Welcome to Episode 98 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
In this episode, Alex and Edgar reflect on their journey to nearly 100 episodes and the rarity of reaching this point, with most podcasts fizzling out before episode 10. They dive into the challenges of growing an audience organically on platforms like Instagram and YouTube and share their observations on unconventional strategies some creators use to boost their followings.
The conversation shifts to building communities and balancing growth goals with personal values, as the hosts explore the idea of starting a local podcasting network in Utah while acknowledging it’s not their style. They also share insights on consuming content intentionally, with Alex introducing his method for organizing educational and entertaining videos, and Edgar highlighting the visual ASMR of home-building and construction videos.
The episode takes a thoughtful turn as they discuss the importance of adaptability for small businesses, the role of partnerships in scaling ventures, and the necessity of overcoming uncertainty to pursue big ideas. Drawing from examples like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, Alex emphasizes how connections, teams, and leveraging resources are essential to success.
They close with an inspiring discussion on the power of habits over motivation, stressing the value of consistency in achieving long-term growth.
