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.
