I wouldn't have it any other way

Join me on a Saturday as we get stuff done that won't get done until it gets done. There are a few helpful things in this video for you guys wanting to get into business. I'm definitely not trying to discourage anyone but there are some realities that you should know before you take the plunge. Enjoy

[@terrywade7346]

Eric is young and has the drive and he is learning so good for him. I hope he stays with you for the long haul.

[@moomasterseth]

Good morning Ryan! Cat name suggestions: For your Victory reference I would name her Victoria, call her Vikki for short (Vikki Kitty) Pepper, for your love of Dr. Pepper and lastly, Monet, so when she gets feisty you can yell "Easy Monet...!" (Money) Love the videos! A very big thank you from Rhode Island to you, and the crew!

[@subliminal128]

Those are all so good I hope he sees this.

[@operez378op]

Victoria was going to be my suggestion

[@Miser_Mask]

Pepper also works well since the cat is black and white.

Amazing suggestions honestly could use any of the three. I think pepper or monet are best tho

[@honestbuiltperformance1819]

you feeding eric business really does speak volumes about your character yet AGAIN. GREAT job ryan! We are all very proud of you, and i myself as a 29 year old man really look up to you

[@thebl4ckd0g]

Been watching a few of your videos this week. You are how all bosses should inspire to be. You are good with your guys, you care about them. Don't seem to ever get visibly frustrated or mad ever when they mess up - and you are always teaching them. Hopefully they are taking all the knowledge you give them to heart for the future. Great videos man!

[@Justins00ss]

Very cool of you to pass along jobs to Eric. That's a stand up move Ryan! Your absolutely right about running a business. My father always says your only as good as your reputation. Especially with the internet. It's a non-stop job but has huge rewards.

[@maxleung2762]

I’m glad he’s doing that with Eric. Some people don’t give others opportunities to get better or learn new skills sometimes they just wanna keep that guy where he is so they have a for sure guy for like free floating or finishing but it’s good to see Ryan be a actual good boss and give him the opportunity.

[@Will97675]

That shows just how much he trusts Eric

[@tanthony298]

VERY VERY VERY few bosses do this it's really nice to see Ryan do that hopefully Eric doesn't take advantage of it use it to get himself established then leave Ryan high and dry I've seen it happen but maybe Ryan doesn't mind if he betters his life which is what most bosses say they want but really don't.

[@cowsgohuh7328]

I’ll ask again. I love Eric. But Eric has basic struggles when he’s working with you. How does he do it on his own?

[@Jay__EL]

Those few minutes at the end of the video with your family, that’s golden! You can feel the fulfillment as a man, beautiful family! I come from a broken family, no father figure, mom always working, plenty time on my hands since I was 14 and in need of guidance I ended up looking for it in the streets, I can’t help but wonder how life would’ve been with a solid male figure. I hope one day to be at least half the stand up man you are sr. Thanks for the videos! 💯

I think the cat is awesome. My family has a few and certainly had the cats and dogs over the years. Tough for naming a cat after concrete and I actually like Darryl Jr's suggestion but maybe something as simple as Star would fit.

[@scottmeredith8409]

I was given an old business lesson many years ago. You can have 2 of the 3 options. Price, quality, or service. Which 2 do you want? There are tradeoffs in each one. I always valued each of my vendors and their services and knew that with quality and service comes with a price. That being said I think my vendors respected that we both wanted value for those services. Hope this makes sense.

[@teebo5298]

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. Quote I live by

Tears in my eyes I graduated from high school and went to work in Berlin as a au pair in 1968 before the Wall came down in. My brother was stationed there in the army. Just a height of Vietnam.

Their lifetime is going to see so many of them I lost count how many I've seen in 73 years. Keep that piece of all close to your heart because you never know when it can happen again.

Probably too late as this video is two months old, but I thought a good name for your cat would be Reba, short for rebar. I really enjoy watching your videos as they’ve given me a better understanding of the concrete business. I am the senior appraiser and Op Manager for a valuation services company that provides commercial, condo and hospitality properties in Florida and the US🎉 with a replacement cost of buildings and amenities for insurance purposes. Long story short, our valuation is what an insurance carrier uses to set values for an insurance policy for both wind and flood. The insurance market here in Florida is absolutely ridiculous and will be worse now that hurricane Ian has had an effect on a portion of the state. Anyhow, I thought I’d drop you a line to let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time to produce these videos. I work from home and I’m stuck in my office here at the house most of the time so I live vicariously through your videos. Lol I love your management style and your humor, and I find myself laughing right along with you and your crew. I appreciate you, and wish you, your family and your crew all the best!
