A podcast by Jason & Jesse
The real climb,
documented in real time.
Two Marine veterans turned respiratory therapists, building businesses between 12-hour shifts. No gurus. No trust funds. Just the work, the bills, the kids, and the climb — recorded honestly.

The mission
“Built In Real Time is the no BS podcast for the working class. The grinders, the veterans, the side hustlers building a better life from the trenches, not the penthouse. We're two Marine vets turned respiratory therapists who've lived every word of it, and we're documenting the real climb as it happens: health, family, money, faith, and business, all while still punching the clock. No gurus. No highlight reel. No edits to make it look easier than it is. Just the work, the bills, the kids, and the fight to become more than the grind.”
For the tradesmen. The medics. The vets. The single moms running DoorDash after their shift. The 38-year-old who keeps starting over.

The hosts
Two RTs. One mic each.
Jason
— RTRespiratory Therapist · Marine Veteran · Family Man
Family-first, and chronically tired in the best way. Jason brings the perspective of a Marine-turned-RT rebuilding while still showing up for shift, for his family — and refusing to choose between any of them.
Jesse
— RTRespiratory Therapist · Marine Veteran · Family Man
Marine discipline, dry humor, zero tolerance for fluff. Jesse translates the trenches — military, hospital, home — into systems you can actually run on hospital grit and pure discipline.
