Whoa, Andy J Pizza, you totally nailed this one! Loved the Toy Story reference. I was so inspired that I will listen to it again. It was awesome that you mentioned how hesitant you were to share your ideas, but it was worth it to me. I never thought of the obstacles in my life being a way to flush out my story. Thanks again, great job, so glad that I heard it today.

Andy WILL pep you up!

I've been listening to Andy's Creative Peptalk for years and have found it consistently inspiring, informative, hilarious, touching and mind-blowing. I found Andy's podcast when I was a bit lost at sea, and with his positive and practical approach to creativity, I got my bearings and started sailing where I wanted to go. Even though I feel like I'm on the right path, I still enjoy the weekly company and pep-reminder. I don't know what I would do without it! Also: his skillshare classes are among the best—and the most entertaining!

Thanks for giving me permission to show up as me

Andy, thank you for giving me permission to just show up and do it. I found you through Skillshare and your class on social media changed my life. I’m still working on things but I’ve been in all your Skillshare classes and I was so glad to see someone saying you don’t have to create from a blank paper. You gave me permission to use references but also you helped me step out of my comfort zone and find a path to sharing my art. Thank you so much!! If you haven’t checked out his Skillshare classes, you’re missing out!

A delight

Andi’s enthusiasm and eloquent way of talking about creative process, creative thinking, strategy and more, is absolutely incredible. I’ve been freelancing for about four years, and throughout my journey, I’ve struggle with severe anxiety that has manifested in chest pain along with depression because of the pressure of the industry, specially doing it alone. Creative pep talk has become a tool for me to get out of my funk and keep going. Super duper grateful for having someone like Andi sharing his knowledge experience and passion for creativity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you inspire me to keep going and you remind me of the joy that exist behind being a creative. Gracias 🌹

This guy knows his stuff

Andy (Pizza) Miller is my creative muse. His perspectives, observations and insight into the creative process are spot on. I’m most impressed with his authenticity. He makes no apologies for his nature and how he views the world. In fact it is that nature that sets him apart! Thank you, Andy for your spark!! Your guidance is invaluable!!

My absolute favorite

Creative peptalk is my go to podcast to get energized about my small business. I work on my own from home as a freelancer designer and that can bring a lot of doubt and confusion sometimes. Andy has a way of knowing exactly was creatives need to hear.. I am not quite sure how he does it, but I love it!

A dream podcast for anyone who’s creative!

If you make stuff, it’s highly possible every episode of this podcast will speak directly to you. The insights and observations Andy makes are so thought-provoking and helpful. These episodes really are pep talks. You’ll get jazzed about creating again, if you haven’t been feeling like it. If you have been creating and want to hear juicy explorations of different nitty-gritty aspects of the journey, this podcast absolutely provides that. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better podcast for me to listen to while I paint and when I prepare to write each day. Andy has a great voice and is funny. He would've made a great comedic actor. Anyway, you gotta listen to this podcast, it’s fantastic.

Life Changing for Creatives

I honestly don’t even know how to put it into words how I feel about this podcast. I’ve always been an aspiring illustrator and designer. After graduating from college during the pandemic with my graphic design degree, I wasn’t able to find a job within my field and ended up working a 9-5 office job. I it was depressing because I missed being surrounded by other creative people and immersed in a creative environment. I found this podcast at the beginning of 2021 and while I sat at my work desk, I listened to every. Single. Episode. I felt like Andy was my life long friend. Each episode brought me back to live. I looked forward to hearing his pep talks everyday. I would leave work and go home to create something just to keep the spark he lit in me alive. He also speaks about mental health and his struggles with ADHD, which I relate to. This podcast truly helped me out of depression, it’s brought me to tears at times. I could go on and on, but ultimately you just have to listen for your self just to grasp how amazing this podcast is. Thank you Andy for showing up every week and giving us all something to look forward to. Thanks to you I’m beginning my own creative practice and starting to work on a kids book of my own. I can not express how grateful I am. Stay pepped up!

My absolute fav design podcast!!!

Found this podcast about a month ago, because I’m a graphic designer myself and currently trying to make a career change from being in the insurance/retail space. I was looking for insight on the design field and how to be the best designer I can. I 👏🏻 AM 👏🏻 HOOOOOOOOKED 👏🏻 on this podcast! Loooove the playful energy, atmosphere, knowledge and empathy that Andy has for all of us creatives. You can tell he truly loves this field and wants to help us creatives as much as he can. I’m also learning about sooo many other amazing designers and their journey into this field. Each episode is so full of amazing content. So happy I found this podcast.

Amazing pep podcast for art students

I’m finishing up my last year of my undergrad for art education. I’m 30 and following my dream to be an art teacher. I feel like this podcast keeps me going and I love listening to them on my commute to school. He inspires me to pass on these ideas to my future students. Love the energy he brings to the show and all the special guests. Thanks, Andy J PIZZA!

Best Medicine!

As an introverted Brit, I do have to brace myself when I first hit play - but from the opening jingle I know Mr Pizza will shed light on some thorny creative roadblock. There’s depth too - Andy navigates the creative journey with real care and insight. A must have piece of pep that will leave you wiser.

Listen to this, it’s a gem!

I started listening to this show last winter. And it has been such. a. breath. of fresh air. I love Andy’s playful but also practical & deep approach to building a creative career. He gives so many concrete handles for specific things we can do to improve our practice, following, and work (no matter what discipline). I am a designer & illustrator and have felt pretty lost for a long time as to what direction to channel my efforts. And having him share some real things I can do to develop focus and clarity about where I’m trying to go as an artist is sooo helpful. He also has a huge variety of inspiring guests on the show and dives into each of their journeys toward creating great work. Andy asks thoughtful questions and gives the guest plenty of space to respond. Listen to this podcast, it holds lots of gems.

Always and forever

The pep is for real. Sometimes i’m listening with my eyes in stalks trying to keep up. Andy ‘Pizza’ is very good, you’re ready to move, take action, get it on at the end of any episode.
