Episode Description

In Episode Two, Paul and Chris revisit some of the hardest and best days in OwnerRez history, from a server issue that nearly wiped out thousands of booking records to the day they both began working full-time on OwnerRez. They also talk openly about how they have handled burnout, family life, and share some of the hobbies that have helped them stay grounded over the years.

You’ll hear about:

  • The software update that nearly wiped out thousands of booking records
  • The emotional and operational impact of the outage
  • The moment they realized OwnerRez was here to stay
  • How transparency has guided OwnerRez through the years
  • What burnout really looks like for founders and why it is not just about long hours
  • How Paul and Chris balance work, family, routines, and hobbies through different seasons

It’s an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about fragility, resilience, and the genuine investment it takes to build something that thousands of people rely on every day.
