NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
I created BUILT BY JESSE RETREATS because people kept asking me the same question over and over:
“How did you build all of this?”
After building multiple 8 and 9 figure businesses, running endurance races, speaking on hundreds of stages, and coaching entrepreneurs behind the scenes… I realized something — most people don’t need more information.
They need immersion.
They need to step out of their life long enough to finally work on it, not just in it.
Most events give you inspiration.
Most courses give you information.
But real change only happens when you experience it.
Built by Jesse was created as an environment where high performers slow down, disconnect from the noise, and build the next chapter of their life — with intention.
It’s not a conference.
It’s not a seminar.
It’s not a vacation.
It’s a hands-on, high-touch experience where you challenge your limits, sharpen your thinking, build real relationships, and leave with clarity, momentum, and an actual plan.
Because everything great in your life…
your business, your relationships, your health, your legacy…
doesn’t just happen.
It gets built.
