Being a self employed creative, I need a pep talk quite often. This podcast is the perfect listen when you need a little boost and need to feel a little less lonely on the creative career path!

I’ve been listening to Andy’s podcast for so long that I can’t help but sing the theme song at the top of my lungs every time I start an episode. As a creative who also works a 9 to 5, I appreciate that Andy talks about things in relation to the “creative journey” rather than assuming we are all full-time artists. What makes this well-considered and empathetic conversations even more impactful is the stellar sound editing, along with the soundtrack by the band Why? 100% recommend!

Keep going your asome

I like the idea of this podcast and think Andy’s heart is in the right place, BUT…this is just 95% ads and sponsorships and 5% actual podcast. Literally one of the most egregious podcasts for just spewing ads I’ve ever heard. It’s the podcast version of a food blogger’s recipe post where there is endless blabber about his other projects and events before anything else.

I struggle a lot with managing my ADHD and sometimes I feel hopeless, as an artist, because of it. It helps a lot to hear an incredible artist with ADHD share his successes, struggles and toolsets. Thanks, Andy J. PIZZAAA, for showing us it can be done.

needed this help and motivation to share my work on social media today, thank you Andy!! This podcast rocks!

Thank you again!! I cannot thank you enough for all that you’re doing and I am especially grateful for episode #455 about ADHD. Of all the research that I’ve been doing this year this one really strikes Home the most. I bought the book, gonna listen to it next. And I saved and shared this episode with my entire community:)) keep doing what you’re doing, because you’re doing great work!!👍🏼🫶🏼🤘🏼❤️

When you want a *creative* pep talk, listening to someone talk about the usefulness of AI tools—trained on millions of pieces of stolen work—is the last place a genuine creative wants to turn. Unfollowing the show ✌️

I’ve listened to this podcast a long time - every week. And every episode has supported me as an artist. Andy gives me more to consider all the time, introduces me to new ideas and ways of thinking - ways of framing my life, and he gives me so many “aha” moments about things I’ve been thinking about too. Episode 468 gave me one of those aha moments and it’s such a relief to finally understand what’s going on in my head around being a creative. Thanks Andy for this part of what you create. You are like a midwife for artistry.

I love Andy’s authenticity and heart. I’m not even a commercial artist. I’m a Psychologist by day and an art quilter the rest of the time, and this show is motivating in so many ways, no matter what I’m doing! Please don’t stop making these episodes Andy!
