Wow, this was an awesome chat. It's not often I talk to a guest for ninety minutes and it feels like it's been thirty. I honestly could have chatted with Leila McDougall (pronounced 'Lee-la') for hours. Her energy, outlook, personality and authenticity make her conversationally intoxicating. She is an amazing woman, doing amazing things, overcoming adversity, inspiring communities and giving help where it's needed most. Amazingly, the girl who couldn't read or write until she was fifteen (due to undiagnosed dyslexia), went on to become an actor, movie producer, script writer, fashion designer, farmer, mum, school teacher, mental health advocate, business woman, Mrs Australia winner, cancer survivor (we didn't even get to that in our chat), former 'Farmer Wants a Wife' participant (is that the right word?), the focus of a recent episode of 'Australian Story' and as the title suggests, high-level problem solver. Enjoy.
