The Vision is Happening

At the very beginning of Dumb Luck, we would talk about a network where brands, marketers, designers, and entrepreneurs could come together and create a rolodex of people to jumpstart projects. To connect creators. We wanted to highlight local businesses and the people behind them, and one year later, it’s happening.

Graphic designers are working with writers on rebrands. Content producers are working with local businesses on campaigns for 2026. We’ve been able to partner with local vendors and venues throughout the year.

That’s motivating. Even if it isn’t commercial, hopefully you’re getting value out of these meetups with laughs, friends, and experiencing new places around the city you haven’t been to yet. Which reminds me…
