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.

Are Luxury Brands Immoral? Why Shaming Wealth WON'T Solve Poverty & How Value Is Really Created
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Should you feel guilty for owning a Rolex while others can’t afford to eat?
As Chinese manufacturers flood global markets and luxury brands face backlash in the US-China culture war, the internet is asking: Is luxury unethical—or just misunderstood?
In this business lesson, I break down the real economics behind luxury, why having more doesn’t mean others have less, and how guilt-driven activism misses the point. From TikTok outrage to Vogue headlines, it’s time to separate emotion from economics.
Luxury isn’t the enemy. Poverty is. And blaming success never built a better world.
