There are some big challenges facing the world today – like addressing indoor air quality, ensuring a supply of semiconductors and helping prevent burnout in health care – and 3M is working to help businesses and consumers affected by them.

A new podcast, “What’s Next at 3M,” highlights this work, sharing the stories of some of our latest innovators and collaborators focused on improving lives around the world while also helping to drive company growth.

“We want to share our most impactful stories in the most impactful ways we can, and the ‘What’s Next’ podcast is an entertaining new way to highlight what we do and why it matters,” said Brian Henry, senior vice president, Communications. “We go behind the scenes explaining how 3Mers apply science to life in so many innovative ways.”

The first episode – about the growing awareness around indoor air quality, Filtrete™ Brand’s new smart air purifiers, lasers and something we’ll just call “pancake air” – is available now wherever you find your podcasts, including Apple, Audible and Spotify.
