As the saying goes "third time's a charm!!!"

Sofia Kirkman makes her third appearance on the show and doesn't miss a beat!!

She's had quite the year so far.

Acquiring a new venue space, tragically losing her dad to a sudden battle of pancreatic cancer, dealing with grief on a daily basis, gearing up for remodeling and opening the new venue before the end of summer.

She also dives into being a business owner and whether it was a dream of hers, what she would do IF the business went under, getting a major callback from broadway and her recent revival of playing video games.
