Episode 115: Stumbling Forward

Alex Nunez & Edgar Del Val Episode 115

Welcome to Episode 115 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Edgar dive into a mix of humor, storytelling, and real-life reflections. They start with a milestone check, celebrating 115 episodes and sharing how time has flown by. But it’s not all about numbers, they quickly get personal. Edgar opens up about a recent run of bad luck, from a chipped truck to a stubbed toe, and they share a laugh over how small mishaps can sometimes pile up.

The conversation shifts to relationships and milestones as Alex prepares for his three-year anniversary. They talk about how anniversary traditions evolve over time, the pressure around gift-giving, and how they plan to celebrate in Europe instead of exchanging gifts. 

But it doesn’t stop there. They tackle deeper topics like the ever-rising cost of housing, multi-generational living, and the challenges young adults face today in achieving financial independence. Alex shares how his dad bought their family home for $50,000 in 1997, a price that seems impossible now. Edgar reflects on how his family built wealth through real estate, and they explore why some people struggle to keep up.

The episode takes a turn towards mindset and business, where they explore the impact of hustle culture, social media’s toxic side, and the balance between ambition and mental well-being. They also share insights on investing, avoiding hype, and understanding how trends shape decisions.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, dealing with life’s curveballs, or trying to stay ahead, this episode is a relatable, unfiltered conversation full of laughs, lessons, and real talk.
