AtlasRTX CEO Bassam Salem joined me this morning and we chatted old-school style - cell phone/blue tooth, no video, that is. Bassam shared some of his remarkable story which includes growing up in Cairo, Paris and a small town in Great Britain before his family scored an apartment on the east side of Salt Lake City in 1986. He launched his company in 2015 and is implementing AI (which I now understand a little better) in ways to help companies provide better services. We spoke about his family’s journey to success and how lucky he feels to be living (and working) in Park City, Utah.

I started the show discussing the morning news (Headline: Sundance Film Festival possible site of early COVID-19 outbreak) and wondering why it is that I can get a haircut down here (Salt Lake County), which I desperately need, but not up there (Summit County).
