Mary Rohlich - Head of TV & Film for Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures

Angle on Producers with Carolina Groppa

Mary Rohlich is the Head of TV and Film for Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures.

She came into my life thanks to the lovely Sarah Anthony, doc producer/friend/hero ho was also a guest many episodes ago.

At the time of this recording, which it baffles me to say was at the end of 2020, Mary was transitioning from being a free agent to her new position at Priyanka’s company.

She is a veteran film, television, and documentary producer. She is also an Executive Producer on the acclaimed Netflix series Atypical, which is in its fourth and final season.

She has produced numerous hit comedies (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) and award-winning documentary features (Gleason, Wrestle). Mary also enjoys serving as board chair for the non-profit film organization, Vidiots.

One of my personal takeaway was the reminder that there is no "there there." There is no one path. So, stay the course. Trust your own journey.

This week, Mary and I discuss:

• Earning your seat a table that actually aligns with your goals and values
• The integration of family, into set life and work culture
• The virtues of working with people you trust and admire

Thanks for doing this life thing with me!

Beijos,
