Podcast 139: Outgrowing Our Old Version

Alex Nunez & Edgar Del Val Episode 139

Welcome to Episode 139 of The Endless Growth Podcast.

This week, Alex and Edgar ease into the final stretch of the year with real talk about slowing down, shifting priorities, and what it feels like when life starts nudging you toward change. From family visiting and quiet work weeks to birthday reflections and the realization that Edgar is stepping into his thirties, the conversation opens with humor, nostalgia, and a few honest moments about how fast time is moving.

They then drift into the strange world of modern culture. New slang, viral trends, looks maxing, and the pressure to keep up with a generation that seems to speak a different language. What starts as jokes about feeling old slowly turns into deeper questions about vanity, self-image, discipline in the gym, and why the desire to improve can come from both insecurity and growth.

A surprise Q&A adds another layer as they explore what they would do with an unexpected $100,000, leading into conversations about freedom, investing, travel, and the difference between chasing comfort and building something meaningful. The episode closes with honest reflections on relationships, potential moves to Salt Lake, entrepreneurship realities, burnout, hiring struggles, and the emotional weight of returning to childhood places that shaped who they became.

It is thoughtful, grounded, funny, and raw in the way only Endless Growth can deliver. If you have ever questioned your direction, your pace, or the version of yourself you are becoming, this one will hit.
