In this episode, Maureen Taylor speaks with Glen Meakem, founder and CEO of Forever.com. Glen shares his inspiration for starting the company in 2012—recognizing a gap in long-term, secure, digital storage for family memories. Forever offers users a permanent digital home to store and share photos, videos, and documents with guaranteed access for future generations. Unlike other cloud platforms, Forever emphasizes ownership, privacy, and permanence, supported by a sustainable financial model. Glen also discusses their digitization services, metadata functionality, and commitment to customer support and continuous innovation, highlighting Forever’s mission to preserve memories for lifetimes to come.

Key Bullet Points:

  • Glen Meakem founded Forever.com in 2012 to fill a gap in long-term digital memory preservation.
  • Forever.com provides permanent cloud storage for photos, videos, and documents, guaranteed for your lifetime plus 100 years.
  • The Forever.com Guarantee Fund ensures sustainable digital preservation through an endowment-like financial structure.
  • Services include digitization of analog media, real-time phone backups, photo book printing, and more.
  • Users retain full ownership and control over their data, with options to manage legacy settings and metadata.
  • Forever offers exceptional customer support via ambassadors and dedicated service teams.
  • Constant updates ensure the platform evolves with changing technology.
