LETTER

Taking a shot on yourself can be scary; it can also be exhilarating, exhausting and sometimes end up in disappointment, but it can also be a catalyst that changes your life forever.

Lin Manuel Miranda famously penned his anthem for “Hamilton” about not throwing away his shot:

“I am not throwing away my shot I am not throwing away my shot Hey yo, I’m just like my country I’m young, scrappy and hungry And I’m not throwing away my shot”

Or maybe you relate more to Lizzo, whose certainly not afraid to shoot her shot (ex. Chris Evans).

“So you can tell your friend, ‘shoot your shot’ when you see ‘em It’s OK, he already in my DM”

In this issue we introduce you to locals who have taken their shot and won big. We hope you find them just as inspiring as we do.

And take the chance; you just might win big, too.
