LOVE THIS PODCAST!
Every week it’s like a big present full of inspiration, information, ideas and love. Andy’s enthusiasm is infectious, you can’t help but be inspired to get working the moment it’s ended. I can’t work at the same time as listening as I’m usually taking notes! He knows so much and is so willing to share it. Like a personal cheerleader with substance, for anyone on a creative journey. I literally wait for this podcast each week. Andy, thank you!!

Inspiring
I’m so thankful for this podcast. I had put my artistic abilities on a shelf and this has inspired me to really work on a children’s book I started a long time ago. Andy is hilarious and encouraging and inspires me to want to keep working and growing as an artist!

Valuable and very funny creative pep!
With Andy J. Pizza I find myself laughing out loud and heavily emphasising with his advices on my bike travels to work. A job that I will certainly escape from to thrive as an artist one day now that I have Andy in my ears.
If you already have a little bit of courage yourself and determined to do the work to reach your creative goals, Andy offers enormous value each week and will keep you pepped up!

Energizing, Inspiring, Insightful
This podcast has been on heavy rotation for me since I first listened to it over a year ago. Andy is contagiously energetic and refreshingly authentic. He’s goofy and fun, but also he provides valuable firsthand insight into the life of a working creative. I find myself taking notes during every episode and it has been very influential in my own pursuit of a creative career. This podcast is absolute gold and you’d be doing yourself a favor if you subscribed. Thank you, Andy, for sharing your magic with the rest of us!

Creative fire!
Every episode has at least a little golden nugget that gets my brain going. I find it super inspiring every week as an illustrator but have recommended it to my friends who are more into screenwriting, tattoos and music with no complaints :)

Creative Wakeup Call
A friend introduced me to the Creative Pep Talk and I was instantaneously hooked. I’d been feeling creatively stagnant in my career and Andy J Pizza just seems to speak the language that fires my imagination and is pushing me to dig deep and take on fresh challenges with writing. Admittedly, I’ve largely been tunnel-visioned on the creative but this has really opened my eyes to the importance of creativity going hand-in-hand with business mindset. This is like creative meditation.

You keep me pepped
Andy, I just love listening to your podcast. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious. One piece of advice I've taken from you is to just do the work. I may not work in cohesive collections, but I think I do put in the work. I've only been painting for a few years but I feel like I'm laying the ground work for something bigger. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and truth. It's much appreciated. Sincerely, melanie.bussey.art on instagram :)

One of the BEST!!
I am soo happy I found this podcast. It has been nothing but inspirational, motivational and more importantly informational. Andy's very easy to listen to and understand with his lively metaphors and analogies that all creatives would love and appreciate. I hope he never stops recording because I look forward to listening to the next one every day I get behind my computer. Thanks Andy for what you do!

Through the ups and downs
Andy truly understands the struggle that doubts any artistic person goes through. I certainly listen when I’m a little off and need a pep talk as his podcast always motivates! Thank you so much for that! ☺️

Must listen
Every few episodes I learn something inspiring or tactical that improves me or my craft. The rest of the episodes are still really fun. Positive, useful, compelling - both the show and the host!

Keep going Andy!

I love it but I can’t hear it
The content is great but the volume is so quiet that I can’t hear it. I do work in a loud shop so it’s partially my fault but I haven’t had this problem with any other podcast.
Please mix the volume louder

This truly speaks to where I am
This podcast is a toolbox of everything I can ever need as a creative to get started, keep going or to stick to it!!

The real deal
Andy is uniquely situated to speak on creativity and saying yes to life I think precisely because he says it’s easy for him to say no to life, so he analyzes and deconstructs what gets him to “yes” for all of our benefit too. His metaphors will make the light bulbs go off and he makes you laugh out loud while moving your creativity forward. So, so good!

Got hooked since the episode with Fran Meneses whom I love, and I’ve spent hours listening to it ever since. Thank you so much for this content! So many insights for creatives, and hilarious too 😄

Yes to a Creative Life!
Thank you so much, Andy, for helping me say YES to a creative life and to share generously with your listeners all that you have learned about the creative career path in an entertaining and down-to-earth way. I am a fellow ADHD artist (are there many who are not?) and it is refreshing to listen to someone who speaks my language and understands the quirkiness and super power of ADHD and also can offer real-life solutions to the challenges it presents. Thank you for sharing your delightful wife with us in your question and answer episode! I would love to hear her “In a Nutshell” commentary on lots of episodes!
