In this episode, host Levi Te Slaa sits down with Mason Leiseth—a South Dakota native, mechanical engineer, and manufacturing leader—to explore how the U.S. can reclaim its place in the global industrial economy. Mason shares how his upbringing on a family farm and early exposure to fabrication set the stage for his passion for manufacturing. From his work at Twin City Fan to growing a machine shop in Huron, SD, Mason has worn many hats and now helps companies as a consultant focused on scaling, streamlining, and solving complex operational problems.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be A Guest Are you a successful business owner or professional with insights to share?
