Hey y'all just a quick heads up the episode you're about to listen to is 8 to 10 years old

now these episodes were intended to be evergreen and I still believe there's a lot of good

information in these early episodes, but I do want to let you know that some of my ideas have evolved

over time. Times have changed since we made these episodes and ultimately I'd like to think I've grown

a lot as an artist and a human and that these don't necessarily represent my best work or the best of the podcast.

If you're new around here, I suggest starting with the most recent episode or

at least go back to around 300 and move forward from there.

Enjoy the episode.

Hello, this is Andy J Miller and you are listening to the Creative Pep Talk

podcast. Hey, well okay, here we go. It's episode three. Now, I'm really loving this format. I feel like my ridiculousness and my all over the place kind of way of doing things. It just

it feels right on this format and I like to do something fast, something quick, something direct, and something where I can just really be passionate.

Because I think sometimes in my writing, I can't quite convey how passionate I am about helping people find

their thing in creative professional pursuits.

So all right so so we talked about strengths last episode. The episode before that, we talked about hustling.

This episode is about pain.

Nobody hates pain more than me.

I'm such an emotional guy.

I'm just ridiculous, you know I I'm so I'm so emotional that I'm highly

compassionate when someone close to me is sick I feel sick I'm so emotional about it.

And there's nothing I hate more than pain or seeing someone in pain.

I just absolutely hate it.

I'm just kind of weak in that way.
