Family is what today's podcast guest stands for. Glen Meakem, Founder and CEO of a brilliant company called FOREVER shares how he was inspired to find a solution to his family's quandary of precious photos, film, and video that was stored haphazardly, inaccessible, and in danger of being lost. (Sound familiar?) His solution spawned a whole new business venture. FOREVER provides PERMANENT digital storage for all our precious memories and memorabilia so they can be enjoyed by friends and family now - and generations into the future.  Intrigued? So was I! That's why I invited him to tell the story. Join us! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Preserving generations of photo memories with Glen Meakem of Forever.com

Glen Meakem is the founder &amp; CEO of a permanent cloud photo storage and sharing company called Forever. He previously took his first technology startup, FreeMarkets, public in late-1999.   FreeMarkets grew up during the height of the Dotcom Bubble and reached a peak valuation of over $10 billion. While the spectacular highs of the bubble could not last, underneath the market Glen was tripling revenues each year and operating.   After selling FreeMarkets to Ariba in 2004, Glen started angel and venture investing. Some of his most successful investments include Kiva Systems (sold to Amazon), HotPads (sold to Zillow), and  Niche.com.   After wrapping up a successful venture career, Glen returned to being an entrepreneurial operator. Forever was built because Glen was frustrated by the short-term business models and incentives offered from other cloud storage providers.   In this podcast interview, you’ll hear Glen and Aaron discuss timeless leadership principles, how to recognize a business opportunity, and stories from the tech bubble.   Pittsburgh’s best conference to Expand your Mind &amp; Fill your Heart happens once a year.   Glen Meakem’s Challenge; Don’t sit on the sidelines. Get in the game and take action. Walk through the door. Be ethical. Be kind.

414 Storing Family Memories Forever & Losing $1 Billion w/ Glen Meakem

Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org.  In “Family Histoire News” Fisher and David talk about the recent story of a couple in their 70s that just welcomed a new child into the family!  How and where?  You’ll have to listen to the show. David then talks about a 111 year old woman with more grandchildren than years on this earth.   Fisher and David will give you the math.  A famous English ship has been found… right under our noses… scuttled in New England!  Listen to find out whose and what ship it was.  MyHeritage has come up with a new tribal history program.  David fills you in on the details of this important initiative.  Plus, catch David’s Tech Tip, and the NEHGS free database of the week. In segment two, Fisher visits with Forever.com founder and CEO Glen Meakem about what he views as the important process of prioritizing what is really important to pass down and how you’re going to do it.  It’s an important conversation with many points you’re going to want to consider and act on. Fisher next visits with Joshua Arlin Collins, a Texas man and Extreme Genie in every sense of the term.  Joshua has been seeking his ancestors for some time and in the process learned that he may be qualified to fill a vacant Earldom!  Could he one day be the star of a reality version of Downton Abbey?  Hear what Joshua found in his research and how he plans to claim his place among the aristocracy of England! Then, Preservation Authority Tom Perry returns to talk about preserving paper.  What paper should be kept and how, and what paper should be scanned and tossed?  Tom will give you some great thoughts on everyone’s great challenge… how to collect without collecting too much! It’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!
