Hey Ryan, I know what the issue is with the camera. They have the fisheye lens in them, and all you have to do is go on to the gopro studio snd they have an option to "flatten" the video. You'll appreciate it sir. Peace man.

😊

Flatten it like the curve baby.

@EricDanMan555 does now

@Audun Wangen Looks good and you don't lose any real estate fixing it in post though. I hear ya though sir, thanks for the info.

Man, I am so happy this channel exists. I have been binge watching a bunch of your older vids and know that I am nearing the point of having seen them all. Thanks for bringing us all along on your days at work and even the behind the scenes and parody type videos. This channel has quickly grown to my most recommended channel. Ryan, you are a good man. I feel like I am learning how to have patience and understanding from your examples shown in your videos. Your guys are all very lucky to have you watching out for them. Everything about this channel is what YouTube needs more of. You have a very interesting journey and I am here for it all. God bless you all and please keep the content flowing.

major respect for ryan, he’s a hard working boss and he can scold the crew and make sure they know that they messed up, he set his expectation and then moved on, a lot of bosses would just focus on that for the day and be mad about that but he realizes you can only be mad for so long and you still gotta get the work done

My wife just asked me if Eric is new. I told her no. Her response, "then why is he always being told what to do?!" Hahaha

You’re guiding Eric like your own son, I hope he doesn’t take it granted. You’re the best boss Ryan. Victory Style!

Hey I'm a handicapped person I want all your videos you do really good I wish you could send me a het

@Vreal_G lighten up

he was the one that messed up the grading lol

@Bundio Torres chapin la jefa que te crio 🤣

Like a step son..

Good sense of leadership! A stern message and then moving on to keep moral up👏🏽🙌🏽

that is so true 💯

Perfect example of what a manager, boss, owner should be like. Make your point when a employee messes up and move on…. No reason in ruining the employee-boss relationship. Keep up the great work.

@Joseph I don’t think it’s the cheapest. He could easily go to Home Depot and pick up day laborers

@Joseph how cheep are they?

@Joseph You sound jealous.😆

but not for darol lol

I'm glad Eric took it on the head, adjusted, and moved on. I really look forward to seeing Eric move up in his business dealings, maybe even become the next Ryan and develop his own style. You're one of the best, if not, the best boss I've seen on YouTube when it comes to dealing with mistakes. I hope you feel better and continue doing amazing work, making customers happy, and teaching your guys the ways of the Concrete Master.

You and Eric are hilarious 😂 like a son getting on his dads nerves. Love this channel! Always get good laughs! Much love from Guam! Keep up the great work gentleman!🇬🇺🤙🏽

The patience that Ryan has is something I strive to replicate

Hey Ryan, thanks for all the uploads. Watching skilled tradesmen do excellent work is always fascinating to watch. Have you thought about getting your own concrete trucks? I don't know anything about the industry, was just curious?

never realized just how good that compactor was until seeing you guys trying to dig it back up

Well it’s a compacter for a reason.

Ryan, get well soon, it must me a real struggle to push yourself to get going in the morning while being sick, and not to mention all the things during the day on the jobsite. Good for scolding the crew and then changing your mindset to forget it for the rest of the day and move on. Thank you for a great vlog, can't wait for the next one...oh and excellent garage pour too!

Wow this video made me feel so much better I thought I was the only one that experiences this with my crew haha. Thanks Ryan for showing the real side of what us bosses deal with right down to not cleaning the tools when there’s nothing to do. And unfortunately whenever we leave early for the day nothings ever done that we leave them with 100%. God bless brother

I’ve laid concrete once in my life but after finding this channel I’m addicted to watching his progress! Keep it up! Sound like a great boss to work for!

As a concrete finisher, I feel like I’m at work when I watch these videos. You know that heartbeat we all get when the concrete truck pulls up 😂 been watching your channel for about a year now, it may not always be pretty but you always keep it real. Good boss 👍👍👍💪💪

Thanks for posting this, you captured something that really only comes with experience- you had to discipline/reprimand the crew- they got the message, went to work, and got it done without ruining the entire mood/environment. Most bosses can't transition as smoothly and once you raise your voice it's just quiet on the yard for the rest of the day.

These videos have been helping me with my postpartum depression. I worked masonry with my dad and husband before pregnancy. We really never did flat work but I still feel connected to the lifestyle again from these videos. Thank you for this.

Ryan, im about 4 weeks new to the channel and i have learned so much how you lead your crew. I'm currently supervising 5 employees in my company. My company is 1 year old, and im passionate about concrete work. However i was unsure how to lead my crew on a daily basis until i found your channel. Im a serious, strict individual so often times i don't have alot of time to make conversations with my workers. The only time i would really talk to them is when i would tell them what to do, or give them a hard time when they make a mistake. Watching your videos inspired me to learn to become a leader and not a boss for my workers, and it has made our working environment and moral of my workers much better than it was before. I never would have imagined that smiling more often, and conversating with your employees would make a huge impact in my crew. Made me also become a better person individually as well. So thank you Ryan for inspiring me, and showing a hard hat person like myself that there are better ways to handle sitations in a work place and showing what true leadership is all about. God bless you and your family and once again, thank you. I would have never imagined myself finding a mentor through a screen, until i found you. Stay winning brother, eeeaaasy money 💪🙏

Good job bro. Sometimes we’re our own obstacle. God bless.

Good for you man. continue to strive to be a good leader. If they see you being lazy they will too. if they see you working hard it will inspire them to do the same.

First time I've seen you guys for concrete, my son has been driving a cement truck for over a year now and he keeps saying it is a lot of work, but actually laying the concrete that I see you guys doing is more work than I've ever seen anybody have to put into a job. Sure hope them guys are getting paid good because they are good.

Love watching you guys, I'm a DIYer and always love getting the opportunity to learn new trades. Greetings from Southern Maryland.

Thank you for another great video Ryan, I really enjoyed it. I am sending 🙏🏻 your way hoping by next video you are feeling much better, sending prayers to your family, and your crew, hopefully Eric realizes the wisdom you are trying to impart to him, it will certainly help him later in life. keep rocking it guys Victory Style!!! 👍🏻

Hope you feel better Ryan. I’m battling a flu also. But it’s easier for me to take a day off. Get some rest! All the best from Canada.

You guys are awesome… you run a very good crew. Your professional and put out quality work. Your not in it for just the easy money but to build you name. Most contractors are not even in your league. Keep it up! I love seeing contractors doing what I do. 👌

Mike seems like a great employee and guy all around. Can definitely see why you would let him take over your lawn maintenance business

I hope you get well soon!!! never seen you this down, but very impressive how you still continue, and motivate others to work hard even being sick.

Ryan your children are adorable! They are so well behaved and that is a true reflection on how they have been raised. God bless you and your family.

Thank you Ryan for the videos, honestly it always fun and relaxing watching your content after a hard day at work.

Get well Ryan, you’re a workhorse and the Victory team needs you at a 💯. Keep it up boss I never get tired of the videos!

this channel is unique, i like it alot. wholesome content. i bet more people would be in the workforce if they could find more crews and a boss like this! 👍👍

Hey Ryan! We love your videos man, wanted to offer some help on the GoPro issue. The cameras come out of the box preset to "Wide" lens. Means everything ends up curved through a fisheye. What you want is "Linear". It's super simple to set up on the GoPro itself, just edit the preset and you'll be good. Plenty of tutorials it takes about 30 seconds. Then we'll get a real sense of those "perfectly straight joints" you keep talking about...😂

Hi Jordan

They look real straight to me ,nice work.

You have a new subscriber. I saw Alvaro comment to you so clicked on your channel. Looks like right up my alley. I love to see a successful Chanel supporting another successful and down to earth channel. It speaks highly of your character.

@Alvaro Rangel Thank you for your reply. I just clicked on Stud pack, and right up my alley! I have not watched any videos yet, but looking forward to it! I enjoy finding channels that have content I like following and commenting on channels like Victory. It says a lot about them. Thanks again.

Wow my other favorite channel also watches victory outdoor services

It’s awesome to see the owner being active and working with his employees and also admitting wrongs and rights. I bet everyone was happy to go home early, I don’t ever expect to go home early, but when I’m told to I’m super excited 🤣😂

im glad i came back to the channel today.. i needed this message. im guilty of carrying an attitude longer than i should, and it affects those around me. This channel is much more than amazing concrete work.. this is serious testimony. thank you for being a fisher of men.

Ryan, Your calmness during that situation, is a sign of a true champion and leader👊

I feel so bad for you Ryan that you have to work while you are sick hope you get better soon 🙌🏼

God bless you, your team and your family. Great work and great content.

Ryan it sounds like you are due for a much needed vacation 😂 keep up the good work!

ive never done concrete work before and it looks brutal! Would be fun to come work a day with you guys! Love the vids!

You might look into a tracked buggy for your next one. They might be a bit larger but with the extra features they can work in tighter spaces. And they have different kinds of tracks depending on the need. We have 2 of them at our shop I wouldn`t trade them for anything.

I was lucky to have a boss like you who was always teaching me things for my first 2 years of roofing I was just a labourer and was told on my first day he never wants to see me standing still there is always something to do seeing Daryl laying on the grass while everyone else is working honestly frustrated me and once I went up a rank where I was on the tools not at a roofers level But knew what I could and couldn’t do I started doing side jobs then soon realised there is so much more I need to learn before I set off on my own because I want to succeed and not fail in the long run I see so much people like Eric who have these great ideas of going on there own but yet have so much to learn that old saying got all the gear but got no idea keep up the good work Ryan see you on the next video 👌 eeeeeasy money

In a full work day I wonder how much Darryl actually works! He's always sitting, sleeping, or eating!

Hope you feel better soon, my wife is sick and sounds like you this morning, also still sending prayers for Scott! I havent heard anything about Bugs, if you updated about him i must of missed it Hope he is doing well and comes back soon! God Bless and tell the guy's Hello from Pa!!

Shame on Darryl for not wearing a helmet. Life is too precious. Ryan, the many things I love about you, is that you are detailed oriented. It comes natural to you. The guys rely too much on you for details, so that is why they forget basic things, when you are not there to guide them. I hope Eric does not mess up this golden opportunity you are giving him.

ryan didnt wear one either lol

It’s difficult to train someone up and for them to take ownership of their area of responsibility. It’s possible with the right crew. Wishing you all the best, enjoyed the video.

Ryan, I use to pour and finish concrete back in 05-06 after high school. It was one of the most satisfying jobs I ever had. And back then we poured miles of sidewalks for new developments using the long STEEL FORMS (your crew has it lucky not lugging those around) Wondered if you ever used the plastic strips that would lay down and then peel out to leave expansion joints. We used them a lot in garage and basement floors.

The rounded effect can be fixed in the GoPro settings. Go to the lens option and put it on linear that will remove the fisheye effect that makes your joint look crooked. I love the videos keep up the great work!

More videos everyday plz Ryan! They keep my day pushing watching you and the guys work is awesome!

HGTV needs to pick this up as a series, perfect setup for a show. Crazy crew with personalities, good work, dedicated family, life lessons learned! Do it Ryan!

Calm down

Bugs would've never let it happen if he were there :) Keep up the good work sir!

First off I’m new to the channel and love the videos. Personally haven’t done much concrete but I do have one question. Keep in mind I don’t know all the technical wording so bare with me here. When you are making your lines in the middle of the concrete, is there an advantage doing them after the concrete is just setting up compared to cutting them in after the concrete is hard?

Hey Ryan love the channel 👍💪keep up the amazing content/work 👏 👍 👌, you and your crew seem like a good bunch of guys, you got a new subscriber from me sir 😎👍.looking forward to the next video. Wishing you and yours all the best 👍 have fun be safe brother 😎💪👍

Just goes to show not every job is "easy money". Keep up the good work y'all!

Eric really is a boss! Leaning on his shovel watching the others fix his mistake! Cooome oonnn

Aww, your little ones are beautiful. God bless you all, and everyone on the crew. 😌🌹🙏🏽

I try to be the same with my guys, routine things that they've been taught day in, day out, then you're not there & it's like they forget everything they've been taught. My Foreman has worked for me for 14yrs & he just had a week & a half off due to lack of accountability & responsibility. This costs money, set backs that should never happen cost money...I pay them very well & if you can't do without me spoon feeding it to you every day, I'll find someone that will appreciate the pay & the work. But when point is made & problem is resolved, time to re-set & move on with the project. Well done Sir!

Love how Ryan works with Eric .. I’m 23 in my field of work and my boss is always willing to help me with anything i need very similar Ryan

As someone who owns his own landscaping business, I know what you’re going through with this sickness. I think one of the worst things in the world is having to come in to work sick not because you want to but because you have to. Hope you feel better man.

That's what happens with everybody that works. If your sick we still need to work right??

You are soo laid back as a boss man. Ive worked so hard for some.companys that just has assanine bosses. Id love to have a boss like you ryan. Your employees better love you

Love your videos Ryan! Always look forward to them boss 🙌🏼

Love the videos Ryan! Keep up the good work, I can’t wait till bugs is back in the videos! So sad about Scott I hope he’s okay…victory style!!

As some who managed people for over 20 years, I’ve learned a few things the hard way. Once you have the “talk” or “crucial conversation” just let it be, don’t bring it up any more. They know, just let it go and move on with the rest of the day. Rehashing has no benefit.

What surprised me is the fact that he needs to tell them each step over and over again. Are all these people 1st day on the job? If he had an emergency and was not there would that job be done even 30% of quality it needs? Like they all came from different trades and it's their first slab in their life. ???

​@CD VLOG No Copyright Music These guys do this for a living and it is not that hard they should know how it is to be done !!!!

I think don't show the project or don't pay... One day its bad work another day don't have team...

If you don't talk and tell him the project... Don't knows what you wana do.

Just like having kids.

You guys do great work for sure, how you act with your guys should be example how bosses should be. I wish I lived closer I would work for you and be on time lol hat goes off to you....

Top notch old man. Check the work. My guys with over 15 years experience still act like it's their first day on the job 50% of the time. Reminds me of my dad but 99% nicer. Keep it up big dog.

Hey Ryan I want to take a minute and say thank you a lot for helping to find a job just like yours it’s been almost a year I’m doing this job and your the one that help me to have a job like this and your the one that gave me motivation to do a job like that I just want to say thank you a lot and keep the hard work and the videos and I want to say hi to all the guys. Victory style

Wow the 8.1's are kinda rare, a little thirsty but great, great and reliable blocks! Lots of torque and power as soon as you touch the gas pedal! ✌️

Good focus on letting the mess up pass and moving forward for the pour. Don't let what other's say get you down. You have only yourself to satisfy. You know what you're doing. Self-reflection is always good for a person. Stay Safe guys! Adios!

It’s crazy how the new guy is more helpful than darryl and darryl has been with ryan for at-least 10yrs.

Ryan love your content. For some reason you make watching concrete dry entertaining LOL but I wanted to tell you I’ve noticed your joints looking crooked too. Although with your knowledge and experience they’re not really crooked. It’s from the lens on your camera. If the lens is either convex or concave and when you pan and get to the edge of the lens I think it’s causing the lines to look like that. It is indeed the camera. Even if I’m wrong it’s just an illusion. Hope you feel better soon.

Hey bud I just want to say I love the channel me and my son have been watching for quite a while I started off in concrete in the trades and it was one of the best jobs I ever had and I agree with you 100% of the time and then I saw this video and that's all that you have guys that every single day of their life almost put concrete at 4 in or thicker and to come out when you're sick and find two and a half inches of concrete I just want to say you are truly blessed with the gift of self control not saying that I would come out throw tools and be the craziest guy in the world but when you leave these guys that have been doing this for literally years of their life and they know better to me personally I think I would have took it as just a straight slap in the face because they know better but I just want to say but I love your videos I love your work I think you cut concrete better than anybody I've seen ever and just that you're truly blessed with the spirit of calmness take care and I will be praying for you and your family

Killing it! I work for a stamped concrete company out of North Dakota and part of me wants to move to Wisconsin just to work for you!

I do drywall right now but ever since I started watching your videos I want to do concrete 😂 awesome work

Keep up with the videos Ryan we all really appreciate them. Thank you.

The Destroyer riding without a helmet. Not too smart for a guy being so accident prone

Becouse he a brilliant boss the staff start to slack. The staff need to remember he your boss not a friend even thu he a mate.

Darrel and the word smart should never be used in the same sentence...like Jr and hard work should never be in the same sentence...common

Did you take a Covid test ?

Not like there is anything up there that needs protection.

I had similar issues with my employees because I was always the one doing the final checks; they never did, they always relied on me because that's the way I trained them. Now I let them check and report to me if they think all is correct. They didn't do this on purpose, they just waited for their "parent" to check their work. It's easy to say "obvious mistake", but that's not the issue. The issue is to learn that no one is coming after you, that mistakes happen and that you need to find your own mistakes. You can only grow in your profession if you make mistakes, find them yourself and correct them. They're good with the mistake making, but not so much with the "something is not right" part.

Yes! You can't catch your mistakes if you don't know how. 👍

Biggest part of management is remembering to take a sec and acknowledge that ur team is your biggest asset.

I love doing things twice. 😂 that’s my favorite

I think it's pretty cool how you drop what was bothering you once you got it off your chest about the job. Not a lot of people will do that.👏🤜

Hope you get well - your whole crew will call in sick tomorrow lol

Love the channel bro, appreciate your guys & you Ryan!! Thank you for bringing concrete into my life!! Hooah, Climb to Glory!!

I know that making these videos are alot of work, But think I speak on behalf of all your subscribers that we Love your Videos, so PLEASE DONT STOP. ! We Love you Ry-man !

Ryan, maybe make a checklist with the most basic instructions and make whomever verifies it sign there name next to it. Tell them you expect every single task to be signed. This could work well especially if you aren't there. You got some great guys but they need a little extra help focusing sometimes.

Ya know for how well he treats his guys it a slap in the face to be careless and miss such simple things and disagree with him like Darrel does , he’s a great boss and those guys don’t realize how good they have it not a lot of bosses like Ryan man

Crazy to think ive watched your channel grow to over 200k subscribers. I remember when you had 10k and i was still watching your videos because of the content. Great work

I enjoy seeing your generosity and giving spirit in action! It demonstrates to others how God intended us to be. Please keep inspiring your viewers by including those clips. Who cares how the naysayers respond.

Handled perfectly all around! Did right by your customer, gave the guys the reaming they deserved and moved along with your day. I run construction crews and this type of management is what I call perfect.

Great work ryan keep it up. We want daily vids we know you can handle it. Thx

I respect that you didn't show the scolding you kept it professional and private and afterwards moved on they should be thankful and lucky to work for a great person like you😎

Those older guys you have are awesome… they are just fantastic at their finishing… they let the younger guys go over it and then they make it perfect… really fantastic quality finish!

Thank you

Hey man just wanted to let you know I work 12 hr graveyard and you help me stay awake while I sit here and watch over my shift keep up the positivity

Thanks for watching. 👍💪

It's nice to see an example of a great man and a great boss.

Imagine your neighbor is having concrete work done and you look out your window to see Daryl laying in your yard. Hilarious.

Sometimes I feel like I tell my guys the same stuff over and over👍🏻👍🏻

I love watching your videos before work it’s a great start to the day!

THIS is a Co. I would work for in a second. Good crew, great boss, nice equipment.

I actually found your channel by accident, but Ryan I just gotta say that was a big league professional move right there. I know it upset ya man but there is something to be said for a person who is respectful too their customer and doesn't just say oh well. Especially being sick on top of it all keep up the great work look forward to your videos

Just so u know, some of the guys here go into withdrawals if u don’t have a new video. That’s my way of saying, ur doin a great job with the videos. By the way we like the drone. We laid a couple yards in our time so it’s fun watchin u guys. Take care.

It's a shame that some people still take advantage of the situation when the boss isn't there. That's when u know who's slowing the business down because they don't care. A big problem with everyone else besides Darrell Sr. could be that their seeing Darrell Sr. doing nothing while the rest of them are doing all of the work. Darrell's Sr. laziness will effect the entire team. Just something u should look into.

@Scooby Doo84 💀☠️

Do you think he doesn't know this? No need to tell people how to run there OWN busses. When you have a business you can do whatever you want.

Hey Ryan I'm a big fan man. Thanks for your content. One question how come you don't start a 2nd crew and have Marcel run it or bugs

How does Eric do work on the side and figure stuff out on his own ?

Red shorts ,brown socks ,Daryl getting ready for the old folks home I see!
