      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.

  • @paulchandler175

    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
