One of the best podcasts out there

Andy Pizza is a master at bringing clarity to what is often a jumble of thoughts in my head. His insights into the creative process are truly outstanding. And it’s not just fun to listen to (Andy is super funny), it’s actually helpful for me. One of the best podcasts out there by far.

The Inspiration Talk I Needed

I stumbled upon this podcast when I was starting school for graphic design. I am now 2 months in and even more excited to continue my personal practice. Each time I need a pep talk I sit and listen and am able to find the motivation I need to keep going. Thank you for such a beautiful and informative podcast.

Thanks for all the pep talk Andy

Thanks for choosing to post an episode every single week, I look forward to them each week. As an engineer and having ADHD, I live in consistent draw between my professional procedural self and creative personal self. You help me get going after work. Keep up the great work!
