Behind the fitness coach who's helped thousands of people transform their bodies is a man who battled bulimia in secret for over 30 years.

In this Naked Truth, Scott Harrison opens up about an eating disorder that started at 13, rooted in childhood bullying, and quietly followed him through marriage, fatherhood, and building a business that's changed thousands of lives - including relapses he's had even now. He lays out, without flinching, the full list of what shaped him: the bullying, the eating disorder, a divorce, and the loss of his son. Then the conversation turns, and Scott explains how the discipline he found in karate and boxing became the thing that put it all back together. Would he change any of it? He says no, because it's exactly what taught him to help everyone else find their way out.

Your £100 isn't worth £100 anymore and the official inflation figures aren't telling you the whole story.

In this Mic Drop, entrepreneur and financial advisor Spencer Lodge breaks down what actually causes inflation - and it's not Russia, and it's not supply chains. From living through Brazil's hyperinflation, where bread was repriced three times a day, to watching Argentina cut the value of his bank account in half overnight, Spencer explains why governments printing money is the real problem, why every country is just a badly run business, and why the UK can't take the one medicine that would fix it.

If your money's sitting in a bank account earning 2%, this is the wake-up call.

Most people confuse not caring with being fine. Jamie White thinks that's depression.

In this Naked Truth, Matt and Jamie trace the line between genuine resilience and putting a brave face on - moving from a real conversation about a friend who couldn't change, through Jamie's theory on what depression actually does when you let it run its course, to Matt's admission that two and a half years of legal battles and chronic illness probably tested that line more than he's let on. Jamie's conclusion: Matt hasn't just survived stress. He's been training for it his whole life. The question is whether that's genius or self-inflicted chaos - and whether any of it matters if the answer to "are you happy?" is still yes.

Most people discover Bitcoin through Reddit or a friend's investment tip. Daniel Pekic found it on the dark web - buying Xanax to come down from cocaine-laced parties. What started as an accidental transaction became a financial philosophy.

In this Naked Truth, Daniel traces the exact moment Bitcoin stopped being a number on a screen and became the cornerstone of how he protects his wealth, his freedom, and his future.

Most people won't change until the pain of staying the same hurts more than the change itself.

In this special episode, Matt sits down in Bali with his good friend Jamie White for a good old fashioned chat. Jamie, a coach who works with successful entrepreneurs on everything except the business: the stress, the relationships, the burnout, and the personal blocks that strategy and funnels can't fix. With no agenda and no script, Matt opens up about the moment that transformed his health, a comment from his ex that sent him from pushing plates away at dinner to discovering TRT, and why he now credits her comment as one of the best things that ever happened to him.

They also get into why Jamie deliberately pushes back on clients who want to hire him, whether Matt has ever actually been depressed, treating stress as a muscle you can train, the "will it kill me or bankrupt me?" framework for making fast decisions, why how you order starters predicts how you hire staff, and the case for outsourcing your flaws instead of fixing them.

He has a £10M net worth, face tattoos, and absolutely nothing to sell you - and that alone should tell you this conversation is going to be different.

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Daniel Pekic - Australian expat, Bitcoin holder since under $1k, and one of the most genuinely unbucketable people on the internet. They get into how Daniel actually built his wealth (hint: it starts on the dark web), why he considers $10M unimpressive by Dubai standards, and the one trait he believes the TikTok generation has completely lost.

Daniel doesn't hold back on the bigger picture either: the nanny state laws he happily breaks and why, his take on Western decline and whether it gets better before it gets worse, immigration, multiple passports, and what it really means to live as a sovereign individual. If you're tired of podcasts where someone's quietly selling you something, this is the antidote.

The fitness coach who spent 30 years hiding the secret that started it all.

Scott Harrison built one of the world's biggest online fitness programmes - 77 countries, tens of thousands of participants, a 100% success rate across chronic illness. But behind the results was a man who had been badly bullied at 13, carried an eating disorder through marriage and fatherhood, went through divorce, and lost a son. In this episode he strips it all back: where the darkness came from, how long he carried it, and why he wouldn't change any of it.

We also get into the fitness myths Scott has spent eight years dismantling. Why calorie deficit is the wrong focus, how you can party twice a week and still keep your results, what food actually does to your hormones, and what it really took to turn Rylan Clark from a malnourished nine stone into the person he became. One of the most honest conversations we've had on Stripping Off.

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. Facing a life of abuse, addiction, prison, and toxic relationships, Natalie has endured unimaginable hardship. But instead of letting her past define her, she’s used her journey to inspire others and empower herself to become a role model for breaking generational cycles of pain.

Natalie’s story will resonate with anyone who’s experienced adversity, whether it’s in relationships, personal growth, or addiction recovery. She shares the inner resolve it takes to walk away from toxicity and the process of healing that she calls “learning to love the woman that I am.” As Natalie so powerfully states, “If I can’t find a decent man, I’m sure as hell going to raise two.”

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free and create a life of purpose.

The Gladiator Mindset. Two heart attacks, £100 million lost, and 20 years learned the hard way. Then $700 in his pocket, everyone had given up, and Dubai was supposed to be a fresh start.

Dariush Soudi built and lost empires - gyms, tech companies, franchises - before arriving in Dubai broke, broken, and starting again from scratch.

In this conversation with Matt Haycox, Dariush breaks down what doing it the hard way really costs you, why most people are conditioned to lose before they even start, and how walking into every room like a gladiator became the philosophy that rebuilt everything.

Most people remember the highlights: the serve, the swagger, the Wimbledon final, the Davis Cup hero moments.

They don’t remember what it costs.

In this episode, Mark Philippoussis gets brutally honest about what happens when you get big money young (a multi-million FILA deal at 17), hit world-stopping highs (beating world #1 Pete Sampras at 19), then your body breaks, your career ends without your permission, and you’re left dealing with the fallout, mentally, financially, and personally. 

What you’ll learn in this episode

• The reality of making serious money at 17, and how it changes you. 
• The mindset of a teenager taking down Pete Sampras (and why “no one expects you to win” can be a weapon). 
• Comebacks aren’t motivational quotes, they’re rehab, dark days, and doing the work when no one’s watching. 
• What forced retirement does to your identity (especially when you never chose it). 
• Losing millions, making mistakes, and why asking “stupid questions” is how you get smart with money. 
• Mark’s daily high-performance routine (the “20-20-20” first hour) and how he sets long-term + daily goals.

The press didn't just cancel Dapper Laughs. They tried to bury him.

Dapper Laughs (Dan O'Reilly) was one of the first comedy influencers in the UK, built millions of followers from Vine to Facebook before TikTok existed, landed a TV show on ITV2, then watched it all collapse overnight. A press campaign branded him pro-r*pe, 60,000 people signed a petition, venues pulled out, promoters walked, and even the small comedy clubs wouldn't touch him. He lost the show, the tour, the money, the house, and his father... all around the same time.

In this conversation, Dan gets into the stuff most people only talk about once they're through it: what cancellation actually does to your mental health, how addiction crept in when the work dried up, and how sobriety, grief, and a brutal boxing regime became the foundation of a comeback nobody saw coming. He's now 1000+ days sober, on his biggest ever tour, turning his mental health platform into a registered charity, and writing his first original screenplay. The industry that blacklisted him can't ignore him anymore.

East 17 were everywhere in the 90s — chart hits, global tours, magazine covers, and a level of fame that most people can’t imagine.

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with John Hendy (East 17) to talk about the real story behind the headlines: how the band formed as four lads from Walthamstow (E17), how it went from “normal life” to Top of the Pops in months, the record deals and the money reality, and the internal tension that comes when fame moves faster than maturity.

John opens up on the moments fans still argue about: “Stay Another Day,” the Take That rivalry era, the Brian Harvey scandal and its fallout, and what it’s like to watch your career change overnight, then end up back doing normal graft again.

If you grew up on 90s pop, or you’re fascinated by what fame does to people, this is a proper behind-the-scenes listen.

Dubai dating is a different planet. In this episode, Matt sits down with Christiana Maxion, a high-net-worth matchmaker who works with wealthy men looking for a serious partner, and charges $65,000 to $350,000 to do it. 

They get into the brutal reality of “transactional” dating, where people say they want respect, while negotiating the relationship like a deal. Christiana explains why every relationship is transactional (money, emotions, sex, status, pick your currency), and why the real difference is the standard you hold and the environment you keep putting yourself in. 

Then it turns into pure business: how her offline matchmaking agency works (vetting, background checks, concierge dates, feedback loops), what “success” actually means, and how she’s scaling it with MAX, a “matchmaking app” built to stop people wasting their lives in DMs and get them to the first date faster. 

You’ll hear Matt & Christiana talk about:

• Why Dubai dating feels pay-to-play, and how to avoid ending up in the same loop. 
• The real reason men pay $65k–$350k for matchmaking (hint: it’s not romance, it’s time). 
• What her process actually looks like: vetting, alignment, concierge dates, and feedback. 
• “Delusional” requirements (and the fastest way to ruin your dating life). 
• How she built MAX: subscriptions, verification, compatibility matching, and auto-booked first dates. 
• The business model behind a matchmaking agency (and why referrals are the real growth engine). 
• Why she’s building separate matchmaking “portals” (expats, India, Muslim marriages) and expanding across the GCC.

Rob Lipsett says he hasn’t worked in 10 years, and he’s not saying that to flex. He’s saying it because he built a business that doesn’t rely on motivation, luck, or going viral. It relies on systems, content that ranks, and products people actually buy.

In this episode, Rob sits down with Matt to break down the real playbook behind his seven-figure fitness brand: how he started from zero, learned YouTube properly, and built an ecosystem that turns attention into income, without burning out or relying on one platform.

They go deep on what most creators and early-stage founders get wrong: thinking ads will make them rich, ignoring titles and thumbnails, and never building an offer that converts. Rob also shares his blunt views on market “saturation”, what biohacking actually does (and doesn’t) do, and how real estate became part of his long-term legacy plan.

If you’re building a personal brand, trying to escape the 9–5, or wondering how creators actually make real money, this episode will save you years of guessing.

You’ll hear Rob and Matt talk about:

• Why “market saturation” is a good thing (and why most people use it as an excuse). 
• The real formula: titles + thumbnails + the first 15 seconds. 
• How Rob went from early YouTube to a seven-figure business model. 
• Why ads aren’t the business — your product is. 
• Building an ecosystem: apps, partnerships, and offers that don’t depend on “posting more”.
• Supplements and biohacking: what’s real, what’s hype, and what to ignore. 
• Real estate, Villa Lipsett, and how influence creates unexpected opportunities.

Most people feel inflation, Spencer Lodge has lived inside it - across four countries, three decades, and more than one economic collapse.

Most people know James “Lockie” Locke from TOWIE. But the version the public sees isn’t the one he lives with every day.

In this conversation, James opens up about growing up in a broken home, the emotional walls he built to survive, and how those same walls later destroyed his friendships, relationships and sense of identity. He talks honestly about being judged, misunderstood, and constantly performing a version of himself that never felt real.

James reveals the truth behind his dating breakdowns, life after separation, business failures, and being labelled “the fall guy.” He shares the pressure to stay in shape while suffering body dysmorphia, the impact of fame on his mental health, and why stepping away from TOWIE wasn’t a career move, it was a life decision.

Boyzone looked like private jets and millions. Keith Duffy says the truth was the opposite.

In this episode, Keith joins Matt Haycox in Dubai to talk about what fame actually costs, confidence, identity, relationships, and (often) the money people assume you’ve got.

Keith opens up about Louis Walsh’s control and how being labelled “the big lad in the back who can’t sing” shattered his self-belief, even while the band was dominating charts.

Want to know about the music business lie? How expenses get recouped, how artists get billed for the lifestyle, and why Boyzone “hadn’t a penny” when the world thought they were loaded.

And in one of the most powerful parts of the conversation, Keith shares the family journey with his daughter Mia, the shock, the waiting lists, building support when none existed, and what early intervention changed over time.

This is a conversation about fame, money, manipulation, grief, resilience, and what life looks like when the arena lights go off.

Most people want “motivation.” Olympians build systems, and they learn how to perform when everything hurts, everything’s on the line, and you’ve got to go again in 20 minutes.

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Sarah Lindsay, 3x Olympic short track speed skater, European gold medallist, and a decade-long British champion, now founder of ROAR (London + Dubai) and one of the UK’s most sought-after trainers. 

Sarah breaks down what elite sport really teaches you about resilience, pressure, and identity… then how she used those lessons to build a premium training brand, recover from major injury, navigate litigation, and scale a high-touch coaching operation that delivers results without the usual fitness industry chaos. 

You’ll hear Matt and Sarah talk about:

• How Sarah went from “hyperactive kid” to elite athlete, and why sport saved her focus.
• The reality of Olympic sport: funding, pressure, and why it’s not “rich athlete life”.
• The Olympian mentality: resilience, emotional control, and performing under pressure.
• The injury that nearly ended her career, and the brutal rehab mindset that brought her back.
• Transitioning from athlete to PT: what most athletes get wrong after retirement.
• Building ROAR: why premium results require structure, coaching, and standards (not chaos gyms).
• Litigation lessons: what happens when business gets messy, and what she’d do differently.
• ROAR’s operating model: team-based client care + coaching systems that scale. 
• Dubai, high-performance lifestyle, and training high-profile clients.

What happens when surviving isn’t the end of the story, it’s the start of your mission?

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Lurata Lyon, author of Unbroken: Surviving Human Trafficking, to share a story that’s hard to hear, but important to understand. Lurata speaks openly about being trafficked, escaping captivity, the realities of grooming and exploitation, and what it took to rebuild her identity and life after everything she lived through.

“Why have you only got five locations?”

That’s what Michael Jackson asked Matt Fiddes, and what happened next turned into a global scaling lesson.

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Matt Fiddes, founder of a worldwide martial arts franchise network, to break down how he scaled from local studios into thousands of locations by doing what most business owners avoid: relentless front-end marketing, tight systems, and brand-building that creates trust at scale. 

But this isn’t just business. Matt also opens up about his decade-long relationship with Michael Jackson, what it was like being around that level of fame, how the media fallout changed his life after Michael died, and his perspective on the child abuse allegations, including the documentaries he points people towards. 

You’ll hear Matt and Matt talk about:

• The “napkin blueprint” moment with Michael Jackson, and the scaling lesson behind it. 
• Why most founders fail: they over-focus on the service and ignore marketing + sales. 
• The “15 marketing ideas by the 5th of every month” rule (and why it forces execution). 
• How brand + social proof beats copycats (and why people buy the name, not the tactics). 
• What it was like after Michael’s death: paparazzi, grief, and mental health. 
• Matt’s perspective on the abuse allegations, and why he says people should look deeper.

Former England Rugby Captain Chris Robshaw joins Matt Haycox for a raw and honest conversation about leadership, resilience, and the brutal reality of life after professional sport. From overcoming severe dyslexia as a child to leading his country at Twickenham, Chris shares how the discipline of a high-performance athlete translates into the world of business and entrepreneurship.

We dive deep into his evolution as a leader, moving from an insecure, "stick-oriented" captain to one rooted in empathy and culture building. Chris also opens up about the financial realities of rugby versus football, admits to "gambler" investment mistake, like a failed film tax scheme, and discusses how he is now building a new career through proactive networking and his charity work.

What We Discuss:

• Overcoming Early Struggles: How battling dyslexia and losing his father at a young age drove Chris to find structure and confidence through sport.
• Leadership Evolution: The transition from a dictator-style captain to a "carrot-oriented" leader who prioritizes understanding people and team culture.
• The Reality of Retirement: Dealing with the loss of identity, the inability to replace the "buzz" of the stadium, and the mental challenge of starting over.
• Financial Honesty: Debunking myths about rugby wealth, the danger of investing for tax breaks, and why Chris doesn't consider himself a "finance expert".
• Networking for Business Growth: How Chris proactively used his platform during his playing days to open doors in the wine and insurance industries.
• Resilience Mindset: Why success isn't about a secret remedy, but the ability to "keep turning up" through the ups and downs.

Professional heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher joins Matt for a raw conversation about mindset, discipline, pressure, and the business behind modern boxing. From debuting in a pitch-black COVID venue to building one of British boxing’s most commercially powerful fanbases, Johnny shares the psychological and strategic realities of the sport that most fighters never talk about.

Johnny breaks down the fear no boxer admits to, not fear of being hit, but fear of underperforming, and how he channels pressure into performance. He explains why commercial value now matters just as much as skill, and how fighters build careers through branding, storytelling, and audience connection. This episode is packed with insights that apply far beyond boxing: mindset, consistency, personal branding, and the ability to perform when it matters.

Whether you’re building a business, growing a personal brand, or pushing for the next level in your career, Johnny’s mentality and process offer a masterclass in discipline, entrepreneurial success, and performance growth.

What We Discuss:

• Johnny’s journey from debuting during COVID to becoming a fan favourite in British boxing.
• The mindset of a fighter: confidence, fear, belief, and performance under pressure
• The real fear in boxing, not getting hurt, but not performing to your standard.
• Why commercial value matters: brand, visibility, storytelling & fan engagement.
• Training discipline: twice-a-day fight camps, nutrition, routine & sacrifices.
• Joshua vs Ngannou, Fury analysis & heavyweight predictions from inside the sport.

Most people have branded Harvey Armstrong as "the cheater" from Made in Chelsea.

But behind the cameras is a founder who built a functional beer brand from scratch, quit a Big Four finance career at 23, and learned the hard way what fame does to your reputation, relationships, and mental health.

Harvey sits down with Matt Haycox to strip back the reality of reality TV, what’s real, what’s staged, and what the public never sees, while also walking through the real business strategy behind Prime Time Lager.

He opens up about quitting a stable accounting career, navigating backlash after public scandals, expanding a brand in a saturated beer market, and why he believes functional, “better-for-you” alcohol will be the next big wave.

If you’ve ever wondered what being on a show like Made in Chelsea actually does to your career, your bank account, your mental health, or your business, this episode tells the truth without the gloss.

International artist and fashion icon Domingo Zapata joins Matt Haycox for a no-BS chat about art, brand, and building a multimillion-dollar empire with paint, passion, and patience.

This episode dives deep into:

• Why marketing doesn’t sell $2M paintings, but brand does.
• The difference between painting what you see vs what you feel.
• How luxury is about story, not price tag, from Screaming Eagle wine to Rolex.
• Why discipline, not drugs, fuels Domingo’s creativity.
• The real return on investment of art: emotion, legacy, and status.

Plus, Domingo and Matt get real about fame, fakes, and why he’d never sell his Tiffany Patek, even for $4 million.

In this brutally honest episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Ross Mandel, a former Wall Street high-flyer who went from building a $30M empire to serving time behind bars. This isn’t just a story about money. It’s about power, addiction, ego, and redemption.

Ross opens up about how a “normal” childhood spiralled into a life driven by money, fuelled by personal tragedy, and eventually cracked wide open by government scrutiny. He shares what it was really like inside Wall Street’s golden age, how fortunes were made (and lost), how client relationships shaped everything, and what no one tells you about the financial system.

From shady legal grey areas to personal run-ins with Donald Trump, Ross doesn’t hold back. He talks openly about prison life, the brutal truth of starting over, and how he rebuilt his mindset through mentoring others on the inside.

Now? He measures success through his daughters, not a bank balance.

If you’ve ever glamorised Wall Street, this episode is your reality check.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns dives deep into the gritty world of British politics, tackling her own party, the civil service, and the influence of “woke culture” on British democracy. Known for her bold stance on Brexit, Andrea doesn’t mince words as she shares her journey from Greggs to Parliament and speaks on why she believes the political system needs a shake-up. Andrea discusses her fierce fight for Brexit, calling Parliament’s handling of the 17.4 million Brexit votes a “betrayal of democracy.” Her view? If leaders can’t deliver, they shouldn’t be in office.

Key Highlights:

• From Greggs to Parliament: Andrea shares how a personal tragedy drove her to fight for healthcare reform and democratic accountability.
• Calling Out Weak Leadership: She demanded Theresa May’s resignation, standing firm on Brexit’s importance and calling out government inaction as a failure to the public.
• Abuse and Threats: Andrea reveals disturbing threats she’s received targeting her family, underscoring the often limited support MPs have against harassment.
• Civil Service Crisis: Andrea argues that Britain’s civil service needs an overhaul, describing it as “woke” and “left-wing”—and a barrier to real progress.
• Fighting Woke Culture: From universities to the NHS, Andrea claims that “woke” policies are limiting free speech and eroding British common sense, urging politicians to defend national values rather than following popular opinion.

This episode is Andrea’s unfiltered take which raises questions about the direction of British politics and the role of accountability in government.

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!

*This episode is a must-watch for anyone struggling with their own battles or seeking to understand the profound effects of eating disorders. 

 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.

In addition to his musical endeavours, Tre is a passionate mentor and speaker, drawing from his own experiences to inspire others. Despite facing health challenges at a young age, including temporary paralysis and tinnitus, which ‘made him want to die’, coupled with the unexpected death of his brother, Tre has emerged stronger than ever, founding Alpha Clique to empower future leaders.

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!

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?
