0:10.9	Sometimes you just need a creative pep talk.
0:27.1	Hey, you're listening to Creative Pep Talk, a weekly podcast companion for your creative journey.
0:28.7	I'm your host, Andy J. Pizza.
0:31.6	I'm a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator.
0:37.7	And this show is just everything I'm learning about building and maintaining a thriving creative practice.
0:38.8	Let's get into it.
1:07.2	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.

2:37.2	If you want to listen in, just search, attach your resume wherever you listen to podcasts.
2:42.3	I highly recommend it.
