The Mark Drager Show

Today's guest is the host of the heartwarming and truly profound series - the Kindness Diaries - an adventure series where our guest takes on cross-country adventures with no money, no plans, relying 100% on the generosity of the strangers he meets along the way. But this podcast isn't just a conversation about kindness, it's an open and real talk about man behind the series - what pushed him to walk away from a job in finance - what kept him going when it looked like the series would never take off - and ultimately how to find that inner kindness, for ourselves, not just others. You have to hear this story. So please help me welcome to the We Do Hard Things Podcast - Leon Logothetis. Hey there, I'm Mark Drager.

Today's guest was a wildly successful, LA-based professional dancer, choreographer, and fitness professional - who had her life turned upside-down when at the age of 38, she was hit by an SUV, and thrown from her motorcycle. Her leg was shattered, she faced 34 surgeries to save it from amputation. She was then diagnosed with an incurable painful-debilitating disease - and if that wasn't enough, she lost business and all her confidence. I think this is one of the most honest conversations we've had on the podcast - you have to hear this story. So please help me welcome to the We Do Hard Things Podcast - the author of True Grit and Grace, Amberly Lago.

Today's guest thought she had it all - career, health, relationships… and then, one day, as she watched her marriage fall apart, and the business go sideways, she realized that she didn't have it all. That in-fact, she had been settling in the most important areas of her life - settling for "good enough" But as she shares in her new book, Outrageous Achievement, not only did she not have to settle, she was able to turn everything around, and then some.
