Summary
Leon Scott is a Semi-Professional Footballer, Model, Influencer and Online Coach.
The worlds of modelling, football and Instagram aren't often extolled for their virtue or commitment to mindfulness, but Leon is a non-typical member of these groups and is using his platform to promote mental wellbeing to the thousands who follow him.
Great to sit down with a kindred spirit today. We finally got to discuss how we both feel about having a desire to promote mental wellbeing through our channels and the requirement to balance that with the "game playing" which is needed to be successful online.

| 0:26.0 | and the message that he puts across is quite unique. |
| 0:29.0 | It talks a lot about virtues within life, happiness and non-material goods, |
| 0:35.0 | whilst also being flown to Las Vegas and LA to do photo shoots, |
| 0:40.0 | and obviously operating on a platform which is usually quite transactional and surface deep. |
