Episode 142: Stronger Than Yesterday
Welcome to Episode 142 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This week, Alex and Edgar settle in for a December episode that starts light, funny, and relatable before unexpectedly diving into some of their most personal stories yet. From holiday slowdowns and last-minute Christmas shopping to debates over heated jackets and whether heated gloves are actually worth it, the episode opens with the everyday chaos of winter and the feeling that everyone is mentally checking out before the year even ends.
But things quickly shift when Alex shares a huge gym milestone and the rush that came with it, leading to a conversation about strength, plateaus, creatine, and the strange ways confidence shows up in the body and the mind. That energy sparks a deeper back-and-forth about aging, hair loss fears, genetics, and the weird insecurities men don’t always talk about.
Then the episode takes a nostalgic and unexpectedly intense turn as the guys revisit a childhood camping story involving airsoft guns, questionable supervision, and a full-on escape mission by the river. What starts as a funny memory becomes a real conversation about childhood moments that stick with us, how small experiences shape adult habits, and the strange ways we carry old fears into present life.
The episode wraps up with reflections on pain, injuries, ego in sports, and the temptation to say yes to things (like joining an indoor soccer league) that push you just far enough out of your comfort zone.
Tap in and enjoy.
