      Well done Daniel, Reaching half a million subscribers is amazing! I haven't been here since the beginning but I have been here since A Day in the Life of a Construction Entrepreneur.
      I'm so proud of you and all you have achieved since then with the new yard. It won't be long now until you reach a million subscribers.
      Looking forward to the new Ashville subscriber plaque which will be made in house. I fully expect it will be polished concrete.

    Daniel, I remember you had some highlights of your visit to Blueprint for the episode that had your Mother's birthday in it. This stand alone video was excellent in showcasing your friends struggles and ideas to overcome his situation. You can tell Blueprint took your business advice to heart because there growth and business model mirrors your own at Ashville. Ya'll must be doing something right. Grats on 500k subscribers.

    Every episode, almost, almost makes me regret retiring at 45. I started a construction company at 19, even looked into opening a hardware store at one point. Karma/life is as it will be, but i get so much joy every week watching you struggle and eventually succeeding in your endeavors. Cheers mate.

    That was truly inspirational, as a fellow “small island “ descendant, (Barbados) it’s great to see entrepreneurs like yourself and the guy from St Lucia successfully running and creating a business that gives employment and benefits your communities.
    Also glad to hear that when I finally finish being a truck driver over here, I can potentially get work in the Caribbean. Great video Daniel

    This was an awesome video and very interesting to meet the Ashville of St Lucia. He's got the speaking to camera nailed, all he needs now is a TH-cam channel so we can all subscribe and watch Blueprint weekly straight after Ashville on a Sunday.

    The big man in St Lucia is 💯 bang on the coin and killing it, nothing but respect for gentleman like him, I served my apprenticeship in a company like that, they couldn’t get parts…. They eventually got them and became a seller for the parts, I’d love to go work in St Lucia although I’m a 45year old Glaswegian so the heat could be an issue 😂😂

    Impressive how tidy everything is and in particular the regular deep clean of the trucks. Amazing that in the UK you can see regularly ready mix trucks less than a year old splattered with concrete. When I worked with London Concrete I was always impressed by their clean mixers. Derek Casey and David Barrett didn't allow dirty trucks on the road.
