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.

The Truth About Aging No One Talks About
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people don’t think about aging until it hits them. One day, your world feels smaller, your phone stops ringing, and you realize—where did everyone go?
In this episode, I break down the harsh realities of aging and loneliness—why your social circle shrinks, why retirement can feel like an identity crisis, and why more people than ever are living alone. But here’s the truth: loneliness isn’t inevitable. The people who stay connected later in life prepare for it now.
This episode will challenge the way you think about relationships, work, and your future self. If you don’t want to wake up one day wondering where everyone went, this is a conversation you need to hear.
Want to future-proof your life and build a network that lasts? Book a call today and start taking control of your future connections. Book here.
