Susan Ruth:
Following the Unseen Road
How to keep going even when you're not sure where you're going, because you don't know how to not keep going.

Susan Ruth began her career as a performing artist and songwriter in Seattle, Washington, where she garnered multiple performance and writing awards for her albums how to say goodbye and Surfacing to Breathe. In 2006, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee and penned songs in multiple genres for artists Reba McEntire, Lonestar, Erdem Kinay, O'Shea and The United, among others. In 2014, she released her album All I Ever Wanted Was Everything. Susan’s songs have been featured in motion pictures, including Life on the Line and After Life, as well as in the television series MTVs Road Rules and Real World. 

In July of 2016, Susan founded the human interest, purpose-driven, award-winning Hey Human podcast. It has since gained momentum and worldwide attention for its open-minded conversations ranging in topics from science, technology, religion, art, economics and politics to humanism, philosophy, gender and race. 

Susan is an accomplished abstract painter. Her work is sought-after by collectors and the majority of her paintings are commissions. Self-taught, she is the third generation grandniece of painter Carl Gutherz, notable member of the American Symbolist movement of the late nineteenth century, whose works hang all over the world. Susan is also a sketch writer and screenwriter. She wrote and directed her first short film in February (“The First”) and completed the Second City Conservatory program.

Genius Teatime was conceived by Pamela Samuelson of Embodywork LA and A. Laura Brody of Opulent Mobility. We ask folks what they can give a talk on for 40 minutes without prep or notes, and they deliver talks full of wonderful information and community spirit! This talk benefited The Trevor Project, our speaker, and the Opulent Mobility accessibility fund. 

Please join us for future Genius Teatime sessions each Saturday at 3:30-4:30 PM PST (teatime!) via Zoom on https://www.opulentmobility.com/genius-teatime.html
