Episode 86: October Reflections

Alex Nunez & Edgar Del Val Episode 86

Welcome to Episode 86 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

In this episode, Edgar opens up about the stress of juggling unfinished tasks before his trip and navigating the tricky balance between enjoying travel and catching up at work after. We both reflect on October flying by and missing out on fall traditions—like pumpkin carving. 

The conversation takes a spooky turn as Alex recounts his experience at a haunted forest in Snow Basin, comparing it to childhood memories of scarier haunted houses. They laugh about quirky concert experiences, including Alex’s solo adventure at a metalcore show and how metal concerts foster unexpected friendships among strangers—contrasting it with the aggressive vibe at hip-hop events.

We also dive into nostalgia with Guitar Hero memories and Edgar’s struggle with virtual reality games causing motion sickness. Shifting gears, we discuss personal growth through entrepreneurship, sharing stories about the unexpected lessons of running a business. Edgar opens up about resisting job offers and weighing risks, while Alex highlights how sales skills act as a safety net during uncertain times.

This episode wraps with light-hearted stories—like Alex’s childhood mishap of using toilet spray as hair spray and Edgar’s kitchen fail with teriyaki sauce—blending humor with deeper reflections on taking risks, embracing uncertainty, and aligning actions with long-term goals.
