S3.E1 ∙ Autonomy Farms & Too Pretty
In the season three premiere, billionaire Tilman Fertitta is back, offering two small businesses an opportunity that could change their lives forever. First up is Autonomy Farms, who hope to end their recent string of bad luck by impressing Tilman with their organic beef and produce.

But if they can't, their chance for a deal will fizzle out.
