Welcome to Episode 147 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to Episode 138 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

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.

Hit play, share it with someone who’d vibe with the journey, and subscribe if it connects. Keep growing. One choice at a time.
