- 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 was an awesome listen! Suzanne Paul was such a loved figure (still is)
Just hearing her voice takes me straight back to having a day off school to stay home sick❤
Too much Aunty Suzie
They need to make a movie about this women's life - so many valuable lessons in her story.
What an awesome interview by Dom Harvey with the most amazing woman, Suzanne Paul, my beautiful wife. So proud of her. ❤️
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.
Really enjoyed this, thank you Suzanne Paul what a lovely lady you are. I have dyslexia and your problem with numbers I can understand. School was very hard and people can be so mean. Thanks again
She’s a Diamond, she really does sparkle and shine. Great interview.
An incredible lady with such a great attitude to life. We can all learn so much from her journey.
I’m so glad rupaul gave her, her flowers she’s been a pillar in the community of nz drag I love her, me and my cousin would pretend to do the vibrating cushion commercial and the scarf pin commercial with tea towels haha
Susanne you are a legend. Love your outlook in life, great advice.❤
great convo...aunty to the nation
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 💪💎
Great chat and story , thanks fo the wisdom !
What an awesome interview. Well done Suzanne. Much respect and admiration for you from a fellow Coastie.
This is a great interview. It's a funny thing, that sometimes you randomly think 'I wonder whatever happened to .......' I did that a couple of weeks ago about Suzanne Paul, so I was rapt when this video popped up. When I lived in NZ I loved watching her on the' Telly'. She is a wonderful inspiration to many. I love her tenacity. Great advice at the end about stepping out. Thanks Suzanne.
What an amazing woman. I came across this podcast by fluke. The best podcast I have ever listened to and I've listened to a few podcasts, believe me!
(4)❤❤Thank you for such a beautiful video.so many valuable lessons in her story.☘☘
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, amazing lady. Love her positive attitude to EVERYTHING ❤
But wait theres more
I remember when I first moved to NZ in 1990 seeing her on the telly. Now living back in UK and really glad to be back home.
This was awesome and very insightful...what a fighter of a women.
People in New Zealand may think the first 10 minutes are strange, but a lot of schools in New Zealand were just the same. But who didn't love the Blue Monkey
Loved this podcast, she has a lot of lessons for us to learn
That Maori cultural centre is still a great idea Suzanne, partner with the right mana whenua and do it the right way with the right people, what a legacy you'd leave behind with that.
Her strength,courage and resilience is an inspiration - bravo Suzanne .
Bro aunty sue is a straight up hustler so remember her and that magical voice egging me on to buy something I didn't need 😂 and then watching her and "Anthony" on that tv dinner show, respect Suzanne big lovez mate.
A fabulous interview everyone will gain from this talk thanks very much inspirational
yes I can't do maths. I didn't even pass basic maths. I know now school wasn't for me. Understand homeschooling now. Hate numbers too. Statens are not good to take though sadly. Take care Suzanne. What a true and honest interview. What a trooper.
Enjoyed ❤ very inspirational
Keep your dreams alive
The Maori cultural centre sounds great...
A great programme I can see you doing is
This is your Life...❤❤

No body is coming to save you. Great advice.
Really loved listening to this one!
what a nice woman. she gave it a go in life . can’t take that from her . when we lose in life we gain another beginnings adversity builds courage and strength and humanity
That was interesting. Suzanne Paul was the voice I loved to hate. Bloody Natchrool Glow!
I left NZ while she was still going strong and never heard she went bust and all the rest of it. Wondered where she got to.
Glad to hear she's back on her feet doing ok.
Life is full of crazy twists and turns. Pays to not get too attached to your possessions or positions and just take it as it comes.
Gotta love this woman. Sparkle and shine!
A very enjoyable interview ✅
Susanne, I am so thrilled for you and proud of you. Eternal fan. Phil
I second that a NZ film on this would be awesome
Suzanne deserves a holiday. What a fighter.
Very inspirational SP💙
Awesome ❤
Hey Dom did you know they've invented something called 'shoes'! You should buy some and wear them!!! Or are you reliving your kindergarten days rocking bare feet!? haha
😂😂😂 definitely not the first comment like this- noted
@@domharveynz awesome podcast(s) cheerz 😊
I respect her way more after watching this, mind you most podcasts do that.
happy happy joy joy, sparkle & shine ✨❤
Really like her personality
This is much better than the coked out headhunter inforcer who took my mates car
hearing her voice is like finger nails scrapping over a black board
Wish I had enough money to last rest of life. Trying to not buy hardly anything now. Just basic healthy food from farm shops.
Sweet lady.
