About Us

When Simon Brewer and Will Campion founded The Money Maze Podcast they wanted to create a financial podcast that was worth their listeners’ time, from start to finish.
The formula? Incisive opinion, valuable investment insights and relatable stories, straight from key industry decision makers!

We call it storytelling with insights.

The Money Maze Formula

Global Leaders

Each episode, we invite leading figures from the global finance industry to talk with us. Europe has all the same challenges that confront the investment management industry globally, but courtesy of our geography, we face both east and west, allowing for different investment and cultural perspectives.

Respected Institutions

We welcome guests from some of the most respected financial institutions in the world, responsible for allocating billions of dollars, including asset managers, PE firms and hedge funds. We’re proud to open the doors on an industry which is often opaque, bringing key insights to all.

Improving the Industry

To help the next generation break into the sector, we now have a dedicated careers page, matching our student listener community with finance career opportunities. We also sponsor a number of business & finance university societies and are partnered with GAIN UK (a fantastic charity set up to help more young women get involved in the investment management industry).
