 Andy Berg worked in the corporate office setting for more than 15 years as an engineer. And then, 2020: cue the pandemic. Latitude Studios is a solution born from a problem, as all the best ones are. Andy and his wife Sarah were thrust into work-from-home life, as many of us were, in 2020. and they needed a separated workspace that was, in fact, not in their home. Thus, the idea of building studios out of shipping containers was born. The new shipping container - workspace studio allowed Andy to “go” to work in the morning but still lock the door and leave work at the end of the day. He and Sarah’s wheels started turning, and soon, Latitude Studios was born.Support the showFollow the Makers of Minnesota on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @MakersofMN.

Larry Sickman started Lakes Supply Co (@lakessupplyco)  to bring custom-crafted designs directly to those who love lake life: cabin owners, lake homeowners, anglers, watersports, and camping enthusiasts, or anybody that has fun on or around their favorite lake. It all started when his family went to the North Shore and he wanted a unique shirt to commemorate the trip. All of the shirts felt cookie-cutter, and when he found one that he liked when he returned to work after his trip, a co-worker had the identical shirt.Support the showFollow the Makers of Minnesota on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @MakersofMN.
