    Episode 146: Marketplace Madness

    Welcome to Episode 146 of The Endless Growth Podcast! 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.

    Episode 145: Pushing Through Anyway

    Welcome to Episode 145 of The Endless Growth Podcast!  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. 00:23 Reflecting on the Past Year 01:27 The Importance of Planning 02:17 Using Planners Effectively 03:44 Building Habits and Productivity 06:27 Starting the Year Right 06:55 Gym Tips and Staying Motivated 12:27 Dealing with Challenges and Potholes 21:56 Social Interactions and Avoidance 27:01 Meditation and Mental Focus 32:35 Reflecting on the Year 33:04 The Concept of Happiness 34:52 Mental Health Matters 35:30 Podcast Evolution 36:09 New Year's Eve Plans 37:05 Dealing with Sickness 49:42 Traveling While Sick 57:30 The Annual Hustle and Immune System Worries 58:09 Holiday Work and Icy Roads 59:38 New Year's Day Observations 01:00:40 Tire Shopping Adventures 01:02:36 Facebook Marketplace Finds 01:03:56 Tire Installation and Warranties 01:17:25 Reflecting on Past Tire Deals 01:19:56 Wrapping Up the Podcast

    Episode 144: Take a Chance on Yourself

    Welcome to Episode 144 of The Endless Growth Podcast! 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. 00:31 Weekly Catch-Up 01:19 Selling the Subaru: A Rookie Move 06:02 Weekend Recap and TV Shows 10:31 Home Design and Staging 16:19 Cruise Experiences and Travel Stories 25:30 New Year's Resolutions and Personal Growth 41:32 Embracing Uncomfortable Situations 42:37 Reflecting on Past Conversations 44:05 Childhood Memories and School Experiences 45:58 The Impact of Time and Growing Up 48:36 Life Lessons and Personal Growth 49:48 The Fascination with History 01:12:19 Tragic Events and Reflections 01:17:52 Final Thoughts and Gratitude

    Episode 143: The Calm Before the New Year

    Welcome to Episode 143 of The Endless Growth Podcast! 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. Happy Holidays!  00:18 New Kitten in the Family 01:03 Adoption Event Experience 02:43 Introducing the New Kitten to the Household 09:58 Weekend Recap and Titanic Exhibition 16:11 Christmas Shopping and Holiday Preparations 19:44 Gift Ideas for Family Members 35:26 Road Trips and Travel Experiences 39:53 The Importance of Staying Active 40:16 Work Culture and Lifestyle of Native Americans 42:06 Gift Ideas and Personal Preferences 43:07 The Repetitive Nature of Gifts 51:12 Thrift Store Adventures 01:02:46 Pet Dynamics and Attachments 01:05:29 Childhood Beliefs and Santa Claus 01:08:31 Nostalgia and Early Mobile Phones 01:13:15 Winter Tires and Snowboarding Gear 01:18:06 Concluding Thoughts and Holiday Wishes

    Episode 142: Stronger Than Yesterday

    Welcome to Episode 142 of The Endless Growth Podcast!  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. Tap in and enjoy. 00:18 Holiday Season Vibes 01:34 Christmas Shopping Challenges 02:18 Heated Clothing and Winter Gear 07:49 Considering a New Pet 12:36 Gym Milestones and Achievements 22:39 Creatine and Workout Supplements 29:35 Balding Fears and Hair Solutions 31:12 Conspiracy Theories and Cancer 35:24 Reflecting on Childhood Memories 40:06 Camping Adventures and Airsoft Mishaps 50:13 Starting Fires and Bathroom Stories 56:12 Defining Trauma: What Counts? 56:48 Gaming Habits and Parental Influence 59:30 Childhood Memories: The Bike Incident 01:02:12 Reflecting on Childhood and Family Dynamics 01:04:20 Painful Memories and Injuries 01:16:43 Soccer Stories and Injuries 01:23:04 Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Plans

    Episode 141: The Weight of Time

    Welcome to Episode 141 of The Endless Growth Podcast! 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. Tap in and thank you for listening. 00:14 Post-Vacation Blues 02:28 Thanksgiving Recap 03:22 Alcatraz Experience 06:02 Life in Solitary Confinement 10:20 Rehabilitation in Prison 17:44 Waymo and Autonomous Vehicles 28:34 Thanksgiving Food Debate 37:37 Christmas Shopping and Social Isolation 39:12 The Unseen Gaze 39:26 Car Window Tinting: Pros and Cons 39:43 Future of Car Technology 42:09 Stock Market Insights 44:30 Crypto Investments: Risks and Rewards 49:14 Marketing Strategies and Research 57:37 The Power of Retargeting 01:07:05 AI and Its Implications 01:17:50 Scams and Phone Calls 01:21:30 Wrapping Up

    Episode 140: Embracing the Moment

    Welcome to Episode 140 of The Endless Growth Podcast. 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.

    Podcast 139: Outgrowing Our Old Version

    Welcome to Episode 139 of The Endless Growth Podcast. 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.
