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!

If you work in any way in the creative world this podcast is a MUST

No clickbait in any way Andy will give you a really amazing pep talk each episode, i love the way he explain each topic with lots of passion and knowledge.

My weekly motivation dose

This is, without any doubt, the best podcast I know for creative people. Andy talks so passionately not only about creating a thriving creative career (in practical terms, through marketing and strategy), but also about finding purpose as a creative and the reason why we are here on this planet. Big stuff! Incredibly inspiring and encouraging, the best way to get motivated. Thank you Dr. Pizza! Finding this podcast was trully game changing.
