I feel so inspired
Are you ever out and see something so beautiful/amazing/griping that you get so inspired and want to grab the nearest piece of paper and just give life to all these new ideas? This is how this podcast makes me feel. It really makes my office job bearable because I realize it's only temporary and not every artist starts off immediately where they want to be. On top of being inspiring, this podcast gives me hope.

Unwavering Pep-Tastic Spirit
How do I even begin to articulate the gift that Andy has given to me and so many listeners? It has taken me ages to finally sit down and write this review, perhaps because each new episode surpasses the next in excellence.
Andy launched Creative Pep Talk around the same time he started teaching at my alma mater, a class that I was so privileged to be a part of, and let me tell you first hand - the goodies he is providing through Creative Pep Talk (for FREE) are priceless. Seriously folks, I cannot fully describe how much value Andy brings to this realm. So open the gift that is Creative Pep Talk and feel the power of the pep within Andy's unwavering pep-tastic spirit!

Serious, inspiring and accessible
At the end of 2015 I discovered the Creative Peptalk. I immediately loved this podcast and I find it inspiring in many ways. Andy J. Miller talks about the struggles you have being a professional in the creative industrie. While sharing his own insights, experiences and ideas, he challenges you to think about what you want to accomplish and discover your own path (career). A very inspiring and fun podcast to listen too. Thank you for making them!

Deep and fun the same time
I’ve been listening to Andy on the Creative Peptalk for some months now. I keep coming back, because he makes every topic very accessible. He talks a lot about out mindset and barriers as artists and humans, some very deep things, but the way he talks is fun and light. I’ve got some great insights, nice laughs and some truly good info from the show. Go Andy! :)

My daily motivator
I love the Creative Pep Talk. It’s a wonderful podcast filled with reflections on the daily use of creativity, mainly in the commercial arts, but a lot of the advice and ideas can be used throughout different areas. I have recommended this podcast over and over to friends because it’s such a great tool to keep improving and developing my art. It’s my daily motivator as I keep listening to the episodes time and time again. Thank you Andy J. :)

Andy tells so many new things to think about and also those little things, about which we forget but which are actually so important for creative people to organaze themselfs in what they are doing. He cheers me up and fills me with inspiration !

Inspiring and motivating
I listen to Andy J. Miller podcast while I work on my illustrations and I find his point of view very inspiring and motivating. He reflects about common issues for any kind of creative out there, I'd recommend to hear this to all the young aspiring illustrators/cartoonist/designers and also to my colleagues that struggle with daily issues trying to make a living as freelancers. Andy is funny and easy to follow, just try it!

Career Changer!
Andy’s podcast has literally changed the way I see my career as a freelance commercial artist. His advice is super on point, and he addresses real problems with real solutions and tactics. I haven’t finished all the episode yet, as I am still relatively new to the podcast, but in that sense I consider myself the lucky one who still has some episodes left.

SWEET!
I started listening to this podcast at the right time, i’m a graphic designer but i want to be more in the illustration world because i am more passionate for drawing and painting, but i was lost because i don't have a style or something to communicate as an illustrator. i did not know how to start. BUT this podcast is helping me a lot, and now i have a plan to begin and keep going, so i love it! Andy J. Miller explains all like a wise friend. :) keep swimming

Keeps me pepped up
Creative pep talk is one of those must-listen-to podcasts when it comes to illustration, or, living as a creative maker in general. He brings up a broad variety of subjects worth reflecting upon, that, even if I'm in the area of commercial art as Andy, I can see it applicable on other disciplines as well. For example, in one of the latest episodes the subject of what value you bring and how you should try to put that into words that other can resonate with, is super helpful no matter if you're a graphic designer, project manager or pretty much anything else.
And the audio quality is consistently good too, which in combination with Andy's voice makes it pleasurable to listen to for longer than one hour sessions. Really! I think those are important aspects of a good podcast as well.

This podcast is one of my favourite. I listen to it whenever I'm illustrating and there is a new episode out.
I'm a graphic design student and I want to focus on illustration. This podcast has helped me a lot to understand how things work in the industry. Things are a bit different here in Austria (yay, you've got a fan in Austria, Andy!), but the mechanisms at work are still the same.
Thank you very much for this great podcast!

Relationships
First off, this is the first podcast I can actually listen to without tuning out midway. So thank you very much for that :) it means that the content is gripping me and holding me at just the right moments.
As for the Relationships episode, I was intrigued by the topic, because I just started a bunch of illustrations based on this theme. So I loved the content. The learning aspect (siblings and colleagues), the topic of letting others grow through you, it's awesome. The only thing I disagreed with was the 'not having gone to the UK' part. I think that if you're open for it, you can meet great people and help others achieve greatness no matter where you are. College in Columbia or art school in the UK.
But overall I love the podcasts! Thank you for making them!
