KEY TAKEAWAYS Andy is a prolific creator. His secret is not being afraid of imperfection. Bittersweet feelings and melancholy can be powerful creative fuel. Friction is part of the creative process. But recognise the difference between good and bad friction. Your personal work is your most powerful creative compass—trust it. Don't underestimate the importance of advocating for yourself in client work. Openness to experience is the bedrock of creativity – but respect your limits. Collaborating with a partner requires honouring different values and creative processes. BEST MOMENTS “ Advocating and talking about money is an essential part of a creative practice.” “There's real magic in our universe; it is so freaking weird. There's a hidden realm and I pulled at that thread.” “If creativity was a pie, it's a mud pie, it´s the dirt that makes it what it is. It is the struggle or the imperfection.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://andyjpizza.substack.com PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Hey Team! This week we've got a really fun episode, I'm talking with ANDY J. PIZZA - well that was weird… Let's try that again - ANDY J. PIZZA - All right, let's just go with it. Andy is a podcaster, illustrator, and creative thinker who's built a career by embracing the parts of himself that used to feel like liabilities. Andy's the host of Creative Pep Talk, and his Right Side Out podcast series dives into what happens when you stop trying to pass for neurotypical and start living a little more like yourself. Andy was diagnosed in his twenties, and his experience navigating masking, creative burnout, and late-in-life self-acceptance forms the core of what we're talking about today. In our conversation, we talk about the costs of masking, the weird middle ground between accommodation and authenticity, and the realization that sometimes we forget who we are because we've been trying so hard to be someone else. We also get into creative practice, novelty, and his favorite ADHD-friendly productivity hacks. And of course, we talk about what it means to live “right side out,” and what it really means to show up authentically. This was definitely one of my favorite episodes I've recorded so far this year, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Start Freedom today!

If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/221 YouTube Channel My Patreon This Episode's Top Tips Masking isn't inherently a bad thing, but it certainly is when we're doing it all the time and unconsciously. We want to be intentional about when and why we mask, and aim for authenticity when possible. It's okay to embrace opposing truths. We need structure and flexibility, goals and play. We don't have to fall into all-or-nothing thinking, and this can help us balance some of these ADHD “contradictions”. Celebrate difference, don't just tolerate it. Safe spaces are good, but celebration spaces—where your uniqueness is actively valued—are better. Look for relationships or communities where people enjoy your way of being, not just what you can do

Chances are, you're probably not taking enough shots.In this episode, we explore the importance of starting more and letting go of the pressure to finish everything. We discuss how embracing parallel creation and being unafraid to repeat ourselves can lead to brilliant work. We also hear from Becky Blades, Austin Kleon, Andy J. Pizza, and Ozan Varol about the significance of taking action on our ideas without being paralyzed by the fear of public perception.Key Insights:1. Overthinking can hinder creativity, so it's important to move from imagination to action swiftly.2. Embracing the process of starting multiple ideas can help identify the ones worth persevering for.3. Pay attention to the ideas that won't leave you alone, as they may be the keepers.4. Life is more of a jungle gym than a ladder; sometimes the road ahead only becomes clear as you take each step.5. Taking action on the ideas that resonate with you is crucial, as the world often lights the path ahead only a few steps at a time.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.app

How do you get the most out of your mind in the moment you need your mind the most?In this episode of Daily Creative, we delve into the power of the mind and how to maximize its potential in moments of creative need. Todd Henry is joined by guests Andy J. Pizza, Juliet Funt, Charan Ranganath, Dan Doyon, and Tiago Forte to explore the various strategies to leverage the subconscious for creative inspiration. The discussion touches on the concept of incubation, the interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind, the importance of a healthy mental diet, the impact of repetition on memory and idea recall, and the development of a "second brain" to store and organize ideas for easy access.Key learnings from this episode:1. Giving our minds space and time for incubation is crucial for inspiring creative insights.2. The subconscious mind requires a healthy mental diet of high-quality stimuli to fuel the creative process effectively.3. Repetition and organization of ideas through tools like the second brain method can help improve memory retention and idea recall.4. Diversifying sources of information and experiences can prevent the mind from becoming narrow in its range of memories and ideas.5. External systems like a second brain can lighten the cognitive load and provide easy access to a wealth of amassed ideas.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.app

Illustrator, graphic designer, speaker and picture book-maker Andy J. Pizza grew up in the Indiana suburbs, the child of two diametrically opposite parents - dad in corporate finance and mom an artist. Often feeling out of place, he learned to cope by drawing and smoking cigarettes, before finding indie music, and from there gig posters and graphic design. Now, he's a wildly successful illustrator and beloved podcaster who remains exceptionally honest, open, and real about the inner workings of being a neurodivergent creative.
