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.
