EPISODE DESCRIPTION
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.

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Leon Scott, Leon Scott | How To Use Your Influence explores footballer-Model Leon Scott Explains Mindfulness, Balance, And Real Influence Leon Scott, a semi-professional footballer and commercial model, explains how his unconventional career began with small clothing shoots and grew into campaigns for major brands, all while working full-time as a support worker for adults with autism and Down syndrome. He contrasts the superficial side of modeling and Instagram with his deeper interest in mindfulness, meditation, and personal development. Leon details how meditation and mindset work have changed his behavior on the pitch, improved his training, and reshaped his understanding of happiness away from material attachments. He and Chris Williamson also unpack the pressures and illusions of social media, and how to use an online platform to promote genuine growth rather than empty status.
