In this episode of Growing Money with Sean Trace, I sit down with Brian Carney, partner and founder of RiversEdge Advisors, an independent wealth management and registered investment advisory firm in Delaware, to talk about the side of money nobody can spreadsheet, the emotional, behavioral part that drives real decisions.
Brian shares how he accidentally became a financial advisor after ditching a physical therapy path, and what it taught him starting in a world-shaking moment like September 11th, that trust and relationships matter before credentials, calculations, or perfect answers. We get into behavioral finance, market volatility, investing mistakes smart people still make, and why the most dangerous words in personal finance are “I don’t know,” because uncertainty creates anxiety that can lead to panic selling and expensive, irreversible decisions. I share stories from my own life, from hiring and staying calm under pressure to learning how a good advisor helps you do the financial work with you, not for you, and Brian explains what a healthy relationship with money looks like in real life, setting clear goals, building a cohesive plan across accounts, and creating a team where your financial planner, accountant, and attorney actually communicate.
We also talk about cutting through influencer noise, why “fiduciary” is table stakes not a magic guarantee, how AI can give impressive looking plans that still create costly tax mistakes, and why the real path to long-term wealth is consistency, simplicity, and “get rich slow,” not the fantasy of timing the market or chasing a big strategic move.
