Tony Suriano – Keynote Speaker, Director, Actor, and Author of the Upcoming Book Direct Your Life Or Someone Else Will.
Tony is known for blending cinematic storytelling, contagious energy, and deep personal insight to help people break through barriers and step into their boldest selves.
From a shy teen growing up in Los Angeles to sharing the screen with his father and Joe Pesci in The Irishman, Tony’s journey is one of radical self-transformation. After years of hiding in the shadows—both emotionally and creatively—he reclaimed his voice through performance, filmmaking, and inner work. Now, he’s on a mission to help others do the same through his upcoming book (releasing 2026), his Direct Your Life™ keynote, and his signature Soul Cut™ Method.


From Behind the Camera to Leading the Room
Tony has directed more than 80 film and TV projects, acted in over 30 productions, and produced videos across the world—from NASA-affiliated rocket launches to indie sets in the Philippines, Canada, and French Guiana. But it’s on stage where his real magic shines.
As a high-energy speaker, Tony delivers transformational talks that merge Hollywood storytelling with personal growth strategies. His message helps audiences rewrite their inner scripts, build confidence, and take immediate, purposeful action. Whether he’s speaking to corporate teams, creative masterminds, or students, Tony brings humor, heart, and a director’s precision that turns inspiration into movement.





A Life in Motion
Tony has lived and worked in Asia, traveled the U.S. solo by motorcycle, and once performed twelve stage magic shows in four days—while battling the flu (true story). A magician, former semi-pro skateboarder, unicyclist, and Rubik’s Cube solver (26 seconds), he believes creativity isn’t just about expression—it’s about resilience, curiosity, and crafting a life worth watching.
He’s also the host of the Direct Your Life podcast, where he shares mindset shifts, resilience tools, and stories from his wildest adventures and toughest lessons. His teachings draw from years of studying with personal-development leaders like Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Dean Graziosi, and Tim Ferriss—and applying those lessons in the real world.
When he’s not on stage or set, Tony splits his time between Los Angeles and Cincinnati with his wife, Karen. He loves nature, humor, and deep conversations—and will absolutely stop mid-walk to explain why a leaf on the sidewalk just changed his perspective.
