This is an exciting and an unprecedented time for Layla Moran. At the time of recording this podcast Layla was only days away from knowing if she had won the battle to become the newly appointed Leader of the Liberal Democrat. VOTE LAYLA ​ This podcast is all about the inner workings of the mindset not only of a political candidate that is running to head up her party but the human being behind the media frenzy.

Check out the podcast today to hear her thoughts on leadership, mindset under pressure and her personal story that has taken her to this potentially very exciting time...
