Episode 128: The Stories That Shape Us
Welcome to Episode 128 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This week, Alex and Edgar share a day of unexpected plans that started with squeaky brakes and ended with steaming bowls of pho in Murray. From car maintenance and spring rolls to afternoon drives through Salt Lake, their Sunday felt like stepping back into simpler times, just two friends riding with no agenda.
But the conversation doesn’t stop at fun and food. They dive into the meaning of Labor Day, tracing its roots to 1880s New York and remembering how Hispanic communities once boycotted work to show their impact. That sparks a bigger discussion about holidays, boycotts, and what it really means to take pride in your work.
From there, the talk shifts into memory, time, and growth: why childhood feels longer than adulthood, how habits can trap you in autopilot, and why new learning keeps the brain sharp. Alex reflects on Leonardo da Vinci’s relentless detail, the psychology of stories like the tortoise and the hare, and how science connects to his own journey of self-improvement. Edgar opens up about childhood passions for construction and cars, how those early interests shaped him, and why solving problems still brings him joy today.
At its heart, this episode is about reconnecting with each other, with the past, and with the parts of ourselves we often overlook. From pho noodles to philosophy, it’s a reminder that growth comes not just from chasing new goals, but from revisiting old dreams, asking deeper questions, and staying curious about the world around us.
Thanks for tuning in, and as always, let’s keep growing together.
