Nicotine and Jet Fuel
Jayme Builds. Brett Brands. This is the podcast where bold conversations, wild stories, and real business collide. The truth? Business is hard — never boring. Success isn’t sterile. And real life is always part of the story. We’re two entrepreneurs and family men who became fast friends building businesses, flying planes, facing failures, and living to laugh (and cuss a little) about it. From flying private to launching brands, raising kids to chasing freedom, we talk about the stuff that matters, the roads we've traveled to get here — and the stuff that’s just plain fun. Jayme is a husband, father of two, veteran commercial real estate developer, and founder of the Beach Weekend. Brett is a husband, father of six (all boys), recovering media agency owner, go-to-market strategist, and partner in the Beach Weekend brands. We’re both pilots who use aviation — and every dollar we earn (or borrow) — to fuel our obsession with building, branding, and going big. 🛩️ Expect raw, unfiltered convos on: Business wins and trainwrecks Private aviation and travel stories Family, fatherhood, and faith Risk, grit, and the pursuit of big dreams This isn’t another hustle podcast. It’s a life-on-fire podcast.
