Episode 112: You Get What You Pay For

Alex Nunez & Edgar Del Val Episode 112

Welcome to Episode 112 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar dive into the moments that defined their Easter weekend—and beyond. From working through burnout to hitting milestones in business, they reflect on what it takes to stay consistent when life feels like a grind.

Edgar shares how he's rebuilding structure in his detailing business after a hectic run of back-to-back projects. He talks about learning to pace himself, finding pride in his work, and how hitting five stars on Google wasn’t just a win—it was proof that quality and patience pay off. They break down real customer experiences, the cost of cutting corners, and why even small jobs deserve full effort.

The conversation expands into bigger topics—how economic slowdowns push people toward entrepreneurship, the myths social media sells about starting a business, and why having a “general plan” is more valuable than chasing perfect blueprints. They talk about the mental toll of financial stress, the silent pressure of adult responsibilities, and the tough conversations that happen when friendships shift or fade.

There’s talk of leadership—what it looks like when an owner checks out, how poor management kills culture, and why systems matter if you ever want to scale. They draw inspiration from past guest Jeff, recognizing that even seasoned entrepreneurs wrestle with team dynamics and burnout.

Whether you’re navigating slow seasons, rethinking your path, or trying to stay grounded through change—this episode offers honest insight, relatable moments, and a reminder that growth rarely comes without growing pains.

If you’re building something and need a boost—this one’s for you.
