Here’s what Katherine said about the episode: The ADHD and autistic tendency to rest in motion is fully realised in American author and illustrator Andy J. Pizza’s vision of the ideal retreat. Choosing an extraordinary fictional setting which incorporates an ingenious method of traveling the world, this episode showcases the wonder of a brilliantly creative, neurodivergent brain. Along the way, and with many fascinating tangents, Andy and Katherine discuss the power of Miyazaki films, their shared love of Fraggle Rock and longing for direction from the universe. A meticulously thought out and fully realised world that accommodates his own personal experience of ADHD, Andy unveils the most beautifully zany and imaginative dreamscape.

Pretty much everyday you are told that AI is coming for your job, but NOT TODAY, because today we talk with Angus Fletcher PhD.

Angus is an expert in story AND neuroscience, and in this episode, we will dive into Fletcher’s research that will show you how to access your “Primal Intelligence” AKA something AI cannot do!!

Angus Fletch has a PhD in Literature from Yale studying Shakespeare and a BS in neuroscience from the University of Michigan. This unique blend of story and science makes him one of the most fascinating people I have ever met and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this conversation!

I HIGHLY recommend you pick up Angus' new book “Primal Intelligence:

Pizza We've all been convinced from movies and media that we must CHASE OUR DREAMS and it will ALL WORK OUT! But what happens when you've given it everything you've got and it really hasn't worked out anything like what you were dreaming of? Today on the show I have Illustrator and YouTube Anoosha Syed. Take one look at Anoosha's career illustrating for mega clients like Netflix and Disney, illustrating over 25 picture books and now bringing out a kids book she's also AUTHORED and it's easy to assume she is truly LIVING THE DREAM! But Anoosha wouldn't say that's exactly the case. In this episode she shares why this life wasn't really her dream at all, but also why that letting go of her dreams was essential to building the life she loves. If you are sick and tired of chasing your creative dreams to no avail, you gotta check out this episode for how to know when to quit, and how to find a path forward to a life that might even be better than any you could dream up!

It’s ironic that for many of us - the magic of our creative heroes is what attracts us to the creative journey, but then years into the process, we’ve yet to capture anything like that in our own work, and that same magical creative work that made us say yes to the journey is what is making us feel like phonies and causing us to want to abandon our practice. In todays episode we’re going to explore how to unlock that creative magic in your work by finding and utilizing the power of your creative sensibility.

Pizza How did an artist whose primary medium is drawing, go on to collaborate with a legendary rapper like Kendrick Lamar, choreograph a ballet for the Boston Ballet and even being invited to give a TED talk? From this conversation, it seems the answer is to defy how people think about what you do. When the world thinks of a drawing, they think of a static image, but for Shantell Martin it’s a dance, it’s a path, it’s a living journey and it’s maybe even a question. This episode will inspire you to defy your own labels and challenge you to see your work in a way you’ve never perceived before!

Pizza The biggest wins in my creative journey never fit squarely into the whole “just follow your passion and everything will work out” philosophy, but they were never pure pragmatism either. For this reason, even after nearly 8 years of making a podcast that tries to strike the balance between the magic of creativity and the realism of building a career, I still felt pulled between these two extremes, with no real resolve. But I recently stumbled upon a new perspective that synthesizes these two seemingly oppositional takes in such a powerful way that it instantly gave me clarity and action steps. If you’re consistently stuck in the analysis paralysis between following your head or going with your heart, this episode will give you tools to strike the balance in a surprising and useful way.

Pizza You wouldn’t get very far as a basketball player, if you played by the rules of soccer. Can you imagine? Trying to play without touching the ball with your hands? It’d be ridiculous! Actually impossible! And yet, in your creativity, you let other people’s creative rules and values make you feel disqualified all the time. You’ve heard it before “the only rule in creativity is that there are no rules”, so why do we constantly feel like imposters who are “doing it wrong”? I have a hypothesis: Because we don’t realize that creativity means very different things to each and every artist. We all define and value creativity extremely differently. In this episode I want to help you figure out what creativity is about for you. When you start to figure out why YOU love creative work, you can let go of what OTHERS think it’s about and thrive in your own way. Let these frameworks help define where you’re going next.

Oh you haven’t heard of YR?! Ya know, like YR are you googling what YR is. Is it because you’re curious or is it that you’re just afraid of being left behind? It’s very easy to be tempted to run your creative practice on FOBLB (Fear of Being Left Behind), but is this a renewable sustainable source of energy? Or will it leave you burnt out and depleted?

Pizza I have good news and bad news. Bad news first: It’s true most people are not creative. At least Aristotle wouldn’t think so. Most folks agree that the phrase “we are what we repeatedly do” is a good summary of his mindset. And so, if that’s true. The crucial mark of the artist or creator is just one thing: do you do it repeatedly? Essentially, is being creative a habit? And so, since most people do not have a creative habit, Aristotle would then conclude, most people are NOT creatives! And that brings us to the good news: if you are what you repeatedly do, you GET TO DECIDE whether you're a creative. Being creative isn't a thing you have or you don't, it's a practice. Tad Carpenter is one of the most prolific creative people I’ve ever met. Yes. He has a clear abundance of talent, but the reason I wanted him on the show today was because I think he has some basic principles that can help you be a true creative. As we dive into his multi-year creative project, this episode will help you find ways of practicing creativity on a regular basis that is custom tailored and works for you!

Pizza Who’s your current favorite artist or creator right now? With them in mind, doesn’t it seem like those who truly capture our attention have something more than the run-of-the-mill creativity but instead harness some kind of mysterious creative magic? They may even be using the same instruments and devices, but there’s still some indescribable, seemingly undefinable gap between the ordinary and the transcendent. In today’s episode, I speak with story experts Brian McDonald and Jesse Bryan and we dive into the difference between art that falls flat and art that cuts to the core of its audience. These two guests brought a wealth of creative insight and totally blew me away!!! I left this conversation reeling from the mind blowing creative perspective shifts!!

Pizza Have you ever went looking for new art in your field to stoke your creative flame, but inadvertently squelched your fire completely when you realized just how overwhelmingly stiff the competition is these days? Being a creative can feel impossible. Even if you get past all your inner demons and can find the discipline to show up on a regular basis, you then face an even greater challenge: an enormous sea of competition. But there is good news: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE BEST you only have to be different and… be able to embody and articulate that difference in meaningful and clear ways in your work and how you position your work in the marketplace. In this episode we help you do just that. --- Listen & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creative-pep-talk/id929743897 TRANSCRIPT - - - SHOW NOTES - - - Stephen Pressfield - Tim FERRISS https://tim.blog/2021/02/26/steven-pressfield/ JP Coovert Dungeons and Dragons Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpcoovert/flik-silverpens-guide-to-dragon-town Strengthsfinder https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/252137/home.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_strengths_branded_cs_ecom&utm_term=strengthsfinder&gclid=CjwKCAjwlrqHBhByEiwAnLmYUGB1ao0ayJMiMUY9D8qgpxZT-O2OxQEUnkw50eamdUmeYONNcZ8bNhoCStkQAvD_BwE - - - SPONSORS - - - Spoonflower Shop, design and sell custom fabric, wallpaper and home decor on Spoonflower - if DIYing is your jam, SPOONFLOWER is THE destination for print-on-demand fabric, wallpaper and home decor products.

Pizza If you google “build it and they will come” the second most searched term is “build it and they will come bible”. This notion is so pervasive in our culture that we’re convinced it’s BIBLICAL! The problem? Well, beside the obvious issue that this is a line from a 90s Kevin Costner flick, this idea hurts artists and creatives. How? It convinces us that our only job is to make the work and that means we leave the job of being discovered to our audience, but finding and enjoying our work is not our audience’s business, it’s for their pleasure! In this episode we will dive into owning the work of getting our work discovered, as we explore some essential tips on how to do just that. --- Listen & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creative-pep-talk/id929743897 TRANSCRIPT - - - SHOW NOTES - - - TIME MAGAZINE Why You Forget Names Immediately—And How to Remember Them https://time.com/5348486/why-do-you-forget-names/ - - - SPONSORS - - - STORYBLOCKS Video is one of my most effective ways to stand out as a creator online these days - and with Storyblocks you can take your videos to the next level - with Affordable Subscriptions, Unlimited Downloads, and 1M+ Royalty Free Assets - you can level up your content at storyblocks.com/CreativePepTalk SHILLINGTON  Study graphic design with Shillington for 3 months full-time or 9 months part-time.

Pizza Creative work is subjective, but that doesn’t mean there is no good or bad, it just means that you define what’s good. Often though, we forget to actually do this! This episode is a deep dive into the practice of doing just that, how to develop your definition of good. We will also explore in real time how this process makes all the difference. Andy works as an illustrator but credits much of his creative practice to his design training.

Pizza This was a super cathartic chat with creative powerhouse Austin Kleon. In this chat we dive into some really big questions around influences, what happens when your creative heroes disappoint you and how to find what you want to do by using the shortcut of defining what you’re against. If you don’t know Austin - he’s the author of several incredible books including Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work and Keep Going. I think of Kleon as my older cooler creative cousin, who’s much more well read than I am! HA! ---   MY NEW KIDS BOOK “A PIZZA WITH EVERYTHING ON IT” IS OUT NOW!!!

Pizza The worst thing about being lost is not knowing whether every step is getting you closer to being found or further away. It’s maddening! Have you ever felt this way in your creative journey? Is this dread haunting your creative process? More often than not, this is because you are lost. When you don’t know where you’re headed, you can’t know if what you’re working on is getting you closer to your goal or further away. The answer is not to buckle down and muscle through. You don’t need more motivation, you need clarity. Stop what you’re doing and listen to this episode to find what you want and what you should make next.

Pizza I’m starting to see a new pattern in creative breakthrough. We all know you gotta put in the time to learn your craft, but what’s the gap between being technically proficient and really truly finding yourself creatively? I think the secret is finding yourself personally. Today on the show we have designer and lettering artist Cymone Wilder. I wanted to have Cymone on the show not only because her work is fantastic, but also because as I started to see her work pop up everywhere, I also noticed that it was on the back of a personal journey. I wanted to see what the catalyst of this journey really was for Cymone and her answers did not disappoint!! This episode is a moving personal story mixed with talking shop and creative mechanics that I’m sure will bring a lot of pep to your step!

Pizza We often use clout oriented and achievement focused goals to boost our motivation at the start of a new year, but have you ever felt uninspired by the pursuit of stroking the ego? Freud said the driving force of man is pleasure - but neurologist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl disagreed. Frankl said man is driven by meaning. When the future is as unpredictable as it has been recently, we must dig for deeper, more long lasting fuel for our creative motivation. In this episode I want to encourage a mindset shift that can lead to insight into the heart of your work, as well as act as a creative prompt to unlock your latent creative potency!

Is it your experience? Best Selling author William Deresiewicz decided to try and answer this question by interviewing hundreds of artists (spoiler: I was one of them!) and diving deep into research. All of his remarkable findings are in his new book “The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech”. In this episode we dive deep into this work and tease out the pitfalls to watch out for, as well as areas where it’s smart to invest yourself as a modern creative. This book and this interview is a gift to creatives and I hope you find it as cathartic and validating as I did.

I spent the start of my career like an archer with a blindfold, afraid to look and see if I’d hit a bullseye, or even missed the target completely. I would try anything I could to avoid getting feedback on my creative work, but these days, finding the right kind of feedback is the LIFEBLOOD of my practice. What changed? I saw that having a robust relationship to feedback was the key to unlocking transcendent creative work and that started to mean more to me that protecting my vulnerabilities. In this episode I want to share a 4 step process for building feedback into your practice in a way that will help your creative work resonate on a much deeper level.

Trying to play without touching the ball with your hands? It’d be ridiculous! Actually impossible! And yet, in your creativity, you let other people’s creative rules and values make you feel disqualified all the time. You’ve heard it before “the only rule in creativity is that there are no rules”, so why do we constantly feel like imposters who are “doing it wrong”? I have a hypothesis: Because we don’t realize that creativity means very different things to each and every artist. We all define and value creativity extremely differently, but I don’t think we realize this. In this episode I want to help you figure out what creativity is about for you. When you start to figure out why YOU love creative work, you can let go of what OTHERS think it’s about and thrive in your own way. This episode is one of my favorites we’ve ever made and I think you’re gonna love it!!! This is part 3 of our 4 Part Creative Elixir Series.

In this episode, I chat with co-loop artist Adé Hogue about how he’s feeling as a black artist in these trying times, and we also talk shop about his creative practice as well. This was a deeply moving conversation and I’m super grateful to Adé for making the time last minute, but creatively, it was super inspiring as well.

If you’re like me, this question can be crippling! Often if I have 10 hours of creative time in a week, I’ll spend 9 hours trying to figure out what to make, and an hour making something halfheartedly, distracted by this question: did I choose the right thing? Is this what I should be making? That’s why over the past decade I’ve developed a framework for re-centering and refocusing myself as a creative. This framework is a pattern I witnessed and decoded from the careers of creatives that inspire me most. This episode will help you make progress in finding out who you are as an artist, determine what you really want and therefore ultimately decide where to invest your creative energies TODAY!

In this episode we cover: - The Pros and Cons of living in the big city as an artist - Where our most powerful creativity is hiding within us - FLOSSING - FLOSSING - AND... MORE FLOSSING!! HAHA TRIGGER WARNING: Fran very graciously shares her experience of growing up with a physically abusive father, so if there's trauma around that subject for you be aware we go into that with a significant amount of detail.

Today on the show we have hilarious comedian Johnny Pemberton! You may know Johnny as Bo from the NBC comedy Superstore or the voice of Peanut from the Disney XD show Pickle and Peanut. Beyond his extensive IMDB credits, Johnny has a phenomenal (and super ridiculous) podcast called “Live to Tape”. From Tim Meadows to Duncan Trussell to Johnny’s Mom to ME, “Live to Tape” has a deep back catalog of conversations with super interesting characters. I find myself referencing the ideas from this episode ALL THE TIME. You’re gonna love this episode and JOHNNY! GET IN THERE! Andy J.

That huge secret drop moment is so sexy we all fantasize about replicating this moment in our own creative work. But the problem is if no one cared about your 'first film' no one's gonna be stoked about your super top secret trailer for movie 2 when you drop it. So... If an album drops on the internet and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? NO. It doesn't. That's why you need to quit sitting on your creative ideas. Perfecting that piece in the dark isn't going to make that album or book drop more successful if no one is watching. In this episode I want to detail a process where you create at the same time you're learning and at the same time you're marketing and gaining attention for your work.

Put in the time and you’ll become a master. But how many technically-masterful creative hometown heroes do you know that never even got close to making it? Yes. They can shred the guitar like Hendrix. They can draw photorealistic portraits. They can write with perfect grammar and command a vast vocabulary. They’ve put in their 10,000 hours... And technically their craft is perfect... But the art isn’t “good”. So if it’s not about practice, passion, talent or skill, what’s the real foundation of great creative work? What’s it actually all about? I believe the secret is hiding in plain sight, right under your nose and quite literally at the tip of your tongue but if you don’t know where to look for it you’ll never find it!

Pizza Business planning is the easy part, now here comes the hard part: actually making the work! But it's supposed to be the fun part. How did we forget this? When you try to make creativity your work it can kind of feel like trying to force yourself to have fun. Nothing is less fun than TRYING to have fun. Fun is something that just happens... or does it?! Your best creative work will come from that joyous flow state of play and it's hard to find it under the weight of trying to also earn a paycheck. Is it really possible to be both be great at strategic business AND creative play? I'll be honest, it hasn't always been easy for me, but over the years I've found tricks and hacks that help me find my best creative state, under the pressure of big payoffs or tight deadlines!

Pizza This two part conversation with my friend Suzy Ultman is sure to go down as one of our all time favorites in the Creative Pep Talk Podcast Hall of Fame! It's no secret that I've been stressed out as of late, and that's part of the reason I reached out to my friend Suzy to be on the show. Suzy has this peaceful / intentional quality about her, and I invited over to the studio to share her mental health secrets with us! Not only is Suzy just a great person to be around, she has the double whammy of being an INCREDIBLY INSPIRING illustrator, story teller & product designer. Suzy's toys and books are so gorgeous that my wife and I have sprinkled them throughout our home and given them as gifts to our kids (and our kid's friends) on many occasions! In this episode we have a long conversation about Suzy's methods for staying sane as an artist, her sister's passing from cancer, the right mindset to approach inspiration and much much more!

We have such high hopes for all the changes we're going to make, but most often our hopes are crushed by someone who's very hard to defeat: OURSELVES! YES. The OLD YOU you want to leave behind is the number 1 thing standing in the way of the NEW YOU you'd like to become and if you try to repress this OLD YOU it just seems to get stronger! So I guess we should all just give up right? NO! You have so much untapped potential and there are a few principles that will help you unleash your BEST SELF from the confines of your OLD SELF. In this episode I want to share what's helped me become a better version of myself and ultimately become the type of person that can build and wield a thriving creative career!

Pizza The most important part of business is sales and the number 1 rule in sales is this: BELIEVE IN YOUR PRODUCT! You see, if you TRULY believe in your product and believe it will enrich the lives of your customers, you'll see marketing as a public service. If you have something that will really make people's lives better, you owe it to them to spread the word! This is even more true in creative careers and creative business! You owe it to your potential true fans to get your work in front of them!

But the truth is that nothing is ever "just the way it is", it's the way people before you decided it would be.

Pizza Finding your creative gift is the most important (and difficult) pursuit in your creative career, and in this episode, I will share all the clues that have helped me make progress on this journey. From podcast interviews to speaking at conferences, I am very fortunate to get to meet a lot of phenomenal creative professionals. For the longest time, the central question for me has been this: what do the best of the best have in common? Over time, a pattern emerged: while there are an infinite amount of creative gifts, the people who know truly know what there gift really is are the ones that rise and stay at the top. And yet, most of the artists I meet seem petrified to ask themselves "what is my gift?" Maybe it's because we're afraid that we don't really have a gift? Maybe we're afraid because our gift is different than what we've spent years pretending it is? Whatever your fear of facing this deeply important question is, it's my hope that today's episode will give you the tools you need to have a breakthrough on this journey!

Pizza The relationship between art and money is a real tricky one. One of the the biggest challenges stems from the fact that involving money into the equation puts pressure on your creativity. This is a major issue because, neurologically speaking, your best creative work comes from a place of play... AKA the opposite of pressure. This means those of us that get paid to be creative for a living face a unique battle: how do we stay loose when the pressure's on? How do we consistently execute at our best, when trying TOO HARD gets worse results? In this episode I share 17 tricks that really help me unlock my best work, even when the pressure is on.

To be a pro creative you've got to work hard and be a professional, but playing that part can sometimes lead to ignoring your needs and emotions. There's a secret I know about most creative people. They can look all cool and collected and pro when they need to, but behind that cool facade there is often a volcano of emotions. I know the truth about you... you're emo. You may not listen to My Chemical Romance (anymore) but you still struggle with nerves, insecurities, emotional exhaustion, self doubt, etc. You can't just stuff all these feelings in the pursuit of being a professional, and here's why: this sensitivity isn't just a curse, it's your gift. This sensitivity to the human experience is one of your key superpowers!! In many ways, it's the secret to being a creative person! And that means you need to take care of it and even nurture it. In this episode I want to share ideas and tactics that have helped me get into the right mental and emotional state to achieve what I think is my best creative work!

I think we all have a deep sense that EVERYTHING is broken right now and because of that we are deconstructing EVERYTHING!! For this reason, this year's 99u conference theme of "Challenging Everything" felt VERY APPROPRIATE to me. In this episode I want to share the breakthroughs I had while at 99u this past month and how they've impacted my outlook in my day to day creative career and my big picture perspective as a person. In this episode we will talk about the power of writing your own rules, how admitting you don't know everything is the first step of breaking new ground and unlock the secrets of the cosmos!!! haha... not really... but kinda ;) ... This week's show is a very special edition of Creative Pep Talk because it was made in partnership with Adobe!

Pizza Do you ever feel like you're hiding behind the subjectivity of art? Like the fact that creativity is subjective, means no one can tell you you're bad or good. Right? I would say: wrong! Take the very creative world of food for example. Like what's good food and bad food might be up for debate to a degree, but ultimately undercooked poultry can objectively kill you! That is undoubtedly "bad food". I believe that in the world of professional creativity, value is more objective than you think and in this episode I explain why this is great news!

Like if you don't have a bonkers amount of followers on social media than you're creativity just doesn't really matter? In this episode I want to argue the opposite.

Pizza There are a million reasons we like to bury our heads in the sand and just get lost in our art, but if you want your creative business to consistently thrive for the long haul, we need to stay tuned to the culture, where our audience’s attention is and what people are responding to in our work. Can you imagine any business completely ignoring their audience / the market and succeeding long term? Can you imagine a stock broker that didn’t follow the stock market? I believe that creative professionals are partially called to be like stock brokers in the stock exchange, but instead dealing in the currency of culture exchange. Ryan Holiday calls this ‘Product Market Fit’ in his book Growth Hacker Marketing, and in this episode we do a deep dive into WHY ignorance about your industry and culture in general is a terrible strategy and how to stay-tuned-in in such a way that you develop and evolve with your audience.

Pizza I don’t know how to tell you this without just telling you: this episode contains personal stories of emotional / mental health struggles from my past that I’ve never publicly shared before. It wasn’t easy to record, but I believe I have an opportunity to open up and shed some light on some dark areas that I assume many in our community have struggled with. “Creative professional” can feel a bit like an oxymoron sometimes. Most creatives I know can be pro and act the part on the surface, but still remain the very squishy emotional artist underneath. Because of this, we often hide our struggles behind professionalism and positivity. In this episode, I want to give you some tools for grappling with obstacles and setbacks in totally new ways. Also, I’d like to pull behind the curtain a bit and share my own past struggles. It’s my hope that by sharing my story of emotional ups and downs that you will feel encouraged and less alone.

This can be anxiety inducing when it comes to your creative career. Whether you’re just getting started or completely established, knowing the rules, trends and opportunities WILL change at some point in the future can be very scary. This means that nothing is more important than mastering the art of the breakthrough. As things change, if you’re able to continually break into new markets, you will always be able to grow with the times. In this episode, we talk about a solution for staying ahead of these changes, and it doesn’t involve being afraid all the time.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In my experience, personal brand can be an outpouring of real inner work and self discovery if you approach it the right way. It’s no secret that ‘personal brand’ is a game changer for your creative success, but if you, like me, find the notion of personal brand to seem shallow, I challenge you to listen to this episode and see that this journey can be quite the opposite! Plus this episode is completely based on big chain pizza restaurant slogans… so you know it’s gonna be good. May your personal brand journey be as deep as a Chicago deep dish pizza pie!

What does it take? What better way to find out than to chat with someone (or in this case someones) who has actually done it? The design duo (now full studio) The Heads of State have had many lives. These guys cut their teeth in the early 2000s gig poster scene, transitioned to illustrators for the likes of The New York Times and now take on larger design projects as a full on design studio. In this interview I really wanted to pick their brains and find out what was it about them that enabled them to stay relevant over the past 15 years? And how do you navigate large transitions in your career? http://theheadsofstate.com/ https://www.instagram.com/theheadsofstate/ ---- Thanks to Yoni Wolf and the band WHY? for our theme music.
