Jamaica is beautiful will always be my home but I cannot retire until they clean up the crime. The last straw was when the killed my nephew in Jan 2021 Rip Sheavon
@@marciabuchanan-blair776 Sorry for your loss. My adopted brother was killed in Jamaica as well, leaving behind 3 children without a father. My oldest brother died in 1986 here in America and I am still living in America. People are killed EVERYDAY ALL over the world. I will be going home when I retire because I won’t allow NONE Jamaicans to own EVERY inch of my country while I hide in theres.
It can happen only if we get rid of the government who are selling out everything there from Airport, electricity company, ports etc. Within the next two years the only thing will be there are the people’s home will be sinking from digging up the land. The government owes so much to the Chinese it’s only a matter of time before they get rid of everyone and take over.
YEEEEEEES:PLEASE LORD JESUS: RAISED UP MORE OF THESE RIGHT PEOPLE TO HELP US IN JAMAICA 🇯🇲 TO GET WHERE YOU FATHER GOD WANT 🙏 🙌 WE PLACE THE PLANS FOR OUR NATION BACK INTO YOUR POWERFUL HANDS ✋ IN JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH NAME WE PRAY 🙏 AMEN AMEN 🙏 ❤ 🙌 THANK YOU JESUS. SO LET IT BE
@@majorieokay3756 Jamaican aboard is awakening the hide truth is coming out. Jamaican need to Unity. Jamaican comes from strong royal bloodline do the research. Jamaican will rise. TMH will guide the way there's alot of education needs to be done to get the people out of the mental state of colonization but they are getting there.✊🏾✊🏾❤❤ UBUNTU, UBUNTU my sister. ONE LOVE
If majority of the Jamaican population were like this gentleman, Jamaica would be paradise. We need a population re education on the Island from TOP to BOTTOM!
Even if there was a million people like this man, Jamaica would not be better. The only person can stop the crime and the selling out of Jamaica is the prime minister. He can stop the crime by introduce a crime plan and stop bringing the guns into Jamaica. The people don’t bring the guns . He has been introducing covid plan for the past year .He even went house to house , but not a word about the crime. The electric company sold last year, the ports , the airports and more. This gentleman can’t stop him from selling out everything.
Even though I have grown up in Canada, my heart is in JA. I appreciate all that Canada has given me but the idea of the JA government giving foreigners so much power in our country is very disturbing to me. How could that change? Do we need to help like minded youths to rise up into positions of power and influence? Yes, I think that's part of the solution. I have a cousin, trained as a Physiotherapist in JA but is leaving for the states so she can earn decent money. She's struggling out there in this field and that's so sad. Here in Canada, we invest in paying healthcare workers what they are worth. The mindset needs to be to educate and bring in investors who don't want to own JA but contribute to its ability to thrive!
This gentleman really cares about Jamaica and Jamaicans. His vision for providing affordable homes for young people and low income families is the best thing I have heard coming out of Jamaica, and it takes someone who is not a politician to realise the vision. Excellent work Mr Daniel. Mr father's name was Daniel, and his motto was, you cant live for yourself alone. You are a Jamaicaaican hero.
These are the things Jamaican should be watching and highlighting on their platforms, it will teach these young generation's values and how they can accomplish anything in life once you put your mind to it. Great content Throp.
Great interview throp...mr Daniel is truly the essence of being a jamaican I think he's doing a great job of promoting Negril as a great business and retire destination...it boggles my mind to hear that Negril doesn't have a high school this town/city is a major contributor to our economy and I think the same focus on developing Kingston and mantego bay should also be put on Negril if you talk to ten tourists seven out of the ten will tell you they have bin to Negril so I think the government should put an enormous focus on developing the entire infrastructure of Negril this is a no brainer...great interview throp...love it!!
I pray your story will motivate Jamaicans at home and abroad to pour back into Jamaica. You and your family are a blessing to Negril - Jamaica Land We Love.
A man who is so passionate proactive and has a lot of visions for Jamaica ! He wear the love and the welfare of Jamaica on his sleeves! great interview Thorp 🤔
Wow! I remember following the fight over peat mining in Negril. I was a teenager in St Catherine, but followed this with great interest. Glad to hear from the family that helped to defeat that idea.
I think we the viewers right here and now are visionaries than you know, come-on lets put it all in action and do something, however great or small, after watching this podcast/interview.
As I read the comments on this video I say to myself I'm thinking the same thing, this man is super smart. I wish I knew him. For real. What knowledge. May God bless this man.
Keep up the good work brother. My wife and will stopping by this upcoming summer. Keep the positive vibes flowing. Showing Jamaicans in this light has been a blessing.
Wonderful interview 👏, thank you. I could listen for hours to this gentleman talk about Negril for hours on end. He has a passion for Negril and i look forward to what he continues to do.
Throp this was super valuable and I could listen to your guess speak for days,so much knowledge and his appreciation for the environment and how to grow the community sustainable
Great interview this gentleman is a motivator ,quiete inspiring he speak in simple words that anyone listenening is able to understand what he explaining especially on the topic about the environment,he is a great role model ...much respect to the elders 💯🇯🇲❤❤👍🏾
Can I ask why this very intelligent, well-spoken, caring businessman isn't a member of parliament? This short interview tells me and other listeners that he cares deeply not only for his businesses but for the environment and the world he's living in. Mr. Grizzler, I had the privilege of spending time at your facility years ago, and it was amazing and well kept. Thanks your for being a voice within Jamaica. 💝
Because those in politics are about power and greed...this man is about humanity. Humanity doesn't exist in politics...it should, but that's not how you get money and power.
Kudos to Mr Grizzle for speaking his mind always..even when it contradicts the politics of the day. I want to echo Mr Grizzle’s statement that despite the crime, violence and murders in Jamaica, my observation is mostly, there are reasons and these acts are not random in nature. People visiting Jamaica with good intentions will be rewarded in kind. I believe the instant karma or vibe associated with Negril, Jamaica will protect you if your intentions are pure and honourable. People who step and associate with the dark side unfortunately find very quickly bad results.
Great guest and conversation! I have always loved Negril. During my last trip in Nov 2021, I became really interested in investing there. I'm glad to learn about the chamber.
Superb interview Throp👍🏾Love the way how Mr Daniel tells his very interesting story..We need more people like him who are proud of this beautiful island 🏝 Jamaica 🇯🇲..May God continue to bless him 🙏🏾..He is very influential..Another Epic interview Throp 👍🏾👌🏾🆙️🆙️🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤
I enjoyed this interview and was tuned in throughout the whole video. The question about crime was a very important one, expats or returning residents are easily identified by criminals and can become a target in the wrong area. I personally believe the current crime fighting system is in need of serious reform. However, while crime may be a concern, it's extremely important that we are not deterred and invest in Jamaica because we play a significant role in its progress. Thanks for highlighting ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. Keep up the good work!
This gentleman is a visionary. He demonstrates an understanding and knowledge of the construct and framework needed to further develop Negril and Jamaica as a whole. The Chamber, developers, and politicians need to see this episodeThrope, for further advisement. Again excellent interview.
Looks like an amazing place to be. Such a beautiful thing when couples work as a team and are both committed to their goals. Congrats to Mr. Grizzle and his amazing group of family and friends. Excellent video and interview Throp. Many thanks❤💛💚
The island needs a leader like his. All the ones there who have been around forever and are only enriching themselves should be ashamed. But I guess that tree died a long time ago.
Aww Mr. Daniel! This is my secret hideaway that I go to every year for my birthday! Recently came back. Owner and staff are sweet and helpful and the food is exceptional always! New subbie here this came up on my timeline. Bless up King. 🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲
Charela Inn wow foundation and Negril history. Mr.Grizzle you are a boss. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do just like Throp and his family for providing employment in that area and promoting the beauty of Jamaica. Jamaica is beautiful and your contribution only help to enhance that. Thank you both.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview 👏🏽. Mr. Grizzle is a visionary with a heart for the people. I hope he along with the chamber of commerce will be able to provide affordable housing solutions to bring in more people to help boost the economy. One of my favorite interviews Throp, keep them coming.
The best of us never seem to enter politics. The crooks and the self serving ones always seem to find a way to get in and stay forever. Then to add insult to injury they bring their families to finish us off. I am really sad to have to say this but I believe that it is true.
Very enlightening interview. Love the history and love for preservation of the environment as well as the little lesson in being prepared when opportunity presents itself
Hey Thop, great interview.. your guest is a man with vision. I think a lot of his passion stems from living and traveling abroad which has broadened his perspective of how developed and advanced Jamaica can be.
Fantastic interview. I like Jamaican owned resorts, love the culture. Have stayed at many all inclusives on the Island and they often lack the Jamaican flair. Night after night of Michael Jackson impersonators on stage and I say, where's the reggae? You should both be guests on the "Irie Hour", a live show hosted by the Jamaica Tourist Board in Canada and showcase your beautiful resorts. Visitors want culture and Jamaican hospitality.
...what a small world! This video popped up randomly. I visited Travellers in Oct 2013 and had the greatest time. Either you (or your brother maybe?) showed me and another young lady around town and were extremely hospitable. Although I got the worst sunburn in life, I still ate good and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Hope you all are doing well.
Such a valuable head of wisdom, harness and supplement that with some innovation and the future benefits will be enormous. We have are sitting on so much untapped value in Jamaica, I hope we don't continue to sit and contemplate while we continue to lose most of it to foreigners. Very good interview, great channel, please keep up the good work !!!
Mr. Wellington speaking about real old fashioned Jamaicans culture..Where Jamaicans looks out for Jamaicans interest.. This will prevent gangsterism ..Out of many one People..
THOROUGHLY enjoyed this interview. A true visionary with SOUND and realistic solutions to the issues in Jamaica. Would love to sit and meet with this extraordinary man! Very Empowering
He’s right on the button, oh man. Motivating MOTIVATIONS. I’m rearing (beam me up Scottie), to finish my JA project and get involved with some stainable projects. 🇬🇧 born, however ❤️ absolutely for 🇯🇲.
Jamaica needs more people like you and your wife ❤❤ positive mindset. ❤❤ In tune with nature is fundamental. ❤❤❤❤ You have inspired me to do great things. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ You remind me of Oliver Samuel ❤ Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Soo good to see you doing one of the things you do best. Another great guest and even greater becuz he's from Hanover. Throp you look great, that Negril air is goooood. See you on the next.
This was a great show. I see so many possibilities for myself as a career coach if I was to move to Negril especially if that high school is built. My biggest fear is the crime in Jamaica overall that I keep hearing about from those still living there or those who have recently left. Having left at 7 yr old to Canada and not visiting as often as I would have liked to, Jamaica seems a bit foreign yo me. But now, there is a desire to reconnect and relearn my roots. I’m encouraged to hear about short term rentals…. Definitely good for thought about visiting. Thank you again Thop! Enjoying your channel. Cheryl
Start by going much more often, and don't limit yourself to where you're originally from, especially if it is currently a bad or just disadvantaged area. Stay in a regular hotel or bed and breakfast so that you can spend money to book yourself a driver for the week and plan to go to various open houses in parishes you saw on here that you are interested in and go take home and land tours, check out neighborhoods, talk to people who live there about what they like and what they don't like about owning a home there, how the utilities are there like water service and water pressure, electricity, phone signal, internet signal, and how they feel crime is in the community over the years. And when you find a favourite area, start visiting there exclusively and getting familiar, even start practicing to rent a car and drive between airport and that area so you get used to navigating on your own. Just gradually get yourself back into life there so that when you finally decide to buy land or house, you don't feel like a fish out of water and you know the runnings (how things really work) in the specific area you buying in! It will also make it faster for you to make an offer from overseas if you are plenty familiar with the area the home or land is located in so that you don't have to buy a plane ticket just to make the offer. Use the next few years to re-establish your Jamaican identity, starting by going to any Jamaica tax administration office and applying for your TRN.
@@MontegoBayTechTalk thanks for all this great information! Are you currently living in JA? My background has been in Career Coaching, wondering about opportunities to be self employed in this field out there but as far as buy a place or just finding the right area to live, your advise has been very beneficial, so thank you. I need to start with visiting. My sister recently got married in NY but she plans to do a full wedding out in JA in Dec. 2022. I hope at that time to visit JA and do some exploring. If you live there, would love to connect. thanks again for the great info! I have to admit most of the feedback I've already gotten has made me a bit fearful. I've heard if you are successful, people want to rob from you. I don't want to generalize because I'm sure it only speaks to a small sect of people who do this but it's still a real fear. Any thoughts or feedback on this point would be appreciated!
We decided to buy a vacation property in Jamaica after meeting a visitor from Canada in Jamaica who went back to buy a vacation property there. My hubby asked why are we not investing more there and we are Jamaicans. Thats how it started.
This is quite an extraordinary interview, I admire the intellectual conversations pertaining to the social and economic development of negril, with someone like him this community would strive in the near future...I'm curious is his wife still involved ??
We can do it if our heart is there. Great interview 👍 Jah 🙌 the first owner who takes this gentleman on board for business; and his works to develop his talent towards success 🙌
He sounds more American than English, that's funny. Throp I want to move to Jamaica so badly but the land prices are so unreasonable. Since 2004 I wanted to move and I should have moved at that time. Thanks for always bringing the best!
I am also ready to move there but the crime is worrisome. We should keep in touch, I believe we like minded folks need to bond together. I already have my home. Have some business ideas but the crime is always on my mind.
@@mitziecharleston9941 I agree with you. I am all about nature and my parents are from there. The crime does not scare me one bit because they are just people like us and the devil is everywhere, so God can protect us anywhere we live if we trust Him. We need to walk by faith and not by sight, or sight will scare us into hiding.
Thank you for this outstanding conversation in so many ways. I am now a subscriber and sharing this. Ironically, I have a friend who retired and returned to Jamaica and was looking to settle in Negril and ended up in Ochi. I will send this to her. Give thanks again.
Loving this Conversation as a first timer to the channel from Miami on New Years Day 2022. This is like a drink of community Coffee, inviting and invigorating.
This gentleman love Jamaica in spite of all the negative things that has been said no place like home land of sunshine no snow to shovel no cost to wear.he Is involve in farming that's a good idea food is the staff of life.i was in Jamaica last year the food was awesome
I really enjoyed this video as someone who loves to visit Jamaica. I’ve had the chance to meet locals, stay in various places and have a feel for the country. It reminded me a bit of my own motherland of India in a way; fresh fruit, warm weather and the kind nature of ppl. I would love to retire in JA at some point. It makes sense to invest in real estate as the country develops further. Love your vids Throp.
I enjoyed this interview very much....so it is I wondering ( giving the consideration to the number of returning residents and non- Jamaicans )moving to the area....is there, or, going to be some kind of modern MEDICAL FACILITY / HOSPITAL built??? That's a very big concern for persons I talk to all the time who are also planning on coming back!!!
So glad I found this interview. I have always stayed at Charela when in Negril but never knew the background. My wife and I love lounging under the Palm trees while under the beach there. Usually we are on Grace Beach in Turks and Caicos for vacation because of its quiet peacefulness, but when we come home to Jamaica we come to Negril after spending time at our property not far from the Blue Lagoon in Portland. So happy to know Charela is owned by a local. I have friends who own The Polkerris bed and breafast in Montego Bay so the mrs and I are always rotating between there and Charela Inn. Great interview!!!
Very useful video to see the example of a black family (= a Jamaican African & his Tanzanian African wife,) plant a biz and grow it like they grow crops on their farm (like tree crops that take years to start bearing.) I will help to spread the word by showing this video on the BlackEcon-Network Channel soon. Reparations Now for MAINLY for Black Business Development. United we stand, but divided we fall. Africa for the Africans @ home & abroad.
What a distinguished, wonderful man. We love breakfast at Charela when in Negril, and petting that beautiful German Shepard. Thanks for another great video, Throp! (We ran into you a few years ago at Charela) Steve
Bless up Throp, you should do an interview with Jamaica's third political party UIC Jamaica Mr. Patterson I hope he wins the next election cause of his Ideas to manage Jamaica.
This gentleman is the type of people we need to LEAD and RUN Jamaica. People with VISION and LOVE for their PEOPLE and COUNTRY👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I totally agree
Amen 🙏

Great response to the crime situation! Be careful of your associations, don’t be naive . We have more good people on the island than we have bad.
Indeed, there are far more extremely good and caring people living in Jamaica.
The whole island of jamaica needs to alway make decisions with the environment in mind, our leaders needs to insist that the health of environment

Night after night of Michael Jackson impersonators on stage and I say, where's the reggae? You should both be guests on the "Irie Hour", a live show hosted by the Jamaica Tourist Board in Canada and showcase your beautiful resorts. Visitors want culture and Jamaican hospitality.
The only time I sit and watch a one hour video
This gentleman is very intelligent!
He really is
OMG I am a X pat living in Negril and this is on point!
I am FULLY IN LOVE with Jamaicans & Jamaica. Sigh. xx
...what a small world! This video popped up randomly. I visited Travellers in Oct 2013 and had the greatest time. Either you (or your brother maybe?) showed me and another young lady around town and were extremely hospitable. Although I got the worst sunburn in life, I still ate good and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Hope you all are doing well.
Such a valuable head of wisdom, harness and supplement that with some innovation and the future benefits will be enormous. We have are sitting on so much untapped value in Jamaica, I hope we don't continue to sit and contemplate while we continue to lose most of it to foreigners. Very good interview, great channel, please keep up the good work !!!
It’s Not Luck, It’s God’s Blessings in our lives..
Mr. Wellington speaking about real old fashioned Jamaicans culture..Where Jamaicans looks out for Jamaicans interest.. This will prevent gangsterism ..Out of many one People..
This was really great. His wisdom and grace reminds me of my dad. Love it ❤️
THOROUGHLY enjoyed this interview. A true visionary with SOUND and realistic solutions to the issues in Jamaica. Would love to sit and meet with this extraordinary man! Very Empowering
Love this video. I love my country and I'm so proud of this channel and this interview
Awesome. Thank you so much
This is awesome and encouraging. I am so inspired.Thanks Throp for this outstanding episode.
Love that story Jamaican dream
Another epic interview from my favorite RUclips channel.
This guy is my hero
He's a pretty amazing man
@@Throp I want to be like him when I grow up
He’s right on the button, oh man. Motivating MOTIVATIONS. I’m rearing (beam me up Scottie), to finish my JA project and get involved with some stainable projects. 🇬🇧 born, however ❤️ absolutely for 🇯🇲.
Motivations indeed..One of the oldest there Charela Inn..Sundowner was the oldest...
Jamaica needs more people like you and your wife ❤❤ positive mindset. ❤❤ In tune with nature is fundamental. ❤❤❤❤
You have inspired me to do great things. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You remind me of Oliver Samuel ❤
Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Soo good to see you doing one of the things you do best. Another great guest and even greater becuz he's from Hanover. Throp you look great, that Negril air is goooood. See you on the next.
Ahaha thank you!
This was a great show. I see so many possibilities for myself as a career coach if I was to move to Negril especially if that high school is built. My biggest fear is the crime in Jamaica overall that I keep hearing about from those still living there or those who have recently left. Having left at 7 yr old to Canada and not visiting as often as I would have liked to, Jamaica seems a bit foreign yo me. But now, there is a desire to reconnect and relearn my roots. I’m encouraged to hear about short term rentals…. Definitely good for thought about visiting. Thank you again Thop! Enjoying your channel.

Hi Cheryl! Thank you for your comment. I think there is a ton of potential down here for your line of business
Start by going much more often, and don't limit yourself to where you're originally from, especially if it is currently a bad or just disadvantaged area. Stay in a regular hotel or bed and breakfast so that you can spend money to book yourself a driver for the week and plan to go to various open houses in parishes you saw on here that you are interested in and go take home and land tours, check out neighborhoods, talk to people who live there about what they like and what they don't like about owning a home there, how the utilities are there like water service and water pressure, electricity, phone signal, internet signal, and how they feel crime is in the community over the years.
And when you find a favourite area, start visiting there exclusively and getting familiar, even start practicing to rent a car and drive between airport and that area so you get used to navigating on your own. Just gradually get yourself back into life there so that when you finally decide to buy land or house, you don't feel like a fish out of water and you know the runnings (how things really work) in the specific area you buying in! It will also make it faster for you to make an offer from overseas if you are plenty familiar with the area the home or land is located in so that you don't have to buy a plane ticket just to make the offer. Use the next few years to re-establish your Jamaican identity, starting by going to any Jamaica tax administration office and applying for your TRN.
@@MontegoBayTechTalk thanks for all this great information! Are you currently living in JA? My background has been in Career Coaching, wondering about opportunities to be self employed in this field out there but as far as buy a place or just finding the right area to live, your advise has been very beneficial, so thank you. I need to start with visiting. My sister recently got married in NY but she plans to do a full wedding out in JA in Dec. 2022. I hope at that time to visit JA and do some exploring. If you live there, would love to connect. thanks again for the great info! I have to admit most of the feedback I've already gotten has made me a bit fearful. I've heard if you are successful, people want to rob from you. I don't want to generalize because I'm sure it only speaks to a small sect of people who do this but it's still a real fear. Any thoughts or feedback on this point would be appreciated!
We decided to buy a vacation property in Jamaica after meeting a visitor from Canada in Jamaica who went back to buy a vacation property there. My hubby asked why are we not investing more there and we are Jamaicans. Thats how it started.
This is absolutely a beautiful interview love Farming in Jamaica🧡💚🧡🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks so much for watching
This is quite an extraordinary interview, I admire the intellectual conversations pertaining to the social and economic development of negril, with someone like him this community would strive in the near future...I'm curious is his wife still involved ??
Thank you for watching. Sadly she has passed away
Wow Throp another power house thanks for the great work you are doing in my town
We can do it if our heart is there. Great interview 👍 Jah 🙌 the first owner who takes this gentleman on board for business; and his works to develop his talent towards success 🙌
He sounds more American than English, that's funny. Throp I want to move to Jamaica so badly but the land prices are so unreasonable. Since 2004 I wanted to move and I should have moved at that time. Thanks for always bringing the best!
I am also ready to move there but the crime is worrisome. We should keep in touch, I believe we like minded folks need to bond together. I already have my home. Have some business ideas but the crime is always on my mind.
Thank you for watching
Crime is every where you just have to be aware of your surroundings and the people in your circle and don't be too stand out
@@mitziecharleston9941 I agree with you. I am all about nature and my parents are from there. The crime does not scare me one bit because they are just people like us and the devil is everywhere, so God can protect us anywhere we live if we trust Him. We need to walk by faith and not by sight, or sight will scare us into hiding.
It's never too late but do it now. Life is changing you have to live out your purpose. Follow your passions and avoid living a life filled with regret
Thank you for this outstanding conversation in so many ways. I am now a subscriber and sharing this. Ironically, I have a friend who retired and returned to Jamaica and was looking to settle in Negril and ended up in Ochi. I will send this to her. Give thanks again.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it
Thanks for the words of wisdom shared in this interview. To God be the glory!
Thank you for watching
Beautiful restaurant. Would love to visit it one day. Great interview.
Loving this Conversation as a first timer to the channel from Miami on New Years Day 2022. This is like a drink of community Coffee, inviting and invigorating.
Another awesome video Throp! I totally enjoyed this video👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Ingrid
@@Throp👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This gentleman love Jamaica in spite of all the negative things that has been said no place like home land of sunshine no snow to shovel no cost to wear.he Is involve in farming that's a good idea food is the staff of life.i was in Jamaica last year the food was awesome
Absolutely. Thank you for watching
Very informative. Thanks for sharing. When are you going to interview your father?
Thanks for watching. He’s on my list!
It seems you have a new sound system. Sounds great. Another great vlog.
I really enjoyed this video as someone who loves to visit Jamaica. I’ve had the chance to meet locals, stay in various places and have a feel for the country. It reminded me a bit of my own motherland of India in a way; fresh fruit, warm weather and the kind nature of ppl. I would love to retire in JA at some point. It makes sense to invest in real estate as the country develops further. Love your vids Throp.
Thanks for this positive and amazing story. I hope to visit his properties one day.
I’m so happy to discover this platform. Always learning from it great job 👏
I love the wisdom pouring out of this gentleman. He has really planted a seed. Time to return home….😊
🙏🏾 love this
👏👏👏👏👏👏Well done to you, Thorp a great interview. The gentleman was superb. You are promoting Negril, Jamaica, documenting a vision and history.
Great interview calming spirit👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I enjoyed this interview very much....so it is I wondering ( giving the consideration to the number of returning residents and non- Jamaicans )moving to the area....is there, or, going to be some kind of modern MEDICAL FACILITY / HOSPITAL built???
That's a very big concern for persons I talk to all the time who are also planning on coming back!!!
There's actually a new hospital being built now in Negril
Known Mr Grizzle for years - this was refreshing - amazing interview - what opportunities exists in negril today?
So glad I found this interview. I have always stayed at Charela when in Negril but never knew the background. My wife and I love lounging under the Palm trees while under the beach there. Usually we are on Grace Beach in Turks and Caicos for vacation because of its quiet peacefulness, but when we come home to Jamaica we come to Negril after spending time at our property not far from the Blue Lagoon in Portland. So happy to know Charela is owned by a local. I have friends who own The Polkerris bed and breafast in Montego Bay so the mrs and I are always rotating between there and Charela Inn. Great interview!!!
Very useful video to see the example of a black family (= a Jamaican African & his Tanzanian African wife,) plant a biz and grow it like they grow crops on their farm (like tree crops that take years to start bearing.) I will help to spread the word by showing this video on the BlackEcon-Network Channel soon. Reparations Now for MAINLY for Black Business Development. United we stand, but divided we fall. Africa for the Africans @ home & abroad.
What a distinguished, wonderful man. We love breakfast at Charela when in Negril, and petting that beautiful German Shepard. Thanks for another great video, Throp! (We ran into you a few years ago at Charela) Steve
Amazing insight and contributions
This gentleman has contributed so much to Negril. He has so much information
Bless up Throp, you should do an interview with Jamaica's third political party UIC Jamaica Mr. Patterson I hope he wins the next election cause of his Ideas to manage Jamaica.
Thank you for the suggestion
Commenting on all my favorites 🤣… his spirit is so incredibly calming and beautiful. I rewatch this one all the time!
thank you thank you!!!!
Good discussion about Jamaica and informative. Excellent
This was very inspiring!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you for watching
