Introduction
Saul Blinkoff is more than what meets the eye. Not only is he an incredible storyteller who animated the world’s most-loved characters – Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Tarzan… He’s also one of the most uplifting and inspiring humans I’ve had on the show because of his “Life of Awesome” philosophy. In this episode, Saul discusses the importance of failure and discomfort for success, how he’s turned his weaknesses into strengths, his personal measurement of success and he guides listeners on how to find meaning in life. If you’re feeling stuck and don’t know where to turn to next, tune in to this episode – I guarantee it will light a fire inside you!
