The Other Owner
The Other Owner is a podcast about what it really takes to run a business with the person you share your life with. Hosted by Todd and Alex Hess, co-owners of a family painting company, each episode digs into the honest, messy, and rewarding reality of being business partners and life partners at the same time—dividing roles, navigating conflict, making big decisions together, and keeping both the company and the relationship healthy. Whether you're already running a business with your spouse or just curious how couples make it work, pull up a chair and hear it from the other owner.
