Episode 144: Take a Chance on Yourself

Alex Nunez & Edgar Del Val Episode 144

Welcome to Episode 144 of The Endless Growth Podcast!

This week, Alex and Edgar sit down for a post Christmas check in that feels like one of those long conversations that starts casual and slowly turns reflective. They kick things off by recapping the holidays, easing back into the week, and sharing what it feels like recording just after Christmas with the year quietly winding down.

The episode takes a turn when Edgar tells a full breakdown of selling his Subaru, including a classic rookie mistake that almost derailed the deal. From rushing across town to forgetting the one document that actually matters, the story turns into a reminder that even when you know better, life still finds ways to humble you. Luckily, it all works out and sparks a conversation about timing, patience, and learning through small mistakes.

From there, the conversation drifts into movies, shows, and the way entertainment feels different depending on your mood and who you are watching with. That opens the door to nostalgia about cable TV, old channels, background movies, and how media consumption has completely changed.

The second half of the episode leans more introspective as Alex and Edgar talk about friendships, social confidence, and how relationships shift as you get older. They reflect on unexpected friendships, judging people too early, and the importance of being intentional with your time as life gets busier.

They wrap it up by looking ahead to 2026, sharing honest thoughts on self-discipline, mindset, relationships, and what it means to actually work on yourself instead of just talking about it.

A thoughtful, unforced way to close out the year.
