Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode, Jim Fortin reveals the one thing you must release if you truly want more from life: your emotional baggage. From guilt and fear to shame and self-judgment, Jim breaks down why clinging to these old emotions keeps you stuck at “first base” in life—safe but stagnant. Through powerful metaphors, real coaching stories, and deep subconscious insights, Jim explains how to finally let go so you can receive what your soul is really asking for.  Jim dives into the neuroscience and energetics behind why we resist letting go—even when it costs us everything we want. You'll learn how we become emotionally enslaved by past events, why our brains trick us into choosing safety over growth, and how unresolved fears block the flow of abundance, joy, and personal power. If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but still stuck, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.  If you're ready to stop circling the same fears and finally step into more, this episode will show you how to drop the weight and open the door to transformation.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Why You Can't Keep One Foot on First Base (01:12) Jim introduces a powerful metaphor that illustrates why holding on to the past blocks new opportunities.  Nathan's Story: The Cost of Holding On (05:15) A coaching example that shows how unresolved shame and guilt can sabotage progress—no matter how much we say we want change.  The Furniture Metaphor: No Room for the New (11:40) Jim explains how holding on to emotional baggage leaves no space for new experiences or abundance.  How Your Fears Keep Circling Like Coyotes (24:45) A vivid story to help you see how fear continues to show up until you confront and conquer it.  Are You a Slave to Emotion? (22:30) Jim challenges listeners to consider whether their lives are being run by fear, shame, or the need for external validation.  Your Soul Is Waiting—Let It Out (20:30) A reminder that soulful living requires courage, not comfort—and that everything you want lies beyond fear.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You can't have more in life until you let go of what's weighing you down. Transformation isn't about gaining—it's about releasing. Fear, shame, guilt, and self-judgment don't define you—they delay you. Let go to let in. You were never meant to carry the past forever. The life you want is already waiting… if you have the courage to put down what's holding you back and reach for it.  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.

In this week's extended Stoppage Time episode, we dive into reflections and fresh takeaways from my fascinating conversation with Scottish entrepreneur Chris Herd — the founder of Firstbase, which was recently acquired by AppDirect after raising millions in venture capital from top-tier firms like Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.Joining us from his hometown of Aberdeen, Chris shares powerful insights on the future of remote work, building entrepreneurial ecosystems beyond Silicon Valley, and what it really means for a founder to exit a company. We also take a surprising historical turn, uncovering Scotland's deep and often overlooked influence on the industrial and modern economic world.This is more than just a conversation about startups and remote work — it's a thoughtful, personal, and at times philosophical journey through leadership, legacy, and the evolution of work over the next 50 years.If you're into entrepreneurship, remote-first thinking, or just love hearing from passionate, grounded leaders who think big — this one's for you.So sit back, press play, and stay with me through the full episode — you'll be glad you did.

What if the next big startup hub isn't in the United States — but in Scotland? Are there lessons to be learned in how to build entrepreneurial ecosystems anywhere, that can be culled from this old, small Port City in far northeastern Scotland. Rob sits down with one of the earliest leaders in “Remote Work” enablement, and arguably one of Scotland's top Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Chris Herd, founder of Firstbase. They explore how a nation known for its deep history, and prior dominance in traditional industries like Shipping and Oil and Gas, might just be on the edge of a modern entrepreneurial breakthrough. From the future of remote work to the cultural mindset shifts needed for innovation, Chris shares bold insights on what it will take to turn Scotland into a global hotspot for startups and the lessons others can take from their story. Whether you're a founder, dreamer, ecosystem builder or just curious about what fuels great innovation — this one's for you.Feel free to follow and engage with CHRIS here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisherdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisherdWebsite: https://www.firstbase.com/Website: https://www.appdirect.comWe're so grateful to you, our growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors and community leaders interested in the human stories of the Entrepreneurial Thinkers behind entrepreneurial economies worldwide.As always we hope you enjoy each episode and Like, Follow, Subscribe or share with your friends.

Curtis and Wiggy argue over what the sox should do at first base

Top Five Friday Top Five first basemen options for the Red Sox. NUMBER FIVE WILL SHOCK YOU.

A discussion on Rafael Devers and his attitude about first base. Someone has to step up and learn the position. Why didn't the team make him take grounders at first during spring training? Since Casas is out for the year, it puts the situation into a different light. Devers is very upset with Breslow right now. Scott did it in Moneyball, Raffy! Telemundo translator said that Devers actual comments were worse than what the so-called translator said. Isn't this Cora's job to tell Devers to play first? Not Breslow.

The rumor of Devers shopping for first baseman gloves was a lie! Unbelievable. Callers react to the conversation. The reactions to Devers comments in the clubhouse were not good.

The Red Sox are on a slide right now. Who should play first base? The guys give their options. Edelman makes the Patriots hall of fame. This stinks for Casas. He is probably done in Boston.

Devers is a full time DH now. It seems as if he is declining to play first base. What about the young guys? Neither of Jones nor Keefe wants one of them experimenting at first base. Not in the plans right now according to Breslow. Devers at first, Anthony at DH and OF. That is the answer. The team needs a spark. Why does Cora keep bringing Whitlock out for a second inning?

We cannot even fathom what he is thinking right now. Hart does not think he will ever be the same. The Sox need to bounce back immediately. The plans for the Red Sox start flooding in. Why did the Sox not have a backup plan themselves?
