Welcome to Episode 134 of The Endless Growth Podcast!This week, Alex and Edgar dive into a wild mix of real-life stories, fears, and late-night reflections, all wrapped in spooky-season energy. The episode opens light-hearted with Halloween plans and nostalgia, then turns serious when Edgar recounts a real intruder incident at his shop. What starts as a strange night becomes a lesson in intuition, awareness, and gratitude for timing that could have gone very differently.From there, the guys explore the psychology of fear, both the literal kind and the ones we carry inside. They unpack childhood fears, paranormal moments, and how growing up changes what scares us. Edgar and Alex talk about the “masks” we wear to fit in, impress, or hide insecurity, and how adulthood teaches you to finally take them off.The conversation gets personal as they dig into failure, judgment, and the fear of putting yourself out there. Alex shares stories from his real estate days and how posting online felt like public vulnerability. Edgar reflects on why many people hold themselves back out of fear of being seen trying. Together, they break down how ego, comparison, and self-image keep people stuck, and what it means to finally just send it.To close, the guys trace the roots of Halloween and Día de los Muertos, showing how ancient traditions that honored the dead evolved into modern celebrations of candy, costumes, and community. They round things out with horror movie talk, superstitions, and why adulthood changes how we experience fear.Tap play, share with a friend, and stay aware out there.
