The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now This 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 fu...

Start Your Transformation Now There 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 inspire...

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 f...

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...

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 housin...

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 p...

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 th...

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...

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 mak...

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...

Start Your Transformation Now A few days ago I was thinking way back to 1988, my first year out of college. One August morning I woke up pawing at the sheets and throwing up. Little did I know I was having a panic/anxiety attack.  With no access to mental health care, I struggled with that for a year until I remembered back to some mental training I had a few years prior. Using that training I com...

Start Your Transformation Now This week I’m celebrating my 200th episode of the podcast and we’re doing something we’ve never done before. I’m being interviewed by my good friend, Brandon Lucero, who is more like a brother to me than a friend. That being said, you’ll notice right off that the tone of this episode is completely different than my other episodes. This episode is also very different b...

Start Your Transformation Now You probably believe in the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people you’re struggling with money. And this is because you’re most likely using the Law of Attraction against you. If this is you, listen to this episode now because we’re about to change all that for you! People who have money work from prosperity consciousness. They are engaging the Law of Attr...

Start Your Transformation Now This is an episode that I’m truly passionate about. The fact that the mainstream world is indoctrinated into mediocre and powerless thinking has long bothered me.  The mainstream world keeps people unhappy, broke, overweight, lonely, and sick.  Many people find this statement shocking and if that’s the case they are most likely blind to what’s really happening in the...

Start Your Transformation Now You obviously know the name of my podcast is The Transform Your Life From The Inside Out Podcast and I want to go in the opposite direction in this episode and share a powerful way you can also transform your life from the outside in.  Because I work in the transformational field I’m always watching people, looking for new ideas, and keeping my antenna up for podcast...

Start Your Transformation Now In the past, I have often said, “Being stuck” in life, no such thing. Cars can get stuck, things can get stuck but people cannot get stuck. Why, because they have the ability to change things and do different things. So, in this episode I talk about – “Something” leads to something and what does that mean? It’s so simple that most of us miss the power of this simple p...

Start Your Transformation Now Are You A Turkey, Otter, Badger, Skunk, or Something Else?  In all my time doing the podcast I’m surprised that I’ve never talked in depth about “Animal Medicine.” So, here you go.  I was introduced to “Animal Medicine” two decades ago and I have consistently used it over the years for healing and guidance. Many of the students in my transformational program initially...

Start Your Transformation Now So, let me ask you…do you get upset, angry, pouty, and bent out of shape when you feel like people are ignoring you or not paying attention to you? Be honest! Well, if you’re like most of humanity you answer yes, you do get bent out of shape when you feel like others are not listening to you and that is what this episode is about. Many years ago my mentor, a shaman, s...

Start Your Transformation Now Yes, you read the headline correctly. Fear is the cure for fear. Why?  Because you’ll not go through fear until you go through your fear, hence, fear is the cure for itself.  I could spend hours writing fancy copy explaining this episode but it’s as simple as this: Go through your fear or you’ll never go through your fear and when you go through your fear your higher...

Start Your Transformation Now Henry David Thoreau said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” And, when he said men, of course, these days we can interpret that as most people, both men and women.  Almost all of us have heard that phrase and it rings true for many many people but truly who owns it and what does it mean?  In modern terms, a life of quiet desperation means being at the mercy o...

Start Your Transformation Now Ok, so Albert Einstein has not been on the planet for over 50 years but he can help you today and truth be told every day.  A few times in my podcast I’ve mentioned one of Einstein’s quotes, “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”  Having done what I do for many years and observing myself, what most of us do when we hear a great or powerful qu...

Start Your Transformation Now Smarter than a potato? That’s a stupid question, right?  I could ask this another way. Are you smarter than the intelligence that works through a potato?  Let me ask that again, and in another way. Are you smarter than “Divine Mind” that works through a potato? I start this episode talking about a potato. I mean, how does a potato become a potato? How does it know how...

Start Your Transformation Now In this week’s episode I dug into some old notes and teachings I have acquired and I wanted to share them with you.  I’ll give you a hint as to what I cover in this episode and then you have to listen to the episode to discover more for yourself.  The five random thoughts are:  1. You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you need.  Have you ever noticed that...

Start Your Transformation Now I was thinking a few weeks ago, “What do I want to talk about this week on the podcast?” and I had a flood of ideas and topics pop into my mind and none of them were calling to me at that time and I thought, “So many people ask about spirituality, why don’t I dig further into and talk about my experiences with a shaman?” So, in this episode, I pull the curtain back a...

Start Your Transformation Now How much thought have you really put into how powerful you are? Do you even see yourself that way or think of yourself that way?  In reality, you are not all that powerful but you can command the power of the universe to work through you and you do that using your intention. And, when you do that, what I call synchronicities happen for you.  In our 3D world, we see th...
