Welcome to Episode 107 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This episode dives into the challenges of entrepreneurship, the financial traps that hold people back, and the mindset shifts needed to keep growing.
Alex and Edgar kick things off with St. Patrick’s Day traditions—sharing stories of past celebrations, the wild ways cities commemorate the holiday, and how environmental concerns have shaped public events.
From there, the conversation shifts to business and financial discipline. Edgar reflects on his early struggles, why living below your means is crucial when starting a business, and the mistakes that can cripple new entrepreneurs. They break down the dangers of taking on too much debt, the power of reinvesting wisely, and why gradual growth beats flashy spending every time.
They also explore the job market struggles people are facing today—why getting hired feels harder than ever, the stigma around taking lower-paying jobs, and how unemployment benefits can sometimes keep people stuck in limbo.
Beyond business, they discuss personal branding, the role of reputation, and how social media can warp people’s perceptions of success. Edgar shares his journey from washing cars in his garage to running his own shop, highlighting the importance of taking small, intentional steps toward long-term success.
Whether you're building a business, navigating financial decisions, or just looking for real, unfiltered conversations about life, this episode is packed with hard-hitting insights and lessons learned.
