Susan Wrubel is the executive producer behind films such as Maggie's Plan (starring Julianne Moore, Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawk, Bill Hader, and Maya Rudolph) and Still Alice (also starring Julianne Moore, who took home the Oscar that year for the role, and Alec Baldwin). Susan is currently the executive director of Aspen Film, which organizes three annual film festivals, including the Oscar-qualifying Aspen Short Fest. What you will learn: Susan shares what her 4th year as an executive and artistic director for Aspen Film entails, and breaks down the details of the three film festivals they put on each year. She also discusses how they had to pivot quickly after the pandemic began to make their festivals “virtual.” [0:00-10:58] The importance of short films for audiences, actors, creators, and film in general. The sense of community fostered in the Aspen festivals and how inspiring it is to see the raw talent of thousands of filmmakers every years. [10:58-21:46] Susan weighs in on the fairness of having big name actors (like Will Ferrell) or directors (like Zach Woods) attached to independent film festival contenders when they are competing for limited slows with lesser known actors and filmmakers. The balance Aspen Film tries to create in selecting a diverse range of films, and what the selection process is like going from 3,000 submissions to 80 chosen films in the Short Fest. [21:46-26:45] Going back to the start of her career, Susan recounts how she steadily worked her way to the top, starting at a PR department in Manhattan, to moving print copies, then moving to LA to work for Paramount, then to London, until she eventually found her way back to LA working as a producer. [26:45-36:40] The relevance of the Alliance Film Series Aspen put on in 2018, and other films that deal with heavy, topical issues. The difference between a producer vs. an executive producer in the film industry. [36:40-42:52] How Susan's formal education did (and didn't) prepare her for work in the film industry and the skills that can really only be learned with experience. What Susan hopes film festivals will look like in 2022. [42:52-51:20] Why some shorts are difficult to find streaming online, and the logistics behind why Aspen can't put the films online, but resources where many can be found. The opportunities that accessible platforms like YouTube can provide. [51:20-56:50] Resources: Susan Wrubel's: LinkedIn, IMDb Aspen Film website

In today's episode of Women In Supply Chain, I'm joined by Susan Walsh: the self-confessed Mistress of Data who uses her expertise in spend data classification, supplier normalisation, and taxonomy customisation to help procurement and data teams across the industry to work more effectively. After working in sales and customer account management for big names like Philips and Colgate Palmolive, Susan discovered a passion, and talent, for data. And, having held management positions in various companies, she eventually decided to go it alone. Susan founded The Classification Guru in 2017 and now brings clarity and accuracy to data and procurement; helping teams work more effectively and efficiently by cleaning up their dirty data. Today Susan will be talking to us about her career so far, her passion for data, how the industry's approach to data has changed over the years; and she'll be sharing her words of advice for all of the up and coming women following in her footsteps.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [07.42] Susan's background, and the varied career history that led her to her passion. “I'm envious of those people who've always known what they wanted to do, because I've never known.” [16.49] The ups and downs of growing The Classification Guru over the last four years. [21.00] The role of digital marketing in Susan's success. “Work with what you're comfortable with… and don't do what you think other people want you to do or say or be – just be yourself.” [25.47] Why Susan's positive approach and free spirit was sometimes at odds with male-oriented work environments. “I've never felt, even growing up, that there wasn't anything I couldn't do, or that I was restricted because of who I am.” [29.28] The turning point in Susan's career that helped her find her voice. “When I found what I really loved, and I had the self-belief and self-confidence, then I felt ‘you can't take me down, I know I'm good.' ” [32.31] The pitfalls of managing data, and why you need to make sure data always has its COAT on. “There's a massive misconception that you can buy some off the shelf software that will fix all of your data problems and you don't have to do a thing… Automation can help to a point, but it would be naïve to think it can solve all your problems.” [38.50] What Susan has learned about herself over the course of her journey so far. [40.30] Susan's words of advice for the girls and women looking to follow in her footsteps.

What you’ll learn in this episode: How Art Jewelry Forum went from a small meetup of art jewelry enthusiasts to an international organization Why Susan wanted to focus her support on mid-career artists, and how she defines what a mid-career artist is What Susan hopes grant recipients and applicants will gain from the award How past winners have used the funds to advance their work About Susan Beech Susan Beech is an avid jewelry collector and longtime member of Art Jewelry Forum. Her extensive collection of art jewelry has been featured in several museum shows, and she was awarded the 2008 McColl Award for her work in expanding the permanent collection of the Mint Museum. She created the Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant in 2016 to provide mid-career artists with the resources to push the boundaries of their work and expand the field of art jewelry. After seeing her children reach middle age and struggle to balance their dreams with work and family life, jewelry collector Susan Beech realized that many jewelry artists face the same challenge. Although there are numerous grants for young, emerging artists, the is a gap in resources for mid-career artists who want to continue their work. This was the inspiration behind Art Jewelry Forum’s Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant, a $20,000 award given to one mid-career artist every other year. Susan joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about her hopes for grant recipients, why the award isn’t just limited to makers, and how the two past winners have already made an impact.

Thought leadership is one of those buzzwords that has been so overused, it has almost been rendered meaningless. But as Stephen Woessner and I preach to agency owners in our book, Sell with Authority, when done well for the right reasons, being an authority can drive significant revenue for your agency. Stephen’s agency, Predictive ROI, decided they wanted to quantify the value of thought leadership so they engaged Susan Baier (Audience Audit) to do some research to answer the question “is there an ROI to being a thought leader?” Creating unique, relevant content targeting a very narrow niche is time-consuming. Is there a payoff? How does it impact both new sales and retaining clients? Does it influence the sales cycle? How do people define what is and isn’t a true authority? In this episode of Build a Better Agency, Susan and Stephen join us to share the data that came out of the research and the implications that data has for us as agency owners, both as we think about our own biz dev but also how we advise clients about their own thought leadership efforts. A big thank you to our podcast’s presenting sponsor, White Label IQ. They’re an amazing resource for agencies who want to outsource their design, dev or PPC work at wholesale prices. Check out their special offer (10 free hours!) for podcast listeners here. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How agency owners can use data to measure the value of thought leadership The origins of Susan and Stephen’s research about the ROI of being an authority The research methodology Susan used for the ROI of thought leadership study What Susan and Stephen’s study uncovered about people’s attitudes/beliefs toward experts in their field The distinguishing characteristics that others use to determine if someone truly is an authority How referrals are impacted by someone’s position of authority The big takeaways of the study on the ROI of thought leadership and how to apply them in your agency

“Empowering women to trade benefits everyone.”Liz Becerra (5:19-5:22)   The SheTrades Initiative is on a mission to help connect three million women entrepreneurs in Agriculture by 2021.   The United Nations and World Trade Organization have come together to create the SheTrades initiative in order to create a sustainable economic impact globally. By helping women entrepreneurs, buyers and partners connect, collaborate and develop lasting relationships, SheTrade can empower women with the resources they need to overcome gender inequality in our food supply market.   We had the pleasure of sitting down with three powerful women who are helping spearhead this Initiative, Susan Mugure Wambugu, Frederine Derlot, and Lizbeth Becerra.    Susan is the Agriculture Sector Specialist for SheTrades in the Commonwealth at  the International Trade Centre in Kenya where she helps small and medium sized enterprises owned by women in Kenya connect with international buyers and markets.    Frédérine is the fresh fruits and vegetables expert for the International Trade Centre in Geneva, Switzerland and specializes in market linkages, coaching and connecting exporters from developing countries to international buyers and markets. She's worked for 15 years as an international buyer for the European food industry and is very involved with trade related technical assistance projects.   Lizbeth is an Associate Programme Officer at the International Trade Centre in Geneva, Switzerland and helps monitor and evaluate the project implementation with SheTrades Initiative.     “[Women] are 50% of the agriculture workforce and it's even higher in Africa, for example, where 70% of food production is done by women, and 80-90% of processing and storage is done by women .” - Frédérine Derlot (9:20)   Clearly, women are a critical part in farming around the world, but the agricultural ecosystem is suffering in developing countries because women aren't given the same opportunities as men. With SheTrades, women are able to connect virtually with other women owned businesses, mentors, and women in the supply chain so they can have the knowledge and support necessary to grow their businesses.    Women entrepreneurs from all over the world are welcome to join and they'll gain access to quality data, help gaining government contracts, networking opportunities to create business deals and assistance starting and growing their business. This is the fostering women need to exchange new ideas, and get support with important decisions like handling difficult customers, production issues and specific transactions.    Why focus on women? Women are key components and agents of change in food production and farming. Gender equality is more than essential for the security, production, nutrition and supply of our food globally. The United Nations has 17 sustainable goals, one of them being gender equality, which act as a blueprint for our collective sustainable future. Women and children are at the center of this agenda, not only because children are our future, but many countries are not reaching key performance metrics primarily because women don't have equal access there.    Gender equality isn't the only UN Sustainable Goal SheTrades helps achieve. Other goals include: No poverty Zero hunger Good health and wellbeing Quality education Gender equality Clean water and sanitization Affordable and clean energy Decent work and economic growth Industry, innovation and infrastructure Reduced inequalities Sustainable cities and communities Responsible consumption and production Climate action Life below water Life on land Peace, justice and strong institutions Partnerships   Because of COVID-19, the global, regional and local demand completely collapsed for food service.    Not only has the safety and quality been at risk for our health, planting and harvesting haven't been happening properly because of import and export delays, farmers getting sick and cash flow becoming scarce. Transport of food products has been hurt without as many passenger planes flying, coffee farmers haven't been able to get their coffee into ports and many farmers have been at risk because of their age.   Our experts estimate that it will take months for agriculture to recover which is where SheTrades comes in handy, teaching members everything from cash flow management, how to effectively lead during a crisis and helping women create partnerships that will create prosperous ripple effects in economies globally.    The great thing for the women involved in SheTrades is that everything is right at their fingertips virtually, so although the global economy has been affected, the learning, growth, and networking of women in agriculture hasn't slowed down.    “Women invest 90% of their income back into their families, compared to only 35% from men.” - Frédérine Derlot (25:30)   What Susan, Frederine and Liz want to help women understand is that even if you're not professionally involved in food and farming, you create just as much of an impact when you make informed shopping decisions. By understanding where your food is shipped from, where your products are created and the developing countries you are supporting with your purchases, you can make a difference. Your choices act as your voice of what global economies you support, and even the smallest purchase can impact developing families and communities.    How to get involved Join The Produce Moms Group on Facebook and continue the discussion every week!  Reach out to us - we'd love to hear more about where you are in life and business!

The quest to find a solution to a terminal cancer diagnosis at the age of 24 is how Susan Clarke’s entrepreneurial path took root to grow.  At the point of no possible positive outcomes, Susan stepped off the beaten path and took on the task of finding health through having difficult conversations, facing buried secrets and scars from the past, and finally choosing connection over validation. Since her cancer journey, Susan has focused her life on living fully in each moment and creating fulfilling relationships.  With her partner, CrisMarie Campbell, she started thrive!.  They are the authors of The Beauty of Conflict: Harnessing Your Team’s Competitive Advantage and The Beauty of Conflict for Couples. They also have a podcast with the same name: The Beauty of Conflict for dealing with conflict at work and at home. Her passion comes in working with leaders, teams, couples and individuals to help them value differences, bring more of themselves to everything they do, and engage in the power of people working collectively together. Key Points from the Episode with Susan Clarke: Susan and her partner CrisMarie Campbell help leaders and teams deal with conflict as a means for creativity, communication and achievement. They also do similar work with couples in a non-business setting. We started the interview mid-conversation, talking about my interview with CrisMarie, who was on the show in November 2018 in Episode 77. Susan is a Cancer survivor who was given a six month prognosis that she has outlived multiple times over now. The moment she got that news was a pivotal shift for her to see herself not as a follower anymore, but as a leader. She picked up a book by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross called On Death & Dying, and reached out to her about how to figure out how learn how to die. What Susan found is that she’s no different from anyone else when it comes to date – we all are going to die, but Susan was just given a date so she’s focused on it. This was when Susan realized no one has the answers for her, and she has to lead herself. She had to look more fully at her life, which wasn’t just about the Cancer. It’s not about blaming the Cancer, but looking at what it’s here to teach her. What Susan realized is that she actually had nothing to lose, so even if her life became a living hell, which it sort of was anyway, what difference does it make? She actually had four difference Cancers over seven years. You can get in this place where it’s almost easier to die than to live. This wasn’t the first thing Susan had faced, with other things from her past that started to unfold and surface. Susan’s doctors were asking her questions she wasn’t able to answer, and in the quest to find those answers, she unearthed trauma from abuse in her past. As a young adult, Susan was a teacher, and had gotten into running pretty intensely, with two 10-mile runs a day, and she started losing weight. When she went to see a doctor about it, they said she had a classic eating disorder, which they fixated on, and sent her to a psychologist, who started asking her deeper questions. She started asking her family some of these questions, which got them upset. What came out is that Susan was abused by a charismatic member of her town’s society, and the response to this coming out was not good, with people threatening Susan, ostracizing her, and worse. In this period, they still didn’t find the Cancer, but couldn’t stop the weight loss and other health issues, so she was sent to the Mayo Clinic, who found Stage IV Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. As her treatment went forward along with the self-work, Susan relationship with her family was severed. She also moved to the West Coast, and then started to have other Cancers, including Ovarian (resulting in having to have her ovaries removed), a brain-stem tumor and an optic nerve tumor, both of which required radiation. While you’re never technically in remission with Lymphoma, Susan did get a clean bill of health in 1989, and has remained Cancer-free since then. On the abuse case, authorities back home were trying to put a case together as they had found other victims willing to speak. In the end, that fell apart as the other victims and witnesses backed out or were too deep in the throes of mental issues from the abuse to stand up in trial, so the abuser remained free. What Susan was able to do, though, was learn empathy for her family, who went through something very hard themselves, even though it wasn’t the same as what Susan went through. She let go of comparing hardships or expecting, and just saw their pain in and of itself, and that allowed room to reconnect. She can believe in herself, and still hear the stories of others and have empathy without losing herself. This is what relationships are really and ultimately about. If we cannot work so hard on not making “them” wrong, we can get ourself back. We get to chose being right or relational. You don’t get to be both. After teaching, Susan went to The Haven in Western Canada, where she worked on her health and recovery. There, they did a lot of group work, realizing that people often got better in the waiting rooms than in the 1-on-1 appointments. Most people have their belief systems rattled at some point. Susan had her belief system shaken to the core, which can be a good place to be in if you want to grow. Essentially, she didn’t get to have her beliefs, and could instead build them. We talked about the way health situations like this where our bodies themselves are growing the thing that’s threatening our life can create trust issues with ourselves. What Susan has done around this is recognizing that her body is giving her information. That info can be scary, but it’s still information. It’s up to her to decide what to do with that info, and recognize it’s a conversation, and this is how your body does it. We got into talking about horses, which are the fastest animals to go back to a feral or wild state after being domesticated. Their ability to connect with our true nature is part of why they’re used in therapy and have been shown to have such strong impact on helping people deal with difficulties. Something Susan has learned about blaming someone else is that it’s often a sign that you’re uncomfortable about something in you. People think about choices as one we should make and one we shouldn’t. Susan doesn’t see it this way. It’s really about curiosity. Can I be curious about what I’m facing rather than making it about one thing or the other. With Cancer, it wasn’t about living or dying, it was about being curious about it and learning from it.

In , we discussed... ...what PRP therapy is, and how it differs from stem cells, what happens when you inject stem cells into a man’s “unit”, and why Amy injected me, why Amy injects stem cells and PRP into vaginas, and how the O-Shot improves the power and duration of female orgasms, the secrets of the vampire breast lift and other cosmetic procedures she has done, what causes hair loss, and how to fix it with stem cells, what V-Sels are and how they work and much more. Today, Amy's back, along with world renowned sexual technique adviser and the “Dear Abby of Hot Sex”, Susan Bratton. Dr. Amy Killen is a nationally recognized anti-aging and regenerative physician specializing in sexual optimization and longevity. Dr Killen merges diet, lifestyle, and integrative medicine with stem cell medicine to give her patients the most effective, cutting edge therapies currently available to help them reach their sexual potential. An international speaker, clinical practice owner, regenerative medicine instructor and frequent podcast guest, Dr. Killen believes that sexual health is not a luxury but is one of the main pillars of health that supports us in our quest for wellness and longevity. Susan Bratton's fresh approach to sex techniques and bedroom communication skills help millions of people—of all ages and across the gender spectrum—transform sex into passion. Her straight-forward lovemaking advice is rooted in her personal experience of watching her marital intimacy wither as she and her husband pursued dynamic careers. When her relationship hit a crisis point, Susan made a fierce commitment to do whatever it took to hold her family together and revive the passion in her marriage. Today, she and her husband have the kind of dream relationship most people stopped believing was even possible—until they discover her practical tips. After 15 years and over 30k hours of research, practice, teaching, and testing, Susan distilled the six simple essentials that ignite passionate lovemaking into her latest #1 international best-selling book, . During our discussion, you'll discover: -Susan's "6 Essentials to Connected Sex"...6:50 Susan and her husband had lost the emotional connection in their marriage. Tried everything from Tony Robbins conferences to group orgasm training sessions. This caused even more tension, leading to her home training programs. People began asking her for advice anonymously, contributing to her research. The 6 Essentials: Presence Context/Environment Sexual Soulmate Pact Polarity Embodied Sexuality Erotic Playdates (the couple that plays together stays together) Learning intimacy together grows the bond between a couple. -Tips for men to enhance their sex life...18:45 Men typically want more stamina; women want more orgasms. Focus on slow, steady, deep arousal. Get the tissue to engorge; increase bloodflow. -How Amy works with women to achieve better sex...23:25 PRP injections; O shot. Stem cells. Radio frequency devices, lasers "Scream creams" increase bloodflow, along with increased sensation Active ingredients: sildenafil (generic viagra) for men; tadalafil for women. Mindset, focusing on the experience is important too. -What people can do to enhance the sexual experience after a procedure like Gainswave...27:00 Intensity device. Balance hormones. Nitric oxide. Keep relationships and stress levels manageable. -How Susan incorporates things like supplements and diet into her teaching...27:15 Did a video series with Amy: 5 causes and 8 cures for ED. Salad Dressing for ED. This type of info is given away for free; used to make people aware of the training DVD's. -The history of the GAINSWave protocol...31:15 Technology has been around for many years, for things like increasing bloodflow to the heart. Sound waves simulate blood vessel formation, nitric oxide formation, recruiting stem cells into the penis.

As entrepreneurs and creatives, we know the feeling of pouring our whole heart into our work. Of devoting all our attention to the project at hand in pursuit of something greater than ourselves. How do we balance that quest for our best work with the desire to nurture our long-term, loving relationships?  How do we make room for the people we love—and love us back? What if the qualities necessary to sustain our long-term, loving relationships are the very same qualities we use to sustain our commitment to the creative path? On this episode of Tracking Wonder, Jeffrey is joined by Susan Piver, renowned Shambhala Buddhist teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the world’s largest virtual mindfulness community, the Open Heart Project. Susan shares the significance of bringing a constant curiosity to our loving relationships, explaining how the practice of love demands an attention not on the extraordinary, but on the familiar and ordinary. She offers insight around the four noble truths of love, the challenges of standing in love versus falling in love, and the idea of meeting instability together. Listen in to understand why long-term love doesn’t have to be in battle with one or both partners’ devotion to creative work and learn and learn how mindfulness is the practice of love.
