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. Hey everybody it's it's the Creative Pep Talk

podcast and this is me the host of the show, Andy J Miller.

You know, I've had some pretty reaffirming comments

on this podcast so far. People have been really supportive

and have joined the conversations

and I really appreciate that. I think that definitely encourages me to keep it up.

So yeah, thanks for doing that. You guys and thanks for listening. I really appreciate it. I feel like

I'm excited to see how this thing grows

I kind of want to do this in a real organic way where I don't know it just kind of grows over time and as as

and try different things but I mainly just want to figure out how do I make it the most

effective resource I possibly can

for my creative friends out there who need Pep Talks. You know, I feel like my biggest concern for creative people is that they would find their thing and I describe that as the thing that you do, the natural talent you have, the skills that you've acquired,

the thing that you're the Michael Jordan at that you find the game that you should be playing.

Maybe you're playing baseball and you're Michael Jordan, you need to be playing basketball.

You know, that kind of thing.
