Start Your Transformation Now  In this compelling continuation of the 2026 series, Jim expands on Don Juan and Don Xavier’s teachings by bringing listeners into a grounded, practical conversation about economic cycles, human evolution, and spiritual preparedness. Drawing from decades of shamanic guidance, global economic patterns, and his own experience as an investor, Jim explains why the coming years—especially 2026—represent a crossroads for humanity. This episode breaks down how global shifts affect your energy, your frequency, and your personal stability, and why your spiritual posture determines the quality of your life amid large-scale change. He dives deeper into economic realities rarely discussed in spiritual circles, including debt cycles, the weakening U.S. economy, the rise of China, precious metals, inflation dynamics, and the BRICS movement. Jim explains these not to alarm listeners but to help them think clearly, prepare wisely, and avoid unnecessary suffering. With insight from Don Juan's teachings on becoming “immune” to collapse, and prophetic references from Hopi Kachina, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and others, he shows how spiritual alignment, not fear, is the stabilizing force in uncertain times. This episode encourages listeners to become more conscious participants in their financial lives, understand what is unfolding globally, and begin preparing in ways that elevate—not constrict—their frequency.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (01:02) Why external world changes impact your inner world Jim explains why he’s choosing to address economics on a spiritual podcast—and why energetic resilience matters when global structures shift.   (05:40) Economic warning signs most people overlook From inflated markets to unsustainable debt and misleading narratives, Jim outlines the indicators pointing toward major global restructuring.   (10:08) 2026 as humanity’s crossroads Drawing from ancient prophecies and shamanic teachings, Jim describes why consciousness is diverging and why your choices determine which path you follow.   (16:45) How to think about becoming “immune” to economic turmoil Jim clarifies Don Juan’s definition of independence—living with minimal debt, stabilizing your life, and grounding your frequency regardless of circumstances.   (22:10) Why investors are shifting into precious metals With gold at historic highs and global banks hoarding reserves, Jim explains why metals preserve—not grow—wealth during instability.   (30:22) Preparing spiritually while learning financially Jim outlines how to explore experts like Ray Dalio, Warren Buffett, and Mark Moss to strengthen your understanding, all while maintaining a high spiritual frequency.   Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The world is changing, but fear doesn’t prepare you—consciousness does. Your greatest protection in uncertain times is the combination of grounded financial awareness and elevated spiritual frequency. When you reduce unnecessary debt, stay curious, and stay awake to what’s unfolding around you, you begin to navigate life from strength rather than scarcity. And when you pair that with spiritual discipline—presence, clarity, and higher choice—you become resilient, stable, and empowered no matter what the external world is doing. The crossroads ahead invites you to rise. Choose the path of awareness now.  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 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 phrase. Oftentimes in life, we are stuck or directionless when in fact the answers are in front of us all the time, yet we are too busy being stuck to see the obvious answer. I myself, years back, have found myself “stuck.” In particular, I remember 2014 when I was burned out, tired, and in limbo as to what I wanted to do with the rest of my professional life. I remember one day when I was pacing the den the answer came to me. The answer of how to get “unstuck” and to change my life came to me in a flash and had this answer not hit me I seriously doubt I’d even be doing this podcast today. This epiphany I came to, it’s available to everyone and it’s pretty much free, we just have to act upon it and when we do, I promise, something will lead to something. And, when new things come into our awareness then so do possible new opportunities. Be sure to listen to this episode, after all, before you listen to it you have no idea what it’s going to lead to, right? Well, after you listen you’ll perhaps have a new way to “get yourself” unstuck in life. As I said before, we’re never stuck. It’s just often that we have run out of creativity and action. And, when we add creativity and couple that with action, magic can happen. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You’re Never Stuck In Life. Something Leads To Something.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful continuation of the Shaman’s Tips for an Amazing 2026 series, Jim shares three timeless lessons drawn from decades of teachings from Don Juan and Don Javier. These insights—distraction, dedication to spiritual work, and preparing for economic shifts—are delivered with clarity and urgency, helping listeners understand how their attention, discipline, and frequency shape the reality they experience. Through personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and real examples from his own life, Jim demonstrates how spiritual alignment becomes the stabilizing force in a chaotic world. He goes deeper into how modern distractions steal our ability to live present, centered, and aware. Jim explains why most people unintentionally invest their energy into meaningless noise rather than spiritual evolution—and how this keeps them out of alignment with their purpose. He also introduces a lesson from 2002 that feels more relevant than ever: economic disruption is coming, and spiritual independence, not fear, is what will carry us through.  If you’re ready to step into 2026 with more clarity, presence, and personal power, this episode invites you to slow down, pay attention, and reclaim the energy that creates your future.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (02:58) The hidden cost of distractions Don Juan’s teaching reveals how much of life we miss because our attention is consumed by modern noise rather than presence.  (08:46) How distraction drains your power and purpose Jim shares real examples—from doom scrolling to social media addiction—showing how easily we give away the energy needed for growth.  (17:58) Why most people never give 50% to their spiritual work A candid teaching from Don Juan that exposes the gap between “wanting transformation” and actually committing to it.  (24:08) Pain as the catalyst for profound spiritual change Jim shares how the challenges of 2024 became the foundation for massive evolution, illustrating why discomfort is often the doorway to growth.  (28:26) The energetic price of living in the 3D world Learn how attention, discipline, and alignment—not circumstances—determine how grounded and empowered you feel.  (32:15) Preparing spiritually for global economic shifts Jim introduces a decades-old prophecy from Don Juan and explains why frequency—not fear—is the key to navigating future instability.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your attention is your life. When you give it to distractions, fear, or the external world, you weaken your power, your frequency, and your ability to create. But when you reclaim it—through presence, spiritual discipline, and self-awareness—you begin to rise above circumstances rather than collapse under them. The world may shift, but your inner world can remain steady, clear, and strong. Start giving more of your energy to the evolution of your spirit, and you’ll experience a 2026 shaped not by chance, but by consciousness.  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 I take a couple of different angles in this episode. Specifically, I talk about the socially learned human limitations we are taught, the handicap of qualifying life and that “living up to your potential” is not about potential, it’s about your subconscious identity. It’s hard for most of us to grasp but 99% of our limitations are learned. This takes me back to a story I want to share. If I asked you if you think a 56-year-old man, two weeks out of the hospital with a heart attack and zero training and preparation could run 75 consecutive marathons, what would you say? Would you say, “No way” he could do that? Or, do you think that he could? I answer that question in this episode. It dawned on me a few years back that I lived my life through “quantification.” I “counted” things to determine what was good and bad in life. What was acceptable and not. What was a good measure of success and achievement, etc. A while back I learned this is a failed strategy as it keeps us on the merry-go-round of life quantification. Meaning, we’re good enough when we achieve certain things and to certain degrees and we’re falling short when we’re not achieving those numbered quantifications. It’s my attempt in this episode to get you to start letting go of that universally ingrained thinking that keeps us trapped. Has there ever been a time you did something and you initially thought that there was no way you could do it? Most people can say yes to this. Well, it’s not that you can’t do something, it’s that you have “perceived” that you can’t do that and we explore that in this episode. As well, we look at a few real-life scenarios from my own life where either I or someone I knew thought we could not do things, and we actually did them when we stopped “quantifying them.” To add a different perspective on quantification, the Navy Seals have what they call the Rule of 40% and what that means is when you think you’re tired, worn out, exhausted and you have nothing left in you, you still have 40% more energy in you to use and to keep going. We explore that a bit in this episode. And, we wrap up with the fact that you achieving in life has nothing to do with your potential but with the perceptions of your potential. You’re unlimited with unlimited ability, it’s your perceptions about what you cannot and can do that determines that ability. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You’ll never know what you can do until you go beyond your limits because they are not your limits they are your perceived limits!
