What Antoinette and Tricia are sharing through their empowering book is exactly what we need at this very moment and time. To reinforce and motivate the next generation to follow suit. --Misty Copeland, American Ballet Theatre principal dancer and New York Times bestselling author of Ballerina Body and Life in Motion If there's one thing I respect the most about any entrepreneur, it's their hustle--their work ethic. Antoinette and Tricia are proven hustlers, with the success to show for it. With Double Down, they've generously let us in on their secrets. --Daymond John, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke and Rise and Grind Antoinette and Tricia are First in Class Badass Boss Ladies.

This book is the platinum standard, and most important, the advice is drawn from real life experiences. . . . Truly inspiring. --Jo Ann Ross, president and chief advertising revenue officer at CBS Corporation
