  • Pep Talks Are Needed

    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!

  • Creative pep-up with amazing sound editing

    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!

  • Just a commercial

    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.

  • Pizza Power! 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀

    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.
