Susan Powter and creating her Stop The Insanity campaign; which generated more than $50 million in sales in only 30 weeks on the air, over $250MM in 3 years and won the first NIMA 1993 Infomercial of the Year and numerous production awards.

This brought Rusty’s career into television producing, with the Susan Powter Show, the highest syndicated daytime show in its time, the Home Show on ABC and many others which parlayed into her literary career, representing authors from Susan Powter’s first four books , to Richard Preston and Deborah Rosado Shaw, which was the first Hispanic business book ever published.
