How to Animate Your Destiny - Saul Blinkoff

Animator and director Saul Blinkoff ("Doc McStuffins", "Mulan", "Pocahontas") always wanted a job in animation and films. But first, he had to figure out the equation that would lead him to that destination - because simply "wishing upon a star" wasn’t enough. What steps did he take on the path towards his dream? How did he overcome obstacles to improve his skills and exceed expectations? Saul also shares why we need healthy competition, why it’s important to wear many hats in your industry, and how the movie "Rudy" changed his life when he thought his dream was dead. - Listen to Saul's podcast Life of Awesome! https://www.lifeofawesome.com/ - Thanks so much to Audible for supporting our podcast!
