19 - Jennifer Holness & Sudz Sutherland - Film Makers & Documentarians - Seeing “No” as Merely a Challenge to Overcome

Speaking with power couple Jennifer and Sudz, we get a glimpse of two different paths - until they fused into one. Facing naysayers all along from an early age, both learned that defining their capabilities for themselves was key in their own pursuit of purpose. Navigating this way by the time they found each other, their passions wove together and only amplified their intensity in mission to spread their unique messages through film. Listen in on how they both live by the mantra of casting ego aside to let the best idea win, and never accepting “no” as a viable option once the idea takes hold.
