Welcome to Episode 119 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Edgar dive into Fourth of July traditions, business burnout, and the quiet ways we self-sabotage. From stories of fireworks mishaps and flat tires to late-night parties and paint mornings, they reflect on how holidays have evolved into friend-focused rituals that ground and recharge them.

Edgar opens up about the chaos of running a business, navigating delays, perfectionism, and the mental load of being the go-to guy. He shares what it’s like to treat himself, make time for loved ones, and why taking his parents on a trip matters more now than ever.

Meanwhile, Alex reflects on recent social events, how he's showing up differently, and the internal battles that come with keeping promises to yourself. Together, they explore topics like memory, learning styles, growing vocabulary, and the importance of creating meaningful moments before time slips away.

This isn’t just a casual catch-up; it’s an honest look at how we’re all balancing progress, pressure, and presence. If you’ve been feeling behind or overwhelmed, this episode might just remind you you're not alone and there’s still time to reset.

Welcome to Episode 118 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

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.

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.

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.

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.
