In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Jae Encarnacion, Jim Britt—legendary speaker, author of 15 books, and mentor to icons like Tony Robbins—shares his rags-to-riches journey from a high-school dropout foreclosing on his home to building a multi-million-dollar empire. Jim reveals how a single sale (after 3,650 rejections) changed his life, why he believes in the "law of creation" over the "law of attraction," and how subconscious core beliefs formed in childhood dictate entrepreneurial success. With decades of stages in 31 countries, Jim breaks down his lean, high-impact business model today: selective coaching, collaborative book series, and keynotes—all while refusing to plan more than 2 weeks ahead.
Jim also drops timeless wisdom on decision-making ("Close the escape route in every choice"), the power of letting go ("Fear is just love misdirected"), and why AI won’t replace human coaching—yet. His "seed and garden" metaphor for growth—nourish your vision, weed out distractions—captures his philosophy: "Everything you do moves you toward your goal or away from it. No gray areas." A masterclass in resilience from a man who turned 15 cents into a legacy.
