To Dine For with Kate Sullivan  It's taken me some time to introduce you to Kate. Kate is the Host and Executive Producer of the tv Show on PBS called To Dine For. She interviews movers and shakers at their favourite restaurant about what it takes to pursue the American dream. Here's why thats important for you... Because someone didn't hand her the show and say, "here host this amazing show"... INSTEAD... Just like the entrepreneurs she interviews, this is Kate's own show and from idea to broadcast - she has had to think like a business woman (when for years she was paid to be a  journalist)   and fund her own show to be aired on a major network. So whether.... your passion turns into a profession from your bedroom, kitchen table or an office space, it has been the same entrepreneurial spirit that has had Kate turn her passion, very publicly, into a profession called, To Dine For, on TV. With NO experience of hosting her own show or even how to go about it, no experience in sale
