E.17 - Being Brave with Leon Logothetis

Leon Logothetis, aka "The Kindness Guy" has traveled the world searching for clues to what makes us human and giving life-changing gifts to good Samaritans. His new book, Go Be Brave: 24 3/4 Adventures for a Fearless, Wiser, and Truly Magnificent Life, helps readers 'strengthen their being-human muscle' and reminds them how brave they truly are.

In this episode, Leon shares his personal struggles with depression, being bullied, and the choices he made to free himself from an unfulfilling, inauthentic life. We'll hear him explain the key difference between courage and bravery, what his biggest struggle is NOW (even after becoming a best-selling author, tv host, and global adventurer), and the essential 'mental fitness power tools' that he believes everyone should try.

Quotable:

"I'm English and I love Winston Churchill. I know a lot about him. Again, not perfect by any stretch, but he has many beautiful quotes and one of his quotes was, 'Never, never, never give up.' And when you're down, it's okay to stay down. And when you're down, it's okay to feel like there's no hope as long as you never, never, never give up."

"I had that realization again, that the true act of bravery is speaking our truth, our emotional truth. Sharing our pain and ultimately standing in our power."

"Your truth is yours. My truth is mine. That's why sometimes the word truth gets a bad rap. Because it's like, how do you know what my truth is? I don't know what your truth is. But you know your truth after writing in that truth diary and after sharing your pain. After feeling who you truly are. You know your truth. And no one can take that away from you."

About our Guest:

Before Leon Logothetis became a global adventurer, TV host, motivational speaker, and best-selling author, he was living an uninspired and disconnected life as a broker in London. On the outside, it looked like he had it all. But inside, he was chronically depressed. He decided to do something radical about it: he gave it all up for a life on the road. He embarked on an adventure around the globe, all fueled by receiving and giving kindness. On his journey, he discovered the essence of humanity and learned the bonds that connect people worldwide. Through kindness, he realized that when people compare their similarities instead of their differences, they begin to create a brighter future together. For over a decade, Leon has traveled to over 100 countries and to every continent. He has devoted his life to inspiring the world with his message of kindness and hope, and has documented his experiences through his best-selling books and TV shows, particularly The Kindness Diaries, now streaming on Discovery+. When he's not making TV shows and writing books, Leon is traveling around the world and speaking to schools and businesses about the power of kindness, compassion, and empathy.

Today, Leon is the founder of Winston Entertainment, a travel/adventure television production company that produces content that highlights the good in humanity, and he has worked with many well-being brands and companies to ignite a spark of love, adventure, and humanity into their message to expand their global awareness.

In all the work he does, Leon's goal is to always make a positive impact on the world.
