In the greater RIM industry there are individuals who play a significant role in the start-up or growth of a independent business. In a number of cases this includes non-competitive business owners who share their experience and knowledge. But more often it is industry vendors who generously give of their time, perspective and broad expertise to help in the process.

How would you like a 200 feet  of granite as your protective vault walls? Would fully armed security personnel guarding the entrance to your vault be appealing? And even if someone got past the guards, would you be comforted by the fact that they’d still have to get through a six ton,  atomic bomb resistant vault door?

Today on the show we learn about one company who has that kind of security.  Perpetual Storage is a data protection, digital storage vault located just outside of Salt Lake City.

Jim Nowa is the VP of Sales and has been with Perpetual Storage for 31 years.

PRISM International is going through some significant transitions in the days and weeks ahead. The most important element in the transition is the move from an independently managed association to one managed by an association management company.

The 2011 PRISM President,  Chris Pearson and his predecessor, Dave Heric, the 2010 President, as well as the entire PRISM Board have been extremely involved in the entire process.

Jim Teske, President, PRISM International 2012

But Jim Teske, this years PRISM President, is the one who is leading the way in this actual transition year.

As a result, I felt it highly important to have him join us to discuss the transition.

Due to the length of time devoted to the interview, I chose to forego covering any recent industry news.
