Dani Johnson, bestselling author and success coach, reacted unlike most people when given the opportunity for some limelight – with a slammed door, so to speak.
Rejecting ABC four times before finally saying yes, Johnson is now set to star in the upcoming reality show “Secret Millionaire,” where self-made entrepreneurs go incognito for a week to some of the country’s most impoverished neighborhoods on a mission of finding unsung heroes within the community.
Keeping his or her wealthy identity a secret, each millionaire must find a local nonprofit organization or charity to volunteer at, under the disguise of filming a documentary.
Johnson and her husband started King’s Ransom, a non-profit foundation dedicated to serving people and giving to those in need around the globe.
Caring more about serving than about having her face plastered all over television, Johnson continually told ABC that she was not their girl, according to CT.
Johnson explained to CT that God opened up a platform to put one of His own on ABC on a Sunday night to proclaim who He is.
The edited version of this week’s program will show Johnson telling each person at the end of the filming, “I have a check for you.” Johnson started a business from the trunk of her car and a payphone booth. Johnson has a strong passion to help people improve their lives, decrease their debt and increase their salaries.
“My heart hurts for the hurting because I have been there too many times,” Johnson described to ABC.
Hoping to inspire viewers to use their influence to help others who are in need, Johnson left the reality show passionate about mobilizing people.
