[@OldSkoolCarpMan]

Fellow carp angler, fellow petrolhead, fellow son of a much missed Dad. The rest is irrelevant to me, fuck the trolls

[@MarkMcCann64]

Great video, well done mate, love Kev's pool

[@stevegreenaway9527]

As someone who knew your dad, it was a massive shock to hear he passed. He would be massively proud of you bud.

[@karlb1]

I'll be completely honest, i wasn't your biggest fan when you featured on Mats channel, but after hearing your story fully and hearing about the sad passing of your dad, you've warmed on me a lot! I also lost my dad who was my best friend suddenly in 2020 too, and it was the biggest, most heartbreaking thing I've ever gone through. To see somebody bounce back from it so quickly and triumph through everything that follows it, I know your dad would be immensely proud of you and everything you've achieved since then. Keep up the hard work sir

[@Sloal]

I’m so glad you made this video. I originally thought “who’s this rich kid?”. Not because I didn’t like you, but because I was interested. Then I read about your dad and nothing else really mattered. You’ve done a great job. You’ve worked bloody hard and you’ve pulled together all your experience and resources to make your life your best life. You don’t need to run your dads business to honour your dad. You need to do why makes you happy to honour him. And I’m sure you’d give everything up to have him back. So. You do you. Keep it real, brother.

[@justinjay5358]

Fair play to this guy, I firstly discovered his lake building videos and didn't know about his other ventures until recently. His honesty is refreshing, good luck to him!!

[@leemaddison7046]

R.i.p Kevin 😢 with what you've accomplished since he passed he would would be proud of you

[@carllamb6711]

Absolutely bang on Ben that’s got to be one of your best videos yet mate. Well done proud of you all your hard work has paid off. I never thought you were some rich kid but I did think who is this lad gate crashing the car industry with Matt Armstrong and Chris. I do apologise for that mate you’ve worked hard to get where you are today. I don’t know you never met you, but I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved well done, full respect mate 😊😊😊😊

[@NimPat]

Came across you from MA's channel and it's great that you guys (amongst many, many others) keep producing positive content enlightening us on your journeys - because they're what keep me going (unlike the pre-meditated negative press/TV). Without you guys keeping the dream alive for yourselves, hence keeping it alive for all of us followers that follow you and your journeys, we'd all be in a lesser place ourselves. You display the hope, opportunities, the fun times, result of hard work, that we all need, that we definitely don't get from mainstream media. All credit to you.

[@captaincrankshaft]

Love this! Congratulations on all the success

[@Col83125]

Well done Ben, your Dad would be proud. I too suddenly lost my Dad 5 years ago, still coming to terms with it now.. but what you’ve achieved and how you’ve got on with things is pretty inspirational. I regularly listen to your podcasts when i’m in the car, the information we gain from those is fantastic, loving your more recent colabs with Matt and Nico on their channels 👍🏻

[@MattPedro-oi9os]

Well done, Ben. You’re always working hard to get where you’ve got and yet sitting having food with you, et cetera. You are one of the most kindest people I know. The road to success is clearly working hard and being a decent human being

[@purecountryman]

Respect ,it would be so easy to live off you fathers legacy yet you have made your dad proud and pushed yourself just like he did . Be proud of yourself and hopefully one day your Children will do the same .

[@oliverdking]

One thing that shines through with people like you and Matt is PURE PASSION. This drives everything.

[@BurtyHaxx]

I used to watch Alex on Car throttle years ago but it stopped coming up on my FYP and to be honest i totally forgot it existed, been watching you for about 6 months now. it weird to see you both know each other

[@cziasai]

Sad you lost your Dad so early. Like many, I wondered where you had come from, and actually thought you just wanted a large pond to go with a large house - I had no idea you were such a good angler. ✊ I now feel Like everything I had previously thought about where/why/how you was on my TV was very wrong. Really glad I watched this and now have huge respect for where you are. Well done man! 👍👍

[@georgewhinney2445]

you and your dads relationship was perfect , what any boy wants and needs ❤️

[@TerryT007]

Hey Ben, I'm from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 and got a liking in you from Matt's channel. After watching this video I'm a proud new subscriber and want to thank you for the motivation. I run a small catering company and been on the verge of throwing in the towel but believe it or not you have just sparked a renewed interest for me putting in the hard graft. Looking forward to your next episode

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

Tell you what Ben, you’re living the dream. Your dream! I can only have admiration for that, so well done man.

[@FlorinRadu-pi1bz]

Well done mate ! Always remember that even in their absence, he continues to be proud of you!

[@J_O1519]

Much respect to you Ben, with everything you have built and having the courage to share you will inspire many others. I imagine this is only the start, best of luck with the rest of your journey and you deserve everything you have

[@mikebebb9268]

I lost my dad 4 weeks ago. He instilled a great work ethic in me, just like your dad ✌🏻❤️ I bet you’d give it all up for a a bit more time with your dad. Ignore the haters, if you haven’t got green eyed trolls trying to rubbish your achievements, you’re not doing it right.!

[@robertkirk1983]

Congratulations Ben. Inspring video. Fu** the haters and trolls. Your building your own future and your dad would be super proud. Wish you very best

[@iandilworth6177]

You're DAD! lives on with you Ben he's there supporting you in everything you achieve and am sure with a doubt a Very proud man hope to meet up one day and catch some fish

[@markhitchon5716]

Absolutely love you Ben and when you appear on other channels it’s smiles all round. Keep up the hard work and silence on the haters. You have worked so hard. You should and hopefully are so very proud. Much success to you.

[@martf9875]

[@BitterCarGuy]

Out of tragedy comes grace. You're an awesome man and an inspiration

[@mrchrisjanderson]

You’re an inspiration to many Ben. Your Dad would be so so proud. Keep doing you 👏

[@danwilson4967]

Absolute grafter 👏🏼, sure your dad would be super proud of you

[@jaysmartin]

I came here after seeing you on the road trip and Matt and his Dad as well as the Tavarish stig lap. Thank you for not being boring! (Even if you do like fake fishing 😜)

[@karlfranks35]

I work with my dad. Best thing ever. I’m really sorry about your Dad. I don’t know how I’d deal with that. This is a wonderful video. Good luck with everything.

[@robbieguy22]

Fair play Ben, keep her lit! Great to see these success stories like yourself and Matt! Keeps me confident by own business might open doors like this one day!

[@GCMYT]

Ben, you sir are a legend. I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with you, and to anyone reading this, it truly goes to show: don't judge a book by its cover. He may be ginger, and he may smell of fish, but take it from me-this man is a hard worker. No amount of "daddy's money" comments will change my opinion that he's going places. He could have easily spent money on strippers and drugs, but instead, he's inspiring us all to make the best of our situation and keep our chins held high. I cant wait to see where you'll be a few years from now.... Don't forget.. you owe me a spin in that Hurracan!

[@benfowlerfisheries]

Wish you were at gumball yesterday bro! Missed you. Thanks for the kind comment 🫶

[@kings3803]

Yes you had a great start but you have made the most of it instead of pissing it up the wall like most would. And you can't forget the impact your website had on the business especially during lockdown so you deserve all the success.

[@WoefDesign]

What a beautiful story! I gotta say that I didn’t know who you were before I watched one of Mat’s videos but like I’m glad I know now😌

[@APikeAnglersChronicles]

Don't let the jealous haters get to you. You're just using your talents and drive to make a good living for yourself. Brilliant idea to make a carp pond, I myself is a pike fisherman and don't have the patience to sit and wait for hours for a strike 🤣 Good luck with all your ventures!

[@timmoll9833]

Wow, respect to you young man! Your father would be so proud. You are a true inspiration to the young generation.

[@MaDMaXGroW]

Sad to hear about your Dad Ben, but he wanted this for you and you are carrying on the family legacy. Awesome achievements also. Keep going man.

[@andyking05]

I only know you from your fishing lake videos, I never realised how much you are into cars, I didn't know how a podcast could be such a popular thing - with amazing revenue, I didn't know that you are an entrepreneur, and a successful one at that, you are such a humble guy, well done dude, enjoy everything you have and don't let others question the path you have chosen. 👊

[@michaellittlejohns1648]

Wow ben i spoke to you today which is the 27th of june and honestly i didn’t realize you had done all of that to be able to have all the things you have now but it was nice to meet you and cant wait to meet you again next month at the car meet if your still going

[@gavstenhouse8857]

Well played Ben keep following your dreams I’m sure your dad will be looking down on you as a proud parent 👍

[@clumpfab2740]

Well done! Great to see people succeed and enjoy life

[@Street_Automotive]

Great video Ben👌 I found you on Road to Success. Love hearing about business and the journey. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad😢 I have recently just lost my dad and feel lost without him. Your dad would be so proud of you well done mate. 🙌 Putting your head into work sounds very familiar. Watching this has inspired me and I want to build our brand under dad's legacy. 😊

[@FrankieLeePodcast]

Congratulations on the success and sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad

[@TerryGoddard-ly7nc]

Absolutely Top draw Video, In life we are all given tools.. it’s the down too the individual how he uses them… good stuff

[@KerwinConnolly]

A multi million pound business is a much more useful tool than most are given though lol

[@JezOwers]

Hi Ben be proud of who you are and your dad and mums influence on you! Yes you have got money but you are hard working just like your dad! I am same but without the money! Parents work ethic passed to their kids is so empowering! Keep up the great work! No jealousy just super inspiring from you!

[@ocdetailsautomotivedetaili1781]

my PT Dan speaks about you every time he is putting me in the bin with a session lol. ive been watching you for years but it goes to show how small the world is. keep driving for success it pays off :D

[@DavidDeLuge]

Fair play to you. Yes, you’ve received wealth from your Dad’s business but at the cost of losing him. He would definitely be proud of the decisions you’ve made. Hats off to you 👍🏻

[@martinhigson7926]

Kudos! 👏👏👏 Saw you on Mats channel and loved the banter and respect. I’m in awe of the work put in by you all. It’s almost like a cult 😂😂😂

[@markramsay6399]

What a great video this is. Adds a lot of context - well done and all the best Sir. Mark.

[@julianhawkins9423]

Awesome story from success to loss to success, you inspire us to do more and knock down doors that stand in our way. For some reason some so called friends never want you to make it., be successful and happy. I run a very small exterior cleaning business and enjoy every minute whatever the weather and situation. Keep going but enjoy every moment along this brilliant journey…

[@Flex4ya]

Massive respect for selling the business and chasing your dreams

[@Tjeturner]

Great down to earth video! You play the cards you get dealt, nothing wrong with that 👍🏻

[@retroleigh]

A great vid! You clearly deserve to be where you are in life. Sure, your parents gave you a great start, but the rest is all your own doing. (I discovered you through Matt Armstrong)
