Gilbertsville, NY doesn't exactly look like a thriving metropolis... but Kristina and Patrick Strain are proving otherwise. Kristina started her bold beauty brand, Badgerface, from her kitchen table with just $200 in startup capital. Today, she's shipped over 40,000 orders and has found a proven model for small town success and rural life.

In this video, we go behind the scenes of their journey: the scrappy warehouse they turned into a production facility, the insanely affordable housing and real estate that Patrick is quietly investing in, and the honest truth about what small town living actually looks like.
