Okiki Podcast: Episode 45: From darkness to light, how to turn your pain into purpose with Marc Blain
MARC BLAIN
CEO Founder
Marc grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He and his parents and siblings traveled every summer; He played highly competitive soccer and went on numerous trips for national tournaments. He was 14 when he began using drugs and alcohol to cover up the pain in my heart. This was my coping mechanism throughout my life and was a deep, real struggle for me. In my early 20's, He worked as a Sales Manager for car dealerships and pursued various entrepreneurial endeavors. He hit rock bottom and he was desperate for change. Through a friend, he discovered a new life through Jesus Christ. Through the grace of God, hard work, and mentorship, he has come to a place where he can say he has integrity.
"To find your life is to lose your life in service to others."
5 keypoints:
How to create someting different for your life from darkness.
Narcissism can “blind” you, can lose yourself.

If you’re a “me” leader there’s a problem. A “we” form of view iis more healthy.
Ask yourself: how can I do more for my life?
