A quiet little corner of Greece, a climb up to an old castle, and that moment when you look up and realize you're standing under a story that's way bigger than you. In Koroni (Peloponnese), we pause at the holy Monastery of Timi Prodromos and talk about something simple, but not easy: if you're going to speak, teach, or "preach," first come under guidance, a living spiritual master, real surrender, real humility, then try to live the change. There's a sweet little greeting, a bit of banter, some strong words about hypocrisy (because sometimes love sounds like truth), and then a surprise twist, we get accepted into the monastery and head inside for the next video.
