Launching Beyond 2 Bridges: Business, Arts, and Windsor-Essex | Episode 1

mercredi 24 décembre 2025 • Durée 32:57

Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond 2 Bridges — a new podcast from the Windsor-Essex Chamber of Commerce that brings together the worlds of business, arts, sport, and culture.

In this kickoff episode, hosts Ryan Donally and Matthew Dumouchel officially unveil the show, share why this podcast matters to the region, and walk listeners through what to expect each week. From weekly insights on what’s happening across Windsor-Essex to conversations with local leaders, creatives, and athletes, Beyond 2 Bridges is designed to spotlight the people and ideas shaping our community.

Ryan and Matthew also flip the script with lighthearted, mini-interviews of each other — exploring their very different backgrounds and how those perspectives collide and complement one another on the show.

And of course, no episode would be complete without the debut of Bounty from the County — a signature segment where the hosts and guests sample a local food or drink from the region. This week’s bounty is selected by Ryan… and revealed as a surprise.

The timing of this launch is intentional. As the Chamber heads into 2026, a milestone year marking its 150th anniversary, Beyond 2 Bridges plays a key role in how the organization connects, communicates, and celebrates the region moving forward.
