The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowThis is an unusual podcast episode and one I feel will be both educational and inspirational to many.A few months back my Fall Transformational Coaching Program participated in a campaign to raise funds for a global charity called charity: water. charity: water brings water infrastructure to remote villages in the world where there is no water.I was blown away by the extraordinary generosity of my group. In just one week we raised $124,000 for charity: water and we changed the lives of many people, especially women, for a generation.In this episode I interviewed Scott Harrison, he’s the founder of charity: water.Scott has an interesting story. As you’ll hear, he went from a nightclub promoter to someone who created a charity that’s doing extraordinary things in the world!Initially, I wanted to interview him to hear his personal story so others could be inspired and learn from it and it turned into a segment about charity: water, which candidly, we should all hear.It’s mind-blowing the number of women in the world who spend an entire day just gathering and carrying water for their family. You’ll hear some extraordinary stories in this interview.In the end, Scott did share how he learned to live his life and that is exactly what I wanted to come across to you. Living your life for things greater than yourself. Living your life in service.Living your life for others is the surest way to create an extraordinary life for yourself.Enjoy!Mentioned Resources:For more information on charity: water, or to donate, visit:https://www.jimfortin.com/charity-water-12-22Click on the blue “Donate Now” button and choose to “Give Once” as a one-time donation OR choose “Monthly” and join The Spring, which is the monthly donating community.

Start Your Transformation NowThis week is a bit unusual because it’s not my normal podcast format. It’s an Instagram LIVE turned into a podcast episode.I got a lot of feedback from the podcast interview with Bruce Lipton, as I expected. 99% of if was positive and supportive and then, of course, you’re never going to please everyone, the other 1%.I want to highlight here what I covered in that IG LIVE / Podcast.I dove into the history of Science and gave examples of how the science of today is incomplete and only a “data point.” As well, it’s not the end-all-be-all word on all matters in life and especially not in medicine and the potential of the human body.I touched on the “Human condition” and the deceptions of humanity, especially around government agendas, money, and control…and even more specifically about health care. It may upset a lot of people but I stated what I have observed as the obvious. The majority of the health care system in the US is a profit-driven machine and to a large degree, the system works in the best interest of the profiteers, not people in need of medical care and healing.Next, I went into why you should seek medical care when matters of trauma arise and how it’s smart to get a medical opinion but to use it only as a “data point.” In my personal experience, working with the mind-body connection, the subconscious mind, the power of the proven placebo effect, and ancient healing methods often produce far greater results in actual healing as opposed to dependency on medical intervention.I was a bit fired up because it’s disturbing to observe so much corruption on the planet that actually hurts millions if not billions of people, specifically around pharmaceutical companies and health care. And for what? Profit and control!I know this was a Q&A but I did answer the questions on my fired-up tirade. Some will hate it, some will like it. Does not matter, do your OWN research and you’ll find a great deal of truth in what I said on this IG live.As well, some of the questions were asked from incomplete models of logic and were asked from very limited understandings of medicine, healing, and the human/spiritual connection itself. Do some research in this area, you might just be surprised how much power you have in your own mind to heal yourself of any and all ailments.And finally, I talk a bit about my healing and how others can heal using the power of their mind. It’s shockingly simple, I DID IT, I had BOTH a stroke and heart failure in 2020 and I’m healthy today, it is so simple to heal that most of us miss it.If I can do it, you can do it. And, it does require that you start trusting the inherent wisdom in your mind and body and not rely on the “medical system” so much.ENJOYMentioned Resources:Episode 213: Bruce Lipton – Warning, This Episode Is Not For Everyone.EPISODE 190: “Are You Smarter Than A Potato?”Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss MD.The Relaxation Response by Herbert BensonMind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself – by Lissa RankinMind Over Meds: Know When Drugs Are Necessary, When Alternatives Are Better-and When to Let Your Body Heal on Its Own -by Andrew Weil MDDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowSo, from the headline, let’s finish it: You probably won’t change your life until you hit threshold. What’d does this mean? It means if you’re like most people you won’t do anything different in your life until you’re in enough pain to do something different. You may complain, hope, wish, want, and pray but at the end of the day you already know that won’t work and at that point, people will do one of two things: They’ll quit and sink deeper or they’ll be sick and tired of being sick and tried and finally do something different. Let’s look at this in a different way. Nothing much will change in your life until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired or until you just get tired of hitting threshold and you commit to working from outside your comfort zone. It’s generally staying in your comfort zone that compounds into more and even greater pain. So, can you relate or are you one of the small percentage that says, “Hey Jim, I listen to your podcast and others and I’m into personal development and I have been for years, what you are saying does not apply to me.” My question to you…Are you so sure you’re actually different than the other people in the other category that I talk about? Truth be told, you’re not much different even if you think you are? You’re just different but only by degree but not by doing every single thing, it takes to create the exact life that you want. Even people into personal development, I see many struggle for decades and they are always developing themselves and they do feel better but often times I still see them dead broke, sick, etc. WHY? Because they won’t change and they won’t change because they are not in enough pain yet. So, no matter where you are on the spectrum of change, you can always do better and do more but things have to change in you for things to change in your life. And, you have to abandon your old model of working from the motivation of pain. Transformational Takeaway: Nothing much will change in your life until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired or until you just get tired of hitting threshold and you commit to working from outside your comfort zone. It’s generally staying in your comfort zone that compounds into more and even greater pain.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowWow, what a podcast interview this week. Bruce Lipton was my guest. What a great guy!Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford Medical School. His pioneering research on cloned human stem cells presaged today’s revolutionary new field of epigenetics.He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and The Honeymoon Effect, and he is the co-author, with Steve Bhaerman, of Spontaneous Evolution. Bruce received the prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.Bruce has a worldwide following so you may or may not have heard some of what we talk about. However, in the last part of the interview I opened the door to “What do you think about that pesky little virus going around the planet?”In the first part of the interview, we talked about…How genes do not control your life, as we have been conditioned to believe. Your nervous system reads your environment, interprets your environment, and then sends the control signal to your cells. And, from there your cells correspond to the signals and create health or sickness.Said in plain English, sickness and cancer do not start first in the body, they start in the mind and in our thinking.We talked about how controlling your genes is not in your genes, it’s in your environment and he went on to share that we actually control our genes by our interpretations/thoughts.And yes, we talked about stress and how it shuts down your immune system and how all mainstream media keeps the masses in a constant start of stress which makes them more vulnerable to picking up a virus or sickness.And, that lead to the talk about the pesky little virus on the planet. Many will like his answer, many will not. Personally, I like his message and agree with it.WARNING: This podcast is not for everyone.Mentioned Resources:Visit Bruce Lipton’s website here: https://www.brucelipton.com/Books by Dr. Bruce Lipton:The Biology of BeliefThe Honeymoon EffectDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIf you’re like most people and if you were asked “How soon do you quit?” you’d probably be inclined to not admit it if you were so inclined. This episode is obviously about not quitting before you create what you want in life. If we look at simple motivation we’ll discover and we have heard things like, “You have to keep your nose to the grindstone” but if that really worked then wouldn’t we all just keep our noses to the grindstone? Obviously, we don’t keep moving forward when things get tough, most of us just quit. When we’re talking about perseverance it comes down to a few things. In this episode, I talk about responsibility, self-integrity, resources, and resourcefulness. And, I talk a bit about the brain-based influences of following through and not quitting. The predominant themes in this call are resourcefulness and creativity. Meaning, we often quit because we lack resourcefulness and/or creativity. In simple terms, when we hit a wall, instead of “figuring it out” we lack the creativity to figure it out and most of us quit. And, then we wonder why we never have what we truly want in life. When we recognize that resourcefulness is one of the most powerful traits we can have and exhibit we can then make just about anything happen that we want to in life. I also hop over to intention, will, and making things happen in life instead of quitting. Transformational Takeaway: The bottom line is that if you don’t have something in life that you want then you are not being 100% responsible for making it happen and you’re not being resourceful enough to be responsible.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThis was a fun episode for me. As I was going through some old notes in the past few days and listening to some audios at the gym I picked five distinctions of thinking that I know can add huge value to your life if you ingrate them into your thinking. I’ll give you a synopsis of the episode and the five distinctions and you have to listen to the episode to get my full explanations. 1) Gratitude Is Not Given With Your Mouth  2) You’ll See It When You Believe It Is Not Always True3) Assuming Isn’t Going To Make An “ASS Of You And Me.” 4) If You Desire Something In Life, Ask The One You Have Confidence In To Assist You. 5) How Long Will It Take You To Change Your Life? Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantThink and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThere is probably not a person who listens to this podcast that does not get into fear. Fear is debilitating. It’s more debilitating than any disease, and many times fear itself keeps people “in” disease. I am currently finishing this Spring’s offering of my 14-week transformational program and I observe many people getting into fear and that is exactly what inspired this episode. Many people want to enroll in my full immersion program and they are afraid of the investment. Even though I have a full 100% guarantee and 1000s of student video testimonials, many don’t believe it and still get into fear. I used to have these six questions in my Be-Do-Have series that I also just finished, but I took them out of it this round. I should have left them in. Normally, I’d tell you the six questions, but I won’t because you have to listen to the podcast to hear them all. Listen to them carefully. These questions are ones I have used personally for many years. These days I get into very few fears, which I discuss in the episode, but all of these questions have helped me tremendously at one time or another in my life. And, they can do the same for you when you write them down and ask yourself one or all of these questions the next time fear strikes you. Chew on them, ponder them, see how they apply to your own life and how you can use them to get out of your comfort zones. They work. Use them.Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 104: Using Your Intention And Will To Create And ManifestLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThis 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?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThe 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 enjoyMentioned Resources:Solve the three BIGGEST problems with 3 wordsClick here to register for The Be Do Have 3-Part Training Series starting March 3Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThis 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.Mentioned Resources:No BS 1-1 Coaching with me LIVE @ 1 pm PST on Feb 4th, 11th, 16th, 25th.
