    The People Behind the Movement

    Meet Jim & Doreen Kukral

    Jim Kukral is a Cleveland native, author, speaker, and serial entrepreneur who has spent over 25 years helping businesses and brands connect with audiences through authentic storytelling and community building.

    Doreen Kukral is the Co-founder of LET'S GO CLE and the operational force behind every event and initiative. She handles logistics, partnerships, and makes sure everything runs smoothly (from community gatherings to major productions). Without Doreen, none of this would happen.

    Together, they have built brands around persuasion psychology, authentic storytelling, and genuine human connection. They're also the founders of Cleveland Floaters, a unique live experience on Lake Erie designed to help people disconnect from the noise and reconnect with themselves.

    LET'S GO CLE is their civic identity brand, born from one simple truth: Cleveland is the most human city in America. And in a world becoming more automated, more disconnected, more algorithm-driven, that matters more than ever.

    A Live Experience on the Water

    Cleveland Floaters

    Cleveland Floaters is a Cleveland-born live experience on the water. Part comedy. Part community. Part emotional reset. It is designed to make people feel human again. Laugh, cry, let go, and be fully present. You cannot explain it. You have to feel it.

    The Most Human City in America

    Stay Human, Cleveland

    LET'S GO CLE is a civic identity brand born from the truth that Cleveland is the most human city in America. This city survives because people show up for each other. For local businesses. For creators. For neighbors. For family. In a world becoming more automated, disconnected, and algorithm-driven, Cleveland remains stubbornly human. Real people. Real conversations. Real community. Real grit.
