About Mad About Money

Welcome to Mad About… The podcast amplifying neurodivergent voices, messy stories, and the brilliant humans who refuse to fit in boxes. Hosted by bestselling author and visibility strategist Maddy Alexander-Grout, Mad About… is a space where neurodivergent people get to speak for themselves. Each episode brings honest conversations about life, money, business, identity, and everything in between. No polished success stories. No pretending everything is perfect. Just real humans sharing real experiences. Because neurodivergent people have spent far too long being spoken about instead of being listened to. This podcast exists to change that. You’ll hear from entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, leaders, and everyday people who are navigating ADHD, autism, chronic conditions, hidden disabilities, and brains that simply work differently. Some episodes are funny. Some are raw. Some might make you rethink everything you thought you knew about success. But every single one gives someone a voice and visibility. Maddy built her business and audience by telling the truth about her own struggles with ADHD, money mistakes, and not fitting into traditional business spaces. Now she uses that platform to help others be seen, heard, and valued too. It’s about being real, imperfect, neurodivergent AF, and proud of it. If you've ever been told you’re too much, too loud, too different, or too chaotic… You’re in the right place. Welcome to Mad About…

   Ep122- Disability Competition- Who is Disabled Enough?

   Message Us! Apparently, being disabled now comes with a league table. Who knew? 🙃 In this episode of Mad About, Maddy is coming to you from bed, in pain, and with a bit of a rant about something that has been seriously pissing her off: disabled people being made to prove that they are “disabled enough” — and sometimes other disabled people joining in. After sharing a video about accessibility in Camden, Maddy was told that because she can get out of her wheelchair and walk, places with steps...

   Ep121- Burnout, PMDD and Working for FREE

   Message Us! This week, I’m mad at… myself. Because apparently I’m really bloody good at teaching other people how to build businesses around their capacity, energy, pain and neurodivergent brains… and significantly less good at taking my own advice. The last few weeks have been A LOT. Media appearances. Articles. LBC. Launching Access to Business. Writing my third book. Planning a documentary about hidden disability. Parenting. Trying to keep up with thousands of comments and messages. Attem...

   Ep120- Disabled & Scared- A life update from me

   Message Us! It’s been six weeks since I last picked up the podcast mic… and quite frankly, A LOT has happened. In this episode of Mad About, I’m giving you a proper life update. I talk about burnout, navigating the summer holidays with two neurodivergent kids, the frankly horrific way disabled and neurodivergent people are being talked about online and in the press, and why it’s made me even more determined to use my voice. I also share my plans for a new documentary/mini-series about the RE...

The Course That Changed My Business (& How It Can Change Yours Too!) - with Lisa Johnson | Ep 69

Published 3 Mar 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Do you see this with everybody right? So they all do the same thing. They go, well, no one needs to know that. No one's going to pay me to know that. All they say, we can get this information for free out there. But actually, it really doesn't matter. People don't want information that's just free because they don't believe it's real. No one knows what's real, what's AI, what isn't these days, what they want is information by a person that they trust because they've seen them plenty of times. People see you all the time. And so they trust what you're telling them. And yeah, I think that if people only realise that the stuff in their head is so knowledgeable, and when you say about it not being necessarily about business, yours was, visibility is about business.
