Meet Jackie (Creator, Host):
Jackie Keller is the Founding Director of NutriFit, LLC, Los Angeles’ premiere healthy food company. Since 1987, Jackie has dedicated her life to helping others live longer and healthier lives.
Meet Dian (Guest):
Dian Thomas was blessed with the good fortune to be born and raised in breathtaking southern Utah where her father was a forest ranger. Dian’s family gave her the opportunity to learn camping activities, outdoor cooking techniques and many other skills for creating fun over a campfire and in the wilderness. Dian’s master’s thesis provided the basis for her first book, Roughing It Easy. Her appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson propelled the book to the New York Times best-seller list where it remained all summer. From that momentum, Dian worked hard to become an expert in public relations, publicity and promotion. Since that time, she has written nineteen books, and made thousands of personal appearances with her innovative “live demonstrations”. Dian has served as national spokesperson for divisions of Kraft Foods, Procter & Gamble, Dow Chemical, and countless others.
Dian’s television appearances led to contracts with NBC’s Today show, where she was a cast regular for eight years. That was followed by a six-year contract with ABC’s Home Show. During this time she also appeared several times on ABC’s Good Morning America and numerous other national and local television programs. She now is a regular on Hallmark Home and Family.
The secret of Dian’s amazing publicity success is her professionalism. She began her career as an amateur but quickly conquered television, radio, magazines, newspapers, books, and the Internet and other new technologies. Her new venture, entitled How to Get a Million Dollars’ Worth of Free Publicity, attests to the success Dian has enjoyed as one of the country’s foremost experts on public relations. That campfire Dian lit years ago in the southern Utah forests of her youth is still burning bright and bringing warmth and light to millions. Dian will inspire other to do what she did.
