A Weekly Podcast Companion for Your Creative Journey

Transform your creative potential into reality by making your creativity a practice. A “creative discipline” can feel like an oxymoron. Creativity is about doing something new. Discipline is about doing something consistently. The aim of this podcast is to help you strike that elusive balance.

Each week, New York Times Bestselling Author Illustrator Andy J. Pizza shares everything he’s learning about building a thriving creative practice. Through solo episodes and interviews with top-tier creatives, Pizza brings you the strategies and stories that you need week in and week out to keep your inner critic at bay, bust through creative blocks and stay creatively pepped to the max!!

  1. The Discipline of Creative Magic with Bestselling Author Kate DiCamillo

    Show notes

    Looking for something to put you in the creative spirit headspace?

    This episode is it!

    Have you lost the magic in your creative practice?

    #1 Bestselling Author Kate DiCamillo is both one of the most magical creatives I have ever spoke with and one of the most regimented, and somehow, these two things actually work together!

    I was enamored with Kate’s creative perspective and spirit.

    So grateful for this chance to speak with the human behind beloved books like “Because of Winn-Dixie”, “The Tale of Despereaux”, “Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and many others!

    Do you feel like your work is very you-ish?

    How do you make creative work that really feels authentic?

    What does that even mean!?

    Today’s episode is a deep dive conversation and we cover a lot of topics around making authentic work.

    We talk about:

    How to strip away the ego and throw off trying to be cool.

    Why instagram being kind of over for artists might be a good thing.

    Why doing your thing often starts with being part of something bigger than yourself.

    Why art and collaboration is a fight and why that’s a good thing

    And we touch a bit on ai and why it doesn't matter what it can and cannot do!

    Some other ai thoughts I haven’t heard anywhere else!

    This is a different type of episode, this time I am being interviewed, on the captain offscript podcast, and I had so much fun that I had to share it with all of you here! Hope you love it.
