Consistent, Inspiring & Motivating!!
Love this podcast, really conisistent, inspiring and motivating for all types of creaitve people. Wonderful Work x

Fresh, practical and entertaining
I’ve found it very insightful and helpful. It definitely keeps me pepped up about following my dreams and goals. Every week has a new perspective on how important is to understand our place in the world as creative people.

This Podcast keeps me from quitting my job and working in a shop
It can be hard being a junior designer as you feel like your not doing the work you want to do, your repeating the same thing or not having any time to create the things you want to. But, the Creative Pep Talk help me to create a career I want to and create the thing I am interested in because it gives me that little push I need to do it

Entering the Illustration World
This podcast has been super helpful. I finally reached out to one of my favorite artists on Instagram and she recommended it. Definitely a plus to this journey of mine. I’m two years out of art school, started later in life and it’s been so reassuring to hear such positive info and encouragement every time I’m in doubt or just need an extra boost for the week. Thank you Art Dad!

Power of the PIZZA
Obsessed with this podcast. Grab a pen & paper- ACTIONABLE advice in every single episode. Great for creatives in any field with analogies & visual illustrations that inform & inspire.

Life changing
This podcast is unbelievably healing and motivating.

Andy is my sorta weird!
Thanks Andy, you give so much to the self employed Creative. Such great motivational, inspiring, exciting talks. I've been listening to theis podcast for a while now and almost feel like we're bezzies in the real world - so generous x thank you.

Dr.Pizza knows how to keep me PEPPED!!!
Love this podcast. THANK YOU ANDY!

Absolutely the BEST
This is the best content for creatives on the web. It does not matter what your genre is, this information is practical, detailed and so usable. It doesn't hurt that Andy's personality is engaging and humorous as he delivers these gems borne of his own experience. Highly recommend!

Gets me SO PEPPED!
This is my fave podcast everer. I get SO JAZZED by Dr Pizza's VIBE that I end talking like him but with an Australian accent which sounds GROSS and really irritates my kids. But MAN, seriously, this podcast is the best to get you excited about being a creative human with the creativity addiction and the never dying dream - and he's flippin funny to boot. Thank you Dr Pizza, you Dr Pep my step.

Andy is awesome!
So glad I discovered this podcast. I love the authentic excitement and creative encouragement in each episode. Thanks for being so awesome mister 🍕.

Best Podcast Ever.
This is exactly the podcast I wanted to find when I started populating my feed. Perfectly spot on. It is absolutely phenomenal, life changing. Andy is an amazing person. Just listen! And then send to all your friends!

This show is a life changer
Andy deserves recognition because his efforts to help creatives live happier lives is sincere and genuine. He gives his all in his shows. And having the privilege to be able to absorb all that through this podcast is truly a blessing.

Inspiring and Motivating!
Loooove Andy J Pizza and his inspiring, motivating talks, it’s like having a little keynote speaker in my pocket whenever I want it. His passion alone for what he does and what he teaches is tangible and useful advice and he knows how to engage. Also love those video game references too. One thing I wish he’d do is put the names of videos/talks/people and notes of what he’s mentioned in the podcast, in his talk show notes. But seriously look forward to this every week, so good and so worth the listen.

The ultimate podcast for creatives
Not only does this podcast provide fantastic tangible resources for all types of creative amateurs/professionals (thanks for including musicians in there too Andy!), it also gives the emotional uplifting advice that actually makes me cry with happiness about once every 2 episodes. This podcast has literally changed my life for the better and keeps me feeling excited and driven for my design/illustration career. Hiiiighly recommended.

Man, do I ever need this!
First time I listened to this, I wasn’t so sure. Andy seemed like just a regular guy. The second time, I realised that this was exactly what I needed. Realistic, enthusiastic, feet-on-the-ground Encouragement for creatives. Guests have turned me on to Wayne White, great books and resources. I feel like Andy is in the trenches with us. I listen a couple of times a week.

Just what I need!
I just discovered this podcast and was immediately sucked in. Now I’m addicted and sharing it with everyone I know. Thanks so much for this!

It is great to listen to while working on projects
I wish I knew of this podcast earlier in my life because there's a lot of great advice and information in it.

The best podcast for creatives in general
I just love it. All the conversations and speaks are well thought and very helpfull. It also has so many episodes that you can really dive in on the creative life's meditations, this shows the hard work Andy puts on it and on his entire career, which makes him the real adviser for everyone who is persuiting an artistic career without failing or getting depress (very likely to happen)! <3

Super Inspiring
I love Andy's peppy approach as well as his wisdom. I love coming back to this podcast for inspiration, great advice and strategies for creative business.

Wicked amazing content
Andy J. Pizza is an amazing inspiration. A voice to look forward to hearing. Thanks for all you are. I cannot afford any more schooling, but I have learned from your podcast that there are other ways to learn about finding my path on this Journey! Cannot wait to meet you someday! Good thing you are in my state!

A+ !!!
Creative Pep Talk is the best! I love listening to it and getting pumped to draw. It has given me a new perspective on the outlook I have for my creative future.

So much love for creative pep talk!
This podcast is jam packed with tips, strategies, words of encouragement, inspiration and movtivation for ALL creatives! I'm a photographer and I find that I can apply most if not all of each episode to my creative career and life. It's honest, it's current & relavent, Andy is a super entertaining speaker and a very talented artist; and he interviews other super inspiring artists too.

One of my favourite podcasts!
So many good ideas and amazing advice. thank you for this gem of a podcast!!

this is my absolut favourite podcast
so much inspiration, knowledge, fun and humor. this is my favourite podcast! It’s about illustration, growing your illustration business and in life. with every episode i think: "can i mark it to remember?" as there is so much information in every one of it. thanks a lot!

STAY PEPPED UP!
After tons of recommendations to give this podcast a listen I finally got started with it this week and I've listened to so many I think Andy's voice is now my inner voice. Andy's enthusiasm and positivity are contagious and it's truly impossible not to feel inspired after listening to him and his fantastic guests. I've found myself laughing out loud at his analogies and ability to connect the most philosophical topics to the latest cartoons his kid's are watching. Always nodding my head in agreement with his brilliant musings. I'm a pepperoni forever now!

Thank you Andy!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Andy's podcast hit me like a gift from heaven. I just discovered him a few months ago via an interview on Being Boss, where I found his personality and humor to be so appealing. I immediately sampled one of his episodes and WOW I was blown away by the combination of wisdom, enthusiasm, motivation and humor. I felt like he was talking directly to me. As an older person (I'm in my 50's) I'm probably not even in Andy's target audience, but I feel like my age gives me the perspective to know just how right-on Andy's words are. I often feel like if I had had access to this kind of guidance as a young artist, oh what I could have done with my life!!! Some of these episodes I listen to multiple times because there is almost too much to take in, in one listen. I just listened to episode 163 THREE times and now am really clear on my goals for 2018. And I can't wait to get started on the 17 Breakthrough Ideas from episode 165. Thank you Andy, you have changed the course of my creative life!

Genuine Encouragement and Design/Art Love
I absolutely love Andy's podcasts and have been listening for over a year now. His energy and positivity have pushed me to continue exploring new creative paths outside my typical wheelhouse. I put an episode of this on in the background when I'm struggling to start/finish a project and it kicks my butt into gear. More female Illustrators please! ☝️️😍🎨 -Marrin Lee

Real Substance that helps me Move Forward!
Andy gives great advice with real life examples of the things he preaches, actually in practice. Love this podcast!!! Thank you!! It’s been a major help both in motivation and in practical ways to use that motivation.
