Built In Real Time Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:11:43 -0400 http://www.builtinrealtime.com en-us © 2026 Built In Real Time yes 355d83c5-e2d2-52db-82a8-fada88b63c58 Jason Perry & Jesse Vargas episodic true Built In Real Time is a podcast about getting better out loud. Jesse and Jason are two friends, two Marine vets, and two respiratory therapists who got tired of waiting for the right time to start, so we just started.

We talk about the real stuff. Leadership, fear, faith, being a father, staying disciplined, and actually growing. Not from the top looking down, but from right in the middle of it, still figuring it out like everybody else. Jesse works the ER and ICU and builds on the side. Jason is out there starting his own painting business from the ground up. Same fight, different lanes, both of us building something real while the tape rolls.

This is the new frontier. Walking into the unknown on purpose, getting uncomfortable, and becoming the men, fathers, and leaders we are supposed to be. No script. No filter. Just the work.

Pull up a seat. Let's build.

They get into the pressure of having an idea and knowing other people are probably working on the same thing, using AI as a force multiplier, helping older generations keep building instead of quitting, and staying disciplined while projects are still messy and unfinished.

They also talk through RESPTAC updates, operator mode, patent work, building systems, side missions, and the need to keep moving before the window closes.

Built In Real Time. Building the vision, taking the hits, and documenting the climb.

They revisit 75 Hard, balancing discipline with 12-hour hospital shifts, parenting, sleep, and real-life responsibilities. Jason shares his progress toward launching BRT Painting, while Jesse talks about growing RESPTAC, building with AI, and wondering whether he’s moving fast enough.

The conversation ultimately comes back to perfectionism, resistance, and a simple lesson: build before you feel ready. Put it out, learn from reality, and fix the problems as you go.

They talk about competition showing up early through youth sports, learning to push through heat, discomfort, doubt, and self-defeat, and why mindset matters long before adulthood. The conversation shifts into discipline, personal standards, and how small daily choices either sharpen you or soften you.

They also break down 75 Hard and Live Hard, what the program actually builds, why inconvenience is part of the point, and how discipline starts bleeding into everything else like work, fitness, parenting, business, and self-respect.

This one is about not waiting until conditions are perfect. If it matters, do it anyway.

That's why we're here.

This is episode one. We introduce ourselves, lay out the mission, and get into why we're doing this in the first place.

A little about us. We're both Marine vets and respiratory therapists with about 14 years in. Jesse did two combat tours in Ramadi, came home, washed dishes during the 2008 crash, and worked his way into respiratory therapy. Now he's building Respiratory Tactician, a bedside app for clinicians that he taught himself to make. Jason did his tours, ran his dad's painting company, and is standing up his own painting business from the ground up.

This show is for the people who want more than the daily grind. The ones putting in work in silence, fighting doubt and setbacks, betting on themselves when nobody else will. We're not at the top of the ladder. We're in the trenches with you, documenting the climb in real time.

What we get into:
Our story, the Marine Corps, and how we both landed in respiratory therapy
The BRT mission and who this show is really for
Jason on starting a painting business: licensing, tools, and what it actually costs to begin
Jesse on building the Respiratory Tactician app from zero coding experience
Why most people quit when it gets hard, and how to keep going
Figure out your vision and bet on yourself
