When purpose isn’t enough
What if your biggest spiritual breakthrough came… after writing a suicide note?
That’s what happened to my dear friend Leon Logothetis.
Longtime listeners might remember—Leon was my very first podcast guest. Back then, he had just circumnavigated the globe on his vintage yellow motorbike, relying entirely on the kindness of strangers to house him, feed him, and help gas up his bike.
That inspiring journey became The Kindness Diaries on Netflix.
But when he returned, he fell into a familiar depression—one he thought finding his purpose would cure.

And one night, when things got especially dark, he picked up a pen and wrote what he believed might be his final words.
But that moment sparked something unexpected: a genuine search for God.
He booked a flight to India the very next day.
This week’s episode isn’t just about kindness. It’s about what happens after the success, after the healing, after the purpose—when you're still searching.

Leon’s story is raw, honest, and a reminder that finding God—whatever that means to you—often starts with the decision to keep going.
To your growth,
Light
