What started as a podcast about self-improvement has grown into something bigger: honest conversations about life, growth, ambition, relationships, careers, money, health, setbacks, and everything that comes with trying to become a better version of yourself.

Each week, Edgar and Alex sit down and talk about what they're experiencing, learning, questioning, and working toward in real time. Some episodes get deep, some are funny, and some are simply two best friends catching up on life, but growth is always at the center of the conversation.

There are no perfect answers and no finish line. Just two friends navigating life, sharing what they learn along the way, and continuing to grow one episode at a time.

This week, Alex and Edgar dive into a conversation about comparison, expectations, and the challenge of finding happiness while constantly wanting more out of life. What starts with fall weather, hiking, hunting, and the idea of exploring new places turns into a much deeper discussion about relationships, personal growth, success, and whether the things we spend so much time chasing are actually what we need.

That leads into a bigger question: What if what you're looking for is something you already have? Edgar shares his perspective on appreciating the life you've built instead of constantly searching for something better. Alex reflects on how easy it is to overlook the people and experiences closest to you, only to recognize their value once they're gone. Together, they wrestle with finding the balance between being grateful for the present and staying ambitious enough to keep growing.

Later, the guys look back at how their perspectives have changed since starting the podcast. What once felt like a straightforward message about working harder, starting businesses, and chasing bigger goals has evolved into something more complicated. They discuss why personal stability matters, how changing careers doesn't always go according to plan, and why there might not be one right path for everyone. Sometimes growth means taking a risk, and other times it means recognizing that you don't need to change everything about your life.

The conversation takes a lighter turn as Alex and Edgar discuss how social media has changed the way people communicate, why sending Instagram reels has practically replaced actual conversations, and how counterfeit luxury watches and sneakers reveal just how far people will go to project an image of success. They explore how the people you surround yourself with, admire, and compare yourself to can shape the person you eventually become.

Toward the end, Alex shares the story behind an unexpected VIP experience at a UFC event in Salt Lake City. What started as a simple invitation from a mentor turned into a reminder of something his godfather told him years ago: sometimes it's not about what you know, but who you know. From maintaining relationships long after leaving a job to seeing how business partnerships create unexpected opportunities, the experience brings the conversation back to the importance of genuine connections.

Episode 185 is a conversation about learning to appreciate what you have without losing the desire to grow, questioning the expectations you place on yourself, and recognizing that success doesn't always look the way you imagined it would. Sometimes the next step isn't about chasing something bigger. It's about understanding what actually matters, appreciating the people around you, and realizing that the life you're searching for might already be taking shape.

This week, Alex and Edgar reflect on how quickly life moves and what happens when you become so focused on progress that you forget to actually enjoy where you are. What starts with fall weather, old memories, money, and the responsibilities that come with getting older turns into a much bigger conversation about purpose, environment, opportunity, and figuring out what you actually want from the next chapter of your life.

Alex opens up about realizing that even when he is doing everything he is “supposed” to do, life can start feeling like a checklist. Work, the gym, responsibilities, and constantly thinking about the future can leave very little room to simply enjoy the present. That leads the guys into a conversation about purpose and whether having more money, more freedom, or even unlimited time would actually make life better if you had nothing meaningful pulling you forward.

Later, the guys question whether goals always need to be clearly defined. Sometimes a goal gives you the direction you need to start, but once the habits are built, unexpected opportunities can take you somewhere better than the original plan. They talk about the importance of staying curious, building relationships, recognizing opportunities, and being prepared when the right door finally opens. A connection might get you into the room, but you still have to be ready when you get there.

That idea carries into work and the skills we collect along the way. Alex shares why he intentionally volunteered to train people at his previous job and how leadership, influence, communication, and relationships can matter just as much as simply being good at your job. Edgar looks back at a former boss who wanted to teach him enough to eventually run his own shop, a lesson that continues to shape how he thinks about employees and business today.

Toward the end, both guys start questioning where their current paths are actually leading. After nearly a decade in sales, Alex wonders whether it is time to start building an entirely new set of skills and eventually combine them into something bigger. Edgar shares his own recent deep dive into where his business and career could realistically be five years from now, including an unexpected idea involving a dealer’s license and buying and selling high-end trucks.

Episode 184 is a conversation about staying hungry without forgetting to live, building skills without knowing exactly where they will lead, and having the courage to periodically question the path you are on. You may not always need to know exactly where you are going, but staying curious, taking action, and being ready when opportunities appear can take you somewhere you never planned to go.

This week, Alex and Edgar catch up on where life has been taking them lately, from the challenges of building a career and creating opportunities from nothing to childhood dreams, motorsports, business, and the patience required to build something meaningful.

Alex opens up about reaching the three-month mark at his new job and realizing how different it is to generate opportunities from people who were never looking for help in the first place. Rejection, timing, networking, and learning when to change your approach all lead into a bigger conversation about growth. How long do you stay somewhere before deciding it is time for something new? And how do you know whether you are being patient or simply getting comfortable?

Meanwhile, Edgar has been getting deeper into a world he never expected to be part of. After attending the grand reopening of Utah's West Desert motorsports track, he shares what it was like being surrounded by high-end cars, business owners, industry connections, and people he has watched online for years. What starts as a conversation about racing quickly turns into childhood dreams, networking, Formula 1, simulators, and the strange feeling of realizing that something you once watched from a distance is suddenly happening right in front of you.

That idea carries into a deeper conversation about success and how long worthwhile things actually take. Whether it is building a business, transforming your body, advancing your career, or developing a skill, the results rarely come as quickly as you want them to. Five years can sound overwhelming when you are standing at the beginning, but you do not have to accomplish five years of work today. You just have to show up today and do it again tomorrow.

Later, Edgar looks back at the automotive skills that eventually became his business and shares his bigger vision of one day creating an all-in-one customization shop. That leads the guys back to where it all started: old cars, junkyard trips, salvaged speakers, Edgar's Eagle Talon, and the teenage projects that seemed insignificant at the time but ended up shaping a much larger part of his life.

Episode 183 is a conversation about patience, purpose, opportunity, and the small decisions that quietly compound over time. The path rarely looks impressive while you are building it, but years later, you may realize those ordinary days were the ones creating the life you once imagined.

This week, Alex and Edgar catch up after another fast-moving week and somehow find themselves talking about everything from county fairs and sneaker culture to wild animals, near-death experiences, technology, and just how quickly life seems to be passing by.

The episode starts with Alex’s trip to the Salt Lake County Fair, where carnival rides bring up an interesting relationship with fear. Sometimes pushing yourself through something uncomfortable can prove that the fear was mostly in your head, but other times, avoiding unnecessary risk might just be common sense. That conversation quickly expands into airplanes, supercars, wrong-way drivers, and the uncomfortable reality that life can change in a matter of seconds.

Things lighten up with fair food, café de olla, Costco hot dogs, farmers markets, and the nostalgia that can come from something as simple as tasting chamoy for the first time in years. From there, Alex reflects on getting rid of old clothes and possessions he has held onto because of the memories attached to them. The guys talk about learning to let things go, how their style has changed with age, and why the sneaker market and fashion in general feel completely different than they did just a few years ago.

A planned end-of-summer hike then sends the conversation into the wilderness. Bears, mountain lions, moose, and bison lead Alex and Edgar to debate how they would actually react face-to-face with a dangerous animal. It is easy to imagine what you would do from the safety of a podcast studio, but fear, adrenaline, and a six-foot distance from a mountain lion might tell a very different story.

As the episode winds down, the conversation turns toward something they have both been feeling lately: time is moving incredibly fast. At 15, being 30 felt like another lifetime. Now they are here, and somehow it just feels like life. That realization raises a bigger question. When another 10, 20, or 50 years have passed, will you be happy with how you spent them?

Episode 182 is a conversation about fear, nostalgia, change, growing older, appreciating the present, and accepting that time is going to move whether you are ready for it or not. You cannot slow it down, but you can make sure you are actually living while it passes.

This week, Alex and Edgar take a trip through the past while reflecting on how much life, money, technology, and even they themselves have changed along the way.

The conversation starts with something as simple as the price of a haircut before turning into a bigger discussion about inflation and how different adulthood looks financially compared to the world they grew up in. Salaries that once provided a comfortable living do not stretch nearly as far, homes are more expensive, interest rates have changed, and waiting for things to magically get better is not much of a strategy. The guys talk about focusing on what you can actually control, from increasing your income and developing new skills to finding the right balance between saving for tomorrow and actually enjoying your life today.

From there, the episode takes a nostalgic turn. Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, yard sales, loose change, RC cars, childhood toys, and the excitement of getting something new bring back memories of a time when a few dollars could feel like a fortune. That nostalgia leads into stories about growing up, getting into trouble, spending entire days outside, and the small moments with older siblings and family members that can stick with you decades later.

Looking back also raises a bigger question: how much of who we become is shaped by the people, places, and opportunities around us? Edgar reflects on scholarships that did not work out, while Alex looks back on a factory injury and a job rejection that could have sent his life in a completely different direction. Neither knows what the alternative path would have looked like, but they agree that sometimes what matters most is not what happens to you, but what you choose to build from it.

The guys also reflect on friendships, getting older, and how much harder it becomes to maintain a social life when work and responsibilities take over more of your time. That leads into a debate about working from home, the freedom it gives you, the isolation that can come with it, and why the environment you choose to live and work in can quietly shape your life more than you realize.

Episode 181 is a conversation about nostalgia, money, childhood, missed opportunities, friendships, and the environments that shape us. You may never know where the other path would have taken you, but you can always decide what to do with the one you are on.

This week’s episode is about as fresh as it gets. Alex and Edgar sit down late Sunday night, just hours before the episode is set to release, for a conversation about family, unexpected detours, getting older, and learning to adapt when life refuses to go according to plan.

Alex shares why the podcast had to be pushed back after an unexpected death in the family brought everyone together in Morro Bay, California. Between the viewing, funeral, and time spent with family, the trip becomes a reminder of how quickly life can change and how moments that bring people together can come from circumstances you never would have chosen.

The trip takes another unexpected turn when a delayed flight leaves Alex and his family stranded in Phoenix overnight. What could have simply been a frustrating travel day turns into more time together, new food, a trip to the Desert Botanical Garden, and another reminder that sometimes you just have to make the most of wherever life puts you.

That experience leads into a conversation about flying, turbulence, and the irrational fears that can take over when you realize you are thousands of feet in the air with absolutely no control. The guys talk about plane crashes, surviving your worst fears, and why loving travel sometimes means accepting the anxiety that comes with it.

Edgar also gives an update on life after getting engaged and explains why the relationship somehow feels different even though, on the surface, not much has changed. With conversations about marriage, wedding plans, and the future becoming more real, the guys get into family names, tradition, and what it means to carry something forward into the next generation.

Toward the end, the guys reflect on how quickly the year has gone by. Edgar is approaching 31, Alex’s younger sister is reaching driving time, and nieces and nephews who once felt like little kids are suddenly becoming teenagers. They realize they are now the adults giving younger people the same advice they once ignored: enjoy where you are, because life starts moving faster than you expect.

Episode 180 is a spontaneous conversation about family, change, fear, money, growing older, and adapting to whatever season of life you find yourself in. Life rarely goes exactly according to plan, but sometimes the detours are what remind you to appreciate the people around you and the stage of life you are in right now.

This week, Alex and Edgar get into one of those conversations that starts casually and quickly turns into a much bigger question: when life is going well, how do you know if you should keep pushing for more or actually slow down and enjoy what you’ve built?

After getting back on the track at Utah Motorsports Campus and reconnecting with his childhood dream of racing cars, Edgar opens up about questioning what he wants the next chapter of his life to look like. Business is going well, he’s engaged, and new opportunities continue to open up, but that creates a different problem. When there are multiple paths you could take, how do you know which one is actually right?

The guys talk about ambition, working smarter instead of harder, five and ten-year goals, and the reality that every decision comes with some form of sacrifice. Alex shares the idea that sometimes there is no perfect choice. You simply have to decide which regrets you are willing to live with while focusing on the things you can actually control.

That leads into a conversation about looking backward instead of always forward. Both Alex and Edgar realize that many of the things they once wanted are already part of their lives today, raising an important question: how often do we actually stop long enough to appreciate what we spent years working toward?

From there, the conversation shifts toward technology, scams, and social media. They discuss how AI can be used to manipulate people, why social platforms are so difficult to put down, and what constantly consuming short-form content may be doing to our attention spans.

Alex explains why he has intentionally stepped away from posting so much of his life online after realizing he was spending vacations thinking about what to share instead of actually enjoying the moment. Edgar shares his own experience becoming increasingly disconnected from social media, and the guys talk about comparison, validation, relationships, preserving memories, and why taking a picture does not mean it needs to be posted.

Episode 179 is a conversation about ambition, uncertainty, technology, memories, and learning to be present. Sometimes growth is not about doing more. Sometimes it is recognizing how far you have already come and deciding what you actually want the next chapter of your life to look like.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off by reflecting on their conversation with Don from Don’s Garage and what it really takes to keep pushing when you’re building something from the ground up. They talk about the grind behind entrepreneurship, why hard work alone does not guarantee success, and how business, relationships, family, and life circumstances can all affect whether something ultimately works out.

That conversation takes an unexpected turn into divorce, business ownership, and what happens when the thing you built becomes one of the biggest assets on the table. From there, Edgar flips the conversation completely and officially shares some big news: he’s engaged.

Edgar breaks down his last-minute trip to Maui, carrying the ring around without Ale knowing, and how a spontaneous stop along the Road to Hana turned into the perfect proposal. He also talks about why the surprise mattered to him, what being engaged feels like now that it’s official, and why there may never be a “perfect time” for major life decisions like marriage, family, or taking the next step.

Of course, the episode takes plenty of turns along the way. The guys talk expensive colognes, golf, Hawaii waves, swimming, luxury stores, project cars, and why some hobbies can become serious money pits.

Later, the conversation shifts toward money, convenience, and the balance between saving for the future and actually enjoying the life you’re working so hard to build. Edgar debates whether it is finally time to replace his aging truck instead of continuing to pour time and money into repairs, while Alex shares the painful conclusion to his month-long mattress saga that ended with him paying more anyway.

They also discuss the hidden cost of always choosing the cheapest option, why time can sometimes be more valuable than money, and how easy it is to give other people advice that you are not following yourself.

Episode 178 is a mix of business, relationships, money, travel, hobbies, and one major life update, all centered around the same question: what is the point of working toward a better life if you never allow yourself to actually enjoy it?

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Don, owner of Don’s Garage and Mobile Services, to talk about turning years of mechanical experience into a growing business and what it really takes to build something of your own.

Don shares how his interest in cars started at a young age, eventually leading him into transmission work, automotive school, and more than a decade in the industry. What began as side jobs for friends and family slowly grew into Don’s Garage, first out of a small garage in West Ogden and now into a business that has reached the point where his full-time job is starting to get in the way of its growth.

The conversation dives into the reality behind that growth. Don talks about working his regular job during the day and then taking mechanic calls at night, on weekends, and even during lunch breaks. He shares why he rarely says no to an opportunity, how small jobs can turn into lifelong customers, and why young people trying to start a business should focus on learning the craft before chasing the money.

Of course, running a mobile mechanic business also comes with some wild stories. Don tells the guys about rescuing a cat trapped inside a dashboard after police couldn't get it out, helping stranded travelers with 10 dogs after another mechanic left them stuck for days, and taking roadside calls that sometimes mean working just feet away from freeway traffic.

From there, things get even more interesting. Don shares the story behind a wrecked Jet Ski he bought that had been involved in a fatal accident, his plans to bring it back to life, and his obsession with anything that gets the adrenaline going. That leads into trash car racing, where Don, his wife, and his dad race reinforced junk cars around a muddy oval while trying to push competitors off the track.

The episode also explores how Don has used social media to grow his reputation. By posting raw videos, going live during repairs, and showing customers exactly what goes into the work, he has built trust in an industry where mechanics are often viewed with skepticism. Some customers now specifically ask him to record their repairs because the behind-the-scenes transparency has become part of the Don’s Garage experience.

Whether you’re building a business, working toward eventually leaving your job, interested in cars, or just enjoy hearing stories from someone willing to take the calls nobody else wants, this episode is packed with lessons, laughs, and a look inside the grind behind Don’s Garage.

]]> Welcome to Episode 177 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Don, owner of Don’s Garage and Mobile Services, to talk about turning years of mechanical experience into a growing business and what it really takes to build something of your own.

Don shares how his interest in cars started at a young age, eventually leading him into transmission work, automotive school, and more than a decade in the industry. What began as side jobs for friends and family slowly grew into Don’s Garage, first out of a small garage in West Ogden and now into a business that has reached the point where his full-time job is starting to get in the way of its growth.

The conversation dives into the reality behind that growth. Don talks about working his regular job during the day and then taking mechanic calls at night, on weekends, and even during lunch breaks. He shares why he rarely says no to an opportunity, how small jobs can turn into lifelong customers, and why young people trying to start a business should focus on learning the craft before chasing the money.

Of course, running a mobile mechanic business also comes with some wild stories. Don tells the guys about rescuing a cat trapped inside a dashboard after police couldn't get it out, helping stranded travelers with 10 dogs after another mechanic left them stuck for days, and taking roadside calls that sometimes mean working just feet away from freeway traffic.

From there, things get even more interesting. Don shares the story behind a wrecked Jet Ski he bought that had been involved in a fatal accident, his plans to bring it back to life, and his obsession with anything that gets the adrenaline going. That leads into trash car racing, where Don, his wife, and his dad race reinforced junk cars around a muddy oval while trying to push competitors off the track.

The episode also explores how Don has used social media to grow his reputation. By posting raw videos, going live during repairs, and showing customers exactly what goes into the work, he has built trust in an industry where mechanics are often viewed with skepticism. Some customers now specifically ask him to record their repairs because the behind-the-scenes transparency has become part of the Don’s Garage experience.

Whether you’re building a business, working toward eventually leaving your job, interested in cars, or just enjoy hearing stories from someone willing to take the calls nobody else wants, this episode is packed with lessons, laughs, and a look inside the grind behind Don’s Garage.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for another wide-ranging conversation that starts with Edgar’s last-minute trip to Maui and quickly turns into a discussion about the future, business, confidence, family, and what kind of life they actually want to build.

After answering some last-minute questions from a friend, the guys dive into where they see themselves by 2030, how much life can change in just a few years, and the difference between dreaming big and actually putting in the work. They also talk about business competition, recognizing opportunities, and why successful people and companies can get left behind when they become too comfortable.

Later, Alex reflects on more than a decade in the gym and how fitness has become about much more than appearance. The guys discuss confidence, discipline, self-image, and how improving yourself can change the way you show up in relationships, work, and everyday life.

Of course, there are plenty of detours along the way. Alex recaps taking his family to see The Odyssey in IMAX, including sneaking his dad a Pacifico into the theater, while Edgar shares his failed attempts to catch a movie all weekend. They also talk streaming subscriptions, family traditions, sneakers, travel, and why movie theaters might finally be making a comeback.

Toward the end, the conversation becomes more reflective as they talk about traveling with their parents while they still have the opportunity, appreciating time with family, and the slower pace of life outside the United States. Alex shares why Croatia left such a strong impression on him and why visiting Rome made him think about how much his mom would love experiencing it for herself.

Whether you’re thinking about your future, trying to build more confidence, creating something of your own, or simply figuring out what a good life looks like, Episode 176 has something for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for what starts as a simple weekend recap but quickly turns into one of their most reflective conversations yet. What begins with stories about paddleboarding, gym sessions, and catching up with old friends unexpectedly evolves into a discussion about gratitude, work-life balance, homelessness, addiction, and the importance of appreciating the life you already have. Along the way, they somehow end up talking about Battlefield style airsoft battles, movie theaters making a comeback, and why Episode 175 feels like a milestone worth celebrating.

The episode opens with both hosts reflecting on how busy life has become. Alex shares why life has recently felt like one long checklist, while Edgar talks about entering a new season where slowing down has actually made both his business and personal life better. That conversation naturally expands into finding balance, recognizing how quickly time passes, and why intentionally stopping to "smell the roses" might be one of the hardest but most valuable habits to build.

As the conversation unfolds, the guys dive into one of the deeper topics they've explored in a while after Alex shares what he's been seeing during his daily commute through Salt Lake City. They discuss homelessness, addiction, trauma, and whether people are often much closer to difficult circumstances than they realize. From personal family stories and sociology to debating whether housing alone can solve homelessness, the conversation becomes an honest exploration of empathy, responsibility, and why some of society's biggest problems rarely have simple solutions.

Of course, it wouldn't be an Endless Growth episode without plenty of unexpected detours. The guys recap Alex's weekend paddleboarding trip, debate whether it's worth paying more for faster shipping, discuss upcoming podcast guests, celebrate reaching Episode 175, talk about IMAX theaters and *The Odyssey*, discover massive Battlefield style airsoft events happening in Ogden, laugh about a bizarre Ross gift card encounter, and somehow turn an entire section of the episode into an hour long conversation about homelessness.

Whether you're trying to find a healthier balance between work and life, appreciate what you already have, understand people from different walks of life, or simply want to hear two friends have one of their most honest conversations yet, Episode 175 has something for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar start by recapping the end of the FIFA World Cup before the conversation unexpectedly turns into one of their deepest discussions yet on business, entrepreneurship, opportunity, and what it actually takes to build something meaningful. Along the way, they somehow end up talking about amateur MMA fighters, surviving on deserted islands, Utah quicksand, and why luck might be one of the most misunderstood ingredients behind success.

The episode kicks off with Alex sharing updates from his new job in accounting and finance. What starts as a story about qualifying leads quickly turns into a behind-the-scenes look at how businesses really operate. From cash flow forecasting and live KPI dashboards to sitting in on meetings with experienced CFOs, Alex begins to realize just how much happens beneath the surface of successful companies. That naturally leads into a conversation about entrepreneurship, building great teams, and why the best businesses aren't built by one person trying to do everything alone.

As the conversation unfolds, the guys reflect on how their perspectives have changed over the years. They discuss giving up on dreams versus adapting them, why purpose matters more than simply collecting a paycheck, how accountability shapes productivity, and why running a business often requires far more sacrifice than most people realize. They also explore whether networking, preparation, and simply putting yourself in the right rooms might create what most people casually call "luck."

Of course, it wouldn't be an Endless Growth episode without a few unexpected detours. The guys recap UFC fights, laugh about a real estate agent competing in amateur MMA, debate survival strategies if they were stranded on an island, learn that Utah actually has quicksand, and somehow end up discussing the single item they'd bring if everything went wrong.

Whether you're thinking about starting a business, trying to build a career with purpose, looking for opportunities that other people overlook, or simply wondering if you'd survive longer with a knife, a lighter, or a backpack full of canned soup, Episode 174 has something for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar go from trying to save money on mattresses and truck tires to breaking down some of the craziest scams in history, questioning how much companies are really marking things up, and eventually wondering whether AI might know them better than they know themselves.

The episode kicks off with Alex giving another update on settling into his new place. Between stacking a washer and dryer, building a cat door, and hunting down the exact SKU numbers to avoid overpaying, Alex realizes he may be entering a new stage of adulthood. That same obsession with finding a deal leads him to save hundreds on a new mattress, while Edgar shares how a nearly $4,000 quote for truck tires turned into less than half the price after doing some research.

From there, the conversation takes a questionable turn. The guys dive into Home Depot receipt scams, pricing glitches, fake online stores, and some of the most unbelievable cons ever pulled. They break down the man who supposedly sold the Eiffel Tower, the origins of the Ponzi scheme, and how massive frauds can operate for years without anyone realizing what's happening.

Later, things get deeper as the guys talk about wanting more free time, only to realize that freedom can feel strangely uncomfortable when you're used to always having somewhere to be. They reflect on gratitude, needing structure, appreciating how far you've come, and why humans have apparently been struggling to get out of bed since the days of Marcus Aurelius.

The episode wraps up with Alex asking ChatGPT to identify his biggest flaws. The answer hits harder than expected, calling out his tendency to optimize before executing, mistake preparation for progress, and constantly chase certainty. That leads to a bigger question: if AI knows your routines, decisions, weaknesses, and patterns, could it eventually understand you better than you understand yourself?

Whether you're trying to save money, questioning how you spend your time, learning to appreciate how far you've come, or wondering if your AI already knows a little too much about you, Episode 173 has something for you.

This week, Alex gives an update on life after training at his new job, while Edgar talks about one of those days where absolutely nothing goes according to plan. Between learning how to cold call finance executives, surviving Salt Lake traffic, shopping for mattresses at 30, and wondering what might be hiding at the bottom of Pineview Reservoir, this episode goes in plenty of unexpected directions.

The episode kicks off with Alex sharing what it has been like finally getting out of training and working independently. He explains why he learns better by putting in real reps, making mistakes, and adjusting along the way instead of sitting through hours of training modules. That leads to a deeper conversation about using AI to build better workflows, asking stronger questions, and why getting good at sales requires being willing to sound bad before you sound confident.

Later, the guys realize turning 30 apparently means spending weekends comparing couches, bed frames, and mattresses. Alex explains why mattress shopping feels like a scam, what makes a good salesperson stand out, and why choosing the right bed becomes much more complicated when two people have completely different preferences.

As always, the conversation keeps moving. The guys revisit the time Alex accidentally camped on private property and woke up surrounded by hunters with crossbows, talk about failed water skiing attempts at Bear Lake, and discuss plans to drain Pineview Reservoir for repairs. Naturally, that leads to theories about sunken boats, hidden valuables, metal detectors, and the YouTube video they could make searching the bottom.

The episode wraps up with Fourth of July drone shows, F-16 flyovers, Salt Lake's crowded gyms, impossible parking, two-hour waits for ramen, and the growing realization that city life comes with just as many frustrations as conveniences. 

Whether you’re starting a new job, learning through trial and error, adjusting to city life, or officially reaching the age where mattresses become interesting, Episode 172 has something for you.

This week, Alex lets us know how his new job is going, while Edgar returns from an unforgettable trip to Boston for the World Cup. Between adjusting to new routines, trying to afford a house in today’s economy, watching France dominate from just feet away, and questioning what comes next for the podcast, this episode covers a little bit of everything.

The episode kicks off with Alex sharing how his first week at the new job is going and why starting over feels much different this time around. That leads to a bigger conversation about getting older, caring less about what other people think, building routines, and why having systems in place can make everything from saving money to staying disciplined much easier.

From there, the guys dive into the current economy, $777,000 homes, zero-percent financing, and the reality that making more money means very little if you spend everything you earn. They debate renting versus buying, why so many people struggle to save, and whether the version of “normal” everyone is waiting for is ever actually coming back.

Later, Edgar takes us through his trip to Boston for the World Cup. From incredible seats just feet away from the field and watching France win 4-1 to exploring Boston, eating way too much food, nearly seeing the French national team, and finding out IShowSpeed and Channing Tatum were at the same game, the trip quickly became one of his most memorable experiences.

As always, the conversation goes in plenty of unexpected directions. The guys talk about $30,000 World Cup tickets, the death of sneaker reselling, Edgar’s questionable clothing subscription, Alex’s exploding iPhone, Utah’s rapid growth, and whether The Endless Growth Podcast itself might be ready for a revamp.

Whether you're adjusting to something new, trying to build better systems, or just looking for a conversation that somehow connects the World Cup, Episode 171 has something for you.

This week, Alex officially says goodbye to his twenties, moves into a new apartment in Salt Lake City, prepares for his final day at work, and somehow realizes that turning 30 comes with a lot more than just a birthday. Between moving trucks, empty apartments, Father's Day, relationship conversations, dealership frustrations, and dreams for the future, this episode becomes one long conversation about what it actually feels like to be entering a completely new chapter of life.

The episode kicks off with Alex celebrating his 30th birthday in the least glamorous way possible: hauling boxes, driving the biggest U-Haul he's ever rented, sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and learning very quickly that being an adult mostly means constantly assembling furniture and making trips to Lowe's. Along the way, the guys share stories about family helping with the move, birthday dinners that changed at the last second, Father's Day celebrations, and the strange feeling of officially leaving their childhood hometown behind.

As the conversation unfolds, Alex reflects on wrapping up his final week at his current job before starting a completely new career. What starts as funny stories about working from a phone hotspot and spending the last days networking instead of working turns into a bigger conversation about timing, taking chances, and realizing that sometimes the opportunities you almost miss end up being the biggest blessings.

Later in the episode, the guys dive into everything automotive. Edgar vents about frustrating dealership experiences, proper tire rotations, and why paying premium prices doesn't always mean premium service. That naturally spirals into one of the longest rabbit holes of the episode as they debate electric vehicles versus gas cars, survival vehicles, off-road builds, Ford Raptors, Chevy Blazers, side-by-sides, and whether buying expensive toys eventually requires buying even more expensive toys.

Of course, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected detours. They compare Costco and Wayfair furniture, debate California King beds versus standard Kings, laugh about bunk beds, discuss the realities of furnishing a first apartment, and swap stories about growing older, difficult neighbors, relationship communication, and learning when to stand up for yourself without completely crashing out.

As always, the episode ends on a more reflective note. Alex talks about intentionally building stronger friendships, the importance of networking, why Salt Lake offers a different kind of opportunity than Ogden, and how every major life transition feels uncomfortable until it slowly starts feeling like home.

Whether you're entering a new decade, moving somewhere unfamiliar, starting a new career, or simply trying to figure out your next chapter, Episode 170 is a reminder that growth rarely happens when life feels comfortable.

This week, Alex and Edgar navigate one of the most emotional episodes they've ever recorded as they talk through loss, major life changes, new beginnings, and the strange reality that life rarely slows down when everything seems to happen at once.

The episode begins with Edgar sharing the heartbreaking story of saying goodbye to his French Bulldog, Nala, after a sudden spinal injury left the family with an impossible decision. What starts as a conversation about emergency vet visits quickly becomes a deeper discussion about grief, quality of life, loving your pets enough to let them go, and why sometimes the hardest decision is also the most compassionate one.

As the conversation shifts, Alex shares one of the biggest updates of his life. After months of interviews, uncertainty, and career changes, he officially accepts a new job in Salt Lake City. The guys break down everything that happened behind the scenes, including a surprising mistake on the offer letter, why speaking up earned Alex an extra $5,000, and the importance of advocating for yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.

With both hosts entering new chapters, they reflect on what it means to move into your thirties, start over in a new city, build new routines, and embrace the discomfort that comes with growth. From moving boxes and apartment logistics to joining a new gym and building new connections, the conversation becomes less about moving locations and more about moving forward in life.

Of course, it wouldn't be an Endless Growth episode without a few unexpected rabbit holes. The guys dive into World Cup ticket prices, Boston travel plans, whether Mexico or the U.S. deserves to win it all, UFC's historic White House event, organizing closets, laundry systems, household chores, networking, hiring employees, and whether paying someone to mow your lawn is actually buying back your time.

Throughout the episode, one theme continues to surface: life doesn't wait. Sometimes you're celebrating a new opportunity while grieving a loss at the exact same time. Growth isn't always exciting, and change isn't always comfortable, but learning how to keep moving forward anyway is part of the process.

Whether you're grieving a loved one, starting a new career, moving into a new chapter of life, or simply trying to figure out what's next, Episode 169 is a reminder that growth often happens during the moments when life feels the most uncertain.

This week, Alex and Edgar catch up on everything from AI taking over the future, frustrating career pivots, and moving out of childhood homes to water shortages, weird sprinkler fish stories, mattress shopping, and why growing up feels a lot stranger than expected.

The episode kicks off with a conversation about the World Cup, DoorDash giving away millions in credits, and why Alex somehow found himself rooting for France strictly for the food rewards. But as always, a casual topic quickly spirals into bigger conversations about trends, identity, and why sometimes being different feels more natural than following the crowd.

Things take a more reflective turn as Alex opens up about preparing for his final weekend living in Ogden before moving to Salt Lake City. What starts as simple moving talk turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about childhood neighborhoods, family homes, nostalgia, and the weird emotional reality of realizing certain chapters of life are officially over.

Somehow, the conversation then shifts into Utah drought problems, water restrictions, and one of the most random stories of the episode: people allegedly finding fish guts inside secondary water sprinkler systems. The guys debate whether Utah could eventually become more like Arizona, talk about data centers draining resources, and unpack the strange balance between caring about the future while feeling like most problems are completely out of your control.

Later in the episode, Alex gives a major update on his job search and opens up about losing confidence in selling marketing after seeing a client spend tens of thousands of dollars with little to show for it. That leads into one of the deeper conversations of the episode as the guys break down marketing psychology, why most ads fail, creating demand versus capturing demand, and how consumer behavior actually works behind the scenes.

Of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without a bunch of random detours. The guys debate ceramic coatings versus car wraps, dealership upsell scams, Costco mattress recommendations, fears of used furniture, overthinking hotel beds, relationship compromises, and whether AI is slowly becoming everyone’s therapist.

As always, the conversation gets unexpectedly personal. Alex reflects on career uncertainty, learning how to stop chasing things that don’t fit, the importance of networking, and realizing that maybe growth is less about becoming someone new and more about figuring out who you already are.

Whether you’re navigating change, rethinking your career, fascinated (or terrified) by AI, or simply trying to figure out your next move in life, Episode 168 is a reminder that sometimes the most important conversations happen in the middle of complete chaos.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for one of their most honest life update episodes yet, covering everything from burnout, business growth, and job market frustrations to childhood nostalgia, changing mindsets, and learning how to stay optimistic when life feels uncertain.

The episode kicks off with chaos on both sides. Alex shares the reality of juggling work while preparing for house showings after learning the place he currently lives in is being sold, complete with packing up cats and sitting in parking lots waiting for strangers to walk through his home. Meanwhile, Edgar opens up about the overwhelming pressure of balancing Endless Auto Styling, side work, and looming deadlines after the business unexpectedly hit its best month ever.

What starts as a simple catch-up quickly turns into a deeper conversation about ambition, stress, and the weird reality that success often creates even more pressure. Edgar reflects on overcommitting, learning to let go of expectations, and why sometimes life works better when you stop trying to control every outcome.

Later in the episode, Alex gives a brutally honest update on his current job search. From awkward Zoom interviews and hiring managers yawning mid-conversation to intense multi-round interview processes, networking strategies, and getting rejected after doing everything “right,” the guys unpack how competitive and confusing the modern job market really feels. Alex also shares the system he has been building to stay organized during the process, including a free job tracking tool he created to help people manage applications, contacts, follow-ups, and interview pipelines without losing their sanity. If you're job hunting and want to check it out, you can find it here: https://job-tracker-alexisnunez96.replit.app/

The conversation also takes some unexpected turns as the guys reflect on immigrant parents, childhood memories, Hot Wheels collections, Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, GameCube nostalgia, Power Rangers, Toy Story, and the strange realization that growing older changes the way you see both people and life itself.

Whether you’re chasing a new opportunity, feeling stuck in transition, overwhelmed with responsibilities, or just trying to figure things out one step at a time, Episode 167 is a reminder that growth rarely feels comfortable and sometimes life humbles you before it rewards you.

This week, Alex and Edgar finally unpack their Memorial Day California trip, giving a full behind-the-scenes breakdown of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and San Diego, complete with unforgettable food spots, hilarious mishaps, nightlife chaos, and the strange emotional feeling that comes when a great trip starts coming to an end.

The episode kicks off with the guys flying out of the tiny Ogden Airport for the first time, debating whether it’s actually worth skipping Salt Lake for convenience. What starts as simple travel talk quickly turns into stories about sketchy airplane turbulence, expensive Ubers, waking up next to the ocean in Santa Monica, and the reality of what Los Angeles actually feels like compared to the image people build in their heads.

Things quickly take a turn when Alex accidentally leaves his wallet inside a Waymo self-driving car. What starts as a cool futuristic experience turns into a surprisingly stressful scavenger hunt involving customer support, tracking down the exact vehicle, and wondering whether his wallet had disappeared for good. The guys also reflect on losing valuables while traveling and why vacation mode somehow makes people forget everything.

Food becomes a major part of the conversation as they break down some of the best meals of the trip, from incredible Mediterranean halal food and unforgettable breakfast spots to seafood on the Santa Monica Pier, ramen recovery meals, and hidden restaurants that somehow end up becoming core memories. Along the way, they compare Los Angeles vs. San Diego food, debate whether hype culture has died in places like Fairfax, and talk about how certain places simply lose their magic over time.

Later in the episode, the trip shifts into pure chaos. Edgar battles one of the worst nights of the vacation after unexpectedly strong Long Islands at a club called The Bungalow, while Alex somehow manages to lose his phone right after already losing his wallet. The guys share stories about nightlife, bar hopping sober, random lounges with live music, freezing beach nights, and one unforgettable Lyft driver whose glowing lights and loud music somehow became one of the funniest memories of the trip.

As always, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected detours. The guys talk about self-driving technology, Meta glasses for capturing memories, Petersen Automotive Museum highlights, Fast & Furious cars, why vacations hit differently with good company, and the bittersweet feeling of realizing a trip is ending while already feeling nostalgic for moments that just happened.

Whether you love travel stories, random adventures, food recommendations, nightlife mishaps, or simply hearing honest conversations between friends trying to enjoy life while figuring things out along the way, Episode 166 is one you won’t want to miss.

This week, Alex and Edgar catch up before heading out on their trip, covering everything from marathon weekends and apartment hunting to moving stress, aging bodies, interesting Ogden legends, and the uncertainty of major life transitions.

The episode kicks off with travel prep chaos as Edgar searches for luggage after his old suitcase finally gives out, while Alex realizes he may have spent years overpacking for trips. What starts as simple vacation talk quickly turns into stories about airport baggage hacks, travel frustrations, and why some drives feel therapeutic while others feel absolutely miserable.

Things take an unexpected turn when the guys reflect on supporting their girlfriends through the Ogden Marathon. Alex shares how eye-opening the experience was after realizing people travel from all over the country to compete, complete with tracking chips, strict race rules, and runners casually maintaining insane five-minute mile paces. What seemed like “just running” quickly became something much deeper about discipline, accomplishment, and pushing yourself farther than you thought possible.

Later in the episode, Alex gives a major update on selling his family home after unexpectedly receiving four offers. The conversation turns into a surprisingly honest breakdown of real estate, inspections, difficult buyers, apartment hunting in Salt Lake, and the weird emotional reality of leaving behind a chapter of life that has quietly meant more than expected. They also get into the struggle of moving, expensive pet fees, and whether cats actually deserve the bad reputation landlords give them.

As always, the conversation takes plenty of random detours. The guys debate movie theater popcorn addictions, falling asleep in theaters, expensive furniture purchases, Samsung appliance horror stories, surviving earthquakes, and the unforgettable local Ogden personalities everyone somehow has a story about.

Whether you’re navigating change, stressing about the future, moving into a new chapter, or just trying to keep up with life as it comes, Episode 165 is a reminder that nobody really has it all figured out and maybe that’s the point.

This week, Alex and Edgar catch up on everything from anniversary plans and apartment hunting to travel, aging, career setbacks, and the weird realities of getting older.

Alex opens up about celebrating his anniversary while balancing the chaos of house showings, searching for a future place with his girlfriend, and figuring out what actually matters when moving in together. From apartment deal breakers and mattress shopping to the emotional side of leaving familiar chapters behind, the conversation dives into the strange mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with major life transitions.

Later in the episode, Alex shares disappointing news after not getting a job opportunity he had been preparing heavily for. Instead of spiraling, the conversation shifts into handling rejection, staying resilient, and the mindset changes that happen when life humbles you a little. They reflect on confidence, negativity, personal growth, and how easy it is to get caught up in frustration when the future feels uncertain.

As always, the episode takes plenty of unexpected turns. The guys talk about girlfriends training for races, future camping plans, UFC nights with friends, World Cup trips, Austin barbecue disappointments, AI misinformation getting harder to spot online, and whether getting older just means your body starts randomly cracking at the gym.

Things get especially entertaining when Alex tells the painfully humbling story of officially becoming the person he used to judge after accidentally running out of gas while trying to prepare for a UFC night at home. What starts as an annoying inconvenience unexpectedly turns into a bigger reflection on patience, attitude, and taking accountability during stressful moments.

By the end of the episode, the conversation becomes less about bad luck, job setbacks, or random life inconveniences and more about perspective. Whether it’s rejection, growing pains, getting older, or simply feeling stuck for a moment, Episode 164 is a reminder that growth usually happens somewhere in the middle of life feeling messy, uncertain, and completely unpredictable.

Edgar returns from a six-day trip to the US Virgin Islands and shares everything from brutal travel days and airport lounge experiences to beach hopping, ferry rides, sunset sails, and relaxing resort life. What starts as a normal vacation recap quickly turns chaotic after a rental car accident leaves them dealing with police reports, insurance headaches, and thousands of dollars in unexpected costs while still trying to enjoy the rest of the trip.

The conversation dives into the reality of traveling long distances, revisiting places for a second time, and how different vacations feel when you already know what to expect. Edgar talks about exploring St. Thomas and St. John, seeing luxury yachts and island nightlife, and the strange contrast between relaxing paradise vibes and stressful real-world problems suddenly hitting out of nowhere.

As Edgar breaks down the accident story, the episode shifts into a bigger conversation about handling pressure, staying calm during stressful situations, and learning how important documentation and preparation can be when things go wrong unexpectedly. Instead of letting the situation completely ruin the trip, he reflects on trying to stay level-headed and move forward despite the frustration.

Later in the episode, Alex opens up about major life changes happening behind the scenes. He talks about the emotional process of the house he grew up in being put up for sale, preparing for open houses, temporarily relocating with the cats, and the weird feeling of having strangers walk through a place connected to so many memories.

The conversation also touches on career transitions, uncertainty about the future, and the pressure that comes with trying to improve your situation while life feels unstable at the same time. Alex reflects on leaving behind familiar chapters, pursuing better opportunities, and trying to navigate a season of change without fully knowing what comes next.

By the end of the episode, the conversation becomes less about vacations or setbacks and more about adapting in real time. Whether it’s dealing with unexpected problems, major life transitions, or uncertainty around the future, the episode centers around continuing to move forward even when life feels messy, stressful, and unpredictable.

Alex and Edgar start this episode by reflecting on their recent guest conversation and what it really means to bring value to the podcast. What begins as a simple recap quickly turns into a deeper conversation about consistency, intention, and the behind-the-scenes reality of building something from the ground up.

From there, the episode shifts into everyday life, including a stressful vet visit that turns into a reminder of responsibility, unpredictability, and how quickly things can change when you’re not expecting it. What seems like a random story turns into a broader reflection on priorities and handling real-life pressure.

As the conversation continues, Alex opens up about career transitions, feeling undervalued, and the reality of navigating work environments that don’t always align with long-term growth. This leads into a deeper discussion around taking action, knowing your worth, and why so many people feel stuck without a clear direction.

The episode also dives into the rapid shift happening with AI and technology, comparing it to the early days of the internet. Alex and Edgar break down why this moment is full of opportunity, but also why it requires awareness, adaptability, and a willingness to evolve.

Toward the end, the conversation becomes more reflective. They talk about comparison, feeling behind, and the pressure of watching others succeed while questioning your own path. Instead of giving surface-level advice, they break it down honestly, focusing on purpose, consistency, and building your own version of success over time.

By the end of the episode, everything ties back to one core idea: growth isn’t linear, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. It’s about taking action when things feel uncertain, staying consistent when it’s uncomfortable, and trusting that the process is building something bigger behind the scenes.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Lance, a retired police officer with over two decades of experience, to talk about what life in law enforcement is really like behind the badge.

Lance shares how he originally got into policing for the retirement benefits, but quickly found himself immersed in a career that was anything but predictable. From his very first call involving a fatal accident to years spent working with some of the most dangerous inmates, he opens up about how the job reshaped the way he sees people, trust, and the world around him.

The conversation dives into the realities most people never hear about. Lance breaks down what officers actually deal with on a daily basis, from chaotic domestic situations to cases that stay with you long after the job ends. He shares intense stories involving child neglect, unpredictable encounters, and moments where things can escalate in seconds with no warning.

The guys also explore the mental side of the job, including how constant exposure to high-stress situations can make officers more cynical and how emotions from one call can carry into the next. Lance explains why respect during a traffic stop matters more than people think, and how small interactions can completely change the outcome.

From there, the conversation shifts into DUI laws and modern enforcement challenges. Lance shares why DUI laws exist beyond just punishment, the reality of repeat offenders, and how legal loopholes can sometimes change the outcome of serious cases. They also discuss the gray areas around impairment, and why proving someone is under the influence isn’t always as straightforward as people assume.

The episode balances heavy moments with lighter ones, from wild high-speed chases to unexpected acts of kindness from the community, showing both sides of a career most people only see from the outside.

The episode closes with reflections on retirement, identity, and what it’s like to step away from a career that constantly keeps you on edge. Whether you’re curious about law enforcement, interested in real-life stories, or want a deeper perspective on situations we all see but rarely understand, this episode offers a raw and honest look into a world most people never experience.

Once again, thank you, Lance, and thank you, everyone, for listening - your cohosts

Alex and Edgar kick things off with a real, in-the-moment conversation about work, income, and the reality behind it all. What starts as a simple check-in quickly turns into a deeper look at how unpredictable things can be, especially when you’re responsible for everything behind the scenes.

From there, the episode flows into everyday life experiences, including a recent hike that sparks a conversation about routines, discipline, and how easy it is to fall in and out of good habits. What seems like a simple story turns into a deeper reflection on consistency and mindset.

As the Q&A segment begins, the conversation shifts into reflection. Alex and Edgar break down their experiences in Q1, what they learned, and how they’re approaching Q2. They talk about navigating slow seasons, preparing for growth, and figuring out how to stand out in competitive environments.

One of the most unique moments in this episode comes when they flip the script and call a friend (Geo) live on the podcast, bringing in a real-time perspective on growth, new opportunities, and adapting to a new environment.

Toward the end, Alex and Edgar reflect on balance, burnout, and the importance of stepping away when needed. They talk about how even things you enjoy can start to feel like work, but once you show up and get into it, the energy always comes back.

By the end of the episode, everything ties back to one core idea: growth isn’t just about doing more, it’s about knowing when to push, when to slow down, and how to stay consistent through both.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off with a completely raw and unfiltered moment, breaking down the small behind-the-scenes details of recording, AI audio, and how even something as simple as a clap can lead to bigger realizations. What starts as a random observation quickly sets the tone for an episode that feels real, unscripted, and fully in the moment.

As the conversation unfolds, they dive into work ethic, discipline, and what it really looks like to push through when things get busy. Edgar shares what it’s like running on little to no sleep while still showing up and getting the job done, leading into a deeper conversation about energy, drive, and the mindset behind staying consistent even when it’s not convenient.

From there, the episode shifts into everyday life experiences, from car meets and local culture to buffet stories that somehow turn into reflections on habits, self-control, and how people approach value in different ways. What seems like simple, funny moments turn into subtle lessons about behavior, discipline, and awareness.

Toward the second half of the episode, the conversation becomes more nostalgic as Alex and Edgar revisit childhood memories, growing up, and the things they got into as kids. They reflect on discipline, mistakes, and the difference between how they were raised versus how they might approach things in the future. It becomes a deeper look at maturity, perspective, and how those early experiences shape who you become.

By the end, the episode ties together themes of growth, responsibility, and self-awareness, showing how even the most random conversations can lead to meaningful insights.

If you enjoy real conversations that blend humor, nostalgia, and personal growth, this episode is for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar start off with a simple conversation about backpacks, old school trends, and the random things that can instantly take you back to a different season of life. What begins as a nostalgic discussion about one strap bags, school binders, and growing up turns into a bigger reflection on childhood, school, curiosity, and how certain memories stay with you long after the details fade.

As the episode unfolds, the conversation shifts into personal growth, ambition, and what really pushes someone to lock in. Alex and Edgar talk about school struggles, learning lessons that do not always come from the classroom, and the moments in life that force people to mature, adapt, and start taking their future more seriously. 

Later on, they dive into money habits, daily comforts, and the mindset behind appreciating the small things. What starts as a discussion about saving a few dollars turns into a deeper conversation about discipline, intentional living, and how the way you treat small decisions can eventually shape the bigger ones. From coffee and convenience to phones, showers, cars, and power, they reflect on just how much modern life depends on systems most of us barely think about until they are gone.

Toward the end of the episode, the conversation gets more reflective as Alex and Edgar talk about aging, family, and the emotional side of watching time move faster. They touch on younger siblings growing up, parents getting older, the quiet realization that certain moments never come back, and how your perspective on life changes as you get closer to new stages of adulthood.

If you have ever thought about how fast life changes, what really builds resilience, or how nostalgia, struggle, and growth all seem to be connected, this episode is for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off with a conversation around music, nostalgia, and the way certain songs can instantly take you back to a different time in life. What starts as a discussion about new music releases turns into a deeper breakdown of the music industry, including first week sales, artist perception, record deals, sampling, and how much of the business is really driven by numbers, ownership, and image.

Later on, the conversation moves into mindset, routines, and the different versions of yourself that show up in different environments. Alex opens up about how he sees himself at work versus at the gym, the awkwardness of social interactions, protecting your energy, and why certain spaces feel more personal than others. That leads into a real discussion about social batteries, helping others, kindness, and the balance between being there for people while still protecting your own peace.

As the episode keeps unfolding, Alex and Edgar get into bigger topics around aging, mortality, longevity, and what gives life meaning in the first place. They talk about how fast time moves, whether living forever would actually be a gift, and why having a limited amount of time may be the very thing that creates urgency, purpose, and growth.

To close things out, the conversation turns toward leadership, family, respect, and personal responsibility. They talk about leading by example, the kind of impact you leave on the people around you, and why growth is not just about improving yourself, but about becoming someone who can positively influence your circle too. 

If you’ve ever thought about how music shapes your identity, how time changes your perspective, or what it really means to lead in your own life, this episode is for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off with a laid-back conversation about the shift into warmer weather and how small things like hearing sprinklers or the elotero bring back that feeling of summer. What starts as a simple seasonal check-in quickly turns into a deeper conversation around routines, sleep, and how even something as basic as temperature can affect your day-to-day performance.

From there, the conversation shifts into business, marketing, and career growth. Alex breaks down what he’s learning while applying for jobs, including how competitive the market is and how systems filter candidates before anyone even sees your resume. They also talk about outsourcing, hiring help, and the reality of working with agencies (both good and bad), and how easy it is for businesses to waste money without the right strategy.

Later on, things get more philosophical as they dive into modern business models, trends, and why certain ideas like giveaways and “selling the dream” work so well. It turns into a bigger conversation about psychology, attention, and how marketing continues to evolve in a world where everything is competing for your time.

The episode also touches on travel plans, hiking, and making the most of where you live. Alex reflects on how he could be a better host when people visit and how sometimes we overlook what’s actually around us. That leads into ideas for future trips, from local spots like Moab to bigger adventures that push you outside your comfort zone.

To wrap things up, Alex and Edgar get into a real conversation about career paths, discipline, and what it actually takes to build something meaningful. They talk about how sometimes your path chooses you, the importance of sticking with something long enough to get good at it, and the difference between being comfortable versus truly pushing yourself.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed by options, or just trying to figure out your next move, this episode is for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar start the episode catching up on life and work. Edgar shares the story of one of the longest work stretches he has ever pulled while finishing a truck wrap under an intense deadline. What was supposed to be a relatively simple project turned into nearly 40 hours of work across a single weekend, forcing him to push through exhaustion while still trying to maintain the quality he expects from his own name and business.

From there, the conversation moves into how we handle responsibility, focus, and distractions when life gets busy. Alex talks about a recent weekend spent improving his LinkedIn, rebuilding his resume, and trying to position himself for the next opportunity. That leads to a broader discussion about feeling stuck in life and how sometimes a single action can break the momentum of being stagnant.

The middle of the episode takes a more reflective turn. Edgar describes a strange experience visiting a small town nearby that made him feel like he had stepped back in time. The slower pace, older buildings, and quiet atmosphere sparked a conversation about nostalgia, modern culture, childhood environments, and the kind of world people might want their future kids to grow up in.

Later on, the conversation shifts toward entrepreneurship and the strange variety of ways people are building businesses today. Alex shares stories from his work about niche industries like sim racing software, app startups, and the interesting people he meets through sales conversations. It turns into a reminder that you never really know who someone is or what they are capable of until you take the time to talk with them.

The episode wraps up with a look back at the podcast itself. Alex and Edgar reflect on nearly three years of recording The Endless Growth Podcast, discuss the challenges of growing a show in a crowded content world, and talk honestly about where they might want to take it next.

This week, Alex and Edgar start with something simple: working from home. What begins as a reflection on the shift from office life to remote work quickly turns into a deeper conversation about motivation, social energy, and how much our environments shape the way we think and interact with others.

From there, the conversation drifts into friendships formed through work, the difference between coworkers and real friends, and how certain relationships naturally grow beyond the environments where they started. Along the way they revisit memories from gaming nights, childhood stories, and the social side of growing up in a time when hanging out could mean both playing outside and staying up late with a controller.

In the second half, the conversation moves into philosophy and perspective. Edgar shares a mindset he tries to practice daily: controlling only what you can control. Alex builds on that idea by exploring how much of life’s emotional impact comes from our interpretation of events rather than the events themselves. They discuss gratitude, mindset, and the uncomfortable realization that two people can experience the same situation and create completely different lives from it.

The episode wraps with lighter but thoughtful topics: tattoos and legacy, family traditions like cattle brands, the curiosity of exploring ancestry, and Alex’s recent effort to improve his Spanish.

As always, we appreciate y'all.

This week, Alex and Edgar start with a simple weekend recap that somehow turns into a full reflection on risk, health, identity, and the direction of your life. What begins with deep cleaning, returning Christmas gifts two months late, and trying to optimize a morning routine slowly expands into something much bigger.

A conversation about Heelys, childhood trends, and sliding across Home Depot floors shifts into stories about rats in New York, strange dreams about infestations, and how globalization quietly shaped the modern world. From tomatoes in Italy to diseases brought across continents, they zoom out and ask a bigger question: how much of what we think is normal is actually just the result of timing and geography?

The conversation then moves into gym culture, discipline, and self-image. Alex reflects on shifting from chasing aesthetics to chasing structure and identity. They discuss GLP-1 weight loss drugs, trends in extreme dieting, and how social pressure quietly shapes what we believe we want. 

In the second half, things get deeper. They talk about branching life paths, immigrant parents, zip codes, and how small decisions compound into completely different futures. They explore opportunity cost, fear of missing out, pivoting careers, and the tension between ambition and balance. 

If you have ever questioned your path, wondered whether you are optimizing the right things, or felt the weight of too many options, this conversation will resonate.

This week, Alex and Edgar start with a simple catch-up that moves from winter weather and Valentine’s plans into something deeper. A trip back to Moab sparks a reflection on time, memory, and how fast eight years can pass without you realizing it. What begins as stories about Delicate Arch parking chaos and the unreal views at Dead Horse Point turns into a bigger conversation about perspective and how revisiting old places forces you to confront who you were versus who you are now.

The heart of this episode centers on growth through change. Edgar opens up about stepping into a new role within his business after eight years of building Endless Auto Styling from a name written on a high school paper to a full operation with employees. They talk about risk, timing, and how sometimes you feel a shift coming before it actually happens. Luck, preparation, and opportunity collide in real time.

Alex and Edgar also dig into self-evaluation, mastery, and the uncomfortable early stages of learning anything new. They discuss why most people quit too early, why repetition builds confidence, and how becoming truly skilled at something creates leverage in life. There is an honest conversation about money, fulfillment, ambition, and the realization that success without balance can feel empty.

They wrap up by reflecting on aging, gratitude, and a powerful reminder that reaching another year is not guaranteed. The conversation lands on perspective, sleep, longevity, and the importance of appreciating where you are right now while still pushing forward.

If you have ever felt a shift coming, questioned whether you are behind, or wondered what mastery really requires, this episode will hit home.

Thank you for your time.

This week, Alex and Edgar settle into one of those conversations that starts light and slowly turns reflective, moving from hiking plans and outdoor hobbies to deeper thoughts about risk, habits, stress, and the way time quietly moves forward whether you act or not.

The episode begins with a talk about a spontaneous trip to Moab, and the different ways people chase that feeling of being alive, whether it’s running, hiking, biking, or exploring the outdoors. What starts as casual conversation turns into a bigger question about what kind of life you actually want to build, and how easy it is to drift if you never decide.

From there, the discussion shifts into ambition, business ideas, and the fear that keeps people stuck. Alex and Edgar talk about calculated risks, option paralysis, and how social media can make success look simple while hiding the years of effort behind it. They reflect on how uncertainty feels uncomfortable, but staying still for too long can be just as dangerous.

The heart of the episode lands on mindset and perspective. They talk about stress, expectations, and the tendency to live in the future instead of experiencing the present. There’s an honest look at anxiety, overthinking, and the discipline it takes to focus only on what you can control, even when life keeps throwing unexpected problems your way.

They wrap up by reflecting on consistency, three years of recording, and what it means to keep showing up even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.

As always, thanks for listening!

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Mohammad, a divorce and family law attorney who shares what really happens behind the scenes when marriages break down and what people often wish they had known before things reached that point.

Mohammad talks about his path into law, how family law ended up choosing him, and what it’s like advocating for clients in some of the most emotional and high-stakes moments of their lives. The conversation dives into how divorces actually unfold, the real costs people don’t always expect, and why preparation and early conversations can make a massive difference.

The guys also explore topics that don’t get talked about enough: the role of prenups, why financial expectations and lifestyle pressures often lead to conflict, and how social media and modern dating have changed relationships. Mohammad shares practical advice on how to recognize a good attorney, what discovery and mediation really look like, and why consulting early can protect people from serious long-term consequences.

From there, the conversation shifts into a bigger discussion about marriage itself. Despite seeing the worst cases, Mohammad explains why he still believes marriage is important, what healthy couples tend to do differently, and why trust, leadership, and clear communication can shape the direction of a relationship over time.

The episode closes with reflections on integrity, long-term goals, and Mohammad’s vision of eventually helping more people who can’t afford legal representation. Whether you’re curious about relationships, interested in law, or just want a raw and honest conversation about marriage in the modern world, this episode brings a perspective most people never hear.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for a conversation that starts casual and quickly turns inward, touching on discipline, relationships, burnout, and what it really means to feel like you’re moving forward even when nothing around you seems to change.

The conversation dives into risk, injuries, mortality, and the reminder that you only get one body, one brain, one shot. They reflect on how quickly life can shift, how repeated exposure to chaos can desensitize you, and why being intentional with your habits and decisions matters. It becomes a grounded discussion on awareness, self-preservation, and how being cautious doesn’t mean you’re scared to live.

The heart of the episode lives in relationships and self-awareness. Alex opens up about attachment styles, communication, reassurance, and the uncomfortable work that happens behind the scenes in healthy partnerships. They break down independence vs. connection, why over-communicating can sometimes be necessary, and how growth often means questioning your own patterns instead of blaming others.

They also dig into ambition, comparison, burnout, and the pressure of feeling “behind” while still knowing you’re blessed. From career uncertainty to identity being tied to the gym or work, the episode wrestles with the tension between wanting more and learning what “enough” actually means.

They wrap things up with reflections on curiosity, discomfort, small habits, and why growth doesn’t always look loud or viral. Sometimes it’s just asking better questions, staying consistent, and putting yourself slightly in the fire without living there.

]]> Welcome to Episode 149 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for a conversation that starts casual and quickly turns inward, touching on discipline, relationships, burnout, and what it really means to feel like you’re moving forward even when nothing around you seems to change.

The conversation dives into risk, injuries, mortality, and the reminder that you only get one body, one brain, one shot. They reflect on how quickly life can shift, how repeated exposure to chaos can desensitize you, and why being intentional with your habits and decisions matters. It becomes a grounded discussion on awareness, self-preservation, and how being cautious doesn’t mean you’re scared to live.

The heart of the episode lives in relationships and self-awareness. Alex opens up about attachment styles, communication, reassurance, and the uncomfortable work that happens behind the scenes in healthy partnerships. They break down independence vs. connection, why over-communicating can sometimes be necessary, and how growth often means questioning your own patterns instead of blaming others.

This week, Alex and Edgar settle into another one of those conversations that feels light at first, then quietly turns into a real reflection on work, aging, relationships, and how life starts shifting when you least expect it.

They kick things off with updates on changing routines, recording schedules, and the idea of taking the podcast outside, literally. From hiking pods to creative experiments, it turns into a discussion of consistency, motivation, and what it feels like to put in work without seeing results right away, plus the reality of early-year slowdowns when everyone’s focused on budgets and taxes.

Then the episode swings into nostalgia. Alex shares a moment that made his teenage self proud, pulling up to see Krewella years after first discovering their music. That story turns into a bigger convo about concerts, what performers really make, aging out of certain scenes, and why spontaneous nights hit different as you get closer to 30.

From there, things get deeper. They talk about friendships fading without beef, staying connected without social media, and why adult relationships survive on intention instead of convenience. It’s a real conversation about vulnerability, communication, ego, and what actually strengthens the people around you.

They wrap it up with classic Endless Growth randomness, from travel planning and hot spring horror stories to sleep struggles, caffeine habits, and the weird reality of getting older while still trying to enjoy life.

If you’ve ever felt caught between who you were, who you’re becoming, and who you thought you’d be by now, this one will hit home.

This week, Alex and Edgar settle into another one of those conversations that starts casual and slowly spirals into something way deeper than expected.

They kick things off with real-life updates, including a follow-up on Alex’s cat health scare and why sometimes paying for peace of mind is worth it. From there, the episode jumps into a full Snowbasin breakdown, from icy runs and crowded lifts to day drinking on the mountain, tailgating culture, and the strange feeling of being drunk while flying downhill on a snowboard.

Things take a sharp turn when Edgar shares a painful and oddly relatable weekend mishap, which opens the door to a broader conversation about reassurance, anxiety, and knowing when to take things seriously versus letting them pass.

The middle of the episode turns into a wild mix of nostalgia and randomness. They bounce through old reality TV shows, tattoo culture, police body cam footage, and the fine line between entertainment and knowing your rights. What starts as jokes slowly turns into a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about public space, legality, and how easily situations can go wrong.

The back half becomes a full-on car, insurance, and consumer awareness masterclass. Edgar breaks down selling his BMW, dealing with banks and liens, shady rebuilt titles, insurance lowball tactics, and the scary reality of unsafe repairs hiding behind clean paint. Alex reacts in real time as Edgar explains what most people never learn about inspections, emissions, safety checks, and how easily buyers can get burned.

They wrap it all up with lessons on slowing down, thinking ahead, and why understanding how systems work, whether it’s cars, insurance, or life in general, gives you a massive edge.

This week, Alex and Edgar ease into the new year with a conversation that starts light and casual and slowly turns into one of those unexpectedly deep, real-life breakdowns.

They kick things off talking about New Year energy, routines, and why the calendar flip feels meaningful even when life stays the same. That leads straight into the chaos of New Year’s gym season, packed weights, overcrowded machines, and the unspoken rules of surviving a gym that suddenly feels twice as full. Alex shares his strategy for adapting without wasting time, while Edgar breaks down how different schedules attract completely different crowds.

From there, the episode takes a weird but hilarious turn when Edgar explains a strange Tonal gym coincidence that feels like the universe nudging him to finally lock back in. They talk motivation, being all-in versus half-in, and how life priorities can quietly derail good intentions.

The back half turns into a full-blown car and money conversation. Edgar walks through selling his BMW, dealing with lowballers, banks, liens, warranties, and why pricing something high can actually be the smarter move. Alex reacts in real time as Edgar breaks down how dealerships really make money, how financing quietly crushes you over time, and why selling a car privately can feel like a part-time job.

They wrap it all up with a raw look at systems that feel rigged, the trade-offs between convenience and control, and why learning how things actually work changes how you move through life.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick off the first episode of the year with one of those conversations that starts as a simple check-in and somehow turns into a full breakdown of health, habits, and real-life adult problems.

Edgar opens up about getting sick and his no-nonsense routine for pushing through work while his body is trying to shut down. That turns into a surprisingly funny deep dive on cold meds, Mucinex, Vicks, sweating through the night, and whether vitamin C actually helps once you are already sick. They also talk about how people really get exposed, from shaking hands to breathing the same air, and why airplanes might be the ultimate sickness trap.

From there, the episode jumps into a flashback to Puerto Rico, where Edgar ended up getting COVID on the trip and had to power through with almost no medicine available. It is one of those stories that makes you appreciate feeling normal.

The back half turns into a full tire saga. Edgar finds a crazy Facebook Marketplace deal that derails Alex’s original plan, and it becomes a lesson in trust, timing, and finally taking care of the stuff you keep putting off. They wrap up with a real conversation about tire warranties, saving money, and staying safe on the road.

A laid back start to the year with real laughs, real stories, and the kind of random moments that end up sticking with you.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for a post Christmas check in that feels like one of those long conversations that starts casual and slowly turns reflective. They kick things off by recapping the holidays, easing back into the week, and sharing what it feels like recording just after Christmas with the year quietly winding down.

The episode takes a turn when Edgar tells a full breakdown of selling his Subaru, including a classic rookie mistake that almost derailed the deal. From rushing across town to forgetting the one document that actually matters, the story turns into a reminder that even when you know better, life still finds ways to humble you. Luckily, it all works out and sparks a conversation about timing, patience, and learning through small mistakes.

From there, the conversation drifts into movies, shows, and the way entertainment feels different depending on your mood and who you are watching with. That opens the door to nostalgia about cable TV, old channels, background movies, and how media consumption has completely changed.

The second half of the episode leans more introspective as Alex and Edgar talk about friendships, social confidence, and how relationships shift as you get older. They reflect on unexpected friendships, judging people too early, and the importance of being intentional with your time as life gets busier.

They wrap it up by looking ahead to 2026, sharing honest thoughts on self-discipline, mindset, relationships, and what it means to actually work on yourself instead of just talking about it.

A thoughtful, unforced way to close out the year.

This week, Alex and Edgar roll into a laid-back December conversation that starts with a new family addition and slowly turns into one of those episodes that covers everything without forcing it. Alex kicks things off by sharing the newest member of the household: a wild little gray and white kitten named Tommy. 

From there, Edgar breaks down a surprisingly solid Saturday night at the Titanic exhibition in Salt Lake City, including recreated rooms, real artifacts, and a cold room that hits way harder than you would expect. That sparks a bigger conversation about getting out of the house more, doing local experiences, and how easy it is to miss cool events if you are not actively looking for them.

Then the episode shifts into holiday mode with a rapid-fire run through Christmas shopping, gift ideas that actually work, and the honest truth about why gift cards, tools, and practical gifts might be underrated. Somewhere in the middle, they end up talking about tires as a dream gift, thrift stores, weird nostalgia trips, and how growing up changes what you consider a good time.

They wrap it up with a funny throwback to prepaid phones, texting costs, and the era of flip phones and T9, plus a final holiday send-off that feels like hanging with your friends right before the year ends.

This week, Alex and Edgar settle in for a December episode that starts light, funny, and relatable before unexpectedly diving into some of their most personal stories yet. From holiday slowdowns and last-minute Christmas shopping to debates over heated jackets and whether heated gloves are actually worth it, the episode opens with the everyday chaos of winter and the feeling that everyone is mentally checking out before the year even ends.

But things quickly shift when Alex shares a huge gym milestone and the rush that came with it, leading to a conversation about strength, plateaus, creatine, and the strange ways confidence shows up in the body and the mind. That energy sparks a deeper back-and-forth about aging, hair loss fears, genetics, and the weird insecurities men don’t always talk about.

Then the episode takes a nostalgic and unexpectedly intense turn as the guys revisit a childhood camping story involving airsoft guns, questionable supervision, and a full-on escape mission by the river. What starts as a funny memory becomes a real conversation about childhood moments that stick with us, how small experiences shape adult habits, and the strange ways we carry old fears into present life.

The episode wraps up with reflections on pain, injuries, ego in sports, and the temptation to say yes to things (like joining an indoor soccer league) that push you just far enough out of your comfort zone.

This week, Alex and Edgar ease back into the mic with stories, reflection, and a surprising amount of depth for an episode that starts with unpacked luggage and post-vacation laziness. From returning home after travel to trying to re-adjust to normal life, the conversation opens with humor and honesty about routine, rest, and how sometimes “getting back into life” is harder than the vacation itself.

That light start quickly turns into something bigger. Alex shares what visiting Alcatraz did to his perspective, not just historically, but mentally. From solitary confinement and the psychology of darkness to the idea of “use it or lose it,” the discussion explores how the brain responds to stimulation, structure, and meaning. The conversation expands into purpose, routine, and how easily things can deteriorate without intention.

From there, the episode takes a left turn into technology, the future, and the weird era we're living in. Waymo self-driving cars, AI-generated videos, deepfakes, and a world where truth is harder to verify spark conversations about trust, progress, and the unknown. What starts as jokes about buses and tint percentages evolves into bigger questions about risk, the future of work, and how fast innovation is reshaping everything.

If you’ve ever come home from a trip and felt different, questioned how fast life is changing, or wondered what the world will look like in 20 years, this one will hit home.

This week, Alex and Edgar reflect on how time seems to bend when you stay consistent. From reaching another milestone episode to recognizing how different life felt just ten episodes ago, the conversation opens with humor, nostalgia, and the quiet realization that entire seasons of life can shift before you even notice.

They then move into gratitude through the lens of health, aging, and the subtle reminders of how fragile the body truly is. Thanksgiving meals, nostalgic foods, cultural differences, and the evolving idea of comfort lead into deeper reflections on time, adulthood, and how fast the years seem to slip by.

As the episode unfolds, the tone shifts toward bigger questions. Market uncertainty, technological disruption, AI, generational change, and humanity’s obsession with the unknown all surface in the dialogue. From historical communication to modern information overload, they explore how every generation wrestles with its own version of uncertainty and transformation.

If you have ever caught yourself wondering where time is going, who you are becoming, or how to stay rooted in what truly matters, this episode will resonate.

This week, Alex and Edgar ease into the final stretch of the year with real talk about slowing down, shifting priorities, and what it feels like when life starts nudging you toward change. From family visiting and quiet work weeks to birthday reflections and the realization that Edgar is stepping into his thirties, the conversation opens with humor, nostalgia, and a few honest moments about how fast time is moving.

They then drift into the strange world of modern culture. New slang, viral trends, looks maxing, and the pressure to keep up with a generation that seems to speak a different language. What starts as jokes about feeling old slowly turns into deeper questions about vanity, self-image, discipline in the gym, and why the desire to improve can come from both insecurity and growth.

A surprise Q&A adds another layer as they explore what they would do with an unexpected $100,000, leading into conversations about freedom, investing, travel, and the difference between chasing comfort and building something meaningful. The episode closes with honest reflections on relationships, potential moves to Salt Lake, entrepreneurship realities, burnout, hiring struggles, and the emotional weight of returning to childhood places that shaped who they became.

It is thoughtful, grounded, funny, and raw in the way only Endless Growth can deliver. If you have ever questioned your direction, your pace, or the version of yourself you are becoming, this one will hit.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off with Thursday chaos, family traditions, and a real conversation about energy, burnout, and what it feels like to hold life together when the “monster” is punching back. Between supplements, schedules, and nostalgia about running their engines in the red, they get honest about balancing ambition with actually taking care of yourself.

From there, they jump into a big-picture question: what would life look like if you “made it” in five years? That sparks a deep dive into streaming, content creation, parasocial dynamics, and why being on-camera can feel like playing a character. Alex shares his early streaming attempts, Edgar talks about the appeal of work-based content, and together they explore what makes someone worth watching in a world that’s flooded with creators.

The conversation then stretches wide. Housing cycles, 50-year mortgages, generational wealth, and how our parents’ journeys shape our own. They compare growing up with beaters to kids now starting with nicer cars, talk about business late bloomers, and reflect on how easy times can create complacency while harder times push real growth. It’s money, psychology, opportunity, and timing all wrapped in their usual blend of humor and honesty.

And of course, it wouldn’t be an Endless Growth episode without a few detours. Phoenix heat waves, family stories, mammoth fossils in permafrost, Canadian mysteries, language quirks, the Lamborghini Countach, Alaska cruises, and why some tours hit harder than others. It’s reflective, curious, and unexpectedly deep in all the right ways.

This week, Alex and Edgar keep it extra fresh with a new Thursday recording cadence, then dive into real life momentum and mindset. Alex shares a five-week streak hitting his sales target and how he’s leveling up with optimization sessions so clients win long after launch. They unpack staying hungry when things are “good enough,” balancing career goals with mental, physical, and relationship health, and why discipline matters most when life feels smooth.

From there, the convo stretches into how people actually grow. Edgar talks sustainability in small business and the shift from solo grind to smart hiring. Alex explores habits, brains, and a new interest in Jung, while rethinking crypto through fundamentals instead of hype. Together they tackle money as freedom, avoiding get-rich traps, and the gap between research and execution. If you’ve ever planned a big move and stalled out, their take on keeping plans quiet and acting first will hit home.

They also get nostalgic and honest about school, trades, and real-world paths. Degrees that help, degrees that don’t, factory floors that teach hard lessons, and the full-circle wins that show up years later. It’s grounded, reflective, and funny in all the right places.

This week, Alex and Edgar blend real-life updates, relatable struggles, and grounded perspective. Alex walks through renewing his real estate license, sparking a convo about backup careers, discipline, and why some chapters are worth keeping open as life shifts. They trade stories from the field, including Utah’s surprising disclosure rules and how showings can turn into marathons.

Then it shifts to entrepreneurship and the small business grind. Edgar breaks down winter’s impact on detailing, last-minute workloads, and the smart pivots that keep revenue moving, like holiday light installs. They dig into procrastination, discipline, and why working well under pressure can become a double-edged sword.

Later, they go deeper on success, comparison, and the long game. Why early career stages feel slow. What people misunderstand about sales and business ownership. And why defining success for yourself is the only path that actually works.

Before wrapping, they lighten it up with Halloween plans, gym talk, gaming nostalgia, and a few honest lessons about mistakes, social burnout, chasing a 315 bench, and doing good without expecting anything back. It is an easygoing, reflective listen that feels close to home.

Before wrapping, they lighten it up with Halloween plans, gym talk, gaming nostalgia, and a few honest lessons about mistakes, social burnout, chasing a 315 bench, and doing good without expecting anything back. It is an easygoing, reflective listen that feels close to home.

This week, Alex and Edgar slow things down for a grounded, real conversation about time, health, and gratitude. The episode opens light with talk of Halloween parties, lasers, and UFO décor, then dives into why time seems to fly as we get older. They explore how routine makes life blur together, and how novelty, curiosity, and new experiences can help slow it back down.

From there, things turn reflective as the guys talk about adulthood, accountability, and the discipline that comes with structure. Alex shares how returning to the office reignited his focus after months of remote burnout, while Edgar talks about perspective and how mindset can change even the hardest weeks. They also touch on finances, uncertainty, and the importance of staying grounded when life feels unstable.

Later, the talk shifts to health and fitness. Alex opens up about consistency in the gym, supplements, and the battle between pre-workout highs and healthy habits. Edgar shares how his recent bloodwork taught him the value of yearly check-ins and how stress affects the body more than most people realize. Together, they break down how health is not just physical. It is emotional, mental, and deeply tied to how we handle pressure.

Before wrapping, Alex reflects on empathy as his “secret sauce” in sales and life. He explains how learning to really listen, whether to clients, friends, or yourself, can completely change the outcome of any interaction. The guys close with thoughts on discipline, goal-setting, and why action matters more than talking about it.

A calm yet thought-provoking episode that reminds you to slow down, check in, and appreciate where you are before chasing what’s next.

This week, Alex and Edgar dive into a wild mix of real-life stories, fears, and late-night reflections, all wrapped in spooky-season energy. The episode opens light-hearted with Halloween plans and nostalgia, then turns serious when Edgar recounts a real intruder incident at his shop. What starts as a strange night becomes a lesson in intuition, awareness, and gratitude for timing that could have gone very differently.

From there, the guys explore the psychology of fear, both the literal kind and the ones we carry inside. They unpack childhood fears, paranormal moments, and how growing up changes what scares us. Edgar and Alex talk about the “masks” we wear to fit in, impress, or hide insecurity, and how adulthood teaches you to finally take them off.

The conversation gets personal as they dig into failure, judgment, and the fear of putting yourself out there. Alex shares stories from his real estate days and how posting online felt like public vulnerability. Edgar reflects on why many people hold themselves back out of fear of being seen trying. Together, they break down how ego, comparison, and self-image keep people stuck, and what it means to finally just send it.

To close, the guys trace the roots of Halloween and Día de los Muertos, showing how ancient traditions that honored the dead evolved into modern celebrations of candy, costumes, and community. They round things out with horror movie talk, superstitions, and why adulthood changes how we experience fear.

This week, Alex and Edgar are back after their guest episode with Sean to catch up on life, business, and perspective. They kick things off by revisiting Sean’s fitness advice, from the truth about creatine and supplement myths to how daily consistency builds results far beyond the gym.

From there, the conversation flows naturally into franchise ownership, local versus corporate coffee culture, and why small businesses might be winning the authenticity game. Edgar reflects on balancing shop work and growth while Alex opens up about navigating a new job, learning curves, and the pressure of chasing stability in his late 20s.

The talk delves into real-life challenges, rising housing costs, when it’s worth taking a financial leap, and how couples manage shared goals through uncertain times. They explore the psychology of money, the myth of “perfect timing,” and how perspective changes everything when life feels heavy.

As fall settles in, the two talk about hoodie weather, holidays, and why slowing down can feel both peaceful and scary. Edgar shares lessons from running his business for six years, from adapting to seasonal cycles to staying grateful when things quiet down. The episode closes with stories that hit hard: a paralyzed customer who redefines resilience, Alex’s younger sister reminding him about mindset, and a shared realization that growth is really about mastering perspective.

From creatine routines to conversations about money, meaning, and gratitude. This episode is a reminder that success isn’t about pace; it’s about staying grounded while you grow.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Shawn, a longtime GNC franchise owner with over 20 years in the supplement and fitness world. Shawn shares how he and his wife went from corporate jobs to running four GNC stores across Utah, Nevada, and Oregon, and the lessons they’ve learned about leadership, training employees, and building trust with customers.

From there, the conversation dives into business ownership, employee retention, and what it takes to keep a remote store profitable in small-town America. Shawn opens up about the challenges of competing with Amazon, the power of face-to-face education in a digital world, and why consistent customer experience matters more than price.

The guys also explore gym culture and health habits: the truth about creatine, why protein and vitamins are the foundation, and why even the best supplement stack won’t work if your diet, sleep, and stress are out of balance. Edgar relates it to ceramic coatings and customer expectations, reinforcing that maintenance matters in business, fitness, and life.

The episode closes with reflections on discipline, prioritizing health as busy entrepreneurs, and finding ways to keep momentum even when motivation dips. Whether you’re into fitness, business growth, or just want a real look behind the scenes of running a franchise, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

This week, Alex and Edgar start with a shop update: Edgar just wrapped a massive BMW PPF job and dives into the behind-the-scenes reality of juggling add-ons, client schedules, and leaving “intentional gaps” in his calendar to stay sane. 

From there, the conversation expands: trips on the calendar, the psychology of paying for an experience at places like Javier’s, and how great restaurants engineer the moment, from table-side butter theatrics to photo-ready branding. They compare Ogden’s food scene and debate when to splurge on travel versus when to rough it to make the trip happen.

Then things get real. Alex opens up about moving out of his parents’ house, how it changed his relationship with them, and why getting uncomfortable is the rite of passage every young man needs. They talk about generational parenting styles, Hispanic moms who “love too much,” and why being spoon-fed too long leaves you unprepared for real life.

They close with a takedown of Instagram illusions, calling out the myth that business owners are all chilling on beaches while the real ones are grinding every day. Edgar reflects on working through the noise, setting his own goals, and why “less is more” has brought him more peace this year.

From luxury steaks to late-night grinds, this episode is all about finding balance between work and play, saving and spending, and comfort and growth.

This week, Alex and Edgar swap Peach Days stories: disappointing nachos, sketchy carnival rides, and a peach shake that was one sugar hit too many. The weekend recap quickly turns into a bigger reflection on how simple plans spiral into whole-night adventures and why those moments matter.

Then they get into the real meat: how people actually move up in life. Referrals vs. cold applications. Following up like you mean it. Becoming the self-starter who grabs the broom before being asked. They swap stories about layoffs, “trimming the fat,” and why researching your prospects before a sales call is the quiet cheat code that separates top performers from the pack.

The episode widens into mindset and identity: victim mentality vs. ownership, momentum as a muscle, and the danger of comfort. Edgar opens up about his dad’s leap from night shifts and brutal commutes to starting a small business, and how immigrant grit shaped their first-gen perspective. Alex reflects on showing up humbly at new jobs, never outshining the master (48 Laws), and building a reputation that actually earns opportunities.

To close things out, Alex and Edgar get personal: training on days you’d rather skip, using that discipline in journaling and reading, and leaning on music to flip the mental switch. They share how tiny systems, like burning calories on the bike, compound into big results. Their final message is clear: even if you’ve lost time, one to two intentional years can rewrite the future.

From fairgrounds to philosophy, Episode 129 is a playbook for taking initiative, betting on yourself, and honoring the people who paved your lane. Thanks for listening, and as always, let’s keep growing together.

This week, Alex and Edgar share a day of unexpected plans that started with squeaky brakes and ended with steaming bowls of pho in Murray. From car maintenance and spring rolls to afternoon drives through Salt Lake, their Sunday felt like stepping back into simpler times, just two friends riding with no agenda.

But the conversation doesn’t stop at fun and food. They dive into the meaning of Labor Day, tracing its roots to 1880s New York and remembering how Hispanic communities once boycotted work to show their impact. That sparks a bigger discussion about holidays, boycotts, and what it really means to take pride in your work.

From there, the talk shifts into memory, time, and growth: why childhood feels longer than adulthood, how habits can trap you in autopilot, and why new learning keeps the brain sharp. Alex reflects on Leonardo da Vinci’s relentless detail, the psychology of stories like the tortoise and the hare, and how science connects to his own journey of self-improvement. Edgar opens up about childhood passions for construction and cars, how those early interests shaped him, and why solving problems still brings him joy today.

At its heart, this episode is about reconnecting with each other, with the past, and with the parts of ourselves we often overlook. From pho noodles to philosophy, it’s a reminder that growth comes not just from chasing new goals, but from revisiting old dreams, asking deeper questions, and staying curious about the world around us.

This week, Alex and Edgar start lighthearted, trading stories about rainy days, moldy Christmas trees, and the eternal debate of how long to keep old boxes. But soon, their conversation shifts into the real costs of life: tariffs driving up everyday prices, billionaires turning towns like Jackson Hole into playgrounds, and why the middle class keeps getting squeezed.

From there, they dig into the game of money itself: ownership versus wages, why capital gains beat W2 taxes, and how investing, discipline, and living below your means can change your future. They contrast status symbols with true wealth, question the psychology behind brand loyalty, and unpack how comparison, whether to neighbors, friends, or historical figures, warps happiness in the social media era.

The episode does not shy away from personal stories either. Edgar breaks down the realities of car ownership, from overpriced dealership services to DIY fixes on BMWs and Rolls-Royces. Alex reflects on extended warranties, expensive lessons with Mercedes, and why financial awareness matters more than flexing designer goods.

At its core, this episode blends everyday frustrations, big picture economics, and timeless lessons about ego, self-discipline, and surrounding yourself with the right people. From boxes in the basement to billionaires in Wyoming, the conversation is raw, funny, and a reminder that growth starts with awareness and a willingness to play the right game.

This week, Alex shares a wild camping trip gone wrong, from late starts and crowded campsites to caffeine overloads, trespassing warnings, and an unexpected run-in with hunters. What was supposed to be a fun getaway quickly turned into a stressful lesson on spontaneity, patience, and knowing when to call it quits.

Meanwhile, Edgar kept things chill with UFC fights and a new Adam Sandler movie, which led to a debate about nostalgia, bloated budgets, and why some classics can never be replaced. From camping chaos to cinematic letdowns, the guys reflect on how much Utah has changed, rising costs of living, and the little comforts that make daily life bearable.

The conversation then pivots into growth, business, and mindset. Edgar opens up about working long hours, being booked solid until October, and why exclusivity makes his detailing business stronger. He compares it to Rolex scarcity and digs into how discipline and passion separate real fulfillment from toxic work culture.

In a special “five questions” segment, they go deeper, imagining dream days with unlimited money, challenging assumptions people make about them, sharing their most spontaneous moments (including an unforgettable Vegas trip), and unpacking the small mindset shifts that free you from caring what others think. From overcoming fears to embracing presence, this episode blends chaos, comedy, and reflection in true Endless Growth fashion.

This week, Alex and Edgar kick things off with smoky skies, nearby wildfires, and memories of campfire smells that were… less than pleasant. From small-town neighbors who turned empty lots into pop-up campgrounds to cinematic nostalgia over Transformers and Freaky Friday, they weave in laughs and personal stories about weekends at the movies and the simple comfort of a clean house.

The conversation then shifts into the grind, balancing work, gym sessions, and chores, and how reframing busyness into gratitude can change your outlook. Alex shares how his new sales job pushes him out of his comfort zone, from mastering prospecting and video pitches to reverse-engineering ad strategies. Edgar reflects on the hard truths of entrepreneurship, the risks of over-comfort, and why giving 100% matters in any role.

In a special “five questions” segment, they open up about proudest podcast moments, guests they’d love to interview, lessons from setbacks that became setups, and the rules they live by. From near-missed goals to unexpected growth, the episode blends candid reflections, career wisdom, and plenty of banter, reminding you that progress often happens when you least expect it.

This week, Alex and Edgar cover everything from fiery wing sauce to the science of rewiring your brain. They kick things off with weekend recaps, dog walks, hot wings at Wing Nutz, and a deep dive into why air fryers can be either magic or a total curse. From smokers and grilling patience to run-ins with day laborers outside Home Depot, they explore how everyday moments spark bigger conversations about work ethic, generosity, and trust.

On the road, the talk turns to traffic madness, road rage, and whether a Tesla’s autopilot could save both sanity and time. That flows into tech updates, self-driving trust issues, and how fast innovation changes our habits.

But the heart of the episode lies in five thought-provoking questions. They open up about battling self-doubt, finding motivation, and the role of neuroplasticity in lifelong growth. They share how big changes, like running a business solo or starting a new career, force adaptation, and why advice to their younger selves revolves around trusting the process and exploring widely.

With laughs, personal stories, and real-world reflections, this episode blends lighthearted banter with honest growth talk, leaving you entertained, inspired, and maybe a little hungrier for wings.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar open up about a topic most people avoid: What happens when life doesn’t go as planned?

They dive into a raw and honest conversation about infertility, surrogacy, and adoption, reflecting on the emotional and financial weight behind starting a family. From $50,000 surrogacy price tags to stories from the NICU, they explore what it really means to raise a child in today’s world and how trauma, addiction, and circumstance can shape a future before it even begins.

But the episode doesn’t stay heavy for long. They pivot into reflection mode, revisiting past podcast guests whose life journeys offered new lenses, like Thomas’s time in India or JJ’s deep dive into fitness. Along the way, they examine growth through conversation, unexpected takeaways, and how podcasting has reshaped their own communication and mindset.

On the business front, Edgar shares his regrets about a failed gym marketing deal, leading into a real talk about advertising ROI, word-of-mouth strategies, and the importance of knowing when to walk away. They also touch on the hidden lessons of hiring, referrals gone wrong, and how alcohol can reveal a person’s true nature, whether at parties or the workplace.

The episode closes with lighter stories and outdoorsy plans, from ripped shorts at 7-Eleven to off-roading trips, backpacking dreams, and the peace of being disconnected. Edgar geeks out over photography, fall transitions, and trying new detailing chemicals, while Alex reflects on financial discipline as a lifelong advantage.

If you’ve ever thought about family, questioned your business decisions, or just wanted to feel less alone in figuring it all out, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar reflect on how time feels like it’s speeding up and why the moments we overlook often become the ones we cherish most.

They kick things off with a discussion about nostalgia, memory, and why photos and ordinary weekends gain deeper meaning over time. From movie nights to missed sunsets, they explore how our brains assign value after the moment passes.

But they don’t stop there. The conversation shifts into growth mode as they tackle feedback, passive-aggressive habits, and the real power of being direct in both business and life. Whether it’s navigating awkward pitches on Instagram or deciding when to walk away from bad-fit clients, they share stories about standing firm, respecting time, and valuing authenticity.

The episode also dives into business strategy, from Costco samples and Super Bowl ads to building brand trust through repetition, visibility, and word of mouth. Edgar opens up about changes in his detailing business and how staying lean, premium, and intentional has kept him ahead during uncertain times.

They round things out with lessons on real estate, routines, and the cost of chasing freedom, reminding listeners that mastery takes time, risks carry weight, and life isn’t always about squeezing more hours out of the day but about using them wisely.

If you’ve ever felt like time’s flying by, struggled with saying “no,” or questioned whether your work is really aligned with your values, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar take a step back to reflect on content, discipline, and the way small habits shape big transformations.

They start by diving into their own YouTube rabbit holes, revisiting old content and laughing about the oddly specific algorithm recommendations that reveal what we’re really into. From luxury cars and woodworking videos to Roman history and financial hot takes, they explore how content consumption mirrors personal growth or distractions.

But the episode gets deeper. They unpack money decisions and status anxiety through a real talk on luxury cars, depreciation, and why most people don’t actually want what they think they want. Dave Ramsey makes an appearance, and so does the question: “Are you doing this for you or for everyone watching?”

They also get personal. From creating accountability without a boss or clients to regulating emotions and snapping out of bad moods, Alex and Edgar share stories of food disasters, mental resets, and staying sharp when no one’s watching.

Oh, and there’s a segment where ChatGPT fact-checks gym myths in real time.

If you’ve ever struggled with discipline, fought off self-doubt, or laughed at your own overreactions, this episode’s for you. It’s a mix of reflection, growth, and humor, just how we like it.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar dive into what it really means to live in the moment through stories of heatwaves, near-drowning experiences, and unexpected moments of reflection.

They kick things off with summer chaos: blistering Arizona heat, paddle-boarding sunburns, and thoughts on how cities cope with record-breaking temperatures. A wild visit to the Trevi Fountain sparks memories of travel, crowd control, and an unforgettable bird encounter.

But things get deeper. They open up about swimming fears, self-doubt, and why many adults feel ashamed for not knowing how to swim. As they explore the emotional weight of being a role model, they unpack impostor syndrome, homelessness, and the quiet burdens that often go unseen.

Listener questions take the episode global, from dream destinations like Egypt and Tokyo to the pressure of “achieving it all” before 30. From there, they reflect on lost pets, terminal illness, Marcus Aurelius, and the relentless speed of time.

If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head, this one’s for you. It’s a raw, layered conversation about presence, love, mortality, and making the most of the time we have.

After a few weeks away, Alex and Edgar return, and this episode marks a full return to storytelling, reflection, and perspective-shifting experiences.

Edgar kicks things off with his trip to Puerto Rico: from bougie resorts and unexpected ferry chaos to snorkeling with sea life and surviving rough waters on a boat. He opens up about the beauty, stress, and surprise moments that come with traveling off the beaten path and what it taught him about patience, discomfort, and being present.

Then, Alex shares stories from his European adventure, starting with culture shock in Croatia, navigating language barriers, and meeting his girlfriend’s grandparents. From the deep historical scars of Bosnia to the overwhelming crowds of Venice and the artistic awe of Florence and Rome, he unpacks how travel opened his eyes to a slower pace of life, real human connection, and the genius of history.

This isn’t just a travel recap; it’s an episode about growth through new environments, learning to let go of control, and gaining clarity by stepping outside the routine. If you’ve ever needed a reset, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar take a moment to pause, reflect, and share a big announcement: The podcast will be on a short break until June 30. But don’t worry, it’s all part of the process to reset, recharge, and come back stronger.

With upcoming trips to Europe and Puerto Rico, the guys dive into the excitement of new environments, different cultures, and the power of stepping away from the routine. From ocean views to cobblestone streets, this episode is filled with anticipation, gratitude, and the kind of wanderlust that fuels growth.

But it’s more than a travel episode. They go deeper, discussing the importance of unplugging from daily overstimulation, managing dopamine levels, and finding clarity in stillness. They reflect on how social media warps attention spans and why true focus often starts with disconnecting.

Along the way, they swap stories about stray cats, unexpected pet chaos, and memorable camping trips under the stars. They even get cosmic, reflecting on meteors, space, and the humbling perspective that comes from looking up.

Thank you for riding with us. Your support means everything, and we’ll be back soon with even more value, stories, and growth.
Until then, much love from your Endless Growth family.

]]> Welcome to Episode 117 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Edgar take a moment to pause, reflect, and share a big announcement: The podcast will be on a short break until June 30. But don’t worry, it’s all part of the process to reset, recharge, and come back stronger.

With upcoming trips to Europe and Puerto Rico, the guys dive into the excitement of new environments, different cultures, and the power of stepping away from the routine. From ocean views to cobblestone streets, this episode is filled with anticipation, gratitude, and the kind of wanderlust that fuels growth.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar open up about the uncertainty of today’s job market, sharing real talk about layoffs, job insecurity, and the pressure to settle. Alex reflects on the fear of going backward in his career, while Edgar reminds us that even the worst-case scenarios can be survived with the right mindset and experience.

But this conversation goes deeper than resumes and job titles. They dive into personal transitions, like breakups, emotional healing, and the messy path of self-discovery. Edgar shares the story of a friend ending a long-term relationship and how that pain turned into peace. From gym therapy to home makeovers, they explore how heartbreak can be fuel for growth.

The episode then pivots into productivity, personal reflection, and the subtle power of silence. They compare different work habits, discuss distractions, and even joke about noise-canceling headphones as a productivity hack. Edgar opens up about how being watched helps him focus more, and how kindness, even in conflict, can flip the energy in any space.

They also break down the complications of doing business with friends, dealing with jealousy, and navigating subtle resentment when success creates distance. Through stories of personal experience, they reflect on boundaries, professionalism, and the importance of staying grounded when life gets noisy.

Whether you’re rebuilding after a setback, learning to process pain, or trying to figure out who’s really in your corner, this episode is packed with honest reflections, life lessons, and laughs.

In this episode, Alex and Edgar dive into a mix of humor, storytelling, and real-life reflections. They start with a milestone check, celebrating 115 episodes and sharing how time has flown by. But it’s not all about numbers, they quickly get personal. Edgar opens up about a recent run of bad luck, from a chipped truck to a stubbed toe, and they share a laugh over how small mishaps can sometimes pile up.

The conversation shifts to relationships and milestones as Alex prepares for his three-year anniversary. They talk about how anniversary traditions evolve over time, the pressure around gift-giving, and how they plan to celebrate in Europe instead of exchanging gifts. 

But it doesn’t stop there. They tackle deeper topics like the ever-rising cost of housing, multi-generational living, and the challenges young adults face today in achieving financial independence. Alex shares how his dad bought their family home for $50,000 in 1997, a price that seems impossible now. Edgar reflects on how his family built wealth through real estate, and they explore why some people struggle to keep up.

The episode takes a turn towards mindset and business, where they explore the impact of hustle culture, social media’s toxic side, and the balance between ambition and mental well-being. They also share insights on investing, avoiding hype, and understanding how trends shape decisions.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, dealing with life’s curveballs, or trying to stay ahead, this episode is a relatable, unfiltered conversation full of laughs, lessons, and real talk.

This week, Alex and Edgar dive into the moments that defined their Easter weekend—and beyond. From working through burnout to hitting milestones in business, they reflect on what it takes to stay consistent when life feels like a grind.

Edgar shares how he's rebuilding structure in his detailing business after a hectic run of back-to-back projects. He talks about learning to pace himself, finding pride in his work, and how hitting five stars on Google wasn’t just a win—it was proof that quality and patience pay off. They break down real customer experiences, the cost of cutting corners, and why even small jobs deserve full effort.

The conversation expands into bigger topics—how economic slowdowns push people toward entrepreneurship, the myths social media sells about starting a business, and why having a “general plan” is more valuable than chasing perfect blueprints. They talk about the mental toll of financial stress, the silent pressure of adult responsibilities, and the tough conversations that happen when friendships shift or fade.

There’s talk of leadership—what it looks like when an owner checks out, how poor management kills culture, and why systems matter if you ever want to scale. They draw inspiration from past guest Jeff, recognizing that even seasoned entrepreneurs wrestle with team dynamics and burnout.

Whether you’re navigating slow seasons, rethinking your path, or trying to stay grounded through change—this episode offers honest insight, relatable moments, and a reminder that growth rarely comes without growing pains.

This week, Alex and Edgar reflect on their recent conversation with Jeff, a machine shop owner whose story continues to resonate. They unpack the mindset it takes to lead a team, stay deeply involved in your business, and balance ambition with presence. From custom dumbbells to midnight work sessions, Jeff's grind left a mark.

Inspired by that conversation, Edgar opens up about the reality of running two shops—working late to meet deadlines, struggling to find skilled help, and rethinking what growth really means. He shares how the current economy has shifted his hiring approach and why he's leaning back into building a team he can rely on.

Alex dives into the complications of tax season, real estate, and why understanding your financials matters more than ever. They talk S-corps, K-1s, depreciation, and the value of working with a professional—even if you’re used to figuring it all out yourself.

They also zoom out—touching on everything from the overwhelming negativity of the news cycle to how entitlement and laziness quietly take over when comfort becomes the default. There's talk of layoffs, the vape ban, and how small political changes hit local businesses hard.

This episode is full of real talk about building something meaningful—whether it’s a business, a home, or a mindset. From navigating high interest rates and house hacking, to reflections on friendship, purpose, and making moves when life feels stuck—Alex and Edgar keep it honest, grounded, and full of perspective.

Inspired by that conversation, Edgar opens up about the reality of running two shops—working late to meet deadlines, struggling to find skilled help, and rethinking what growth really means. He shares how the current economy has shifted his hiring approach and why he's leaning back into building a team he can rely on.

Alex dives into the complications of tax season, real estate, and why understanding your financials matters more than ever. They talk S-corps, K-1s, depreciation, and the value of working with a professional—even if you’re used to figuring it all out yourself.

They also zoom out—touching on everything from the overwhelming negativity of the news cycle to how entitlement and laziness quietly take over when comfort becomes the default. There's talk of layoffs, the vape ban, and how small political changes hit local businesses hard.

This episode is full of real talk about building something meaningful—whether it’s a business, a home, or a mindset. From navigating high interest rates and house hacking, to reflections on friendship, purpose, and making moves when life feels stuck—Alex and Edgar keep it honest, grounded, and full of perspective.

If you’re trying to level up, lead better, or just make sense of where you are right now—this one’s for you.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Jeff, owner of Elite Machine, for a powerful conversation about betting on yourself, building from the ground up, and the grit it takes to walk away from comfort in pursuit of purpose.

Jeff opens up about his journey from working long hours under empty promises to launching a machine shop with no formal training — just determination, late nights, and a loyal friend who believed in the vision. What started as machining parts in a garage at 2 a.m. turned into a full-fledged business fueled by hustle, sacrifice, and belief in doing things the right way.

This episode dives into the realities of entrepreneurship: learning through failure, taking calculated risks, and why mindset and loyalty matter more than flashy tools or fast success. Jeff shares raw stories of working 46-hour shifts, missing time with family, and the emotional moment his young son asked, “Why do you work so much?”

The conversation also explores the world of CNC machining, automation, and what it really takes to train a team without cutting corners. Jeff and Edgar break down the challenge of onboarding new hires, managing quality control, and the delicate balance between delegation and excellence.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, someone stuck in a dead-end job, or just curious about what it takes to build something from scratch—this episode will hit home.

Tune in as we talk shop, sacrifice, and the long road to owning your time.

Gratitude, ambition, and the daily battle with self-comparison—this episode dives deep into the mindset shifts that shape success.

Alex and Edgar start by reflecting on the power of gratitude, exploring how appreciating small wins doesn’t mean settling but instead fuels progress. They break down the struggle of balancing thankfulness with the drive to achieve more, especially in a world where social media constantly tempts us to compare.

Speaking of social media, they get real about how scrolling through highlight reels can make even the most accomplished people feel behind. Edgar shares a story about a hat entrepreneur’s rise to success, while Alex admits to spending too much time online, battling the urge to measure his progress against others.

But it’s not just about mindset—this episode also touches on business, real estate, and the power of taking action. They talk about the fear of market saturation, why timing and consistency matter more than the “perfect” idea, and how networking and visibility create opportunities most people overlook.

]]> Welcome to Episode 104 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

Gratitude, ambition, and the daily battle with self-comparison—this episode dives deep into the mindset shifts that shape success.

Alex and Edgar start by reflecting on the power of gratitude, exploring how appreciating small wins doesn’t mean settling but instead fuels progress. They break down the struggle of balancing thankfulness with the drive to achieve more, especially in a world where social media constantly tempts us to compare.

Speaking of social media, they get real about how scrolling through highlight reels can make even the most accomplished people feel behind. Edgar shares a story about a hat entrepreneur’s rise to success, while Alex admits to spending too much time online, battling the urge to measure his progress against others.

But it’s not just about mindset—this episode also touches on business, real estate, and the power of taking action. They talk about the fear of market saturation, why timing and consistency matter more than the “perfect” idea, and how networking and visibility create opportunities most people overlook.

From tax season headaches to snowy mountain adventures, Alex and Edgar are back with another packed conversation.

They kick things off by talking about how February’s flying by and how work has been slow but steady. Then, it’s all about taxes—how TurboTax can get overwhelming, why ChatGPT became a lifesaver for tricky tax questions, and how some people miss out on major credits, like the American Opportunity Credit, without even realizing it.

But it’s not all paperwork and deductions. Alex shares the story of his recent trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming—a weekend that almost didn’t happen because of a snowstorm. Thanks to Edgar letting him borrow his truck, the trip was saved, but the drive through snow-covered roads was no joke. Once there, they hit the slopes at Snow King Resort, took a sleigh ride through an elk refuge, and stumbled into a high-end fur store selling $30,000 jackets—talk about feeling out of place!

The episode takes a reflective turn when they discuss the lottery, breaking down the wild odds of winning and why people play anyway. It’s less about the money and more about the hope—the daydreaming that comes with imagining life after hitting the jackpot.

From AI transforming industries to personal stories about navigating life’s curveballs, this episode is a mix of laughs, lessons, and real talk about growth in every area of life.

Tune in for a conversation that’ll make you think, laugh, and maybe even appreciate the little things a bit more.

They share behind-the-scenes moments of what it takes to keep the energy high—even on tough days—and how they treat the podcast like a business, even before monetization.

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with strength coach and personal trainer JJ for an in-depth conversation on fitness, discipline, and the journey of self-improvement—both inside and outside the gym.

JJ opens up about his transition from working in a sheet metal shop to becoming one of the most well-known trainers in Ogden. He shares the pivotal moment when he realized he didn’t want a life dictated by beer, factory work, and routine misery. Instead, he took a leap into the fitness industry, learning the ropes through trial, error, and a whole lot of persistence.

The conversation dives deep into the psychology of strength training, breaking common myths about lifting, recovery, and why ego lifting does more harm than good. JJ explains the key to real strength: progressive overload, structured programming, and the unglamorous but necessary work of slow, steady improvement. He also shares wild gym stories—ranging from unexpected rivalries to locker room absurdities—and highlights the importance of accountability in fitness.

Beyond lifting weights, JJ gets real about the struggles of personal training, the balance of coaching versus enabling clients, and the mental game required to build discipline. He even shares his approach to calling out excuses and why some clients need tough love to break past their own limitations.

If you’ve ever wondered how lifting can extend your lifespan, why small changes lead to massive results, or how a 75-year-old client of JJ’s is deadlifting 155 lbs, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, we dive into the rollercoaster of unmet expectations and how they can derail our routines and mindsets. Alex opens up about how missing key activities, like hitting the gym, can create a “ruined day” feeling, while Edgar shares the stress of juggling client deadlines and maintaining focus.

Edgar reflects on the ups and downs of business ownership, from hiring employees to scaling operations. He also discusses the challenges of finding reliable help and the uncertainty of whether his business can support a full-time role. Meanwhile, Alex explores how even small gains—like a single new customer each week—can have a significant impact.

The conversation takes a philosophical turn as we discuss “ego death” and the importance of seeing the bigger picture. Whether it’s handling stress, dealing with outside pressures, or maintaining friendships, we break down how stepping back can offer new perspectives.

We also tackle a fun Q&A, where we share what superpower we’d want for a day, leaning toward long-term growth rather than short-term thrills.
