In this episode, we sit down with Ari Goldstein, a researcher whose work bridges academia, advocacy, and community action. Ari is a Research Assistant with the 2SLGBTQIA+ Emancipatory Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (REKH) at the University of Alberta, where they explore the sociolegal history of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada and the lived experiences of queer entrepreneurs across the Atlantic provinces.
With an academic foundation in sociology and criminology and a Master of Planning from the University of Calgary’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Ari brings both analytical depth and lived understanding to their work. Prior to joining REKH, they served as Parade and Logistics Coordinator for Calgary Pride, contributing to one of Canada’s most vibrant celebrations of queer community and visibility.
Join us for a thoughtful conversation with Ari about what it means to research and reimagine inclusive economies, how 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneurship challenges existing systems, and why understanding our history is essential to building equitable futures.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
