• 501 - How To Create Gentle Habits with Sophie Yanow

  How do you develop discipline as an artist? Can you hack your behavior and form creative habits? What tips or tricks could help you to create more often AND more confidently? In this episode I'm joined by Eisner Award winning cartoonist Sophie Yanow. Sophie has so much insight on this topic and found great value in creating what she calls a 'Gentle Comics Habit'. We talk starting, stacking and bundling habits and what it all achieved. Discuss this episode, share creative wins and obstacles at our next monthly meetup!

• 500 - 5 Steps from ADHD Serial Quitter to Podcaster with 500 Episodes

  Discuss this episode, share creative wins and obstacles at our next monthly meetup! Join this month’s Creative Pep Rally by supporting the show on Substack or Patreon: andyjpizza.substack.com https://www.patreon.com/c/creativepeptalk If you’re like me, you have more trouble with following through with ideas than you do coming up with new ideas. I am a serial quitter. I have ADHD and I am often working on 5 things at once. BUT. In this episode I want to share 5 things that have helped me stay consistent long enough to make 500 episodes of the same podcast, publish over 10 books and work with clients like X-Box, Nickelodeon and Apple over the past 15 years. This episode ends with a CALL TO ADVENTURE called “MAKE SUM-THING OF YOURSELF”. This action is something you can do in an instant, that in my experience INSTANTLY increases your ability to follow through and achieve what you set out to achieve.
