## Resource

From a gapped-tooth kid who dreamed of Hollywood to the woman who gave Kim Kardashian her first TV appearance and generated over a million dollars a day on home shopping, Dr. Forbes Riley has built one of the most extraordinary careers in entertainment and sales history. In this conversation, Forbes opens up about the acting career that took her from Splatter University to Broadway opposite Christopher Reeve, the pitching philosophy that turned her into a $2.5 billion force in infomercial history, and why her brand new book, Pitch Secrets A to Z, is really a life skills manual disguised as a business book.
