Episode 38 // Brooke Clay of Rural Gone Urban

Written By Danna Larson

We recently met up with Brooke Clay of Rural Gone Urban as our travel paths were crossing in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We had a great conversation about the power of story, her Rural Influencer Project and what makes someone an influencer, and why the narrative is changing for rural America. Plus we let you in on the story behind The Ruralist and how that came to be.

We talk a lot about entrepreneur life, and how Brooke’s ad agency and travel and writing experience have all blended together into Rural Gone Urban, where she’s telling some pretty great — and important — stories. Definitely go check out her website and blog and you’ll see how she’s helping shine a light on great things happening in rural America!

I think the internet really is a driving factor in youth returning to rural America.

I love that every time I drive through a new main street there is a new business in a historic building.
