Episode 146: Marketplace Madness
Welcome to Episode 146 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
This week, Alex and Edgar ease into the new year with a conversation that starts light and casual and slowly turns into one of those unexpectedly deep, real-life breakdowns.
They kick things off talking about New Year energy, routines, and why the calendar flip feels meaningful even when life stays the same. That leads straight into the chaos of New Year’s gym season, packed weights, overcrowded machines, and the unspoken rules of surviving a gym that suddenly feels twice as full. Alex shares his strategy for adapting without wasting time, while Edgar breaks down how different schedules attract completely different crowds.
From there, the episode takes a weird but hilarious turn when Edgar explains a strange Tonal gym coincidence that feels like the universe nudging him to finally lock back in. They talk motivation, being all-in versus half-in, and how life priorities can quietly derail good intentions.
The back half turns into a full-blown car and money conversation. Edgar walks through selling his BMW, dealing with lowballers, banks, liens, warranties, and why pricing something high can actually be the smarter move. Alex reacts in real time as Edgar breaks down how dealerships really make money, how financing quietly crushes you over time, and why selling a car privately can feel like a part-time job.
They wrap it all up with a raw look at systems that feel rigged, the trade-offs between convenience and control, and why learning how things actually work changes how you move through life.
