About this episode

Welcome to The LTO Show—the premier podcast for leaders in the tape and storage industries.For Nathan Thompson, the focus wasn’t on growth at all costs, it was about building  a legacy. Give every employee, even entry-level workers, stock options. "It's probably the only time in their life they'll own something like that," Nathan says. Treat customers like decade-long partners, not one-time transactions. Stay private. Stay focused. And build something that lasts.The result? Spectralogic—a company that's remained 100% privately owned for over four decades, where employees share in the success they help create, and where customer relationships span generations.
