In this episode, Sean Quinn breaks down the 2% insurance levy,
the appointment of Matthew Elderfield, and the case he says was
never there for putting Quinn Insurance into administration —
backed, he argues, by the Central Bank's own figures. From there,
the conversation turns personal: listener questions sent in via
Snapchat cover his current net worth, whether he'd ever start
again, who he trusts, and what life looks like now — cards,
walks, family, and no regrets.
