Welcome to the first episode of The Jesse Wood Show.

If you’ve ever felt called to build — a business, a team, a vision, a legacy — but found yourself exhausted, misaligned, or quietly asking “Is this really how it’s supposed to feel?”… this conversation is for you.

In this pilot episode, Jesse lays the foundation for the show and confronts the unspoken tension many builders carry:
being created to build, yet trapped in pressure, performance, and comparison.

This episode sits at the intersection of faith, leadership, identity, and legacy, challenging hustle culture and inviting you into a different way of building — one rooted in alignment with God, clarity of calling, and faithfulness to the season you’re actually in.

Through biblical truth, real-life experiences, and practical frameworks, Jesse introduces a new blueprint for builders who want more than success — they want significance.

This isn’t about building faster.
It’s about building right.

If you’re ready to stop striving and start building from identity, alignment, and purpose — this is where it begins.
