In this episode of Behind the Headshot Podcast, host James Froment sits down with Susanne Todnem, marketer, former journalist, and founder of her own agency, to talk about what it really means to build a career that doesn’t follow a straight line.

They explore how Susanne went from banking and IT to journalism, before starting her own marketing company while living in Australia. From there, she built a career that blends strategy, communication, and creativity, now working with AI and serving on multiple company boards.

Expect insights on taking smart risks, learning by doing, and building momentum when the plan isn’t linear. Plus: how AI can actually make marketing more human, what being a board member really involves (beyond the LinkedIn title), and why staying curious might be the most powerful career strategy of all.
