AMAZING!! Where has this been all my life?!
I just found this podcast today and as a creative (fashion designer), it speaks to so many insecurities that I’ve kept locked away, but ultimately hindered me from success. I’m only one episode in and I’m hooked! THANK YOU for your honesty and courage to do this podcast for us small fries with big dreams and I can’t wait to hear more!

Best Creative Podcast!
I suggest this podcast to anyone creative, artists writers or musicians can all benefit from listening to this podcast. There have been a few times I was listening to this show and I turned it off to go get busy! Thanks Andy!!!!

Funny and smart
I listen to podcasts while walking and (gasp) accidentally discovered Creative Pep Talks while looking for help with Instagram for artists. The self deprecating humor had me laughing out loud. Great information delivered in a totally entertaining way. I can’t wait to dive into more episodes!

My favorite podcast
I subscribe to a lot of podcasts—mostly marketing and creativity related. This is my favorite! (I’m also the same enneagram type as Andy, so just about everything he says resonates with me!)

I love Andy J Pizza
I’ve been listening for a few years now- on my drive to and from work, on the elliptical in the basement- and it always inspires me. This is really a philosophy podcast. It applies to life in so many ways. As a direct result of listening, I’m writing a book now and I’m so excited about it every single day!

Not just for creatives
I honestly think that everyone should listen to this podcast. In a world, where every field is becoming saturated, we need new, creative ways to penetrate our industries and to stay relevant. Dr Andy J Pizza is the one you need -he is the modern day Nanny McPhee!! I am proud to be a (pescatarian) pepperoni. Thank you, so much Andy.

I found this podcast early last year, and I am hooked on every new episode!
Earlier last year, I decided to start thinking about creative work as the next step in my journey; Dr. Pizza’s deep-pan dish of the finest motivational pep in the land! His series on Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey sparked a relationship to a project I began earlier this year and in listening to Andy every so often, I find a deep sense of connection and understanding of his vision for the world. We couldn’t be more thankful for someone like the Dr. himself!
Thank you for everything you do Andy, I for one can say I wouldn’t really be the person I am now without his pep-talks every now and then.
Much love from Australia,
AJ

Real actionable advice
I'm a designer and artist who has struggled with the balance between paid work and my exploratory work for a long time. This podcast has done an amazing job of making me think about my work in a different light and give me real advice on how to improve it and enjoy it again.
Only build for Andy is to step back and let your interviewers speak more - love hearing their perspectives. Much love!

I love storytelling with great metaphors and Andy is full of incredible stories. Andy pulls inspiration from so many different people, places and genres. I learn so much from each episode. This podcast showed up in my life when I was very confused and discouraged about my creative process. He has helped infuse new life and meaning into my photography and artistic journey.

A guide you didn’t know you needed
This has to be one of the most honest podcast for creatives. A deep, real, and intriguing conversation (+tangents) of the struggles to fulfilling your creative quest. Great Work! DR PIZZAAAA!!!!!

Super peppy!
Andy’s podcast helped me get through a boring desk job, the subsequent layoff, and then inspired me to return to my first love of drawing. I love the constant metaphors and the Hero’s Journey allegory. The guest artists he invites to join him are top-notch and filled with lots of useful and insightful tips and tricks to get my creative juices flowing. If you’re at all creatively-inclined, you NEED to check it out!

The Chicken Pot Pie Podcast!
Wait, no, it’s Creative Pep Talk!! But one of my favorite things about Andy and this podcast is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. One day he introduced it as the Chicken Pot Pie Podcast just to be goofy, and that stuck with me. He has a lighthearted approach, while at the same time being super pumped up about helping YOU on your journey.
You know, that artsy thing that you do on the side for fun that people keep telling you you should try and sell? This is what Andy wants to help you to do. He gives great advice on creative ways to brand & promote your work; get out of a creative rut; how to find your super fans; and how to stay sane and take care of yourself mentally & emotionally. Besides being extremely goofy, he also brings out all the feelings and yes, he has been known to cry on the show. But only because he’s so passionate about helping you! Give it a listen if you need a pep talk. And then GO MAKE SOMETHING

If you only listen to one podcast, make it this one
Guys. This podcast so good. Like, change your life kinda good. Listening to CPT has changed the trajectory of my creative career in the best ways! In addition to having amazing guests on the show who are super inspiring and/or relatable, Andy’s storytelling and pep talks are the perfect blend of supportive, inspiring, motivating, and funny. Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough!!

Positive, Constructive, Creative Fuel
Creative pep talk is one of my favorite podcasts. It gave me hope again after burning out my senior year of college and working at jobs I don’t feel passion for. Andy’s vibe will just make you feel better with his positivity. I think the most valuable aspects are that he gives you things you can work on and think about for your creative career path and listening to other creatives talk about theirs. Give it a shot and give your self some PEP!

Mindset shift
It’s about time I write down some compliments about Andy and CPT. After a whirlwind of tough years I almost had given up on myself. At the beginning of this year I decided I’d give myself a new chance. Andy and CPT have been a large influence in helping to keep me going and to help me shift my old ways of thinking into a new mindset of staying active and figure out how to approach obstacles and turn them into oppertunities. There’s stil a long way to go but I’m really grateful how CPT has helped me to where I am right now. Andy is open, honest, realistic, and know’s what your going through. He has a very heartfelt way of sharing his own knowledge and experience. Thank you Andy!

Exceptional
Creative pep team, the gold you drop in each podcast is amazing.
I’ve binged listened so many episodes in the last week, it’s not only lifted my spirits but given me actionable career advice, of which I’m so grateful for right now.
I think Andy and co are inspiring not only as artists, but for kind, generous human beings that I aspire to be more like.
Thank you!

Thank you, Andy, from Lodi Ohio
Just listened to the interview with Jamie Drake as I painted in my studio...another heartfelt learning and sharing journey from a beautiful soul! I am 73 years old, a retired high school art teacher, painter, and lover of all things that advance the human condition. I first heard you on The Savvy Painter podcast and decided I needed to listen and subscribe to the Creative Pep Talk, because...who doesn’t need a creative pep talk on a regular basis!? I am not looking to advance my career or even start one, but I do thoroughly enjoy the interviews, the deep dives into the psyche of artists, the encouragements, the sharing of personal journeys, ideas, insecurities, and fresh takes on the business of art in these times. Thank you for being a constant companion in my studio. Never, ever stop learning.

Thank God for Andy J Pizza
I’ve been loyal listener for over two years now...and each episode is exactly what I needed to hear that week. This is such a great podcast for artists but especially for all those quirky artists out there...Andy makes you feel confident in your quirks and helps you use them to your advantage.
