Pizza Power! 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀
I struggle a lot with managing my ADHD and sometimes I feel hopeless, as an artist, because of it. It helps a lot to hear an incredible artist with ADHD share his successes, struggles and toolsets. Thanks, Andy J. PIZZAAA, for showing us it can be done.

Bummer to see the adobe collab
When you want a *creative* pep talk, listening to someone talk about the usefulness of AI tools—trained on millions of pieces of stolen work—is the last place a genuine creative wants to turn. Unfollowing the show ✌️

#455 ADHD is the best!!
Thank you again!! I cannot thank you enough for all that you’re doing and I am especially grateful for episode #455 about ADHD. Of all the research that I’ve been doing this year this one really strikes Home the most. I bought the book, gonna listen to it next. And I saved and shared this episode with my entire community:)) keep doing what you’re doing, because you’re doing great work!!👍🏼🫶🏼🤘🏼❤️

Amazing, supportive resource for artists
I’ve listened to this podcast a long time - every week. And every episode has supported me as an artist. Andy gives me more to consider all the time, introduces me to new ideas and ways of thinking - ways of framing my life, and he gives me so many “aha” moments about things I’ve been thinking about too. Episode 468 gave me one of those aha moments and it’s such a relief to finally understand what’s going on in my head around being a creative. Thanks Andy for this part of what you create. You are like a midwife for artistry.

Musicians should listen too !
Creative pep talk is essential listening for all creatives - i am a musician but i find Andy's ideas much more useful and fresh than any of the creative shows aimed directly at musicians - when i started to listen to it i found it hard going - i found Andys voice and pace hard to listen to but now those are my favourite things about it - i look forward to every episode drooping - ps the sound design is brill

I’m addicted to this show!
I love Andy’s authenticity and heart. I’m not even a commercial artist. I’m a Psychologist by day and an art quilter the rest of the time, and this show is motivating in so many ways, no matter what I’m doing! Please don’t stop making these episodes Andy!

Inspiration with action!
This is my favorite podcast, hands down. If you are on a creative journey (or want to be on one or wonder what that even means), this is for you.

Always Inspiring, especially now!
LOVE this show. I listen while I create and it occupies my mind so I don’t get too in my head and critical of my painting. This new “trek” the show is taking, beginning with episode 449 “Making Authentic Work You Love Starts With This,” is fabulous! I can’t wait to hear it all! I almost wish I had never heard your podcast so I could discover this a few months from now and binge-listen to this whole series! Thanks for all you put out there, Andy…so much POSITIVE and AUTHENTIC energy! Grateful!

super wise Pizza
Andy has a way of putting words to very intangible thoughts, feelings and ideas that speak to what makes creatives tick. He names hurdles that get in the way and gives real, authentic, sustainable, thoughtful solutions/suggestions:) Honestly, I can’t say enough about how meaningful this podcast is and he keeps getting better (imo).

Awesome Pod
Found this pod in during a low time creativity. I’ve been on and off with my project and your enthusiasm and the enthusiasm of your guests has been truly inspiring. You’ve reignited my creative flame and thank you for that. Keep it up, love from Aus 🦘

Creative Fuel
In spite of the fact that I am not a creative professional, this podcast provides creative sparks which allow me to explore my own artistic ideas. It gives me ideas to explore and permission to experiment! Thanks Andy!

Love!
I live literally every episode. I too am ADD and an artist that’s tried to fight being an artist most of my life because we are told from all angles that you “can’t make a living” as an artist. I e tried to be so many other things to my souls detriment. This podcast helps me pull me back on track ❤️

I love your podcast - such good stuff - the analogies are so helpful
Thanks Andy all your podcast. I got heaps of of The Six Step Process to Unlock Powerful..... And your latest one How to transform risky daydreams.
I am going to try some of the techniques you have suggested. I have heard so many things but nothing like you have spoken about. Cheers - Ruth

Favorite podcast ever??
Yes! As a long time listener, when I think about how I got through my 20s, this podcast is a major reason... Such a masterful demonstration of creativity, that’s for sure, but Andy also shows us how to embrace our humanity again and again.

One of the best podcasts out there
Andy Pizza is a master at bringing clarity to what is often a jumble of thoughts in my head. His insights into the creative process are truly outstanding. And it’s not just fun to listen to (Andy is super funny), it’s actually helpful for me. One of the best podcasts out there by far.

The Inspiration Talk I Needed
I stumbled upon this podcast when I was starting school for graphic design. I am now 2 months in and even more excited to continue my personal practice. Each time I need a pep talk I sit and listen and am able to find the motivation I need to keep going. Thank you for such a beautiful and informative podcast.

Thanks for all the pep talk Andy
Thanks for choosing to post an episode every single week, I look forward to them each week. As an engineer and having ADHD, I live in consistent draw between my professional procedural self and creative personal self. You help me get going after work. Keep up the great work!

Love it! Get yourself some pep too!
I have been listening to Creative PepTalk for so long that I probably should be sending Andy and Sophie a holiday card at the end of the year. I cannot begin to thank CPT for all the pep over time. Creative work is not without some grind, or frustration, or doubt, or challenge and the podcast was always there to give me a lift when I needed it. So grateful, much appreciated, thank you, thank you, thank you Andy J Pizza!

Warm, helpful and entertaining!
I decided to try 4-5 different creativity themed podcasts and Creative Pep Talk is the one I keep coming back to! Andy is such a beautiful person, and on this podcast he is truly committed to helping creative people find their way to success. Love the calls to adventure at the end of every episode too! Xx

Helped me enormously along the journey
Andy has been there for me every week since I started listening (maybe a year and a half ago?). His energy, experience, and wisdom gets me to think differently about my art journey but also often vindicates my current feelings and questions. So many times Andy has given me the tools I need to move forward in my work. As an artist, so much of the work is internal.

Listening to this podcast has been absolutely game-changing to my creative practice and path. I feel I’ve found the mentor and friend that I’ve been looking for all along. Whenever I’m feeling discouraged or lacking inspiration, turning on this show helps me find my spark again. Full of fun and really helpful guidance… I can’t recommend this show enough.
