WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NAVY SEAL BUSINESS PARTNER??? - Episode 184

In this episode, my former navy seal business partner Ben shares why and how we went our separate ways as business partners...
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. They found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are almost ready to cross the Pacific Ocean!!

[@jlaw007]

No. R

[@mhairihefft3290]

A really lovely little story about you and your brother from another Mother🧡

[@freddie_mvp]

It’s si funny how limited Jamie’s communication skills are though.

[@Ian_Christensen]

Cheers

[@hearmenow909]

I think we all owe Ben a big thank you because we wouldn't be here enjoying the channel if he hadn't been such a legend. What a guy.

[@whiskeywookie2758]

Dissolving a business partnership but still being mates speaks volumes for both of your character. That's awesome that Ben was so supportive, and sometimes even if it's not what the plan started out being you have to support awesomeness when you see it...

[@OnTheFlipSide]

Good people attract good people, Colin, Jamie, and Ben are all amazing humans.

[@rogerblackwood8815]

I was thinking of something meaningful to say, but you said it better, nice👍👍

[@simonshurety3870]

I could do with a few guys like these about the place.

[@BrianNoe]

Man, that poor bird. So sweet of you guys to take care of him.

[@vcnoxyt]

Ben seems like a hell of a guy. The poise and structure he provided allowed Parlay to thrive! Such a fantastic story of Parlay history! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

That was a treat having Ben back on your channel! I've watched from the beginning and remember the backstory. It was nice to see his life and hear how much the two of you mean to each other. True friends are meant to be loved and treasured. Saving a friendship, and honoring a business deal, speaks to the quality of your character. Jamie, I wish you safe travels and a speedy recovery. 🤝

[@scottthompson8946]

Everyone knows you and Jamie are great guys; what's wonderful is now everyone gets to see what great guys US Military Veterans are. 🇺🇲

[@chrisabernathy1082]

I think most of us who watched from the start understand about Ben. And have seen you host him several times since you bought out his share. It's great that you two have such a good friendship to this day. Alot of times a business relationship can kill friendships. But I think Ben is always welcome on Parley and it's great he seen your potential and passion to create Parley Revival and share your journey with all of us.

[@JuPac420]

Can’t lie, I’m really gonna miss Jamie’s infectious charisma from these episodes! Hoping his eye treatment goes well, and he’s back on board giving everyone a laugh in no time.

[@rickharris5485]

Thanks to Ben for his service. To be a Seal is even more reason to respect him and thank him for his hard work and dedication. That was really great of him to give you his blessing and financial support. I hope he's rewarded ten times over.

[@TheBullockFamily]

Ben seems like a really great dude and he definitely doesn’t seem to be struggling he looks very healthy and happy. It’s also such a blessing you guys are still great friends

[@MrJoemuck]

Ben is a Rockstar! Thank you for sharing the story! Keep the Dream alive!

[@azpaquin]

This was a very special episode on so many levels. To see the friendship and level of insight as to how Ben assessed, saw in you , put ego aside and moved to a mutually beneficial outcome… man.. true testament to the man he is. Keep pushing forward and let the next adventure await!

[@terryhowie3099]

Hi Colin, what a great story about your partnership with Ben! There aren't many men like Ben on this earth. He obviously recognized what a great person you are indeed. Love your channel brother!!

[@JKLMJoneses]

I love the bravery. Colin for dreaming big. Ben for moving to a foreign country to own his dream home. You guys are truly inspiring!!

[@georgerokonaceva2533]

Bula!bula brother amazing story bro things do happen for a reason we met people for a reason bro your living the dream🍻vinaka 🍻

[@dre61986]

that house is beyond gorgeous

[@g-dog4563]

Cheers Ben. Thanks for being cool.

[@temotu518]

Colin, you are one very rare individividual and I'm so glad I came across your channel...I'm hooked🙂

[@travelsketch]

So nice to see such a genuine friendship - people like Ben make your life richer

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Ben is a legend

[@MarthaLarimer]

I've been around since almost the beginning, it was great to see Ben again! Jamie, we will miss you again but anticipate your healthy return! As always, thanks for sharing your life with us Colin!

[@Conan-ny1um]

Ben is a legend!

[@LostYogi]

This story deserves a lot more views!

[@wildaltarose]

Hoping that Jamie heals quickly. We will miss his laugh, I don’t think I have ever seen Jamie upset. What a great sailing buddy.

[@heaven-is-real]

Thank You for saving that bird.

[@caliaccarino4416]

Great friendships are hard to find, awesome to see Ben again.

[@ryanbrazil7842]

Seriously Jamie needs his own vlog bits like TikTok, half the stuff he ever says will always put a smile on everyone's face! I'm so glad he's stuck around!

[@courtneylove223]

Am I the only dying to see Ben's reaction to his snake plant?! 🤣🤣

[@CA-bo6sv]

Shout out to Ben, he is one standup guy to allow you to chase your dream and support your larger vision and give you the means to help make it happen. Not many people like that around.

[@Tobesofab]

I like Ben. Reminds me of a era when friends were true to each other, reminds me that out there in this crappy mixed up world we find ourselves at times, there are people who remain faithful to the goodness we hold within ourselves.

[@andrewlocke1637]

What a story. It brings back your faith in humanity. I hope Jamie has a nice time with his family and restores his eye sight. Keep it going. Love the videos.😊

[@heatherangellight8558]

Thank goodness that bird knew to choose you!!!! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@HokieKittens]

That's love. ❤ we all need someone who believes in us even when we aren't so sure.

[@michaelsimpson9779]

That's integrity, through and through. Good on you. 👍

[@richardgooding498]

Great times with great people is always a great day. 👍👍🍺🍺☮️

[@jacksonvillejetriders6529]

The Saturday upload has me checking my calendar! 😎

[@myinfinitestate1586]

G'day Colin, what an absolute great video mate. It's nice to see that your friendship with Ben has only grown stronger since your Business relationship ended. Ben's definitely a true friend, mate. BTW: the EDITING on this video was absolutely bloody amazing. Colin, since you took over the job of editing & shooting video for Parlay, the quality has been impeccable! Keep up the great work. Cheers from WA 🇦🇺 .

[@kaskl5403]

Good story of how things started and not ended just continued.

[@donaldradcliffe6704]

I remember the Tamarindo airport 30 years ago. No buildings and the pilot would buzz the runway to get the cows off. Good times!

[@pompanokey3200]

Shout out to Ben for being an all around good dude

[@TrackJax]

Thats cool to have a friend like that, that can help you with your dream. Have wonder for some time what happen, Ben seems like a real good friend.

[@nigelsearson5499]

What a great man and a great friend! Takes a big man to realise you have to let someone follow their dreams especially when money is involved

[@dollardollar6510]

The bird was just asking you for help Dr. Colin, He just left you a good luck present.

[@chantellee2013]

I love how you live life to the fullest! You r inspiring!!

[@alekbaublis]

Super cool how you guys saved that bird! Bread actually happens to be bad for birds digestive systems, so if you are able to give it a little bit of fish or something like that next time it would be safer! Awesome video as always!

[@ricardocarranza7352]

Hooyah! It's remarkable how Navy entrepreneurs understand having teammates achieve maximum potential, it on not only elevates the whole team but it also cements friendships that are worth dying for. Bravo Zulu

[@benausmelbourne1406]

Having had friendships, turning into business relationships, then things going south, ending friendships... I can say: You can be so proud about yourselves! Massive respect to Ben and to you holding your course!

[@ar15gator]

Excellent Episode! Congrats on your accomplishments and your deep friendships ✊🏻👏🏻💯

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

There are two kinds of friends, One you can call at 2 AM and say I need bail. Shore thing were and how much.They don't ask why, the other you call and they ask WHF did you do, I can't help bro. If you have good friends that believe in keeping good you found a soul mate, guys don't talk about it nor hide what you need to hear from them. Protect your buddies, could be your kids, worker,biker or someone that helped along the way. Ben is one of them good paths you guys were on Keep it real..

[@petergroves9343]

Colin & Ben. Brothers in kind, frickin awesome 👏

[@richardbell976]

Wow fantastic episode, blessing an karma. Maturity an no egoes , stars aline and hard work paid of.

[@petermarsh5762]

Parley Revival is many things to many people, for me you represent the adventurers that I wish I’d I could be. And the bird scene enforces the notion that no good deed goes unpunished.

[@boppermacca9346]

That was a really great episode .. you can see and hear by your emotion how much that man does mean to you.. such a great personal story to share.. that is a friendship that will stand the test of time

[@limeygal1]

Great episode. It was good to see you and Ben are still friends. I was always curious of what happened but it wasn't polite to ask. It speaks volumes of what a good guy he is. He has a beautiful home. I think you are both lucky meeting one another and we are lucky that you took the path you did and the bird is very lucky. Tears in my eyes this episode.

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Praying for you Jamie! You're an understated party of Parlay.

[@wfkvr6]

There is no better reward in this world than helping someone elevate themselves and achieve their purpose in life. Relationships, friendships, and blood are the only real things in the world and everything else is just noise.

[@Psalm1101]

Love between brothers he gave you that choice free choice

[@SnoDawg]

Coming from a 25 year video and audio editor. Your editing is top notch now. Whatever changed in your editing process was a great change.

[@akLeanne]

What an awesome human. Good friends like that are hard to come by. Cherish that relationship.

[@deanweber4370]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, KEEPING US ALL SAFE AT HOME , GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS ,AND ALL, P.S. LOVE THE ART WORK , I AM NOT YELLING, JUST SEEING BETTER SORRY CAPPS

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Kia ora Colin, Awesome video with Ben...Oops what a mess in the bedroom! JAMIE, all the very best for your Cataract eye operation. Yeah mate wear sunnies. Enjoy your two months back home in Aussie, with your mum and family.*

[@discodiana1984]

The partners demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence in working through the diverging visions.

[@RinasAMaker]

I have a good friend that lives in Tam - such a beautiful place. I keep telling her that since she is now retired, she deserves a housekeeper and I’ll be glad to move there and help her out lol 😂

[@NYWaters]

About two years ago one I discovered I could not see out of one eye. It was like the eye was coated by vaseline. It was a cataract. Had a cataract operation (took a total of about ten minutes) and now have 20/20 vision in that eye. Amazing difference as I'm sure Jamie will find out. I'm sure he'll be back on board soon.

[@Bobby82568]

You guys need to go somewhere where the beer flows like wine 🤙🏻

[@Wallystrom]

Really beautiful testimony to the idea that being a good person will draw good people to you. Great episode, thanks for the update on Ben!

[@traceysmallwood7489]

I remember watching watching your first video you have come so far.

[@DJslushy92]

Navy seals are all about brotherhood and he would have had to trust you which he did and for him to let him pay you back in your own time makes him a true friend.

[@rickbacon9150]

Honorable friends are a man's treasure for life. I am glad you have yours.

[@douganderson771]

Great story of trust and a bond between good people willing to help and share.

[@michaelashby9654]

Great episode. Great season. I know its real but its better than any movie or TV show.

[@nickd901]

The ring light in the bedroom has me laughing my A** off!

[@chrisrose3915]

Your videos never disappoint. Ben should have a channel. Ben you have my respect.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Truly amazing and beautiful story about how Parlay Revival was conceived and then evolved into it's final form. Thank you for sharing this with us and as someone who's been here since basically the start of it all on KZbin it's awesome to hear the whole story straight from the horses mouth as they say. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

[@rayb3117]

Jamie better come back. He and Colin are the glue for that boat. Parlay can survive without one, mostly. But its better to have both...lol..crazy damn aussie

[@laurierodriguez1432]

I can feel your gratitude...it's a beautiful thing!✌️💜

[@pierrepatrickst-pierre4943]

You're doing great cheers to Ben

[@fordfan3179]

Good things happen to good people. Here's wishing you both many great sunsets and long friendship!

[@jenbeckman6318]

What an amazing few moments w/ you and Ben explaining what happened.

[@engineeringconsulting5534]

Colin, It's nice to have True Friends. I have two that I have known for over two thirds of my life; and I feel blessed to have them in my life. Cheers Mate. Blue Skies and Fair Winds. Faithfully, James

[@pamapple17]

Love seeing you again

[@MrWoodshoes]

Nice that you still are friends even though the partnership dissolved.

[@daled8221]

WOW you both are such solid dudes! Life goes in many directions & it looks like you both scored!!! Thanks again for bringing us along! Good luck Jamie!!!

[@justinfufun5483]

Jamie is a star. And he is pretty handy at the golf hey 😉

[@jameswesthart5873]

Thank you guys for being kind to the animals.

[@PacificSolo]

A story well told. Thanks for sharing what happened with you both and the business partnership

[@darguru6774]

Lol at the mess made by the dog. Worse feeling ever, having something like that happen when you are invited to a friends house!!!!

[@diannejohansen4488]

Thanks I did wonder where your partner went but lovely to see your still good buds. His tats are wicked ❤

[@ClyFrog4]

I think this might be my favorite episode yet. good people attract good people

[@williamryanbill]

Great video guys. Had me laughing my ass off a few times. Great work with helping the bird, loved that y’all were able to do that. ❤⛵️🐶

[@rolandtb3]

History, fun, opportunities, friends, family, reunions.

[@rad1ist]

You guys are visionaries ! Great stories. Love honorable people!

[@michaelbooth1097]

Hey Colin thanks for sharing from the heart mate. You have a big heart for people and that’s what attracts people to you. To be real and show a vulnerable side of yourself is not an easy thing to do. But the more you do it will be like a magnet to others. Kia kaha brother!

[@mabu1363]

I see you, Colin, wearing the Parsifal III shirt!

[@TheFreakyman81]
