Episode 43 - in conversation with Maddy Alexander-Grout

We had a fascinating chat with Maddy in this episode and got the first, exclusive scoop on her recent PR experience with some very negative national media coverage where she was labelled as a 'Sickfluencer' just because she helps people to claim Access To Work funding, which she rightly quashed and dealt with fabulously.We also asked Maddy all about her role, having been named as one of the Disability Power 100 in 2024 and had a great time talking about the songs she would pick to represent her.We finished by talking all about how we stay visible in business and there are some great nuggets in there for you all to take away.Don't forget to connect with Maddy at the links below and check out her stanstore where you can find the links to pre-order her book 'Mad About Money' and download the 'Mad About Money' app, as well as finding lots of other fab resources.You can find Maddy in the following places:Stanstore: https://stan.store/maddyalexandergrout?fbclid=IwY2xjawIVqSJleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHX14sxWtu8WtRMwxa3lPYVKyFMC0Mf5wsBxn3QlmVwA9s87P46XSeVucMQ_aem_t0BGTif6Sbc-lQkzaaaKDwLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maddyalexander-grout-mad-about-money/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maddy.comrieInsta: https://www.instagram.com/maddytalksmoney/TikTok: MadAboutMoneyOfficialMaddy is a visibility strategist, ADHD coach, and advocate for people with hidden disabilities.
