Welcome to Episode 152 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar start with a simple catch-up that moves from winter weather and Valentine’s plans into something deeper. A trip back to Moab sparks a reflection on time, memory, and how fast eight years can pass without you realizing it. What begins as stories about Delicate Arch parking chaos and the unreal views at Dead Horse Point turns into a bigger conversation about perspective and how revisiting old places forces you to confront who you were versus who you are now.

The heart of this episode centers on growth through change. Edgar opens up about stepping into a new role within his business after eight years of building Endless Auto Styling from a name written on a high school paper to a full operation with employees. They talk about risk, timing, and how sometimes you feel a shift coming before it actually happens. Luck, preparation, and opportunity collide in real time.

Alex and Edgar also dig into self-evaluation, mastery, and the uncomfortable early stages of learning anything new. They discuss why most people quit too early, why repetition builds confidence, and how becoming truly skilled at something creates leverage in life. There is an honest conversation about money, fulfillment, ambition, and the realization that success without balance can feel empty.

They wrap up by reflecting on aging, gratitude, and a powerful reminder that reaching another year is not guaranteed. The conversation lands on perspective, sleep, longevity, and the importance of appreciating where you are right now while still pushing forward.

If you have ever felt a shift coming, questioned whether you are behind, or wondered what mastery really requires, this episode will hit home.

Welcome to Episode 151 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar settle into one of those conversations that starts light and slowly turns reflective, moving from hiking plans and outdoor hobbies to deeper thoughts about risk, habits, stress, and the way time quietly moves forward whether you act or not.

The episode begins with a talk about a spontaneous trip to Moab, and the different ways people chase that feeling of being alive, whether it’s running, hiking, biking, or exploring the outdoors. What starts as casual conversation turns into a bigger question about what kind of life you actually want to build, and how easy it is to drift if you never decide.

From there, the discussion shifts into ambition, business ideas, and the fear that keeps people stuck. Alex and Edgar talk about calculated risks, option paralysis, and how social media can make success look simple while hiding the years of effort behind it. They reflect on how uncertainty feels uncomfortable, but staying still for too long can be just as dangerous.

The heart of the episode lands on mindset and perspective. They talk about stress, expectations, and the tendency to live in the future instead of experiencing the present. There’s an honest look at anxiety, overthinking, and the discipline it takes to focus only on what you can control, even when life keeps throwing unexpected problems your way.

They wrap up by reflecting on consistency, three years of recording, and what it means to keep showing up even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.

As always, thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 150 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down with Mohammad, a divorce and family law attorney who shares what really happens behind the scenes when marriages break down and what people often wish they had known before things reached that point.

Mohammad talks about his path into law, how family law ended up choosing him, and what it’s like advocating for clients in some of the most emotional and high-stakes moments of their lives. The conversation dives into how divorces actually unfold, the real costs people don’t always expect, and why preparation and early conversations can make a massive difference.

The guys also explore topics that don’t get talked about enough: the role of prenups, why financial expectations and lifestyle pressures often lead to conflict, and how social media and modern dating have changed relationships. Mohammad shares practical advice on how to recognize a good attorney, what discovery and mediation really look like, and why consulting early can protect people from serious long-term consequences.

From there, the conversation shifts into a bigger discussion about marriage itself. Despite seeing the worst cases, Mohammad explains why he still believes marriage is important, what healthy couples tend to do differently, and why trust, leadership, and clear communication can shape the direction of a relationship over time.

The episode closes with reflections on integrity, long-term goals, and Mohammad’s vision of eventually helping more people who can’t afford legal representation. Whether you’re curious about relationships, interested in law, or just want a raw and honest conversation about marriage in the modern world, this episode brings a perspective most people never hear.
