Reviews - Page 12 | A Weekly Podcast Companion for Your Creative Journey

Literally one of the best podcasts for creatives.

I’ve been listening Creative Pep Talk for almost three years now. I love it. As an in-house creative, my motivation can sometimes just plummet. CPT has been a source of inspiration and really is such a great pep talk. Somehow, whenever I’m in a funk, Andy releases a new episode that talks about the exact issues I’m struggling with. He’s charismatic, witty, and extremely empathetic. I go back and listened to specific episodes over just to really get his message to sink in. You can tell he truly cares about the messages he conveys, and I really enjoy his insights and the research he does on creativity and motivation. My favorite series of episodes has to be on the Creative Side Quests (and not just because of his Legend of Zelda references). Andy is just super genuine and wants to help, and I honestly feel like his Creative Pep Talks are incredibly helpful. If you’re looking for motivation, this is the podcast for you!

Absolutely amazing and unique podcast

I started listening to this podcast a little over a month ago and I just can’t thank Andy enough for creating it. It has made such a positive impact on my life already. I’ve gained more courage, confidence, and motivation to do more creative work and now I’m in better place than I was a month ago! I will continue looking forward to Andy’s sincere and powerful words of encouragement every week!

informative but over the top

Andy really provides a lot of good info and advice but his “radio” personality can be too much some times, which is no fault of his own, just something that can be sometimes off putting.

A good podcast to listen to while painting

I've been a listener for a while now and a lot of the content of this podcast resonates with me, especially when Andy J Miller just spills his heart out and does episodes of him just talking.He makes a lot of good points. What made me knock off a star is that with a lot of the interview episodes, a lot of times he talks over the guest speakers and that just creates a very unpleasant listening experience. Other than that its a good show.

Andy has good taste and intuition!

What a gem! I'm so glad I was pointed to this podcast by creative friends! "It really is a pep talk!" they said. "He's funny and helpful and you'll love it," they said. The episode on taste and intution came just when I most needed the confidence building Andy's insight offered. That's what a pep talk is supposed to do! I'm grateful and encouraged. Thank you!

Love It

Found this show on a whim and I absolutely love the content. Andy is such a quirky guy and it warms my soul to hear great advice from someone with a similar mindset. For those mentioning the tangents, that’s sort of what I like about the show. It breaks away from the typical bombardment of info that’s become present in a lot of podcasts as of late. It helps to drift a bit, lol. Not to mention, I believe the host has ADHD — and is very upfront about it within the show — so I’d assume tangents come with the territory. Regardless, the show is very insightful and motivating. I’m so glad to have found it. Keep doing what you do, sir!

Best podcast for creatives

I’m currently a 3rd year visual arts and graphic design student, and Andy’s podcast has played an integral part in my personal creative development, providing in-depth concepts, ideas, self exploration techniques and much more. I take notes and engage in his exercises as they are productive actionable steps to enhance my creative potential. Couldn’t recommend more!

Gone off the deep end!

I used to love this show but lately it’s become SO quirky and weird that the content gets lost completely! Sorry Andy, I can’t keep up with the tangents. Rein it in a bit please!

I’ve made non creatives listen to this podcast

And they still liked it. It’s hard not to get pumped up when Andy starts talking real effective strategies and then mixes them with great analogies. I’ve used a lot of what he’s taught on the show and am starting my dream job next week (kill the arrival tho, we have much to learn still). Ugh, but then the interviews, Andy is able to pull some great wisdom from the creatives/entrepreneurs he has on the show. I have relistened to quite a few to get all the “nuggets” of wisdom.

EVERYONE would benefit from listening

Mr. Pizza, My entire life I have always struggled with self confidence. I have this deep passion for creating but I’ve never taken the time to try because I was afraid to fail. Thank you for providing clear instructions on how to unlock my gift. I feel like that is something everyone should be taught in school and children should be introduced to at a young age. You changed my life. You gave me a reason to try and even provided clear steps on how to do so. My goal is to one day be on your podcast and tell my success story because I’m going to owe it all to you. Your podcast is life giving. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Andy is the bay leaf to my burrito

Honestly, I listen to every episode with an open notebook next to me. He skips the platitudes and provides real and actionable advice. I also catch myself chuckling like a weirdo when I’m listening to it on headphones in public. You can tell he spends so much time really searching for insight and then figuring out a simple way to explain it. Great stuff. Keep up the good fight, Andy.

The best podcast for creative peeps. Period.

If you’re a creative/artist, CPT is what you need to fill up you tank. It is inspirational, fun, insightful. I learn something every time and it really pushes me to go deeper and get better. Andy is a fantastic host.

Highly recommend for all creatives

Andy discusses topics - big and small - that are so relatable to the every day reality of working in a creative field and the constant balancing act of managing career and personal life. Love the way Andy challenges the preconceived idea of the ‘starving artist’ and offers accessible and practical tools/habits to help build a sustainable creative career that doesn’t kill you! Listen to this every day!

The encouragement Andy gives in this show is life-changingly magical

I love Andy’s wild original voice that guides me through hope and helpful tools to the other side of my current corporate job - and that he makes it his mission to give struggling artists the encouragement and the guidance that they need. Andy gives all of us “weird artists” permission to be weird, and I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT. We need more folks in the world like Andy!

Re-Jazzed

I first heard Andy J Pizza on Cathy Heller’s podcast & immediately subscribed. His self-aware humor and humble wisdom have re-jazzed a spark of creative hope in me I thought had been fully lost to a soul-snuffing job. Thank you Andy (and Andy’s family & friends) for all this super-valuable PEP!
