Tony Suriano is the author of Direct Your Life or Someone Else Will (early 2026), a keynote speaker, creative coach, and filmmaker whose journey from petty crime and self-sabotage to sharing the stage with industry leaders — and the silver screen with Joe Pesci — proves that identity isn’t fixed…it’s edited.
He is the creator of the Soul Cut™ method — a breakthrough framework that helps people identify false scripts, edit limiting beliefs at the source, and call “action” on authentic power. Tony expands on this work in his new book, showing readers how to apply Soul Cut™ alongside his Direct Your Life™ philosophy, which bridges Hollywood storytelling with high-performance psychology. Together, they equip people to stop watching reruns of their past and start directing lives worth watching.
With over 80 directed projects and 30+ acting credits, including a standout role in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Tony brings a unique cinematic perspective to personal development. His work has taken him from NASA-affiliated rocket launches to indie films shot in the Philippines, Canada, and French Guiana. On stage, his keynotes have impacted hundreds of leaders and creatives, blending energy, humor, and practical tools to inspire immediate action.


Through his book, podcast, and coaching, Tony equips leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs with the tools to:
• Cut through F.U.D. (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) and make confident decisions
• Align identity with impact for authentic leadership
• Transform creative blocks into breakthrough momentum
• Build unshakable confidence through intentional daily practices
• Reconnect with their playful, curious inner nature for sustainable high performance





Tony loves adventure — he even mastered the unicycle and once rode it down a flight of stairs. A former semi-pro skateboarder, martial artist, and magician, he has also solved a Rubik’s Cube in 26 seconds and performed 18 stage magic shows in four days while deathly sick. His curiosity has taken him across America on a solo motorcycle trip, to nine months of living in Asia, and even into building (and demolishing) his own house in Malibu.
Tony currently lives bi-coastally between Los Angeles and Cincinnati with his wife, Karen, always chasing the next creative breakthrough — or the next reason to make someone smile.
