Doug Loon (DL): Welcome back to this week's Minnesota Business Podcast. Another great week at the Chamber. We celebrated manufacturing, all those innovators and employers across the state who make amazing products. And during our Manufacturers' Summit this week, we named the Coolest Thing Made in Minnesota.

We've talked about this on previous programs; how important it is that we celebrate manufacturers because they bring great jobs to build great communities all across the state. And I'm so thrilled to announce that the Bair Hugger warming system by Solventum won this year's Coolest Thing Made in Minnesota.
