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.

Stop Losing Sales in Your DMs: Build an Appointment-Setting Team
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Right now, your DMs are probably where your multi-million dollar dreams go to die.
You think you’re “scaling.” You’ve hired a couple of offshore VAs for five bucks an hour, handed them a generic script, and told them to go "hunt."
You think you’ve solved your bottleneck.
But here’s what’s really happening: You are systematically burning your best leads.
Every time one of those low-skill, low-EQ "setters" sends a robotic, tone-deaf message to a high-ticket prospect, a bridge is burned.
You aren’t just losing five dollars an hour; you’re losing the $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000 lifetime value of a client who just realized your brand feels like a spam-bot.
If you treat your front line like a commodity, your bank account will treat your revenue like an afterthought.
Today, we’re stopping the bleeding. I’m going to show you how to build a team of Million-Dollar Setters. I’m talking about "Emotional Architects" who can read a prospect’s intent through a screen better than most people can in person.
We’re going to cover:
- The 1% Trait: Why Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the only metric that matters in 2026.
- The "Protagonist" Profile: The specific MBTI type that naturally dominates the DMs.
- The Hiring Gauntlet: My exact process for filtering 500 applicants down to the 3 absolute sharks who will protect your brand like it’s their own.
- The Compensation Myth: Why paying someone $150k a year to "set" is the fastest way to make yourself a millionaire.
If you’re tired of being the bottleneck and you’re ready to build a self-sustaining revenue engine that builds trust while you sleep... sit down, take notes, and let's get into it.
