The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now This was an interesting interview with one of my former students, Prashant, because it covered a lot of topics.  We talked about how Prashant went from “over commanding others and possessiveness” to an amazing relationship with his wife.  What’s fascinating, to say the least, is that when he heard me say a single thing about death, it released him from a lifetime of fear about death and he also let released his “over commanding others” as a result.  Prashant's earlier nature was to control and command others, even his wife. Of course, when he stopped that, his relationship with his wife transformed.  We go on and talk about the extreme power of ANYI and how that can bring huge abundance into your life just as it did for him. It freed him from chasing business to literally transforming his business to the degree that he could turn down millions of dollars of potential business.  Further, we talked about the power of habits and how that has helped him transform his health and body.  Self-awareness came up and the importance of “taking action” with self-awareness.  And, finally, we discussed the subtle difference that many to most people into personal development miss and that is the deeper value of studying personal development and taking action on it.  As I said, this interview was all over but I’m certain many people will relate to a lot of it and find value.  Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now The headline of this podcast sounds like motivational hyperbole, but is it? In this episode, I interview one of my students, Leticia, and she’ll share with you how before we met me she was driven by “negativity, feelings of being lost, broken, unworthy and in complete victim mentality”.  Not only all this, but she also had “no idea” she was living this way because it had become a way of life for her. She became blind to her complete unhappiness because she lived it subconsciously and had lived it for so many years.  This goes to show all of us. No matter where we are in life, our external life is a reflection of our internal subconscious paradigms.  As I have said many times and you’ll hear her say, “She was operating from her head and not her heart.” And, this is vital that we all come to know this. I was the same when younger in life and what I have found is that when we work from our analytical mind we only find ourselves in the same traps over and over again.  On top of all this, she was in an “abusive relationship” and she felt like she could not get out because the world was in the midst of covid, her husband was disabled and she had no mobility because of lockdowns. Some can relate to her story, come cannot as many of us are not “that far down in life,” but everyone listening can realize one thing – no matter where you are in life you can change and have a better life when you work from one context.  And, that context is this…. “That’s enough, you are worthy.”  The reason most of us don’t have what we want in life is because we do not feel worthy.  Listen, learn, apply enjoy Mentioned Resources: Solve the three BIGGEST problems with 3 words Click here to register for The Be Do Have 3-Part Training Series starting March 3 Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now This is a really fascinating episode that demonstrates it does not matter where we came from because what really matters is how to choose to manage our thinking and our circumstances.  In this episode, I interview Priscilla, one of my current TCP students. As you’ll hear her say, she grew up in low-income housing and in an unpredictable world of chaos given her housing.  As a result of this, she learned at an early age to live in a constant state of anxiety and panic and she lives from catastrophic thinking.  As you’ll hear, she’s an ardent student of personal development, and she’s even been to some well-known programs, and though she learned a lot, she still had the debilitating past emotions and anxiety and trauma in her life.  Like many people, she had become so conditioned to the anxiety and catastrophic thinking that she had come to believe that “this is just the way life is.” Millions of people all around the world live constant states of anxiety, and hopefully, her story will be a beacon of hope and light to them. We don’t have to live in and with anxiety, most of us just don’t know any different.  Some huge takeaways from this episode are also that she “thought she knew it all” as she was going through my transformational coaching program, yet, even thinking this, she still had all the negative emotions and she quickly discovered that despite her foray into personal development for years, she never changed her subconscious context, hence, she kept repeating all the old debilitating thinking over and over again. This lead her to realize that working from what she thought she already knew was one of her biggest obstacles to getting the true transformation she wanted.  As well, she’ll reinforce how her life has gone from “work” to a life of revitalization and service, and she made this happen.  Transformational Takeaway: It does not matter what your past is or where you came from, what matters are your choices and your subconscious identity.

Start Your Transformation Now A few times a year I do LIVE coaching on Instagram. Candidly I think I could have done a better job on the last LIVE session but my team thought there were some nuggets in there that people could benefit from. So, I agreed to use the session as a podcast episode.  When I do NO BS coaching, it’s always a LIVE session and I cut right to the heart of the matter of what people are trying to work through.  In this episode, there were 5 “Hot Seats.”  Hot seat #1 was Patty, who was stuck on how to put herself out there with her new business venture. If you’re wanting to do something in life but you’re stuck or you’re in fear, then my conversation with Patty will resonate with you.  Hot seat #2 was Randy- Randy didn’t actually have a question, but everything happens for a reason and well, Randy shared that he has listened to every single episode of my podcast and it has transformed his life. I’m living my dharma and you’ve heard me say before, “If you don’t LOVE what you do, you’re wasting your life” and Randy was a great example of what happens when you make the choice to go all-in on what you love to do and what you’re on the planet to do.  Hot seat #3 was Christy. Christy, like so many others, has felt the effects of the past two years and she and I dialogue about how to navigate unpredictable times. This one is a biggie. Even if you feel you’ve been able to navigate the past two years and difficult times pretty well, make sure you pay special attention to this one if you’re looking for more inner peace.  Hot seat #4: If you’re the analytical type or if you’re wanting to value health over money or success, then my hot seat with Rafa will help you tremendously. Have you ever thought about the culture that you were brought up in and what it programmed you to believe? This one provided a lot of people with some powerful questions to start asking yourself.  And the last hot seat was with Tia who shared that she has been awakened after listening to my podcasts, especially episode #204 where I talked about what’s going on with the world. She asked how she can help more people. And she also asked a very powerful question at the end. A question that everyone can benefit from immensely. I’ll be doing more episodes like this from time to time.  Enjoy  Mentioned Resources: No BS 1-1 Coaching with me LIVE @ 1 pm PST on Feb 4th, 11th, 16th, 25th. Follow me on IG here to get notified!

Start Your Transformation Now There’s a phrase uttered by Richard Bandler, one of the co-founders of NLP, NeuroLinguinstic Programming. That phrase is: “The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of questions you ask yourself.” So, in this episode, I have seven questions for you and all of these have been asked to me by my mentor, don Xavier. Actually, I looked at old notes, I wrote these questions down in 2002. If you’re like me you’re always looking for growth, evolvement, and transformation in life and at the least hopefully, these questions can help you with some illumination. Also, as simple as these may seem, you will find a deeper explanation inside this week’s podcast episode. The seven questions are: [3:17] When are your two biggest fears valid? [9:25] Do you manage yourself with your body? [17:29] Do you like living in the past? [24:22] Do you use your left brain or your right brain more to figure out life? [31:59] How often do you use your excuses as reasons? [37:48] Do you fall by your own weight? [40:40] Would you rather have a pleasurable or perturbed life? All of these may sound like a simple snap answer, but when you look deeper, there is a great deal of introspection to be had with them.

Start Your Transformation Now I’m asked that question all the time, “Hey Jim, what’s going on in the world?” At face value, how would I know any more than any other person on the planet who is not a behind-the-scenes power player? However, I have heard a great deal from my brother-in-law, don Xavier. He’s talked about this for years. Changes on the planet – human corruption, power plays, human ego, you know, the destructive side of human beings. And, magnetic pole shifts on the planet and the devastation humans are creating. There are two things I want to address in this episode, the 6th mass potentially extinction coming to humanity. Yes, you read that right, and no, it’s not some Tom Clancy movie script. Even reputable scientists and organizations have placed humans well into the process of another global extinction. The second thing is the control and manipulation on the planet, I touch less on this though it’s a HOT and controversial topic, but anyone with their eyes and mind open can see that many things happening on the planet “Don’t make sense.” So, what is happening? Listen and I’ll share some thoughts. Candidly, don Xavier has talked about this for decades with me and in very specific detail and I have never shared the details, and I’m not starting here, but I can share some general food for thought. Why I don’t share what has been shared with me is because the masses don’t want to hear it. They want to hear what confirms their individual models of reality. Remember, “Most people don’t ask for the truth, they ask for what confirms their reality. Some might like this episode, some may hate it. My ONLY agenda is to give you power and help you live a more spiritually aligned life, energetically. Transformational Takeaway: We learn to live together as a species or the species dies together.

Start Your Transformation Now I’ve not done an interview with any of my past students in quite some time and I’m starting a short series again. This short series will assist many in understanding that any of us can change our lives quickly and live extraordinary lives when we make a few simple adjustments. One of the biggest challenges most people have is money and abundance. The irony is that making money is really pretty easy and most people make it exceptionally challenging. I know it’s both hard and easy because I used to be one of those people who made it super hard and now I make it super easy and teach my transformational students to do the same. In this episode, I’m visiting with Michele, one of my students. As you will hear, after going through my 14-week transformational coaching program she transformed her lifelong negative relationship with money. And, not only that, she went from a grade school teacher’s income to over $100,000 in just one year in her side business. Yes, she kept her job as a teacher because she loves teaching and she also turned it into a side business that makes her over $100,000 per year and she’ll tell you in her own words – it was pretty easy. As I have said, “Money is EASY to attract.” Yes, as you know, most of us make it hard. So, listen to Michele’s story and she’s going to share the secret that I have even shared here on my podcast. One that’s so simple that we often miss it. This one secret has brought over $15,000,000 into my own life in just a few years. Seriously and honestly! And, no pie-in-the-sky. No rah-rah, no BS! Attracting large sums of money is simply about working in the way that the universe works. As hokey as that sounds, that is the truth. Michele is proof. I am proof and 1000s of my students can tell you the same. Money is easy to attract. Money comes from a simple formula. It’s so simple it’s hard to believe. Until you put the formula to the test in your own life! Transformational Takeaway: Listen to this episode and discover how Michele easily started attracting over $100,000 per year in just one year in her “side business” and how you can use the same formula.

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to be who and what you are in front of others?  What are you so afraid of?  Who are you so afraid of?  Right now I’m afraid that I’m going to be judged for my last two dangling participles but who cares. Grammar nitpickers are going to hate, right?  Candidly, it’s easy to be who you are but it’s the fear that you’re going to be judged that stops you. And, for many, that fear is debilitating.  As well, for those who do live their lives on their own terms and from their own values, they have essentially liberated themselves from the enslavement of others.  In this episode, I talk about something that happened to me nearly 30 years ago that set me free of the judgment of pleasing others, trying to be liked, and looking for approval from others.  When we get to that place in our lives…that is true freedom.  This episode is a very personal one and hopefully it can help others free themselves from the suffocation of trying to gain the love and approval of others.
