My absolute favorite!
This podcast is entertaining, informing and eye-opening for creative people. Andy’s humor lights up my day any day!

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!

so thankful
i found this podcast at the most perfect time of my life. it has been a source of positivity and inspiration, and a perfect way to start my morning to keep me focused on my artistic and professional goals. i have recommend this podcasts to a number of my friends, and i hope others find it as motivating as i have. i’m so grateful to have found it. :)

Head over heels for this podcast !!
I started listening only a month ago and I haven’t listened to anything else... Andy is full of wisdom and hilarity, and I have already learnt so much. Excited to keep listening and having him guide me on my journey of discovery !! THANKS ANDY (you’re an inspiration) x

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.

So share worthy!
I love this podcast, I share it with all my creative friends. Andy always tells the most insightful stories, gives advice I can follow, and keeps me motivated towards my artistic career goals! Thank you Andy!

Yassss!
I found this podcast in my first year of creative self employment. It helps me so much when I feel stuck or unsure of what to do next. Put some pep in your life people! You won’t regret it.

Amazing
I just found this and it’s already changing my life. Thank you for this thoughtful and entertaining look at art, business, & life.

Love it!!
Really inspiring, I love the topics, is really helpfull in my design journey. Andy is super sincere and you can connect easily. I totally recommend, is like talking with a friend of design ✨

:)
Most addicting podcast I've come across, feels like a progressive home. Love it. Highly recommend. All the way.

Phenomenal podcast for creatives
Andy blends the worlds of art and business in a way that is practical, touching, and hilarious. I look forward to listening every week. His tactics have helped me tremendously in focusing my goals and creating work that matters.

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!

Listening to Any is like going to Church
Love this show. It's like Church for the Creative Soul.

The best!
Andy is inspiration, entertaining and REAL. I always feel better and inspired after listening to his podcast.....

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!

Best podcast for a creative person
Listening all the epispdes of this podcast is the best new year resolution I could make.

My fav podcast!
I’ve just gotten into listening to podcasts in the last few months and REALLY like Andy’s...def my fav!! He’s so real and motivating and interesting. He can keep us entertained even when he has technical difficulties and no sound effects 🤣 Keep doing you Andy J...and we’ll keep coming!

I love the PIZZA PEP!
this is an amazing podcast with pep, positivity & brutal honesty from an amazing dude. If you are an artist you NEED to check it out!

Right place right time.
I was at a place where I felt I needed to listen to some sort of creative inspiration podcast. Didn’t know if that even existed. I typed creative into the search and found this podcast. I decided to listen to it. Talk about being in the right time in my life to find this god sent podcast. It’s a slingshot pushing me into my destiny in life. Andy’s great metaphors and funny jokes inspire me every day. I feel like I’m a Jedi and he’s a Jedi master mentoring me through this podcast. It’s so powerful and honest. If you’re a creative, YOU MUST SUBSCRIBE!

The Pep Talk I Needed
I recently started listening to the podcast found via Cathy Heller’s podcast. The episode about The Matrix hit home. I’m a huge fan of the movie and named my dog Neo. It was just what I needed and I’m hooked. Keep up the great shows !!

Pepperoni Mushroom Motivation
This podcast is a piping hot fresh from the oven mouthful of creative motivation!!! My creative job finds me working at home alone most days and it’s so hard to stay inspired. Since listening to this podcast regularly (I’m listening now) I feel excited to get up and get to work during the day. I love how friendly and loose the format is, it feels like a pal coming over and giving me advice. Please keep making more episodes!
