Find A Pain Partner

In my interview with former pastor Sam Chand, we talked about finding a pain partner to walk through life with.

Ever since this interview, this idea has really intrigued me.

What Is A Pain Partner?

You’ve got to settle on your own definition of what a pain partner is. It’s unique to every person and how they want to live out their lives.

For me, my pain partner will:

Be willing to listen to me when I hurt

Be someone I can open up to about difficult situations in life

Be a person I can call day or night

Be understanding that we all fail at one point or another

Be able to listen without judgement

Your pain partner needs to be someone you can trust and someone you can contact at any time.

Embrace The Leadership Pain: Sam Chand Interview

So many people run from their pain, even in leadership.

We don’t like feeling pain. We think pain sucks (and it can). We want to get as far away from pain as possible.

But former pastor Sam Chand has a different take on pain. He believes that we need to embrace pain rather than push it away.

Sam Chand recently released his book, Leadership Pain: The Classroom For Growth, where he talks in depth about the issues of pain in leadership and what we should do with the pain. His thoughts are eye-opening.

With the release of his new book, I was able to secure an interview with Sam Chand.

During our time together, Sam and I discuss:

What Sam has done in his career and where he has lived (And, at one point, he lived just a few hours from me).
