Episode 132: The Perfect Time Doesn’t Exist

Welcome to Episode 132 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar are back after their guest episode with Sean to catch up on life, business, and perspective. They kick things off by revisiting Sean’s fitness advice, from the truth about creatine and supplement myths to how daily consistency builds results far beyond the gym.

From there, the conversation flows naturally into franchise ownership, local versus corporate coffee culture, and why small businesses might be winning the authenticity game. Edgar reflects on balancing shop work and growth while Alex opens up about navigating a new job, learning curves, and the pressure of chasing stability in his late 20s.

The talk delves into real-life challenges, rising housing costs, when it’s worth taking a financial leap, and how couples manage shared goals through uncertain times. They explore the psychology of money, the myth of “perfect timing,” and how perspective changes everything when life feels heavy.

As fall settles in, the two talk about hoodie weather, holidays, and why slowing down can feel both peaceful and scary. Edgar shares lessons from running his business for six years, from adapting to seasonal cycles to staying grateful when things quiet down. The episode closes with stories that hit hard: a paralyzed customer who redefines resilience, Alex’s younger sister reminding him about mindset, and a shared realization that growth is really about mastering perspective.

From creatine routines to conversations about money, meaning, and gratitude. This episode is a reminder that success isn’t about pace; it’s about staying grounded while you grow.
