People who hand over their balls, and their voice, to lawyers, PR reps, and anyone else who tells them to “stay quiet and let it blow over.”In this episode, I break down how I handled a mainstream newspaper trying to drag me. Instead of hiding, I fired my lawyer and said what most people are too scared to say: the f*cking truth.
Because I’d rather go down swinging than stay silent while someone rewrites my story.
If you’re building something that matters, you’ll be hated.
The real question is, do you have the balls to speak anyway?Timestamps

1:03 – I fired my lawyer

2:47 – Grow a spine. Say your truth.________________________________________________________________________________________

Everyone's screaming that the 9 to 5 is dead.
"Work should fit around your life!"
"Remote forever!"
"Flexibility is a human right!"Cool. But here’s the truth, most people haven’t earned that kind of freedom.
In this straight-talking solo episode, Matt breaks down the myth that structure is broken. From LinkedIn waffle to TikTok victimhood, we unpack why routine builds results, why freedom is a reward (not a right), and what to do if you really want out of the system.

You think Base Camp’s just a warm-up? Bullshit.
In this no-bollocks debrief, I sit down with my good mate JP to unpack what really went down on my Everest Base Camp trek, years after taking on Kilimanjaro together. We’re talking altitude headaches, freezing nights, yak sh*t, Sherpa legends… and a few serious lessons that’ll punch you harder than the cold ever could.
This episode isn’t about mountaineering, it’s about who you become when things get hard, and why pushing your limits is the smartest move you’ll ever make in business and in life.
