Mad About... with Maddy Alexander-Grout
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…

You Think Your Competitor Is Copying You? Let’s Talk About That | Ep 98 | BUSINESS
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt THREATENED by people in your niche?
Have you avoided looking at what others are doing... or feared you'll be seen as a copy cat?
In this solo episode of Mad About Business, I open up about how I used to feel paralysed seeing someone in my industry “doing better” than me... and why that feeling comes from scarcity, not strategy.
We dive into why avoiding your competitors doesn’t protect you, it actually keeps you small.
From working with fellow ADHD advocates to inviting other visibility strategists into my world, I’m sharing the messy truth about what happens when you stop seeing everyone as competition and start finding ways to grow together. You’ll also hear about real moments from my own business journey, like being called out as a "Sickfluencer" and how I turned that narrative around.
Whether you're in coaching, consulting, or content creation, this episode is your reminder: there’s more than enough to go around – and you don’t have to do it alone.
