Welcome to Episode 109 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
In this episode, Alex and Edgar take a trip down memory lane—swapping childhood stories, teenage hustles, and the wild ways they used to make things happen. From selling guitars and drum sets to purchase a PS3, to the mint plants and VHS tapes that defined their family homes, this episode is packed with nostalgia and laughs.
But it’s not just about the past—they also explore the growing pains of adulthood. Edgar shares why he scaled his business down to two shops, how he’s learning to prioritize time and peace, and his long-term goal of owning real estate that supports his business dreams. He gets real about burnout, managing clients, and the stress of doing it all alone.
Alex opens up about trying to stay grounded while everything feels out of sync. He also shares the emotional rollercoaster of adopting a stray cat named Stella, how it challenged his relationship, and the unexpected lessons that came from it.
From debates about iPad kids to conversations about trade schools, career confusion, and the systems that failed them in high school, this episode blends humor, insight, and raw honesty about what it means to grow up, hustle hard, and figure it out along the way.
Whether you’re reminiscing on simpler times or navigating your next move—this one will hit home.
