This has been three years in the making for us, and we're just now at the point where we're like,

Hey, you're listening to the Creative Pep Talk podcast.

This show is about commercial art, making a good living and making great art.

I'm your host, Andy J. Pizza.

You can find my work and stay up to date with the show at Andy J. Pizza on Instagram. Let's get in.

I'm a believer in the idea of dressing for the job you want, not the job you have. And I have applied this to my creative practice too which means if you want professional results

you need to present online like a pro and that means going beyond social media and having a

professional website that reflects your style and looks legit. I rebuilt my site this year with

Squarespace's fluid engine and was so happy with how easily I could build my vision without coding that when they approached me to support the show, I jumped at the chance because I love and use this product.

So go check it out Squarespace.com slash pep talk to test it out for yourself.
