I have to admit its one of my favourite TV shows and Arlene was the sole female Dragon on the show. What I can say is that not only is she an inspiration to Canadian women of all walks of Life, she is the consummate female: Mother, Grandmother, Entrepreneur, Angel, Founder and Motivator. This morning at 1:30am on YOUInc Arlene announced on her blog that she would be leaving Dragons Den Canada, with the hashtag #someoneelsesturn, Arlene announced \u201cIt\u2019s not an easy decision to leave this show, which is about so much more than entertainment. It\u2019s about dreams, and having the courage to chase them. It&#8217;s been an incredible privilege to meet entrepreneurs from all over Canada, ranging in age from 6 to 86. They&#8217;ve brought comedy acts, drama, animals, food, props and crazy gimmicks to the Den, which makes for great television; but above all else they&#8217;ve bared their hearts and souls, their passion for and commitment to their own business ideas. Week after week, they&#8217;ve reminded me that success isn&#8217;t really about achieving your dreams&#8211;it&#8217;s about having the courage to pursue them in the first place. (Though I&#8217;m not going to lie: achieving them is pretty great, too.)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I am also a <a href=\"https:\/\/youinc.com\/expertdetail\/03924c40464a0be51a56112a5d8ca3a4\">Featured Expert<\/a> on YouInc. so I have watched first-hand the growth of a platform in just a few short years.
