Purpose Beats Paychecks | Adam Bruderly | Growing Money with Sean Trace
In this episode of Growing Money with Sean Trace, I sit down with Adam Bruderly, founder of the 903 Collective and a former Vanguard finance leader, to talk about the question that quietly changes everything, what is your enough number.
We dig into why chasing a bigger title, a bigger account balance, or some imaginary finish line can leave you emptier than you expected, and how real wealth looks more like time, presence, health, relationships, and meaningful experiences than it looks like stuff. Adam shares how surviving 9/11 while working in the World Trade Center reshaped his entire life and made time the most valuable currency he tracks, because it is the one thing you cannot buy back. From memento mori and stoicism to the hedonic treadmill, the five regrets of the dying, and the difference between spending on things versus spending on experiences, this conversation reframes personal finance as a tool, not an identity. We also go deep on the 903 Collective’s four pillars, physical, mental, financial, and spiritual wellness, and why living your best version requires alignment across all four, not domination of just one.
If you have ever thought, when I get to X, then I will be happy, this episode is your wake up call to redefine success, protect your time, and build a life that feels rich right now.
