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.

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.

He built a multimillion-pound business after navigating immense personal challenges and confronting the ultimate tragedy. George Armstrong isn’t just another online coach. He's a battle-tested entrepreneur whose life was profoundly shaped by witnessing his brother's decadelong battle with deep depression and suicidal thoughts, which tragically ended in suicide. This, combined with his own struggles, feeling like a "failure" , and contemplating quitting his business many times, forged his relentless drive. In this unfiltered conversation, George shares how he built his life, scaled his business, and why your environment matters more than your motivation.
In this episode:
- The real link between mental health & success.
- Why George ditched the UK for Bali and Dubai.
- How he built a high-ticket fitness empire online.
- Discipline vs motivation, and which one’s bullshit.
- Why being “busy” is killing your business.
- Lessons from mentors, his brother's depression, and the darkest moments.
This is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on No Bollocks. If you’re stuck, burning out, or doubting your next step, this one’s for you.
