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

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

In this kickoff episode, hosts Ryan Donally and Matthew Dumouchel introduce the vision behind the show, explain the format, and share why this podcast is an important part of the Chamber’s storytelling and engagement strategy moving into 2026.

You’ll hear:

Why it’s rare — and meaningful — for a Chamber to launch its own podcast

How business and the arts intersect to strengthen the region

Mini “get to know you” interviews as the hosts learn more about each other

The debut of Bounty from the County, where Ryan surprises Matthew with a locally sourced food or drink

This launch also coincides with a major milestone. In 2026, the Windsor-Essex Chamber of Commerce celebrates 150 years, and Beyond 2 Bridges plays a key role in how the Chamber connects with the community during this historic year.
