✨ The Show with David Burrows Ep. 725 ✨

This week I sat down with Mayor Mike Bradley for a conversation that goes way beyond headlines. We trace his journey from Australia to Ireland to Sarnia, how books shaped his worldview, the lessons he learned from his dad’s union roots, why accessibility and inclusion matter to him, and the humor behind those famous sunset posts.

It’s about the person behind the title, the experiences that shaped him, and what leadership looks like when it’s rooted in service, listening, and hope. If you’re here for stories that reveal the heart of our community, you’ll enjoy this one.

Meet Richard Beland - Professional Photographer
Richard Beland Photography Inc.

🎥📸 From Bright’s Grove roots to capturing icons like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and even that unforgettable nod from Robert Plant — this week I sit down with Richard “Ricky” Bland.

Richard’s story is packed with grit, world travel, near-death experiences, and the kind of sweat equity it takes to turn passion into a career. From photographing the Grateful Dead at 19 to touring with the Tragically Hip, Richard carved his own blueprint as one of Canada’s most respected music photographers.

But here’s what makes this conversation even more special 👉 Richard is now shaping the next generation of storytellers at Lambton College.
What makes the program unique❓
✨ Every instructor is a working photographer, not just teaching theory.
✨ Small classes where students become family — Richard knows names within a week.
✨ Cutting-edge training — from live events to drone licensing and real estate photography.
✨ Annual field studies in New York City, immersing students in culture, art, and photography at its core.

And the timing couldn’t be better. Richard is about to launch his long-awaited photo book, Our Immortal Stars, Vol. 1, on October 25 in Toronto. Over 200 photos, 25 stories, and decades of music history brought to life.

This interview is full of laughs, lessons, and goosebump moments that remind you why we share stories in the first place. 🌟

💬 Who would YOU love to photograph if you had the chance?

🎥✈️ Top-secret set, hometown story!
Today’s episode took me to an undisclosed location where I sat down with Glen Fenwick. Car guy, pilot & family man, to talk about growing up here, turning a small family garage into a powerhouse, and why he says Sarnia is the best place in Canada… which, by default, makes it the best in North America. 😉

🛩️ We geek out on aviation with COPA Flight 7, the future of our airport, and how anyone can get started flying with Huron Flight Services. Glen says you can earn your private pilot licence in about six weeks if you put in the time.
We also tour some gorgeous aircraft, from a vintage-styled Starduster to lightning-fast Vans.

🏍️ Then we chase motorcycle adventure: Glen’s 2,000-km back-roads ride across Colorado and Utah, high passes, hot deserts, epic views, and only a couple of tire changes. Not a bad way to “retire.”

💬 Favourite takeaway: surround yourself with the right people, own your mistakes, keep learning, and make the world a little better by the end of the day. That’s Glen’s playbook… and I’m here for it.
