No Bollocks with Matt Haycox

In this episode of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, I sit down with finance coach and entrepreneur, Carol Glynn, to uncover the biggest myths surrounding personal and business finances. Carol shares her journey from corporate finance to empowering individuals and entrepreneurs to take control of their money. Whether you’re a successful entrepreneur or just getting started, you’ll learn how to gain financial clarity, make smarter investment decisions, and break through mental blocks around money.

• Why outsourcing your finances to an accountant might be one of the biggest mistakes you're making.

• The common misconceptions people have about money and how to avoid them.

As Carol says: "Money brings joy when you’re confident in your decisions and aligned with your values." Don’t miss out on this eye-opening discussion about taking control of your money and making it work for you.
