Can't rave enough! This podcast is a must-listen
I recommend this podcast to everyone, but it is absolutely essential if you are someone building a career in the creative industry. Seriously, I have listened to a lot of entrepeneur/creative podcasts, and CPT is as good as it gets. Inspiring, informative, compusively positive. Andy is like your favorite teacher, coach, and therapist all in one! He really keeps me and my business going when things get tough.

Anserwed my email
It's always great to hear andy! He is an "art dad" motivator. He encourages us to find the core of our works value. I also asked him to check out my work and provide some feedback for what he thought was valuable in my work and he did! Always great to receive confirmation from the best when just starting out!

Insight
Thank you! I am in my first year of study and until I found Creative Pep Talk I had no real insight into the creative industry. I recommend this
Podcast as it is so helpful and encouraging!

I just recently started getting into podcasts and this one is amazing! I am a full time graphic designer at a company and this podcast has inspired me to continue illustrating in my personal time. Also, listening to Andy just makes me happy. Don’t change. Don’t go away.

Post-election ep. 109 inspired me to review
I'm a fairly new listener & have been enjoying this podcast. But ep. 109, dated 9Nov16, is so full of compassion, hope, & calling to meaningful action, that I had to come here immediately & bestow my 5 stars. Please do give it the 15-minute listen!

It's an absolute pleasure to listen to the Creative Pep Talk with Andy J. Miller. It has become a part of my routine while I work. Topics covered are so useful to anyone striving for a successful creative career. Can't recommend this enough, for people who need a bit of pepping up, it really got me excited to start making great, fuffilling work! Give it a shot!

GOLD! A must listen.
Wow, Andy J Pizza. I really can't say enough about how helpful this podcast has been for me in growning my confidence as an illustrator. There are so many moments I have literally paused the podcast to go write down some amazing golden nugget of wisdom. The conversations are a breathe of fresh air in what can sometimes be a stifling climate as a person trying to work creatively. Andy and his guests, debunk a lot of myths surrounding what it means to work as a creative and make a living!! They get really practical and down to earth which is so refreshing.
Not only is this podcast hilarious and entertaining, but it is super real, heartfelt and relatable. Andy speaks from a place of real authenticity which I think is key as a creative person. Also, his guests come from all different arenas of creative vocations which just helps you realize you're not the only person in the world, trapped in your basement, experiencing these same creative struggles. You walk away feeling SUPER pepped up, ready to make awesome work and you feel somehow connected to a bigger creative community.
Honestly, since listening to this, my work has really reached a new level and I've been braver about sharing and finding a voice. I've been stuck in a three year- post grad- artist rut and thanks to CPT I've been able to unearth some creative gold! Keep going!

Andy Miller: Creative Sherpa
If nothing else, Andy has a way with words that makes you feel like you've been best friends forever. That quality alone lets you know you can trust him, because only genuinely authentic people have that quality. His advice, intuition, and passion are everything you need to stay focused and motivated on the path to being a creative professional.

Woo Woooo
This show is seriously uplifting amidst the many low moments of trying to make it as an independent creative. Thanks to Andy for his endless enthusiasm that penetrates even the most robust cynicism!

Refreshingly genuine and self-aware
Andy's approach to a design podcast is honest, kind and welcoming. I knew he was a keeper when he mentioned Elizabeth Gilbert and Brene Brown in the same show. He handles the sensitive topics of anxiety, success, and growth with grace and humor that I haven't heard with other designer podcasts. I could not recommend his podcast more.

A must for anyone doing creative work
This podcast is my weekly anti-cinicism medicine. I highly recommend it to anyone doing creative work, whether for a company or independently. We all struggle with the same issues of self-doubt, anxiety, etc., and the way Andy addresses each issue with complete honesty and transparency is truly inspiring. Ditto for his guests. He really has built a fountain of motivation with his podcast. Thank you Andy <3

Truly truly helpful and encouraging
It seems to me that creative brains are the most prone to self doubt and despair, and Andy speaks directly to those parts of us when we need it most.

Continually putting the PEP in my step!
Andy's vulerable and honest look into the everyday problems we face as creatives is refreshing. His ability to tackle the sticky topics and deliver solutions/support is second to none. Andy is one of the most selfless people I know and his dedication to teaching shows through in how he prepares and delivers his message in every podcast. I can't even begin to express the value I gained from listening to Creative Pep Talk.

Great work.
I love this podcast. I have found artmaking to be a really lonely pursuit at times, especially after moving away from my group of artist friends. It's been really hard to suddenly lose the kinship I found with them, and to try to generate all my own ideas in what feels like a vacuum. It's been awesome to know I can listen to this podcast and get a little boost of creative energy.
Andy gets a variety of people on the podcast and when he's alone, he's super thoughtful and insightful about creativity. Love his work and love the work of the guests. This podcast has made me re-think parts of my process and has improved my work.
