EP5 – Inside the 2025 OwnerRez Retreat: Voice, Growth, and Leveling Up
In Episode Five, Paul and Chris reflect on the 2025 OwnerRez company retreat at Tanque Verde Ranch and the deeper conversations it sparked about growth, culture, and what it means to truly level up. They discuss how a fully remote team builds a shared voice, why maturity requires intentional systems, and how AI is reshaping not just how we work, but the pride we take in our work, creativity, and what it means to be authentically human.
You’ll hear about:
