In the first episode, we meet Laura Lean who embodied what was characteristic of a FANY (both past and present); a determination to face challenges head-on, with fortitude, pragmatism, and a sense of humour. This conversation took place only a few months before her tragic death from cancer at the age of only 48, and considers how to cope with failure, how we can draw strength from setbacks, and how to keep motivated in some of the most difficult circumstances.
