On April 9th, Flagstaff County was buzzing with energy as over 30 local business owners came together for the Plan, Post, Profit Marketing Workshop led by the Social People.
This wasn’t your average marketing session. It was practical, powerful, and packed with strategies that get real results. From building a clear, customized plan to mastering storytelling and unlocking the potential of AI, attendees left ready to elevate their marketing game.
And the best part? Since the workshop, we’ve already seen those strategies in action across attendees’ social media accounts - and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the impact unfolding.
Participants walked away with a personalized marketing plan for 2025, proven techniques to boost engagement, a simple week-by-week content roadmap, insights on using AI effectively, and a strong network of fellow entrepreneurs to lean on.
This workshop was built to help business owners stop second-guessing and start showing up with purpose - and it’s working.

New episode! 🎙️
In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we talk with Jill, Kristy, and Lynette—co-founders of @enjoy_salted, a handcrafted caramel company based in Flagstaff County. What began as a small side project during the pandemic has grown into a thriving business rooted in intention, collaboration, and a willingness to take big risks.
From investing in custom equipment to stepping away from other jobs, the Salted team shares what it looked like to go all in. They speak candidly about finding their roles, building trust, and navigating growth—while staying focused on why they started in the first place.
Because as they’ll tell you, it was never just about the caramels.
They explore what it means to build a luxury product in a rural setting, how Flagstaff Crafted played a role in their early growth, and why being willing to ask for help (and hear a few no’s) has made all the difference.
If you’re in the middle of building something, wondering what’s next, or just looking for insight on what real business growth can look like—this conversation offers both inspiration and practical takeaways!

New Episode! 🎙️
In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we meet Tracey and John, the owners of @jdbarrettwoodwork , a custom woodworking business that has found success in both urban and rural Alberta. Originally from the UK, John started his career as a joiner, specializing in doors, windows, and staircases before running his own renovation business. Seeking new opportunities and a better lifestyle, he and Tracy made the leap to Canada, where they built a thriving woodworking business known for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
What sets JD Barrett Woodworking apart is their ability to create custom, high-end pieces while maintaining a strong commitment to their clients. Their reputation has been built almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals rather than traditional marketing, proving that exceptional work speaks for itself. They have worked on stunning home renovations, intricate cabinetry, and even custom furniture, bringing a blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern design to their projects.
One of the biggest shifts in their journey was choosing to move from Airdrie to the quiet, scenic community of Alliance located in the Flagstaff Region. While they still travel to Calgary for work, they have found immense benefits in rural living. John and Tracy describe the peace and balance that come with stepping away from the fast-paced demands of city life. In Alliance, they have the freedom to enjoy their property, take breaks in the middle of the day, and truly appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. The sense of community is another major highlight—people are welcoming, supportive, and always looking out for one another.
For those considering a move to a smaller community, John and Tracy’s story is a testament to the opportunities and lifestyle benefits that come with it. Their passion for craftsmanship, combined with the charm and tranquility of rural Alberta, makes their journey one worth sharing!
