Leadership Pain with Sam Chand

In this episode, Dr. Sam Chand talks about how our leadership will only grow to the threshold of our pain.

Episode Summary:
- Most people don't see how seriously I take every call, email, and interview. "You never know who you are helping."

- What's the difference between the leader of a large organization and a small organization? Pain-tolerance is the key differentiator.

- Pain isn't age centric. You'll deal with pain all throughout your leadership journey.

- Idealism must be kept. Those who are older, don't trample on others idealistic dreams. "Let people dream!" Regardless of age or season, "stay idealistic!"

- Become a student of your dreams. Seek out people who are doing what you want to be doing and study what they do.

- The best advice that was ever given to me is "Live long & live clean."
It's important to have truth-tellers in your life. These are people that care more about keeping you out of the ditch than your opinion of them.

- The number one question I ask leaders is "How are you doing... really?"

"You'll only grow to the threshold of your pain"
