She birthed her business on September 11, 2001. The fateful events surrounding that day and the affect the tragedy had on her impacted how this RIM business owner even named the business.

Renee Keener called her business American Document Securities. A full service RIM business serving the greater Atlanta market, Renee has an inspiring story. She started out by driving the trucks because she was the only one who knew how. She has since built a business that allows her to provide a full immersion experience for those wanting to learn the shred and records business in a hands-on way.

Data security is not only a big issue for your clients, it is for you too.

Today on the show I speak with Peter Guffin a Partner with Pierce Atwood in Portland, ME. Peter heads the firm’s Privacy and Data Security Practice Group. Peter is intimately involved in the legal aspects of data breaches.

We talk about some of the factors that make breaches so complex and spend some time talking about some of the issues you should be aware of if you ever have a breach yourself.

This is changing our industry. You need to be well aware of your part in the security of data… yours and your clients.

FYI: Peter will be a featured speaker at the PRISM Privacy Plus Certification Workshop later this month.

And, we’ll get you caught up on the latest industry news.

Happy Holidays. I hope your celebrations this coming weekend and week ahead are very special for you and yours.

One of the things I continue to hear from so many people who listen to the show is how much they like the stories of others who have been in the business a long time. There is so much to learn from our industry colleagues that is hard to get just from meeting them at a conference.

Today, we give you two stories for the price of one. A special gift just for Christmas.

Robert Rippentrop and Bob Featherston of Media Services

On the show today we meet Robert Rippentrop, President and Bob Featherston, VP-Sales and Marketing of the Kansas City based RIM company, Media Services and shredding company, ShredTime. These two long time industry veterans are doing some cool things together in KC.

We’ll also catch you up on the latest industry news. Lots has happened in the last week.

Lest you assume that the RIM services world – especially in the multi-service record center part of the industry –  is lacking in new entreprenuerial start-ups… today’s show might change your mind.

My guest today is  someone who came into the industry with absolutely NO connection to it… fact is he didn’t even know what it was or that it even existed.

He was a cattle farmer from a small town south of Calgary.

Today he’s a few short years into building his record center business.

Bruce Nilsson, President and Founder of File Solutions, Lethbridge AB

Bruce Nilsson started File Solutions in the agricultural town of Lethbridge, Alberta with his cousin.  Bruce started the business after selling the family farm of five generations.

But, you need to listen to him tell the story.

I hope you are encouraged, inspired or maybe just reminded about the greatness of the entrepreneurial spirit that is evident in Bruce.

Enjoy his story today.

We’ll also update you on the most recent industry news.

Have a great week as we get closer to the festivities and the year end.
