I discovered Andy J Miller and his Creative Pep Talk show last year and never lost one single episode since then.Andy is so inspiring and encouraging and shares lots of advice to anyone who wants to build a career on art or design. I learned tons of good stuff, mostly about marketing. I definitely recommend this show to artists of any kind.

Andy Gives Me Hope
As a person who is always in need of a creative outlet, and wanting to be able to sustain myself and my family off of my art one day, Andy really motivates me and gets me pepped up about continuing to push myself in the creative world. He gives out of this world advice! CPT makes me excited to get in the car and listen to another podcast AND GET PEPPED UP!!!

If your a creative of any sort and love food, this is for you =)
I have binged on so many episodes, and each one has help shed some light on what I am doing, where I am going and even where I have been (wierd I know but true).
I listen to Andys pod cast while painting away. I highly reccomend this podcast.

Not an artist? You should still listen to this podcast.
I’m a writer and Creative Pep Talk is one of my favorite podcasts. Andy’s enthusiasm is contagious and his wisdom defies career borders. Artist. Copywriter. Actor. Bartender. Accountant. Carpenter. Personal trainer. Dishwasher. Whatever. We’re all creative souls and we’re all hurtling through space on this giant rock together. Let’s make it count.
What I love about Creative Pep Talk is that it gives both hope AND a kick in the shins to humans trying to figure out their creative gifts. Each episode is a feast of inspiration. Gobble it up!

My Absolute Favorite Podcast
If you're in a creative field, you NEED to listen to this podcast. I listen to it every week and every week it keeps me from giving up. Getting started as a designer or illustrator or whathave you is goddamn tough, and this podcast is a resource that I plan to keep in my back pocket for years to come.

The pep talks we all need!!
So so helpful - at a time in my life as a creative where I’m striking out on my own more and having Andy’s pep and many analogies surrounding hot dogs has been invaluable! Thanks Andy :-)

Best podcast for creatives out there
I've searched far and wide for a podcast that spoke to me, an illustrator, for ages. I finally settled on this one, and I'm so glad I did. Andy is such a personality and he makes his talks seem so personal and friendly. If you're looking for something to listen to as you're working on something, this is it! Truly inspirational. Can't stop listening.

Motivational and Educational
I just started listening to this recently thanks to the recommendation by a graphic designer pal, and what a treat. Great stuff. Helps me stay motivated when I'm working comics and other creative tasks.

I always love when a new episode comes out! I sit down and have a cup of tea and a biscuit and zen out. This podcast actually inspired me to finish my portfolio for a university application which I am very optimistic about!
Andy is a very excited, passionate guy with great ideas and a thoughtful approach to inspiring creatives! I love this man's pep! Keep it up Mr Pizza!

Real and Vulnerable
I listen to CPT allll the time. I started from his back list of episodes and am working my way up to the most recent. I listen to it on the way to work, on the way home and when I'm working on art. I'm going to be so sad when I finish all the back logged episodes and will have to wait for new ones to come out. Andy J Pizza keeps me going. Whenever I am in the pits about where I am at, this picks me up. Art careers are HARD and I love just having another art person who has been there give advice. And it's not just fluffy advice. He gets down and dirty. Real and vulnerable. Two of my favorite things. I literally don't know what I would do without these podcasts lifting me up.

Need a creative pick-me-up?
Dr. Pizza is here for you! This podcast has picked me off of the floor when I wanted to just give up and if you’re looking for something to bring life back to your creative perspective, this may be exactly what you need. Pop in those earbuds, take a long walk and stay pepped up!

Attention artists: Stop what you're doing and listen to this show!

Join the Pep-peroni Team!
I recently started listening, and am getting so much out of the Creative Destiny series! I'm not a visual artist, (I'm a blogger/writer) and it's fantastic that Andy doesn't just focus on topics that apply to visual artists. What he talks about applies to creative people in all realms, and the Creative Destiny series really applies to all people, period. And how can you not love anyone who, over the course of a few episodes, skillfully weaves in references to Memento, The Matrix and My Little Pony?! Andy - keep up the good work and I hope you can keep pepping us up for a long time.

Andy is so inspiring!
I have realized that I use this podcast almost as a reset button. I can always count on Andy telling me something that shakes up my view and helps me to reevaluate whether what I am doing is working or not. Thank you so much!

Super Fun & Inspiring But Real Practical Advice Too!
Love this podcast and the energy and personality Andy brings to each episode. His topics are spot on- anything you might be experiencing as a creative professional or aspiring creative- and he covers each one with depth, humor, and always includes real down-to-earth actions or advice. I look forward to every episode and have re-listened to several. Thumbs up all the way!

For Any Creative
This podcast is gold for ANY creative. Andy is genuine, goofy and thoughtful. His guests are interesting and helpful. Most of all Andy is a “truth teller”...meaning he kindly makes you think about the reality of where you are versus where you want to be and how you need to adjust course or pivot to get there. It’s just GOLD.

Powerful words to fuel the artists
Andy just knocks it out of the park with his interviews and personal talks. The episode on successful side projects was powerful ! Great inspiration and useful advice for anyone in a creative career. He continues to inspire me weekly with his talks and challenges! I would gladly buy Andy several pizzas!

Motivational
I think Andy always has something inspiring to say, in the way that I've never heard an episodes without writing the core part down in my notebook! Not because he doesn't speak memorable, because he does! But just because I don't want to forget what he made me realise or how I should be looking at this specific issue. It's all great advise he gives and entertaining at the same time, and it's keeps me going the right way, so maybe it will do that for you too?! Give it a listen X

Will Keep You on Your Toes!
Such a funtastic Podcast! I absolutely appreciate Andy's great enthusiasm for life, creativity, and color! I was enthralled with his interview with Debbie Millman. Such surprising content arose about personal branding that I will implement and be forever grateful: Real Branding is an Unearthy of who your truly are!! Go show the world how you are different than everyone else! CaraF13
