Creative Elements — a great companion on an entrepreneurial journey
The emerging creator ecosystem holds great promise for those restless souls who are driven to create value in the world — often with no capital other than their own ideas and technology. Creative Elements does a great job of covering the developments in this space. Jay's guests are relentless thinkers and doers, and learning their entrepreneurial insights, tools, and strategies is very valuable. In fact, on more than one occasion I listened to an episode twice — and was taking notes!

Creators, this is a must-listen
Jay is a top tier interviewer and extracts unbelievable value from each conversation on the podcast. Each episode feels equal parts relaxing and mind-blowing—my brain gets into a full-speed creative state every time I listen. You’ll want to take notes and/or make bookmarks of episode parts to re-listen. That’s how good Creative Elements is. Jay deeply cares about the content he launches into the world and knows the creator economy inside out—this is a must-listen for creators.

Better produced than NPR’s How I Built This
Until this podcast, the most well produced podcast I had listened to was How I built This. Everyone knows that NPR is the expert at podcast.
But boy was i surprised to listen to this podcast! He does the usual things right - like getting great guests, asking good questions and regularly releasing a new episode.
But then there is so much more:
- the intro/outro music and the way he changes the speed of speech to match it
- the monologs he inserts every so often to keep the listener on track
- the newsletter he sends to summarise each new episode
It is incredible how one-person creator can do this with their podcast!

Highly recommend!
This is definitely my new favorite podcast! I enjoy the wide range of creators Jay interviews and his interview style just really grabs your attention.
I usually watch the podcast on YouTube but I’ve been binge listening to the pre-YouTube episodes in the car and the ideas and actionable takeaways from all episodes are amazing.
Highly recommend the podcast to any creator!

More and more, this is the first podcast I listen to.
I started listening to Creative Elements about three weeks ago, and I find myself clicking on a new episode before listening to anything else. It totally fits in with where I’m at on my personal creator journey. Love it!

If you’re a creator, you need to listen to this show
I discovered Jay’s show about 2 months ago, and I ended up binging every single episode over the course of about 6 weeks. As a new creator, the amount that I learned from each interview has helped me raise my creative game to the next level. Every single episode inspired me in some aspect of the work I’m doing.
Now, I can’t wait for new episodes every week. I don’t listen to many podcasts, but this is one that I make sure I subscribe to.

This man cares about his craft
Been listening to Jay for 18 months and he does not settle for good enough. From his guests to the questions he asks to his production, Jay goes the extra mile. He is a generous Creator who’s also a top notch podcaster.

Amazing, wonderful, thoughtful, all the good things
One of my favorite podcasts by far. The host asks thoughtful questions and you can tell he does a ton of research on the guests before they come on. The host asks the questions everyone is thinking.
Amazing podcast for any type of creator!

Absolutely phenomenal
There are two podcasts I listen to that I know I can press play on any episode and it will be fantastic. How I Built This and Creative Elements. The effort Jay puts in to find the most interesting guests, go DEEP into the research and pull out the most compelling and insightful story from each guest, sets this apart from anything else in the industry. Great work, Jay 🔥

Most Underrated Show Of The Year - You Need To Be Listening To This!
I found Jay’s podcast last week on YouTube and have been binge listening to episodes everyday since. There are few shows I actually subscribe to (I consume WAY too much content as a creator already) and I review even less.
I can say without a doubt you are missing out on some incredible insights if you over look this show!
If you want to see one of the best produced video podcasts go watch the episodes that are available on YouTube. You will be deeply enriched by spending time with Jay on Creative Elements.

Incredible value!
I heard about this podcast listening to Marketing Against the Grain and they recommended this one for creators.
I’m SO GLAD I did!! So much free advice for up and coming creators. I’ve learned so much about mindsets, brand deals, strategies, tactics and so much more. Thank you for the amazing work!

Phenomenal Podcast!
Jay’s style and commitment to make his show as engaging as possible really resonates well with me as a listener.

Simply the best.
For a long time, Creative elements has been my best podcast and the only one I would never miss. I still go back to listen to older episodes every now and then. Not to make this a fanboy review(which it is) as well as for the sake of clarity, here’s 3 main reasons why I love this podcast.
The storytelling - Jay’s ability to dive into the experiences of each guests, bring out the most crucial bits and tell a compelling story based off that is unmatched.
Signal vs noise - Most podcasts are at least 70% noise with some value for the audience sprinkled in between. Not this one. Every point is valuable and you can tell that if it wasn’t, it doesn’t make the cut.
The quality - Every one says this, but that doesn’t mean it’s been said enough. This podcast provides a rich listening experience with efficient audio quality/levels and sound design. And I love it when clips are brought in cleverly to provide more context.
Side note: this is one of the only podcasts I listen to where I look forward to hearing the ads. It’s less about sales and way more about value and it is always a useful product that you should try.
Every creator should absolutely take the time to listen to this podcast weekly. It never disappoints, and I’m super glad I can watch on Youtube now.

Interviewing 101 Masterclass
I just listened to Jay interview Justin Welsh and it was phenomenal. My background is in PR and l’ve done my fair share of interviews and Jay is a master. He asks the questions that viewers want to hear. I learned so much about Justin that l feel like l know him and trust him. In addition, the video version on YouTube is expertly done from editing to sound to graphics. This is a great podcast. Put it on your listening list now!

Best Podcast for Creatives / Creators
An incredible high-quality Podcast — not only because of the wonderful guests, but also because it’s so carefully produced (with audio snippets and commentary). Truly excellent!

Best creator content I know of
This is one of the only creator/business pods I can actually relate to. I always get takeaways that I can use on my projects - often from people I already follow on Twitter. It’s been a huge value add!

The amount of thought & effort
I started listening to Creative Elements due to big guests & Jay Acunzo.
But I stayed for the efforts he puts in.
Loved the episode with Dickie Bush, James Clear & Tim Urban.
