    Balance, Burnham and the Pub Rates Cut — Ep 81
    2026/08/03
    Matt is recording from France, six weeks into a live experiment in balance, while Charlie holds the fort back in England. This week the lads get into whether business owners can ever truly switch off, why UK founders take barely half the time off they hand their own staff, and what Andy Burnham's new pub rates cut actually means for hospitality. Honest, direct and a little bit sweary, as always.Takeaways:⚖️ Balance is relative. What works for one owner and their family looks nothing like the next, so find your own version rather than judging others.😴 UK small business owners take an average of just 15 full days off a year, and around one in five sole traders take none at all. Switching off is the hardest skill to learn.🍺 Andy Burnham's 20 percent business rates cut for pubs, clubs and smaller music venues is a decent start, but roughly 1,100 pounds a year may not be enough for a sector on its knees.💷 A Labour government cutting tax to stimulate growth quietly admits you cannot tax your way to a stronger economy.🧩 If your business could not run for six weeks without you, whatever breaks first is exactly where you are truly needed, and a business you cannot run without is hard to sell and hard to step away from.Follow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/

  • Kill the Zombie Subscriptions – Ep 80

    Kill the Zombie Subscriptions – Ep 80
    2026/07/27
    Somewhere in your business, money is leaving your account every single month for something you completely forgot you signed up for.This one is a proper roll your sleeves up, admin episode of British Business: The Bottom Line. Matt and Charlie tackle cost control, and specifically the zombie subscriptions quietly draining your bank account on autopilot.They open with a stat that should make every business owner check their statements. Around 66% of software licenses worldwide are unused or surplus, and 15% are pure zombie apps, bought, forgotten, and renewing forever. Matt shares how software is one of the biggest costs in his business, the four grand license that renewed after he had already cancelled it, and why the frugal, cost aware founder almost always wins.Before that, Charlie unpacks a sharp Alex Hormozi lesson about solving future problems without future resources, and a Richard Branson post that sparks a proper debate about routine, structure, and whether there really is a one size fits all path to success. Plus a genuinely emotional Win of the Week as Matt visits his first retail store.Takeaways:🧟 Why 66% of software licenses go unused, and 15% are pure zombies💸 How cost creep quietly eats your profit month after month✂️ Matt's practical audit: print it, highlight it, cancel it🔄 Switching to cheaper disruptors without breaking your business🏬 A milestone moment as the first Holland's Country Clothing store opensFollow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/

  • Claude Check-In: What's Working, What's Not – Ep 79

    Claude Check-In: What's Working, What's Not – Ep 79
    2026/07/20
    Everyone says AI has transformed their business. Very few can actually prove it.It's another Claude Check-In on British Business: The Bottom Line, and this time Matt and Charlie get properly honest about where AI has helped, where it hasn't, and where it has quietly wasted their time.They open with a stat that sets the tone for the whole episode. Around 75% of businesses using AI report productivity gains, but only 12% report an actual rise in revenue. So is everyone really more productive, or does it just feel that way?Matt shares a genuine win, using AI throughout the process of restructuring his India operation and stripping out an intermediary, saving thousands a month straight to the bottom line. Charlie built an entire new business from scratch with Claude, website, stock system and all, that has so far added almost nothing to revenue. Knowledge return, not revenue return.Along the way they call out shiny object syndrome, the founders who claim their whole operation is automated, why AI written content sticks out like a sore thumb, and whether LinkedIn is dead or just needs a rethink.Takeaways:📊 Why 75% feel more productive but only 12% see more revenue🧠 Using AI as a consultant versus chasing shiny new projects💰 Matt's real win: thousands a month saved off the bottom line🚧 What is still broken: token limits, lost context and starting from scratch✍️ Why AI written content still sticks out, and what to do insteadFollow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/
