WHY REAL ASSETS WILL DOMINATE THE NEXT DECADE | 1971 Capital

In this episode of the 1971 Capital Podcast, we break down one of the biggest investment shifts of our generation: the move from paper wealth to real assets. From rising inflation and interest rates to the AI revolution and growing demand for infrastructure, we explain why real assets such as real estate, data centers, logistics facilities, and essential infrastructure could outperform traditional investments over the next decade. We also discuss the collapse of the traditional 60/40 portfolio, the dangers of leverage, why operator-led investing matters, and the shocking story of an investor who lost $15 million despite investing in real estate. Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, or simply trying to protect your wealth in an uncertain world, this conversation provides a framework for understanding where opportunities may exist in the years ahead.
