Entrepreneur and investor Arlene Dickinson makes the case that what Canadians need most right now isn’t a new plan — it’s the belief that they already have what it takes to execute one.

Dickinson traces how curiosity became her operating system, why she chose to go more public — not less — as the noise around her got louder, and what it cost her to admit she’s dealt with depression and anxiety. She also gets into the political moment: not partisan, but pointed. When institutions get dismantled instead of repaired, and when a generation grows up thinking division is normal, she argues someone has to say so out loud.

Arlene is Alone started as a show about being single. It became something harder to define and more worth watching.
