In this episode of Season 2, Amber Bonney Bites Big with co-host Suji Sanjeevan an exceptional Australian business owner whose intellect, tenacity and resilience has seen her graduate with a medical degree from Kings College London, shape medical policy and research governance in Australia, co-found two successful businesses appear on Shark Tank!
Inspired by Amber's own Mantra, "bite big and chew like hell", in this episode we get real and raw about what it was like for Suji growing up in London with family pressures to study medicine, experiencing failure for the first time and her career "rebirth". With exceptional humility, Suji shares how her experience of the all-too-familiar 'glass ceiling' - how being a migrant, a woman and a mother was inhibiting her careers options and the actions she took to break that class and become her own "boss woman".
Amber gets under the skin of Suji's mantra, "It's not successful people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are successful", and how being thankful show's up for her in a practical way everyday. Suji speaks from the heart and with gratitude about her success, reflecting on how her failures have helped her achieve all that she is today, including her experience with Channel 10's Shark Tank Australia, the lead-up to her appearance how she has used it to further benefit her business.
Bite Big has donated $500 to the chosen charity Bridging Lanka a charity that is bridging the ethnic, religious and geographic divides for peace and prosperity in Sri Lanka.
