"Kindness is simply helping someone feel less alone." Welcome to today's episode of the True Grit and Grace podcast with special guest Leon Logothestis, aka the King of Kindness. Leon is a renowned global adventurer and advocate for the power of kindness and connection, known for his popular TV series, the Kindness Diaries. Leon holds a unique perspective on kindness, viewing it as a universal gift that transcends financial situations. His experiences, from being bullied to receiving life-changing kindness from a homeless man, have shaped his belief that true wealth lies not in material possessions, but in how we treat others and make them feel valued. He encourages a shift from a mindset of fear and scarcity to one of abundance and compassion, inspiring individuals to spread kindness, regardless of their own circumstances. 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 – give it all up for a life on the road. He embarked on an adventure around the globe, fueled by the receiving and giving of kindness. Through kindness, he discovered that when we start to compare ourselves by our similarities instead of our differences, we start to create a brighter future. On his journeys, he found the essence of humanity and learned about the bonds that connect people worldwide. In this episode, Leon shares his remarkable journey of traveling to over a hundred countries, with a focus on highlighting the goodness in humanity. Throughout the episode, kindness takes center stage, demonstrating how even a small act of kindness can have a world-changing impact and how kindness is something universally understood. Amberly and Leon also discuss the importance of bravery and how it can lead to personal fulfillment and help overcome feelings of loneliness. Leon's experiences illustrate how stepping out of one's comfort zone can lead to growth and happiness. Tune in to be inspired to go out and be brave in your own life.

Growing up in London with a Ghanaian father and Japanese mother, Kute's empathetic nature led him to want to help people.

When I met Lindsey at an event, one of the first things I noticed was her amazing and beautiful legs. I went up and squeezed them -- and then we became friends! We've since spoken at the same events, she came to my recent event, we've podcasted together, and it's just the start of our friendship. I love Lindsey's energy, passion, brains, and what she shares is possible when we find our self-confidence. I can't wait for you to hear her perspective and story about grit and grace. Lindsey Schwartz is an entrepreneur, top podcast host, and best-selling author. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She's also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink. As a sought after speaker, Lindsey travels around the world inspiring women to get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas, and helping them create the careers they've always dreamed of. After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don't have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone! In this episode, Lindsey shares some of her top tips for finding self-confidence as a speaker, a leader, and a public figure.

We're talking about addiction and sobriety in a new way on the show. You know I've been on my own journey with sobriety for several years now, and it's a daily choice. Part of my purpose is transforming my pain into helping others to rise above whatever circumstances may be driving them towards addiction. My friend Dr. Robb Kelly knows so much about how to do this. Being a recovered alcoholic himself, he helps addicts understand their family's role in their addiction in order to become sober for good. Here's just one insight he started off with: "Alcoholics are born, drug addicts are made." Robb Kelly, PhD is a world-renowned addiction expert who believes in treating the problem, not the symptoms. He has worked for many years helping addicts and alcoholics to recover their lives from the disease of addiction. Based on his own experiences working with addicts and alcoholics over the last 20 years, combined with a PhD in psychology, and as a recovered alcoholic himself – he is a triple threat against the disease of addiction. Dr. Kelly's philosophy may seem unconventional and unorthodox. But, they are based on extensive research and behavior studies that he conducted over the last 20 years. He pulls the disease out of his clients and empowers them to fight their disease head on. Some people have referred to him as "The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World" because of his direct, no-nonsense, and candid approach to recovery. He has discovered that in order to get his clients to change their thinking, they must confront their disease with candor and vigor. Dr. Kelly works to "make the road of recovery less of a mystery tour." Robb Kelly, PhD has worked with thousands of people including celebrities of film, music, and sports. He has lectured at many high profile universities and hospitals on the subject of addiction, and is recognized as a leading authority on addiction recovery methods that are changing lives all around the world. Today, he is living his dream, instead of dreaming of living. In this episode, Dr. Robb shares powerful insights into addiction, sobriety, healing our bodies and minds, and much more. He is so generous, he even shared his personal cell phone number at the end of the episode to be available to anyone facing an addiction crisis! Here's what you will learn: The ways that drug addiction differs from alcoholism (8:33) Why somatic experience works (13:21) How alcoholics respond to tone (20:10) How brainspotting works (29:27) Tune in to this episode and learn something new!

Today's guest is someone I am so uplifted and inspired by every time I talk to him. He has a similar story to me of learning true grit and grace through really tough life experiences, and yes, he is speaking at our Unstoppable Success Summit in March! Justin Schenck is the host of the INC Magazine top rated podcast the Growth Now Movement and host of the world renowned event Growth Now Movement LIVE! But, it wasn't always like that. He found himself with a 1.7 GPA, while his mom was in the middle of a 20 year opioid battle and his dad was in jail. All signs pointed to no hope. Then, at 19 years old he got introduced to personal development by a mentor. He became obsessed with the idea that he has full control over the outcome of his life simply by choosing to grow. He launched the Growth Now Movement podcast in 2016. Now it gets played in over 100 countries every single week, he speaks all over the country on overcoming adversity, and most importantly, he's discovered that we all have the power to create our own happiness, to grow into the person we were meant to be, and that we can all create the life we truly desire. In this episode, Justin tells the powerful stories from his own life of how he has committed to her personal growth no matter what, how he has learned to build healthy, thriving relationships, and what it takes for you to do the same. I hope you'll join us in person in March to hear Justin speak on stage at the Unstoppable Success Summit! Here's what you will learn: Why he started his podcast (5:24) How to overcome limiting beliefs (11:42) The importance of giving first so the universe can give back (19:15) Surrounding yourself with good people and how it can build your confidence (25:19) Building through understanding your constant evolution (33:42) Tune in to this episode and learn something new!
