I always create a space and time to see the hottest SD how on Sundays. I give it a 4 star because if it was a 5 star there wouldn't have room to raise the bar and each week they take it to a new level. The Kings have to be witty and geniuses to keep the bar at one level then raise it little each week!

This has been a very empowering show for me as I am a female starting my own business. I have done a lot of my own strategic planning and site building while watching the show going after my own dreams. I adore Alicia, and love the the #girlboss. It is much more than television to me. Every episode I feel engaged in the drama and wit of the writing and acting. Thank you for creating such a great show for me to feel more empowered as a woman coming into my own potential. :)
