Welcome to Episode 136 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This week, Alex and Edgar blend real-life updates, relatable struggles, and grounded perspective. Alex walks through renewing his real estate license, sparking a convo about backup careers, discipline, and why some chapters are worth keeping open as life shifts. They trade stories from the field, including Utah’s surprising disclosure rules and how showings can turn into marathons.
Then it shifts to entrepreneurship and the small business grind. Edgar breaks down winter’s impact on detailing, last-minute workloads, and the smart pivots that keep revenue moving, like holiday light installs. They dig into procrastination, discipline, and why working well under pressure can become a double-edged sword.
Later, they go deeper on success, comparison, and the long game. Why early career stages feel slow. What people misunderstand about sales and business ownership. And why defining success for yourself is the only path that actually works.
Before wrapping, they lighten it up with Halloween plans, gym talk, gaming nostalgia, and a few honest lessons about mistakes, social burnout, chasing a 315 bench, and doing good without expecting anything back. It is an easygoing, reflective listen that feels close to home.
Tap play, share with a friend, and keep growing one choice at a time.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
