What does it take to truly turn your biggest dreams into reality? Disney Animator tells all.
In this inspiring episode, I talk with the vibrant, compelling Saul Blinkoff—a Hollywood filmmaker, Disney animator, and motivational speaker—who shares his 20-year journey of unwavering perseverance and self-belief.
From his early days as a passionate artist to landing his dream job at Disney, Saul opens up about the challenges he faced, the power of persistence, and how embracing failures shaped his success.
We dive into the importance of self-definition, mentorship, and turning weaknesses into strengths, plus why joy is an internal choice—not something dependent on external achievements. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or felt like giving up, this episode is your reminder that YOU have the power to write your own story.
Saul had so many golden nuggets to share, we turned this into a 2-part series. Today’s episode is part 1. Feb 26 is part 2. Mark your calendars!
