On the creative journey, it's easy to get lost, but don't worry, you'll lift up.

Sometimes you just need a creative pep talk.

Hey, you're listening to the Creative Pep Talk podcast. I'm your host, Andy J. Pizza.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are creatively wondering aimlessly?

Like you're just focused on all of the wrong things, while the stuff that you would really excel at and really feel at home in are actually passing you by and you're missing the opportunity?

How in the world do you find a direction as a creative person?

This is an incredibly difficult issue and I think with the way that the creative mind sees infinite possibilities.

You're never going to feel 100% like you're going the right way all the time, but today in this episode I want to share a way of approaching how to find the direction you should be heading right now that has helped me and that I've returned to over and over and over throughout the years of doing this creative practice.

This episode is part of our, it's part one of our creative summer school series.

This summer, I just felt like it was the right time to revisit some of the biggest ideas from the show that I returned to the most and also see how they can all kind of fit together sequentially.

And it's kind of one part mid year tune up and also some reflection before we go into the chaos of the fall. So if you are lacking creative direction or you feel uneasy about the way that you're currently going in the path you're on,

episode one of this series is designed to help you course correct and get back on the path. Let's go.
