In the second episode of Alberta Edge, host Ryan Hastman goes beyond oil and politics to explore something deeper: why Alberta continues to attract big dreamers. From cattle barons to tech founders, immigrants to rig hands, the province has long rewarded those who are willing to take a risk—on themselves and on each other. To dig into Alberta's culture of ambition and entrepreneurship, Ryan sits down with political insider-turned-historian John Whittaker and TEDxCalgary co-founder Rahim Sajan. They talk about brain gain, barn-raising, and the "enabling environment" that keeps drawing newcomers. They also discuss what it'll take to keep that momentum going through political uncertainty. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald. The Hub thanks him for his ongoing support. The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.
