    Jann Arden welcomes Canadian politician Chrystia Freeland to the show. The discussion covers Freeland's motivations for entering politics and running for Prime Minister, her experiences negotiating with Donald Trump, the challenges of public service, and the importance of pushing issues such as housing and food insecurity to the forefront. Prompted by Caitlin, Freeland gives us a 'pep talk,' emphasizing the need for Canadians to recognize their strengths and the importance of collaboration in leadership.
