The Valley Girl Show is a great program to spread awareness of entrepreneurship by interviewing successful entrepreneurs. It is meant to inspire people to chase their own business dreams.

It is hosted by Jesse Draper, daughter of Venture Capitalist Tim Draper, who himself is the son and grandson of two other famous and successful venture capitalists. In short, this family is well connected, which in part explains how Draper gets interviews with Ted Turner, MC Hammer, and Eric Schmidt to name a few.

The show is fun, light-hearted, inspiring, and warm. I love it, even though the content is not always thought provoking or meaningful, it is fun. Jesse Draper who has acted professionally on Nickelodeon hit shows and movies, plays a stereotyped "ditsy valley girl". Of course, the name is also a play on the Silicon Valley, which rather attracts a lot of great entrepreneurs and startups, and you can see Jesse's greater intelligence shining through.

Give the show a try, I suggest starting with the Ted Turner interview.

And of course, one day Jesse should interview me with my great web business: HealthAliciousNess.com
