You guys are simply amazing! I can’t explain how much it means to me to see you make sure you didn’t overlook communities. I am sold that the lack in many underserved communities can change in one generation with a shift of focus on small business. So to me you laid the roadmap for Central Alton to change their legacies. Once again, thank you. 🙏🏾

I love this series! I have watched every season! While I would not want to be a business owner myself, I love watching the inspiration and drive of these business owners, and I wish them success! There is so much heart in this series! Thank you, Amanda!

Though I'm sure we didn't see all of Benjamin Golley's speech, he is truly an inspiring speaker. Great episode!

How could you possibly exclude a success story like Fast Eddie's? Where is the real history like Benjamin Godfrey, Lyman Trumbull and Lovejoy. Virtually no mention at all. These people made Alton. There is no history here of how Alton got to where it is. That's why the younger generation is able to carry on.

And then there is Western Military Academy's 'notable alumni' list, which includes Paul Tibbets (commander of the Enola Gay), William S. Paley (founder of CBS), and Eddie O'Hare (WW2 Medal of Honor recipient for whom O'Hare International Airport in Chicago is named.) I remember being stunned when I learned that one of the homes I sometimes drive by on my way to work once was the home of Trumble. And we cannot forget Alton history's dark side: birth place of James Earl Ray...
