How Suzanne Paul Went Bankrupt After Infomercial Fame - Resiliency, Sales Advice & More!

Suzanne Paul is maybe one of the most recognizable voices and faces in NZ- the Infomercial queen.
This is a story of perseverance and determination from a woman who has experienced huge highs and unimaginable lows.
From selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door to starring on TV, to overcoming dyslexia and bankruptcy. Every part of her story emphasizes the importance of persistence, optimism and CHOOSING to have a positive outlook regardless of the situation.
We cover it all here:
The infomercials. The insane success. The TV career. The bankruptcy. The blue monkey song. Winning DWTS. Her IVF journey. Her marriages. Rapping with Scribe. Stand up comedy and much more.

I can’t speak highly enough about their protein powders.
If you think protein shakes are just for gym junkies, think again. Most of us don’t get enough protein, and a shake with a scoop of protein powder is the best way to fix that.
It’s also great if your goal is to manage your weight- it fills you up without heaps of dead calories.
Check them out. I love the coconut and banana…but all the Radix flavors kick ass.

    This is a great interview. I was also bankrupted in NZ in 2017 at 50. I can relate to that. Its a tragedy that our NZ insolvency laws cause so much trauma and hardships, on top of being in debt. It really needs to change. No public laws should ever be allowed to cause suffering and force people to have to sell their homes when they have nowhere to go. Insolvency laws are corrupt in NZ. And the money that the insolvency office collects from selling possessions does not all go to creditors.

    Yes I was thinking ADHD only because I have & relate to similar behaviour & thinking etc I think Suzanne looks amazing 😍 I'd never guess her at being even close to late 60s . mid to late 50s. More so. She's a battler & I'm proud of her perseverance. She's an inspiration to me 💪💎
