Summary
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.
