No Bollocks with Matt Haycox
Welcome to No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, the business podcast for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and anyone who wants to build big without the bullshit.
I’m Matt Haycox: investor, founder, and straight-talking business mentor. I’ve funded nearly £1 billion in UK business loans, bounced back from bankruptcy, and now own and advise multiple 7- and 8-figure companies across sectors, from property and e-commerce to finance and hospitality.
This podcast cuts through the noise. No bollocks. No gurus. Just raw conversations, real strategies, and the lessons you actually need to succeed in business.
Each episode features unfiltered insights from me and guests who’ve built it, lost it, and built it back bigger.
So buckle up. It’s time to learn how to do business, properly.

CEOs Earn 300x More: The Hidden Reason Why It's NOT Unfair & How You Can Earn More Too
You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the outrage.
But here’s the thing: business doesn’t care about what’s fair. It cares about what works.
In this solo episode, Matt Haycox breaks down why most people totally misunderstand CEO pay, and why comparing your salary to a CEO’s is like comparing a spoon to a scalpel.
From how top CEOs create billions in value, to why some leaders do take the piss, Matt gives the straight-talking truth on performance, accountability, and how to stop whining and start winning.
