ANECDOTE

From Conman To Waiting Tables To Giving Back

Jim recounted losing everything after working with a charismatic conman and ending up near homeless waiting tables.
A patron's unexpected kindness reminded him how people helped him in his lowest moments and shaped his lifelong desire to help others.

ADVICE

Use Money As A Tool For Service

Use money as a tool to serve and build community rather than to inflate ego and consumerism.
Expand abundance by giving and creating impact so prosperity flows back to you and others.

INSIGHT

You Don't Find A Real Shaman — They Find You

Real shamanic guidance can't be found via commercial searches; authentic shamans find you if it's meant to be.
Beware of self-styled 'shamans' who commercialize the role and lack true energetic mastery.

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 because I’m getting real personal about a lot of things, including some of the questions that you, the listener, asked recently when I asked for you to submit your questions.

Here’s just a few things that we discuss:

[18:06] How I used to chase money and what I do now
[27:03] How people right now are trapped in consumerism
[39:41] How I met Don Xavier, my sister’s husband, the shaman
[49:08] What it’s like working with a shaman
[50:36] How I began teaching transformation
[1:04:01] Coming out and meeting my partner
[1:19:47] A terrifying experience in Peru

I hope you enjoy this special episode where I’m pulling back the curtain on many, many personal things.

And thank you for listening and making this 200th episode possible! When I started this podcast, I had no idea we’d have so many downloads and listeners. We can’t do in life what we want without the assistance of others. And when it comes to the podcast, we’ve had over 2 million downloads and because of you, the listener, I can do what I love to do and do my dharma, my spiritual service. Thank you for listening, and sharing, and downloading the podcast!
