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.
