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.
Did you know that 70% of buying decisions are made to avoid losses, not to chase gains? That’s not just a business theory—it’s human nature. In this powerful insight into the psychology of negotiation, Chris Voss breaks down why fear of loss drives decision-making, how pressure affects our choices, and why understanding human nature is the ultimate business advantage.
If you’ve ever wanted to negotiate like a pro, close better deals, or understand what really drives people, this is the insight you’ve been waiting for.

Everyone wants success. Everyone wants more money, more freedom, more power. But what if I told you that most people who ‘make it’ end up miserable?
In this brutally honest episode, I reveal the real cost of success and why the last 12 months have been the worst of my life. I’ve spent over half a million in legal fees, lost friends I thought I could trust, barely slept, and for the first time, questioned everything I’d built.This is the wake-up call I wish I had earlier—because most people optimise for the wrong things without realising the trade-offs until it’s too late.
