The Formidable Leyla Di Cori | LotDR Episode 045

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In Episode 45 we catch up with Leyla Di Cori, a veteran of both the ‘old’ and ‘new’ Death Races. Up until two months ago, Leyla had spent the better part of the past decade training for the day where she would finally earn her skull. That is, until earlier this summer when she received a diagnosis of cancer. Listen as she tells her story with humor and authenticity; reminding us how lucky we are to have suffered together and calls upon her death race family to give her the strength to overcome her biggest obstacle yet.

💀 What’s Up in My World:

The planet is on fire and the air here is unsafe to be out in. So, currently, I’m getting a great workout in patience.

Don’t forget, my book The Legend of the Death Race: Conquering Life with Courage, Power, & Wisdom is now available as an audiobook too!
