The Jim Fortin Podcast

⁠Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people you go through your days never having enough time, always playing “catch up” and wondering what you can do differently to get things done, right? If this is you, then you’re going to love this podcast episode because getting everything done that you need to is not about managing your time, it’s about prioritizing your commitments and values. When you know what you value most and what you’re committed to, it’s then easy to understand how you need to prioritize your time. If you don’t know what you’re committed to you don’t know how you’re choosing and when you don’t know how you’re choosing you’re mismanaging your time. Actually, the reason most people never have enough time is because they manage their day by time, and when you manage your day by time, you’ll never have enough time. Look at your own life and you’ll probably find that to be true. If you want to “catch up” and be productive and get things done then you must start managing your time by commitments and values. In this episode I discuss:Managing your time is no longer about the clockWhenever you manage your time by time or circumstance, you will never have enough timePrioritize your time, energy, and effort to get you to bigger long-term rewards, than chasing your tail every single dayWhat am I committed to? Whatever you are committed to is what you want to prioritizeIf you don’t know what you are committed to, you don’t know how you’re choosing, then you do not know how you are investing or squandering your timeWhatever you’re in the habit of, is how you invest your timeWhat am I committed to and who do I have to BE to make it happen Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Instead of working from the clock, and by the clock, where you want to start working from is, what am I committed to?

Start Your Transformation Now What if you’re not just capable of abundance—but are abundance itself? In part three of the Zero Limit Person series, Jim Fortin invites listeners to challenge everything they’ve been taught about prosperity and manifestation. This episode, I Am Infinite Abundance, unpacks the powerful truth that abundance isn’t something to chase—it’s something to know, embody, and live from.  Jim takes a bold stance against the noise and distraction of modern life that keeps us externally focused and disconnected from our true nature. Through clear examples and deep reflection, he explains why most people work backwards in life—believing they must "attract" abundance rather than realizing they already are it. He reveals how inner alignment with infinite source energy, not outer action, is the true key to prosperity.  If you’ve ever struggled with money, worth, or success, this episode is your invitation to stop chasing and start remembering who you really are.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  You Are Infinite Abundance, Not Just a Magnet for It (02:20) Jim explains the critical difference between attracting abundance and being abundance.  The Content vs. Context Distinction (05:30) Why most people fail to transform despite consuming content—and how to shift into real integration.  Why Silence Is the Gateway to Abundance (08:45) Jim shares a powerful self-reflection exercise and explains why so many fear being alone with themselves.  The Truth About Manifestation and Internal State (16:15) A compelling story about two massage therapists and how your being shapes your abundance—not your doing.  The Universe Doesn't Judge—It Responds (30:00) Even polarizing figures like Trump channel abundance. Why? Because they identify with it.  Money Is a Mirror of Your Inner Reality (35:30) Jim breaks down how fear repels abundance and why love and alignment are the true attractors.  Claim Your Identity as Source (40:48) You don’t become infinite abundance—you are it. It’s time to remember.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not separate from abundance. You are not something broken that needs fixing. You are consciousness, divine mind, infinite source—expressing through human form. The illusion of lack is just that: an illusion. When you stop chasing and start knowing, life responds. Infinite abundance isn’t something you “get.” It’s what you are. Remember this truth, live from this truth, and everything changes. Stop asking. Start being.  Mentioned Resources Being A Zero Limit Person Being A Zero Limit Person, Part 2 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 Now How many times have you tried to change and failed and then said things like…“I’m so weak, I have no willpower, I can’t trust myself,” and the like?Well, the truth is this, when you’ve tried to change in the past and failed, it’s not about you personally, it’s about your habits. More specifically, it’s about your reptilian brain habits.So, when you’ve tried to change before and failed, it has nothing to do with weakness, it simply has to do with knowing how to work with your brain.In this episode I talk about:[2:30] How personalizing your habits is a mistake[3:50] Why your habits are not about “you”[5:29] Why you are not your habits[7:14] The fact that you’ve been indoctrinated into who you are[10:23] How your indoctrination keeps you trapped[18:03] Your money and health indoctrination[21:25] And, the reason you should choose your self-indoctrinationI often tell people, “You’re not at the mercy of your circumstances, you’re at the mercy of your interpretations.” And, it’s vital that you not personalize your habits and your interpretations because you’re then working against yourself in your quest for change and transformation.Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not weak, you are not at the mercy of your circumstances and indoctrination, you are at the mercy of what you CHOOSE to indoctrinate yourself with, your self-talk and habits.Mentioned ResourcesMaster Thought FormulaEpisode 8: Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind For Health, Wealth And HappinessLet’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 Now What if the only thing holding you back from your full potential… is the identity you’ve been taught to believe in? In part two of his “Zero Limit Person” series, Jim Fortin takes you deeper into the shift from a limited, human identity to your true nature: a supreme being. He explains the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning and how most of us operate from a framework that keeps us small. In this episode, you’ll learn how to begin identifying as a cosmic, divine being—not from ego, but from truth.Jim challenges societal and religious dogma and invites you to see beyond the conditioning you inherited by birth. He offers a liberating perspective: that you are not a nationality, a gender, or a name, but consciousness itself. When you embrace your true nature as source energy, you free yourself from fear, lack, division, and limitation.This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to dissolve the illusion of separation and reclaim their true spiritual power.What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  The Problem with Deductive Identity (02:00)  Why reasoning from your “human self” limits what you think is possible for your life.  How to Shift Into an Inductive Identity (04:30)  Jim explains how to reframe your self-understanding by reasoning from your true, cosmic essence.  The Dogma That Keeps You Small (10:00)  Why cultural and religious belief systems often strip away your inner power—and what to do about it.  “I Am a Supreme Being”: The Awareness to Live By (19:40)  A five-word identity shift that reclaims your power and reshapes your entire life.  How Division Blocks Transformation (17:30)  Jim explores how religion and nationality create separation—and prevent inner evolution.  The Eagle Who Thought It Was a Chicken (26:30)  A powerful metaphor for why most of us live far below our true potential.  What It Means to Truly Know Yourself (30:00)  You’ll never think your way to freedom—Jim explains why knowing, not analyzing, is the path to awakening.  Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not your religion, your passport, your fears, or even your thoughts. You are source. You are a supreme being—consciousness itself—expressing temporarily through human form. Let go of what you’ve been taught. The moment you know—not just believe—but truly know your divine nature, you awaken from the dream of limitation. Don’t try to think your way there. Sit with this awareness. Feel it. Let it rise within you. And when it does, you will no longer just learn transformation—you will be it. 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 NowGoals, for most of your life you’ve heard people talking about goals and why you should set them.In this Q&A episode I talk about goals from a few different perspectives and I talk about why I don’t personally set them. Yes, you read that right, I don’t set goals.In this episode I talk about:[6:56] Working by a “12 week year”[10:38] Why it’s important to break down goals into quarters[11:32] Why tracking is so important if you set goals[12:15] How “processing styles” can sabotage your goals[14:29] The role of habits in your goal achievement[15:23] How subconscious identity plays into your goals[26:40] Why goal setting can be detrimental, research proven[29:33] And, finally, why I personally do not set goalsI really enjoyed creating this episode. This is such an overrated topic, in my opinion, and it’s one that that has been drilled into our heads since we were kids.So, I go a few different directions in this episode. If you want to set goals I talk about breaking them down. If you don’t want to set goals or you want a more healthy approach I talk about some Harvard research and my personal approach.I had fun with this episode, I hope you enjoy it.Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway  Break goals into 12 weeks and trackable results. Know your brain based processing style so you can apply it to your goals. And, finally, counter intuitive I know, but don’t set goals when you work from BEing the goal first in your mind.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 NowWhat if everything you believe about your limitations is false? In this opening episode of a brand-new series, Jim introduces the transformational concept of becoming a “Zero Limit Person.” He challenges the identities we’ve been indoctrinated into—identities that shape how we think, act, and live—and reminds us that we are not our culture, beliefs, or even our names. We are pure energy, straight from Source, with no limits—except those we’ve been taught to believe in. Jim goes deeper by unpacking how our perceived limits are tied to our learned identity. He explains why starting from your current (limited) self will never get you to where you want to go—and instead offers a radical shift in thinking: to begin from your already unlimited nature. This isn’t about motivation or self-help hacks—it’s about fundamentally knowing yourself as cosmic, eternal, and all-powerful energy. If you’re ready to remember who you truly are and start living from your infinite potential, this is the series—and the episode—to listen to. What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  What It Really Means to Be a Zero Limit Person (01:00)  Jim shares the foundational shift in identity required to live without limits.  The Drop of Water Metaphor That Changes Everything (06:30)  You are to Source what a drop is to the ocean—separate in form, but not in essence.  The Trap of Point A to Point B Thinking (13:50)  Why you’ll never create true transformation by working from your current self.  The Core Declaration That Will Change Your Life (16:20)  Four simple words that begin the process of dissolving limitation: “I am unlimited source.”  How to Reprogram Your Identity Through Repetition (23:00)  Why repetition creates your reality—and how to consciously use it to transform your life.  The Holographic Universe and Your Infinite Power (28:00)  Understanding how even the smallest part of you reflects the all—because you are the all.  Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not your job, your culture, your body, or your name. You are Source—unlimited, cosmic energy experiencing life in physical form. The moment you know this—not just think or believe it—but truly know it, is the moment you become a Zero Limit Person. Repeat this truth daily: “I am unlimited source.” Feel it. Embody it. Live from it. And watch your life transform. Mentioned Resources:The Holographic Universe: Michael TalbotDisclosure: 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 Now Trying to control your life? Control others? Getting into control in general?HINT: You have NO control, even if you think you do. Like it or not, your brain does all the “controlling” for you and that’s not a matter of opinion, it’s scientifically proven.Stop fighting life and stop trying to control life, it’s a waste of time and energy.In this episode I talk about:[2:02] How science proves that you have zero control over your life[6:27] How your “habits” actually control you[7:39] Why your habits are what they are[9:15] How parts of your brain work against each other[13:48] Why your emotions are stronger than your thinking[20:46] Why your habits are more important than your beliefsAnd, like I say over and over…much more.If you want the next 12 months to be your happiest and best ever then stop thinking about what you want and start focusing on your habits. You don’t get what you want in life, you get your habits and for the most part, CONTROL is a habit.Listen, apply, and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway You’re not in charge and you have no control, your brain is in control, not “you.”Mentioned Resources:Master Thought FormulaEpisode 5: Why Your Bad Habits Are So Hard To BreakLet’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 Now In part two of this deeply personal series, Jim Fortin continues to explore the mystery and wisdom of Don Xavier, the shaman and spiritual teacher who has profoundly shaped Jim’s life and work. After receiving overwhelming feedback from part one, Jim returns with more extraordinary stories—many never shared before—offering listeners a rare glimpse into the spiritual teachings, experiences, and insights he’s gained over decades of walking this transformational path.This episode is packed with powerful anecdotes—from ceremonies under the stars in sacred lands to dreamtime revelations that defy logic. Jim dives deeper into what it means to walk the path of awareness, the dangers of over-identifying with the analytical mind, and the spiritual significance behind everyday and extraordinary events. He also shares text messages from Don Xavier that point to the core of what true shamanism is: merging with the “All,” or Anima Mundi.If you’re ready to open your heart, quiet your mind, and awaken to a reality beyond 3D logic, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.What You’ll Discover in This Episode  The misunderstood path of shamanism (00:00) – Jim reintroduces Don Xavier and sets the record straight about who he really is—and isn’t.  Belief, skepticism, and “cult” misconceptions (02:50) – Why working with Don Xavier is the opposite of dogma and belief-based systems.  Transformation through experience, not belief (06:13) – Jim shares how growth happens when you let go of needing to “know” and embrace being.  The power of observation over intellect (09:09) – Discover why true awareness begins when you stop thinking and start seeing.  Merging with the All: Anima Mundi (12:06) – Don Xavier’s profound message on connecting with nature, energy, and all living beings.  Miracles in the mundane (15:01) – From disappearing winds to perfect recoveries, Jim recalls unexplainable events during sacred ceremonies.  Freeing yourself from the analytical mind (17:57) – How trying to figure everything out actually weighs you down and limits your evolution.  Dreams, animals, and messages from beyond (20:51) – Stories that challenge logic but expand your perception of reality and karma.  The future of humanity and the threat of AI (24:11) – Don Xavier’s sobering warning about how technology may again lead to humanity’s collapse.  A call to awaken (36:12) – Jim’s closing message on the illusion of certainty and the importance of living with curiosity, awareness, and heart. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway There’s more to life than meets the eye—and it’s not what you think. The more we try to figure everything out, the more we distance ourselves from true wisdom. Growth begins when we quiet the analytical mind and return to the stillness of observation, connection, and trust in the unknown. As Don Xavier teaches, your mind is not your brain—real transformation starts when you stop thinking and start seeing.Let’s Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedInLIKED 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 Now In today’s episode, you’ll learn why it has been so hard to break your bad habits. The reason why is that people try to use willpower to break bad habits and willpower is a conscious process and habits come from the reptilian brain. When you got up this morning you didn’t say “ok I’m going to get out of bed then go to the bathroom then shower”…. it happened automatically without conscious analytical thought. All of us go through life on autopilot, and if you have what you do not want, you’ve created that on autopilot. If you want to create new things in life, you’ve got to create new habits.In this episode you'll learn: Your entire life is a habit. You must focus on creating the habits that create the outcome that you want. Most people have a story that it’s hard to break a habit. Most people try and create change with the wrong part of the brain My habit program that will show you how to eliminate any habit without using willpower Listen, apply, and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway You are not your habits. You are not your urges. You are not your habit voice telling you to go into your habits. (That’s your reptilian brain talking) You are you and your brain runs your habits. You cannot change your habits by fighting them. You must communicate with reptilian brain and it becomes easy for you to break your habits.Mentioned Resources:Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen CarrQuit Drinking Without Willpower by Allen CarrDisclosure: 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 Now In this powerful solo episode, Jim Fortin explores a concept he’s never directly addressed before: the identity illusion—and how it subconsciously keeps people stuck in cycles of struggle, fear, and self-sabotage. He explains why most people never truly change, no matter how much they learn, and reveals why transformation doesn’t come from more information—but from breaking free of who you think you are.Jim takes listeners deep into the subconscious mind, breaking down the mechanisms behind identity verification, predictability, and disintegration anxiety. Using vivid metaphors and examples, he explains how we unknowingly recreate the same results in life—whether financial ceilings, toxic relationships, or emotional blocks—and why you can't escape the illusion from inside the illusion.If you're tired of trying to think your way to change or wondering why you can't break old habits, this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.What You’ll Discover in This Episode  The Trap of the Identity Illusion (03:30) – Why you always fall back into the same patterns, even after gaining insights or motivation.  Why More Information Isn’t the Solution (11:10) – The critical difference between understanding and being—and why just “knowing” doesn’t change your life.  You Can’t Escape the Box from Inside the Box (19:42) – A powerful metaphor that explains why transformation requires an external shift in perspective.  How You Unconsciously Verify Your Identity (28:05) – The hidden way you attract experiences that confirm who you believe you are—even when it’s painful.  The Role of Predictability and Disintegration Anxiety (35:21) – How the brain’s survival mechanisms stop you from creating lasting change.  Why You’ll Stay Trapped Without Mentorship (47:50) – Jim’s own turning point story that underscores why mentorship is essential for real growth. Listen, apply, and enjoy!Transformational Takeaway You are not your struggles, your past, or your circumstances. You are a being living inside an illusion of identity—one that was formed by subconscious beliefs, childhood experiences, and repeated patterns. The good news? Illusions can be broken. But it requires a shift in being, not just thinking. True transformation begins when you step outside of the box and allow yourself to see what’s really been holding you back. It’s not that you’re broken—it’s that you’ve been hypnotized by an old version of yourself. Set yourself free.Let’s Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedInLIKED THE EPISODE? If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
