Quarter-Life Capital returns with co-hosts George Pu, Matthew Black, and Soham Mehta examining how young professionals can navigate an increasingly restrictive economic landscape while pursuing financial freedom.

In this thought-provoking second episode:

• 🌎 The great escape: Why wealthy individuals are fleeing high-tax democracies to places like Dubai and Paraguay
• 💰 "They call it democracy": How today's tax burdens would have sparked revolution in earlier times
• 🏛️ The fluid democracy phenomenon: How political systems are adapting to protect established powers
• 🚀 Business leaders entering politics: Is Elon Musk setting himself up as Trump's fall guy?
• 📱 Apple's 10% stock plunge and AI failures: Has the innovation giant lost its edge?
• 👁️ Meta's vision for true digital freedom: Contact lenses that connect your vision to the internet

The hosts deliver a libertarian perspective on creating personal sovereignty in an age where national borders matter less than financial freedom, and explore how young professionals can position themselves for success despite government restrictions.
