Customer Reviews
Love it! Get yourself some pep too!
I have been listening to Creative PepTalk for so long that I probably should be sending Andy and Sophie a holiday card at the end of the year. I cannot begin to thank CPT for all the pep over time. Creative work is not without some grind, or frustration, or doubt, or challenge and the podcast was always there to give me a lift when I needed it. So grateful, much appreciated, thank you, thank you, thank you Andy J Pizza!

Love this podcast but the filler sound clips every other sentence are super annoying.
Helped me enormously along the journey
Andy has been there for me every week since I started listening (maybe a year and a half ago?). His energy, experience, and wisdom gets me to think differently about my art journey but also often vindicates my current feelings and questions. So many times Andy has given me the tools I need to move forward in my work. As an artist, so much of the work is internal.
