Saul Blinkoff didn’t just dream of Disney — he drew his way there. In this episode, the Hollywood animator, director, and life coach reveals how he turned rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt into a launchpad for creative success. From humble beginnings with no industry connections to working on Disney classics like Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tarzan, Saul shares the mindsets and habits that helped him go from aspiring artist to animation powerhouse.
You’ll hear why turning weakness into strength is the real “secret sauce,” how to develop a resilience mindset that lasts, and why living inspired is so much more powerful than just being inspired. Whether you’re chasing a creative dream or just trying to get through a tough week, Saul’s story will make you want to grab a pencil — or a pen — and start writing your own comeback.
