In these ‘Mic Drops,’ I’ll be spotlighting my favourite, most impactful moments from past episodes of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox. These are the moments that hit hardest, offer the most value, and deserve to be heard again.

What’s the difference between a consultant, a coach, and a mentor? More importantly—why does it actually matter? In this Mic Drop moment, James Kemp cuts through the industry jargon and exposes the real distinctions between these roles, explaining why most consulting is a waste of time and how execution is the only thing that truly adds value.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be a coach, consultant, or mentor—or if you’re just sick of seeing overpriced ‘gurus’ peddling nonsense—this bonus episode is for you. James reveals why coaching isn’t scalable, why consultants often fail, and why mentorship is the ultimate business model for high-ticket success.

🚀 Listen now and discover the difference between telling people what to do and actually making an impact.
