Manage episode 482657377 series 3434995
Everyone always asks, “When’s Matt going to be the one getting grilled?”
Well, here it is. For the first time on his own feed, Matt Haycox sits in the hot seat to answer the questions you never hear him talk about—business regrets, relationships, legacy, burnout, and what truly drives him in 2025.
From strip clubs and bankruptcies to multimillion-pound deals and walking away from it all, Matt gets real about the cost of success, how he thinks differently, and why most people are stuck chasing the wrong goals. If you've ever wanted to build a business, live on your terms, or just understand how high-level entrepreneurs actually operate, this is the raw truth.
