The Jim Fortin Podcast

I personally don’t get it, seriously, what is the negative relationship between spirituality and wealth?

It’s interesting that so many people think that spirituality and wealth are incompatible. So, in this episode, I talk about this archaic belief and also about self-worth as it relates to money and wealth.

Unlike the person who asked this question I hold the opposite belief, and that is, money and spirituality are absolutely compatible and you can easily have both.

In this episode I talk about:[1:26] Why spirituality and money are not diametrically opposed[3:38] Why to be spiritual MEANS we can have and attract money[5:27] How all of life, which is “spiritual,” is about expansion and not contraction[10:32] How your self-worth determines your wealth[11:50] Why money is not a measure of self-value[21:43] How you can help more people become wealthy

And, like I say in just about every episode synopsis, I’ll talk about a lot more.The world you live in will give you ANY amount of money you want, but only based on the value you hold for yourself.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals that the external world is not the cause of our experience — it is the reflection of it. Every bank balance, health diagnosis, and relationship outcome mirrors the identity we carry within. We don't need to fight our circumstances; we need to change what we're projecting.

 

Jim explains why so many people stay stuck — not because life is against them, but because they keep trying to change the reflection without changing the face looking into the mirror. The shift he's calling listeners toward is moving from a 3D human identity defined by limitation to a spiritual identity rooted in divine mind, universal consciousness — what Jim simply calls God.

 

Stop punching the mirror. This episode offers the awareness and tools to finally change what's being reflected back. Listen and let it shift something.

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) The world is your mirror, not your enemy — Jim opens by reframing the foundational premise: our environment is not the cause of our problems but a reflection of our inner identity and consciousness. 

(05:51) You can't change the mirror with the same identity — Why fighting your external circumstances only reaffirms the very identity that created them, and why the senses report reality rather than create it. 

(11:09) Spiritual identity vs. 3D identity — Jim invites listeners to move beyond religious dogma and human limitation by asking: what if you identified as the ultimate power in the universe — as divine mind, as God? 

(16:28) You are never at the mercy of your circumstances — A powerful distinction: we are never at the mercy of our circumstances, only at the mercy of our identity — and identity is something we can change. 

(22:47) Think from the end, not to the end — Jim introduces the transformational question: "If this were already resolved, how would I feel right now?" — shifting consciousness from the problem to the resolution. 

(29:37) Who are you willing to be before the evidence shows up? — The ultimate takeaway: begin conditioning yourself to identify as one with divine mind, working from that identity before the physical reality confirms it. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

Your circumstances are not your truth — they are your mirror, created by a past version of you. Stop reacting to the reflection. Ask: if this were already resolved, how would I feel? Hold that feeling, think from the end, and begin identifying as divine mind — as the ultimate power in the universe. Change what you project, and the mirror has no choice but to change what it reflects back.

In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for the rest of your life. So, in order to change your identity, you must first ask “What would be the identity of someone who already has what I want?” Look for someone who already has what you want. Listen to the entire episode to learn about changing your identity!

In this episode I discuss:How your identity is formed when you’re a small childHow you have created an identity loop and it’s keeping you stuckHow to determine what identity you have (hint look at your environment)Discovering your internal barometerWhat identity do you want? How do you get it?

In this follow-up episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin returns to the provocative theme of ego death introduced in Part 1, this time going deeper into the mechanics of ego identification and why most people remain trapped inside it. Drawing from shamanic teachings, brain science, and deeply personal stories—including the moment a doctor told him he was in heart failure—Jim explains that fear is not a personal flaw but the energy of separation, a byproduct of the ego. Every limitation, every story of "I'm not good enough," every belief system that keeps us small, is rooted in ego. And all of it, Jim insists, was learned.

Jim distinguishes between transformation and transcendence, sharing why he is now calling himself and his listeners toward something even deeper: moving beyond the identity of ego altogether. He revisits the habits of the mind that keep the ego alive, explains why love itself gets hijacked by ego, and offers a powerful shamanic reframe—that the soul is the witness, the parent watching the child, the light that dissolves the darkness of the ego. The episode also introduces Soul Forge, Jim's new program designed to help people identify and dissolve the ego's grip on their subconscious patterns. 

If Part 1 opened the door, Part 2 walks you through it. Listen and let this one sit with you. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

(02:53) Fear is not personal—it's the energy of separation Why every fear you entertain is ego-based, not soul-based, and how understanding this distinction begins to dissolve fear's power over your life. 

(05:47) The habit of knowing yourself as ego How we become so deeply conditioned to identify as our ego that we forget there's a soulful being underneath—and why recognition is the first step to breaking the cycle. 

(09:13) Identity, ego, and the question "Who would I be without me?" Through a powerful client story, Jim illustrates how ego identity quietly runs our lives and why releasing it doesn't leave you empty—it makes you present. 

(12:04) Awareness is the light that dissolves ego Why your ego cannot survive scrutiny and observation, and how shifting from ego to soul as your primary vantage point changes what's possible for you. 

(18:03) The soul as parent, the ego as child A vivid metaphor for understanding the soul's role as observer—watching the ego's drama without being consumed by it and gently calling you toward expansion. 

(24:30) You don't need a birthday—you have an incarnation date Why recognizing that you've never truly died shifts your operating frequency from ego fear to soulful power, and what it really means to become more spiritual. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

You don't need to destroy your ego. You need to stop believing that it is you. Every fear, every limitation, every "I'm not good enough" belongs to the ego—a learned identity formed in childhood that no longer serves you. You are the soul observing the ego, present and aware, knowing everything is going to be fine. You have an incarnation date, not a birth date. You have never truly died. Stop fighting the ego. Simply become aware. Awareness is the light. Flip the switch.

Have you ever wondered why you try and try and try to change but nothing changes? If so, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault, it’s your brain keeping you trapped in your old subconscious identity.

In this episode, I delve into the BE-DO-HAVE model of performance which you’ve probably heard me talk about over and over and I talk about why some people still fail with it. I share with you how to up-level and make the BE-DO-HAVE strategy of performance work for you!

In this episode I talk about:[1:43] How your current subconscious identity keeps you trapped[7:48] How your reptilian brain does not want you to change[12:22] How predictability keeps you trapped[13:48] Why anxiety sets in when you’re trying to change[18:43] How “Resistance” is not your friend[20:33] Why there is no time but NOW to work from[23:12] And, how your brain tries to protect you but keeps you trapped

If you’ve ever wondered, “WHY, why do I want to change so badly but I keep finding myself right back in my old patterns” then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I dig into brain-based function as well as the psychological aspects of change and transformation.
