Phil Keoghan

Phil's NOW philosophy is about learning how to live while you still have the chance, letting go of the handrails, thinking outside the box and using your imagination as your currency. As an avid adventurer, Phil co-created and co-produced a number of original television series including: Short Sportz, a sports show encouraging kids to get involved in sports; Keoghan's Heroes, featuring top thrill seekers around the world; E-Team, an environmental pilot; The Human Edge, profiling innovative people for National Geographic; and Phil Keoghan's Adventure Crazy, which airs around the world on The Discovery Networks.

Phil's passion for life prompted Oprah Winfrey to invite him on the show to talk about his life philosophy and he has recently made frequent appearances. In one episode, he was asked to help a woman, terrified of heights, rappel from the top of America's tallest bridge. Phil is also a regular motivational speaker having appeared at a number of major colleges and numerous corporate events throughout the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Canada.

In 2004, Phil released a self-help book called, No Opportunity Wasted, NOW, (8 ways to create a list for the life you want). The NOW book was a bestseller in New Zealand and Australia and was developed into a television series for The Discovery Channel. The US television series was honored for excellence at the Banff Television Festival. The NOW format was produced for network television in New Zealand and is currently in development with CBC in Canada.

Originally from New Zealand, Keoghan lives with his wife and daughter in Los Angeles.
