Creative Pep Talk Andy J. Pizza

This episode will help you:
- Find ways to make your work even if you feel you have no time
- Specific productivity hacks that help you find more bandwidth to create
- Eliminate stuff you shouldn't focus on and double down on what matters

In this episode we tackle:
1 - Why you might feel untethered, overwhelmed and confused about your practice.
2 - A step by step checklist to check in with your practice for what you may be missing or stuck on.
3 - A model for how a small group of passionate fans can become a full blown cultural movement.

If you’re a creative pro or aspire to be one - you probably put a lot of pressure on your creative work.

In this episode I chat with illustrator / designer Mauro Gatti who has managed to free up loads of creativity by separating what he does for money and what he does pro bono, as well as forever attempting to balance work life with a personal life.

If you’ve been struggling with pressure and workaholism, this conversation is for you!
