Well I thought this was going to be super easy but what I found when I got there wasn't good. Things settled down and we got the job done anyway and it turned out good. It just took a little unnecessary work to get there. Enjoy
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.
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.
That is exactly what it is! I couldn't figure what exactly it was but upon reading this if you ever stare in the middle of the video everything sort of bends into a curve. That's the natural lens of a Go-Pro though so it can have that wide FOV.
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 👍👍👍💪💪

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.
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 RU-vid 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.

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 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.
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!🇬🇺🤙🏽
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.
He's already stated a lot of the stuff in the videos is staged for entertainment purposes. They get caught standing around and sleeping to give the audience a good laugh. That's not how they actually work.
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.
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. ???
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.
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

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 RU-vid 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.
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!
Concrete is everywhere. It's a part of all our homes, apartments, businesses and in all our lives. But have you ever stopped to appreciate the hard work that goes into it. The men and women who made that driveway, that sidewalk, that foundation and what it took for them to do that... They all have stories, lives, passions and fears. This is a look into the daily life of these dedicated contractors that make it all possible. Grab your popcorn folks, Victory has a new upload and we are here for it. Cheers!
@@AgarwaenG Jimmies have been rustled. Keep playing your video games and watching anime, I'm sure we'll need those skills and hard work the thrive as a society in the future 🙄
@@nicklebac6753 Not one to "diss" our service members in the slightest, but we haven't had a war that's really needed us to fight for our country in a long time, so tradesmen are a little more important imo.
@@nicklebac6753 hey now firstly i have nothing but the highest respect for our service men and veterans and second calling victory crew dedicated is hardly praising them. Also I'm not a dude. Thanks! Have a good one.
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!
I never realized how big that buggy is until you got that side view of it. The top down view makes it look small, but that is a big looking machine from the side.
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.
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!
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...😂
@@alvarorangel5513 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.
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.
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!
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.
Love the videos! I look forward to seeing the new projects and the relationship you and your guys have is entertainment in itself! Keep up the great work!
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.
Great channel Ryan, Too the crew, start thinking for yourself a little, by now you know what the job is and what it takes to get it done, the right way, a boss is a boss but it gets a little frustrating I would imagine to have to be a baby sitter, we have our eys on you, lol.
I had a great carpenter foreman yrs ago BILL RYAN from long island , and you sir remind me so much of him. Thanks for the great videos very enjoyable 🙏🇺🇸🙏🌍🙏
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
I use to do this for a living. We poured 200 plus houses a year ( I was the Boss at 17). But another company poured a drop down basement and garage in the winter. They pulled the heaters the next day. The grade was muddy it froze and the basement heaved and pushed the post and shoved the center of the house up 6" the garage was just as bad. The most expensive basement floor I ever did. 1800 sqft all done by hand.
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
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
I’m not a cement guy but Eric has a lot to learn, if he wants to go into business. He is very enthusiastic but he doesn’t retain the knowledge very well. He needs more time as an apprentice and you’re an excellent teacher. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸. No Snow Just Breeze!
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.
It funny to read some of the comments on eric.. I have huge respect for Eric and his initiative to trying to step up when ryan wasn't there, being able to make decisions evening if it's a good or bad one. Then learning from your mistakes. Proud of you Eric, keep up the hustle!
Eric seems like a good guy but I hope he stick with you for a good while so he can get some experience. I was in concrete 20 years I had guys just like Eric but if he stay with you he'll learn and get experience ,but for now he's nowhere close to going on his own.
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?
No leaders on the Crew. Hopefully one of the guys starts to step up and gain confidence. When the owner needs to take a break, someone needs to step up and lead for you the best they can. Otherwise, everyone's just chasing their tail and not paying attention.
Sad that you cant trust your guys to do the job right when you are not there to hold their hands !!!! How do they do side work if they cant do their full time job that well !! Grading at 5 inches isnt that hard !!
Unfortunately, when you’re the owner, there just times, all the time when you have to push through! Though I do think if bugs was there you could probably leave him in charge and know things are going to get done and done correctly.. Now let’s hope those who were responsible don’t start no-showing…..
It's funny. I don't even do concrete,never have. I'm a retired police officer and now just a truck driver but I'm addicted to your show. Keep it going. Good stuff.
Bosses that know when and how to get mad are the ones you should respect and frankly fear the most. When you legitimately make them mad you messed up good.
Where I live in Greene County Pa the concrete company we have in our town in October no one residential can get concrete only a selection of big company’s that been getting it will get it because of not being able to get the stuff to make concrete! We use those jumbo decorative to make our retaining walls we won’t be able to get they are gonna stop making those do to the shortage!! We’re a construction company do everything from putting in sewer water lines, gas lines from meter to the house, turned a pole barn into a house and left the other half as a pole barn, to framing a house from the ground up and do all the electrical wiring only thing we don’t do is hvac!! A jack of all trades even do concrete jobs that’s why I watch your Channel all the time to get pointers and tips! That’s why I like that you explain why you do things the way you do and the stuff you shouldn’t do!!
i just knew something was going to go wrong last monday i just knew it when u went home early, these guys arent smart enough they need to be told what to do they still act like kids
Most employees only do enough to keep their job. It’s human nature. They don’t really have any ties to the business so they do just enough. Maybe occasionally you’ll see them go “above and beyond”, but that’s usually conveniently done in front of the boss man.
@@joedirt3449 it’s human nature to care more about something that belongs to you or something you have a greater attachment to. Your own business, your family, your friends. See what I mean now?
Most of the time you show a boss you a good hard worker they add more work to you while the slobs get the promotions. Being too good at job is not always good cause they can’t afford to loose you. That’s why I do what I’m ask and do it efficiently. I don’t try to draw awws or wows just go do my job right and head home
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!
Is Eric trying to start his own company? If so, soak up all the knowledge you can from Ryan for few years. And, leave on good terms. You never know when you'll need his expertise or help.
But no masks for him when they were "required" an I know none of them got the shot. I love this channel but long COVID is going to take years off this guy's life
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😎
Hey brother I love the channel! I was hoping I could convince you to throw out some stickers in your merch store. I'd love to add a "VICTORY STYLE!" to my toolbox! Much love and God bless!
My folks are getting their driveway done as I’m typing this. 2 guys…so far second day and it’s not ripped up. Wish I could call the best in the business to show em how it’s done! Stay blessed man
hey why dont you get bugs in to help wrangle the guys? he seams the next best qualified and keeps him off his injury but feed the hunger for work! get well soon Ryan
@@houseofwonders1 And you don't think that in itself is a bit of an issue? Covid, flue, a cold, if you are sick you would not be engaged in close contact with elders, your work mates, clients etc. That is rather selfish. Other people do not need your germs. If you know you got a transmissible illness,......you keep distance. That is common sense, that is having manners. Love Ryan, just disagree with how he deals with this.
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.
