She began selling vibrating massage pillows in a Henderson mall. Now, nearly 35 years later, there would hardly be a person in New Zealand or Australia who hasn't heard Suzanne Paul's distinctive accent promoting the latest must-have gizmo. But Suzanne’s story is not just about sales and infomercials. Her rollercoaster personal life is just as compelling.

In this episode she talks about fighting her way out of poverty, her multiple marriages, the life lessons learned, and her incredible resilience in the face of adversity and hardship. Her energy and positivity are truly infectious - something many of us could do well to try and learn from.

Suzanne’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the determination it takes to succeed against the odds in a strange country halfway around the world. She embodies resilience, determination, positivity and the power of personality, and is one of the most remarkable people I have interviewed.
