Podcasts about go be kind

I recently got to reconnect with my good friend, acclaimed author, adventurer, and host of the Netflix series "The Kindness Diaries" Leon Logothetis. Even though we come from totally different backgrounds, a serendipitous connection between us years ago changed both our lives forever! It all started with a simple tweet which led to an unexpected friendship. This in turn led to Leon recommending me for a life-changing volunteer trip, helping set me on my path of self-discovery.

Meet Leon Logothetis Leon Logothetis is a humanitarian, best-selling author, and cause-adventurer. He is the host of the Netflix series "The Kindness Diaries", where he circumnavigated the globe on his vintage yellow motorbike "Kindness One," giving life-changing gifts along the way to unsuspecting good Samaritans. All of this while relying solely on the kindness of strangers. In February 2019, a second season of the series was released, this time with Leon traveling from Alaska all the way to the bottom of Argentina. The show is currently being streamed on Netflix in 190 countries Leon's greatest passion is combining adventures with great, meaningful causes. He teamed up with First Book® and drove a car from London to Mongolia, raising money to buy 10,000 books for underprivileged children. He drove a vintage London taxi across the states, giving free cab rides to the needy and working with Classwish to bring hope back to schools. He has collaborated-for-a-cause on web-series for Southwest Airlines, Little Things, and Trivago, garnering millions of views and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for those in need.    Leon has documented his travels for numerous media outlets, including Good Morning America, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Outside, Good, Psychology Today, and The New York Times. His best-selling books "Amazing Adventures of a Nobody", "The Kindness Diaries", "Live, Love, Explore," and "Go Be Kind" are in stores now.     Where Kindness Begins Leon Logothetis started this inner journey after waking up realizing he had everything on the outside but felt empty on the inside. He decided to dedicate his life to finding his authentic self and essentially "unlearn everything we were taught."  This is a great question to ask yourself, what would be helpful to unlearn so that you can feel even more connected to your You-est You? Where can you begin to be more kind? To interject random acts of kindness into your life? How can you be more intentional and speak words of kindness daily? We have to train ourselves to live more purposefully in a kind manner, not just to others but also to ourselves.  Expanding Empathy Some of the most powerful takeaways from our conversation: Your life is not about living someone else's dream. Spend time in stillness, in nature, and silence to hear your own dream. The secret sauce of kindness is empathy.  There is no problem being as successful, wealthy, or famous as you can be. Just make sure you are basing everything on empathy, kindness, and compassion. There needs to be a bigger purpose in fulfilling any dream, goal, or desire. Find that bigger purpose, and hold close to it. Leon shared that he was a bit doubtful at the beginning of his expedition from Alaska to Argentina until he heard his inner wisdom say, "You are doing this because others will be inspired to be kind." This larger 'why' helped him in difficult times of doubt and fear during the rest of his trip. True wealth is in your heart. Never forget that. No material wealth can come close to the wealth that lives in you right now.    Hoping you were as inspired by Leon's experience, strength and wisdom as I was.

Leon Logothetis (IG: @thekindnessguy) is a global adventurer, TV host, motivational speaker, and bestselling author. Before this, 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. Leon decided to do something radical about it – give it all up for a life on the road. ​ He embarked on an adventure around the globe, fuelled by the receiving and giving of kindness. On his journey, Leon found the essence of humanity and learned about the bonds that connect people worldwide. He's devoted his life to inspiring the world with his message of kindness and hope. This is best shown through his Netflix series, The Kindness Diaries. In this episode, we discuss: Leon suffered from depression, isolation, and feeling unseen The magic of Mrs. Mann Following the path set out for us by others The turning point in Leon’s life Walking across America relying on the kindness of strangers Giving free cab rides in a vintage taxi Behind the scenes of The Kindness Diaries Asking strangers for help Sparking conversations through common interests We’ve lost our sense of community Why Leon travelled with older vehicles Stop being buried in your cell phone and unplug Tony, a lifelong friend Goodness is out there The beauty of travel Go be kind in your community Make a conscious decision to choose kindness Being kind to yourself Where did Leon find God?

132: Leon Logothetis: Author, TV Host, Cause Adventurer, Motivational Speaker & Philanthropist overcame depression and became an advocate for kindness through his books and his television work on The Kindness Diaries. Leon Logothetis Leon Logothetis talks about how he managed to change his life by putting kindness front and center and thinking with his heart, writing books, and television show The Kindness Diaries. “I did the first season of the show, which was also on Netflix. I took a vintage yellow motorbike from Los Angeles and I went all the way around the world all the way back to Los Angeles, relying on the kindness of strangers. People can now watch it on Amazon Prime. But the way it started, you have to go back to 2004, when I was working as a broker in London. On the outside, I pretty much had everything that you could want. But on the inside I was pretty much broken, and no one really knew except me.   On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Leon Logothetis, Author, TV Host, Cause Adventurer, Motivational Speaker and Philanthropist. Leon talks about how he overcame feeling lost, depressed, isolated, resistant to share his pain with others, until he came across the movie The Motorcycle Diaries. “When I watched it I realized that there was another way to live. It was about a guy traveling around from his heart and not living from his mind, and it just showed me there was another way to live. It showed me that I didn’t have to sit behind that desk. I didn’t have to follow someone else’s dream. I didn’t have to live another person’s life.”   What You Will Learn:   Leon Logothetis discusses what is is like looking for people to provide random acts of kindness in his television show. “Once you come from your heart they also more often than not come from their heart too. Yes, there are people who don’t and that’s fine. Whatever. But, the people that you see on the screen, it’s like you are bypassing the mind and you are going directly to the heart. You are connecting with them on a level that can’t be seen. It can only be felt, and if you mirror it to them, they will feel it.”   Leon shares his take on living mentally and living emotionally. “We are emotional creatures. Yet we live in a society that tells us you have to live from your mind. You have to live from your brain. You have to be clever. You have to be cunning. You have to be all of these things. But they forget that are super power is to be in touch with your feelings, and if you are in touch with your feelings, you are living in a totally different world. It doesn't mean that you let people walk all over you.”    How great was Leon’s fear of the unknown when he made the life transition away from the comfort of being a successful broker? “It is not an easy thing to follow your heart. But I would say, if you can find the courage to do that, everything will change. And what I am going to say now is, what truly pushed me to do what I do, what I did, was pain. I was in so much pain emotionally that I couldn’t sit behind that desk any longer and the pain pushed me to do something different. So, you know how many of us try to stay away from pain. I get that. But the pain is actually a gift. If you face the pain and you walk through the pain, at the end is a pot of gold.”   How have the people that showed Leon Logothetis kindness in the show affected him? “I started chatting with this guy, and I say, ‘Can I stay at your house tonight?’ And he goes, ‘Look, I’m really sorry. I’m homeless.’ So I’m like, ‘OK I just asked a homeless guy to stay in his house.’ I feel a little ashamed. But, I walk off and he turns around as says, ‘You know what, if you want, you can stay with me tonight. I will feed you. I will protect you. And I will give you some clothes.’ And that is exactly what happened. I ended up sleeping on the streets of Pittsburg with a homeless man for one night. The next morning I was able to set him up with an apartment and send him back to school.”    Why has kindness become the core message of Leon’s work and his life? “Kindness is freeing. It doesn’t matter how much money you have. It doesn’t matter how much money you don’t have. What matters is that it flows through all of us. We get to choose...True wealth is not in our wallets. But it is in our hearts.”    Experience the World    Having traveled all over the globe in the pursuit of happiness from the heart, Leon Logothetis gives his golden wisdom on how this quest has shaped his life. “One thing that I learned is, travel is the school of life. When you go out into the world you become better. You become wiser. You become kinder. You turn off the blinkers. If you just grow up in one little small place, and that is all you see. You turn on the channel and all you watch is one TV station, whether it is left-leaning or right-leaning, you are living in a little bubble. Go out into the world.”   Go Be Kind    During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Leon Logothetis also gets into the work that he has done as an author. He shares the backstory and inspiration behind his book Go Be Kind: 28 ½ Adventured Guaranteed to Make You Happier. “I created the book, it is really a journal for kids and adults to go and have a kindness diary adventure themselves. So they would go out and do these adventures in kindness to kind of just feel what it is like to live from the heart. And ‘the half,’ I mean, to be honest with you, it just sounds better.’  Links to Additional Resources: Leon Logothetis: Linkedin Instagram Twitter Facebook Leon Logothetis’ Website: leonlogothetis.com Book: Go Be Kind: 28 ½ Adventures Guaranteed to Make You Happier by Leon Logothetis

The Kindness Diaries, streaming on Netflix, is a series that follows Leon Logothetis as he travels the world relying solely on the kindness of strangers, which he pays back in unexpected, inspiring ways. Leon joins us to share how a once “lonely kid” grew up to be a successful stock broker and then, upon discovering his passion for human connection and kindness, has embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. His new book, Go Be Kind, and this conversation will leave you ready to do exactly that. Join us to rekindle your belief in human kindness and its power to change the world… starting with your own. SHOW NOTES "We need at least one person to see us for who we truly are." For Leon, this was an after-school teacher Mrs. Mann. She changed his life profoundly. Watching The Motorcycle Diaries sparked Leon's courage to quit his job and follow his dream. First, Leon hitchhiked from Times Square to Hollywood Sign with just $5 a day, documented in The Amazing Adventures of a Nobody. During Season 1 of The Kindness Diaries, a homeless man taught Leon two lessons: True wealth is not in our wallets but in our hearts. Kindness is free. Kindness is a win-win. You win and the person you're being kind to wins. Your presence + kindness are the greatest gifts you can ever give. Until we are connected to our hearts, we are not living. Leon is filming Season 3 of The Kindness Diaries where he travels from Scotland to Singapore relying solely on the kindness of strangers. Leon Logothetis' latest book Go Be Kind is now available here. Watch Leon Logothetis' series The Kindness Diaries now streaming on Netflix. Learn more about Leon Logothetis on his website.

Travelling with very little he made his way around the globe on kindness and became known as 'The Kindness Guy'.
