Mandy Spiller - Small Town Leaps of Fait...

Ben Wilson
About this episode

Finding our place where we feel a sense of belonging, purpose, security and happiness is what all of us hope for in life, and Mandy seems to have found all of it right here on Main Street, in Daysland, Alberta. But like all great rewards it hasn't come without great risk and hard work. This is the story of Mandy's giant leaps of faith that led her into the world of business and have helped to revitalize her small corner of rural Alberta in Flagstaff County. If you know Mandy, you already know she's a great storyteller and she's a force to be reckoned with when she gets an idea in her head. And if you haven't met her yet then you better get out to the Rusty Daisy Gift Co. in Daysland. She won't let you leave town a stranger.
