Awaken Your Awesome: The UNLEASHED26 Keynote, Revealed

Hollywood producer. Disney. DreamWorks. Netflix. And this October, he’s bringing his message to UNLEASHED26.

Saul Blinkoff has spent his career telling stories that move millions — and traveling the world teaching people the tools of clarity, resilience, and discipline behind that kind of work. Now he’s bringing them to the UNLEASHED26 stage. So why an animator at a dealer conference? Because the thing that separates a good rep from a great one isn’t a new script or a better tool. It’s belief. And belief is exactly what Saul has spent his life awakening in people.

Saul Blinkoff is a Hollywood filmmaker and globally sought-after keynote speaker whose credits include Disney, DreamWorks and Netflix. He inspires audiences, from Fortune 500 companies to global conferences, to become the heroes of their own story.

With contagious energy and cinematic storytelling, Saul reveals the mindset behind world-class achievement, teaching how to transform obstacles into opportunities, cultivate resilience and disciplined growth, and unlock creativity to pursue purpose-driven success. Sharing his journey from an unlikely kid with a Disney dream to a life rooted in faith, family and fearless action, Saul leaves audiences energized, deeply moved and awakened to the truth that they were meant to live a Life of Awesome!

Selling cars is a belief business. The best tool in the world doesn’t move if the person holding it doesn’t believe it will. When margins compress and cars are hard to source, teams get in their heads. They stop prospecting. They stop asking. And that’s not a feel-good problem, it’s a sourcing and acquisition problem.

The rep who believes they’ll land the trade asks for it. The one who doesn’t hesitates, and the customer feels it. Saul’s whole message is transforming that fear into action. Belief in your dealership, your purpose, and yourself isn’t soft. On this floor, it’s the difference between a team that resets after a bad month and one that spirals.

This October, Saul Blinkoff isn’t just delivering a keynote, he’s bringing an experience designed to challenge the way you think about leadership, growth, and what’s possible.

His keynote, Awaken Your Awesome!, is a high-energy session that combines powerful storytelling, practical leadership lessons, and insights from his career at Disney. Through personal experience and unforgettable stories, Saul will help attendees move beyond self-doubt, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop the confidence to take meaningful action. You’ll leave inspired and equipped with practical strategies you can apply immediately in your dealership, your career, and your everyday life.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Align personal and professional goals with purpose and lasting impact.
• Turn fear, setbacks, and uncertainty into opportunities for growth.
• Build the mindset and confidence needed to take courageous action long after the conference ends.

But the experience doesn’t stop there. He’ll also lead an interactive workshop, Belief Into Breakthrough!, where attendees will participate in a hands-on, Disney-inspired drawing exercise that demonstrates how belief and trusting the process can unlock confidence and performance. What begins as uncertainty quickly transforms into confidence as participants discover firsthand how shifting their mindset can unlock creativity, collaboration, and performance.

Whether you’re looking to become a stronger leader, inspire your team, or simply rediscover what’s possible, Saul’s keynote and workshop promise to be among the most impactful experiences at UNLEASHED26.
