You’ll NEVER Succeed Without This!

In this compelling episode of Stripping Off with Matt Haycox, Matt sits down with Natalie Russell, a self-esteem and relationship recovery coach whose incredible story is one of resilience and transformation.

Brexit Betrayal: 17.4M Votes Ignored!

This week I sat down with the fearless Lady Colin Campbell, who’s here to share her extraordinary life story filled with shocking revelations and unfiltered opinions. From her upbringing in “a world of great lavishness” that was also “oppressive and restrictive,” to her candid experiences with gender identity, Lady Colin pulls no punches. Her powerful declaration, “I was shot up with male hormones without my knowledge,” sets the stage for a conversation that challenges conventional narratives around identity and medical ethics. Lady Colin doesn't shy away from controversy, emphasising that “experts tampering with the minds of children is dangerous” as she tackles today's pressing issues surrounding gender identity and age of consent. We also explore her bold views on the British royal family, including her fierce critiques of Harry and Meghan, stating that “Meghan has tried to create herself as the second Diana, but she doesn’t have any of Diana’s attributes—only her failings.” This is a must-listen episode that promises raw insights, compelling stories, and a fearless exploration of societal norms. Tune in to hear Lady Colin's unfiltered take on identity, family dynamics, and royal drama!

I Was Given Male Hormones Without Knowing!

We’ve got Danny Crates on the podcast – Paralympic gold medalist, world champion, and an all-around legend who’s turned his life story into a masterclass on resilience and determination. Danny breaks down the moment everything changed – a freak accident that cost him his arm. Instead of letting that be the end, it became the start of something bigger. From hospital days full of humor to stepping onto the rugby field with one arm, Danny’s story is all about thriving through adversity. He even takes us through training for the Paralympics, going from bronze in Sydney to gold in Athens. This guy doesn’t just compete – he dominates, and his mindset is something we can all learn from. But it’s not just about medals. Danny opens up about life after sport – transitioning into broadcasting, becoming a top keynote speaker, and applying his “5 Pillars of Performance” to business and everyday life. He’s got this amazing ability to connect elite athletics to high performance in any field. We also dive into the mental side – what separates good athletes from great ones and the mental barriers that hold people back. Whether you’re an athlete, business owner, or just looking to level up, Danny’s story will light a fire under you.

OnlyFans Exposed: Money, Sex & The Truth!

In today's episode, we've got an absolutely raw and powerful chat with James Roffey. From kicking a ball at Bisham Abbey alongside legends like Beckham and Shearer to battling the darkest corners of anorexia and bulimia, James opens up about his rollercoaster journey with an honesty that's both heart-wrenching and inspiring. James shares the intense pressures he faced, especially from himself. He talks about the heartbreak of being told he wasn't good enough to turn pro just before his 17th birthday – a blow that shattered his world. We dive deep into James' struggles with his self-worth, the rapid decline of his mental health, and the traumatic events that made everything worse. His battle with eating disorders started as anorexia, driven by an extreme need for control, and later morphed into bulimia, bringing severe health issues. Listen as James recounts making himself sick up to 50 times a day, the secrecy and shame surrounding his condition, and the devastating impact on his family. Despite hitting rock bottom – including signing a do not resuscitate form at just 21 years old and weighing only 5 and a half stone – James' story is also one of resilience and recovery. As a resilience and mental health coach, James offers profound insights into the importance of purpose and how he's managed to balance work, family, and his own well-being. His journey makes him a trustworthy and notable source for understanding the struggles of mental health and eating disorders.

"I Reckon I've Got a Good Chance Against Ngannou" with Romford Bull Johnny Fisher

This week, I’m stripping off and going down on the colourful journey of Daniel O'Reilly, (aka Dapper Laughs) exploring the highs and lows that have shaped his life and career. Dapper reflects on losing everything, and the huge fallout he faced with the public after he was CANCELLED! From the early days of crafting characters to the unexpected challenges of being branded “pro rape” by the media, I delve into the relentless storm of scrutiny Dapper has faced. Amidst the chaos, I uncover the huge support that sustained him through the darkest of times as he sheds light on his struggles with addiction and mental health. “For about 3 or 4 years, I'd just drink and sniff coke. I was just out. I was just hiding from my life, escaping my life.” And just when you thought we'd covered it all, we'll explore the profound impact of fatherhood and the delicate balance of comedy and sensitivity. Who is Daniel O’Reiley: Daniel O’Reilly burst onto the comedy scene with a bang, blending laughter with controversy, rising to fame through social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Vine, captivating audiences with his bold and unapologetic humour. His big break came with the ITV2 series "Dapper Laughs On the Pull," but the show's cancellation after one season due to criticism marked a pivotal moment in his career. Things took a darker turn in 2014 when resurfaced jokes about sexual assault sparked widespread backlash, leading to a public downfall. Daniel took a step back, shedding the Dapper Laughs persona to focus on personal growth and reflection. Key takeaways: Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Dapper's story teaches us the importance of resilience in navigating life's challenges. Despite facing intense scrutiny and career setbacks, he chose to confront his demons and come out stronger. Personal Growth and Redemption: By stepping away from his controversial persona and focusing on self-improvement, he demonstrated the transformative power of reflection and the ability to redefine yourself in the face of adversity. Embracing Sobriety and Prioritising Mental Health: Dapper's milestone of celebrating 500 days of sobriety highlights the importance of prioritising mental health and well-being. Dapper's story inspires us to prioritise our mental health and seek support when needed.

Stripping Off with Matt Haycox Official Trailer

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Erika Doyle, the mastermind behind Drink Dry, shaking up the beverage scene in the GCC like never before. We delved into Erika's journey, her reasons for going alcohol-free, and her pioneering work in the non-alcoholic movement. But it's not just about drinks; we discussed health, wellness, and breaking stereotypes. Erika shared the ups and downs of building Drink Dry, from tackling gender dynamics to navigating global markets and industry conflicts. We also looked ahead to the exciting future of non-alcoholic beverages. So, grab your favorite non-alcoholic beverage (maybe a Drink Dry?), relax, and join us for an hour of wisdom, laughs, and entrepreneurial inspiration. Don't miss it! Who is Erika Doyle? Erika Doyle is the brains and the brawn behind Drink Dry, the game-changer in the GCC beverage scene. Erika's story isn't just about mixing drinks; it's about shaking up an entire industry. She stumbled into entrepreneurship when she launched Drink Dry, the first of its kind in the region, offering an array of alcohol-free drinks, from wine to beer to spirit alternatives. With awards like the Entrepreneur Woman SME Leaders Award for F&B Leader and a spot in Arabian Business's '50 Most Inspirational Women 2022,' she's making waves, alright. Now, let's talk growth. Drink Dry isn't just a mum-and-pop operation anymore; it's a movement. With over 350 outlets in HORECA and 132 retail stores nationwide, it's clear that Erika's onto something big. But it's not just about sales; it's about spreading the word. Through blogs and social media, she's dishing out recipes and inspiration, one mocktail at a time. Erika's not stopping at the UAE. No sir! In 2023, she took Drink Dry international, hitting up Kuwait and expanding operations to Oman, Maldives, Bahrain, and Jordan. I’d call that a power move. Erika is just getting started. Key takeaways: Personal Conviction in Business: You know, what struck me most about Erika is her personal conviction in business. Her decision to stop drinking wasn't just a lifestyle change; it became the driving force behind her entrepreneurial journey. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes our personal choices can lead to BIG business opportunities. Education and Advocacy: Erika's passion for educating consumers is a reminder that businesses can be a force for positive change in society when they prioritise education and awareness. Global Vision and Adaptability: Erika's global vision for Drink Dry is inspiring. She's not afraid to adapt and expand into new markets, and her success in doing so highlights the importance of flexibility in business. It's a lesson in seizing opportunities wherever they may arise and being willing to evolve with the times. Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 1:52 - Why did Erika stop drinking?

This week on The Matt Haycox Show, we delve into the world of divorce. From the importance of family lawyers to the debate over modern divorce laws and prenuptial agreements, we cover it all. Gender dynamics, common sense in proceedings, and alternative approaches to mediation are explored. Plus, we discuss financial implications, cultural nuances, and the importance of wills. Join us for an unfiltered discussion on relationships and more! Who is Samara Iqbal? Meet Samara Iqbal, the dynamic force behind Aramas International Lawyers, specialising in divorce and family law for UAE expats. Not your average solicitor, Samara wears many hats – she's both a legal powerhouse and an Islamic scholar. Whether it's navigating the complexities of domestic violence or smoothing out the wrinkles in international divorces, Samara's expertise knows no bounds. Her modern, no-nonsense approach ensures that clients are kept in the loop every step of the way, without drowning in legal jargon. With offices spanning the Middle East, Samara ensures that expats receive the legal support they need, regardless of their location. But Samara isn't just about courtroom battles – she's deeply committed to community engagement. You'll find her sharing her wealth of knowledge on family law through radio interviews, TV appearances, and engaging university lectures. When it comes to family law matters, Samara's the name to trust for expert guidance and unwavering support. Key takeaways: Family Lawyer: One big takeaway? You’ve got to have a top-notch family lawyer in your corner when divorce rears its ugly head. From crunching divorce stats to questioning if the law's really up to speed with modern marriage, it's crystal clear: legal know-how is your golden ticket to securing the best outcome and shielding your interests. Prenuptial Agreements: Here's the deal – prenups aren't just a legal formality, they're your ace in the hole. We learned the hard way (well, not me personally, but you get the gist) how prenups can save your bacon and keep things civil when the D-word pops up. Trust me, peace of mind and fewer courtroom dramas? Priceless. Cultural and Legal Insights: Divorce isn't straightforward; it's a mix of cultural and legal complexities. From diving into the tangled web of multiple wives to the nitty-gritty of wills in estate planning, we got a crash course in the diverse factors shaping family law. Bottom line? In the divorce arena, knowing your legal stuff and being culturally aware are key to success.

Don't miss this riveting conversation that goes beyond business. Who Anthony 'Staz' Stazicker? Anthony "Staz" Stazicker, the visionary behind Thrudark and the powerhouse on SAS Who Dares Wins, defies the typical entrepreneur narrative.

Undeterred, at 21, with limited life experience, he conquered the Royal Marines selection process, earning the coveted King’s Badge and Physical Training Medal. Expanding his horizons in 2007, Staz entered the United Kingdom Special Forces. Today, he's reshaping the landscape of tactical and outdoor apparel through Thrudark, seamlessly transitioning from a young recruit to a force in both special forces and the business world. Key takeaways: Personal Growth and Mentorship: Staz emphasises the crucial role of personal growth and mentorship in his journey. His experiences in the military, particularly the Special Forces, served as a catalyst for key and important self-development.
