Being “Just Dumb Enough” is all about being okay with yourself, and the situation you find yourself in, after you bring up a topic in front of a real expert. The premise of the show is exposing the general listening audience to topics, careers, experiences, or lifestyles they may otherwise know very little about. My name is Colton Petry, I am the Host of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast, and I‘m your professional idiot.
