Fuckup Nights RVA | September 2026

Fuckup RVA — September 15

Failure happens. The good stories come from what happens next.

Join us for the next Fuckup RVA on Tuesday, September 15 at 5:30 PM, an evening of honest stories about professional failures, unexpected turns, lessons learned, and the messy realities behind careers and success.

This time, we’re bringing together three Richmond professionals — , , and — to share stories you probably won’t find on their LinkedIn profiles.

No polished success stories. No pretending everything went according to plan. Just real people talking candidly about something that went wrong, what it taught them, and how it shaped what came next.

Fuckup RVA is about making failure easier to talk about — because behind nearly every career, company, big idea, and bold move are mistakes, setbacks, and moments when things simply didn’t work.

Come for the stories. Stay for the conversation, connections, and reminder that nobody has it all figured out.

What to expect:

• Three candid stories from Richmond professionals
• Lessons from failures, setbacks, and unexpected outcomes
• A welcoming room full of curious people
• Time to connect, mingle, and continue the conversation

Featuring:
Mike King, CEO of MIKEKINGBIZ Media
Leah Coleman, REAL ESTATE + ENTREPRENEUR
Shawn Sellars, CEO + FOUNDER of SS ELECTRICAL

Tuesday, September 15 | 5:30 PM

Bring your curiosity. We’ll bring the fuckups.
