Episode 038: Brooke Clay of Rural Gone Urban

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.

And don’t forget to nominate your favorite rural influencer for The Ruralist!
