Helps me keep going

I love that there are episodes for every phase of the creative process. There are messages to get you motivated, help you discover your voice, evolve, refine, and grow, etc. But I think what I appreciate the most is the encouragement and reassurance during this particular era of humanity. I just listened to episode 272 and it helped me feel more optimistic about the situation. Thank you!

An absolute joy.

Don’t always get to listen to it each week but when I do, it is always a 100% mood booster. I LOVE the interview with Abbi Jacobson. Thanks, Andy. 💕

I’ve found my people!

Listening to Andy’s podcasts feels like sitting in a room with other people who finally “get” me. All of the things I thought were reasons I’m not where I want to be yet on my creative journey or quirks that have always made me feel different from others have been dragged out, one by one, and examined in a new light which finally makes sense. And (surprise) I’m not alone, not by far. I’m just an artist. Andy has helped me understand myself as an emerging artist, accept where I am on my personal journey and feel inspired to keep going, again and again. Thank you!

One of the most rewarding podcasts.

Andy has such a way to be personable and make you feel like you’re in the room with him. He is talking to you personally and give himself the same pep talk. It makes you feel empowered about your art and make you understand it takes a lot of work.. but it’s worth it. ❤️ Thank you so much Andy.

Fire

A friend recommended this podcast to me for a bit, and I finally got around to checking it out. I just thanked her for repeatedly recommending it and told her what it did for me. She suggested I share my enthusiasm here (always paying it forward, that one). So here’s my text! “Yeah, so far it's been SO valuable! I dunno how it morphs over time but so far it's just bombshells. It's the way I feel when I've just been talking with someone about creative plans, you know? When you're so lit up you go home and write a whole song or film or whatever and don't eat and it's 11pm all of a sudden lol. I love that feeling.”

Andy J. Pizza is so full of energy and is so knowledgeable on creativity and does such a great job of trying to unlock that in other creatives. I’ve been following and listening for a while and each episode is always so refreshing and informative. Keep up the great work Andy!

MAN am I glad I found this podcast!

Only a few episodes in and I’ve found myself rewinding, pausing to run and grab a note book to take notes and even listening to episodes multiple times to make sure I don’t miss anything. Andy goes on these tangents that are just full of inspiring goodness that I don’t want to forget! And he’s hilarious!! So glad there are sooo many episodes ahead of me I still have to listen to!!!

Last episode

Love ur podcast every week I listen! Always valuable information! Just this last episode i wanted to comment on because it seems to me you played it faster than the natural speed and for someone with add ,like u, its imposible to keep up its really overwhelming. I would need 100% of my undivided attention to not loose the train of thought.. if i distract for a second i loose a ton of conversation.. i don’t know if its just me, i just hope its just this one episode. I have tried to listen to other podcasts that do this but its truly imposible for me. i just want to keep on listening to u every week.. anyway thanks for showing up and delivering 100% always!

Absolutely Amazing

I have been listening to Andy J Pizza’s podcast for about a year now, and absolutely love it! He is hilarious, so inspirational and full of wisdom. He uses great metaphors to explain concepts and ideas, and because I am such a visual thinker it helps me a lot to absorb what he says. I am just beginning my creative career and this podcast has been exactly what I need to believe in myself and my potential! Thanks Andy!! 💛✨

Speaking to my soul.

The host is 100% talking to my inner artist self. I’m 12 min into my first episode and I had to come leave a review because I just know I’m going to soak all of this in. Not to mention host is naturally hilarious! Major bonus!

Andy speaks my language!!

I always listen to Andy’s podcasts while I am working in the studio. He has such thought provoking creative ideas and OMG, he uses metaphors in his communication. That is SO my language. He is the only podcast I keep up with...which says a lot.

My university fine art teachers should listen to this 🤯

Seriously, this podcast brought so much insight. I often catch myself thinking all those years in the academic world and nothing like this show helped me focused on what was important in my practice. Not saying fine art university are crap, just mind blown by what this podcast can bring to creative minds looking for a home. Keeep it uppp❤️✨

The only podcast I binge listen!

I don‘t normally listen to podcasts, but I am a huge huge fan of it. I love to binge listen it while I draw and the content is of such a high value that I sometimes listen episodes more than once. Every creative needs this podcast! (And I love the energy of Andy, something I can really relate to)

My favorite podcast (and I listen to a lot of podcasts)

So much more than a pep talk. Andy brings a level of energy and experience to each episode which makes this show equally entertaining and insightful. His metaphors and insights have helped shed light onto issues i’ve faced in my own career. Excited to hear more!

Love from The Land Of Aus!

I just discovered this podcast last year, and it has changed my life for the better! I am now an emerging artist and pursuing my goals with more confidence than I ever thought possible. I have autism, and Andy 100% supports and encourages everyone to be themselves - the more weirdness the better! Thankyou for supporting neurological diversity and inspiring all creatives to be exactly who they were meant to be. Your advice is practical and honest and this podcast is absolute gold mate. Love from Australia!
