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.
Thanks for listening. We’re excited for what’s next, and as always, we’re grateful you're on this journey with us.
