter existential panic and wonder where the next work will be coming from. Also easy to enjoy the freedom and diversity of work self-employment offers.
I found Andy's podcast in a slump of fear, needing some serious encouragement. That is exactly what I found. I like how Andy is honest about the highs and lows of his own career and thought life, then offers practical vision on how to keep going. He's the kind of host I'd love to sit down and have a beer with to talk these things over. Listening to the podcast is the next best thing.
Thanks for the encouragement and keep up the good work! (@hbedward)
