A number of local executives will be advising the White House in the coming weeks on how to restart the economy while protecting people’s health. They're part of a 219-member panel named by the Trump Administration Tuesday.

Among the names on the list are national leaders in healthcare, technology, agriculture, banking and retail. Life Time Fitness Founder and CEO Bahram Akradi is one of them. Life Time is based in Chanhassen, Minn. and runs fitness clubs nationwide. Akradi spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer Thursday morning.
