April 09, 2019 226 - Beating Over Analysis, Leap into Full Time, Harsh Critics, Self Care and MORE
It is one of our fan favorite Ask Dr. Pizza Episodes!!
In this episode my studio mate Chris Graham asks me questions you sent in to the show.
We cover a range of topics including:

This feels like a really fresh take on this format for our show, and I have a feeling it's gonna hit you with some very TIMELY stuff!

March 26, 2019 224 - How to Get Into Your Flow State (PT 3 of Call the Midwife Series)
Business planning is the easy part, now here comes the hard part: actually making the work! But it's supposed to be the fun part. How did we forget this?
When you try to make creativity your work it can kind of feel like trying to force yourself to have fun. Nothing is less fun than TRYING to have fun. Fun is something that just happens... or does it?!
Your best creative work will come from that joyous flow state of play and it's hard to find it under the weight of trying to also earn a paycheck.
Is it really possible to be both be great at strategic business AND creative play?
I'll be honest, it hasn't always been easy for me, but over the years I've found tricks and hacks that help me find my best creative state, under the pressure of big payoffs or tight deadlines!
In this episode you will learn:
- how to get your brain in it's most creative state
- why and how to get your idea OUT NOW
- the tactic that has unlocked my best work as of late!
This the CALL THE MIDWIFE... DR. PIZZA SERIES FINALE!!!

March 19, 2019 223 - The Strategy I Used to Crush My 2018 Goal in 12 Weeks (Call the Midwife Series Pt 2)
For years my goal setting strategy was less like a business tactic and more like a time capsule. I'd write my goals on my phone and then forget about them until a year later when I was making new ones.
Upon seeing the previous years goals my reaction was "Oh yeah, I forgot I even wanted to do that... well that didn't happen..."
LAST YEAR THOUGH this changed! I took a different approach to goal setting and action planning that caused my yearlong goal to be accomplished in less than 12 weeks!
Tune in this week if you want to:
- Get clarity on what you really want
- Tactics for planning a strategic game plan
- An idea that may help you know if it's time to take a leap!
This is PART TWO of our CALL THE MIDWIFE... DR. PIZZA series!!

March 12, 2019 222 - How to GET SUPER PUMPED by Unearthing Your True Desire (Call the Midwife Series Pt 1)
Does your story feel stuck?
If you're feeling stuck it may be because you quit letting yourself dream. It may be because you're not really sure what your dream even is.
Stories only start because the main character wants something. It moves the plot forward, it calls the hero to action, it pushes them through conflict and obstacles.
And yet we often walk around day to day without any clear sense of desire. No wonder we feel apathetic and crushed by even the smallest things!
In this episode we talk about the power of tapping into your best truest desires and HOW to unearth them! These tactics switched on my creative fuel in a whole new way!
This is PART ONE of our CALL THE MIDWIFE... DR. PIZZA series!!
