So being a long hauler on the Power Tour means making a lot of new friends along the way. Most of them are folks that have similar interests – friends you’ve never met before. In the old days, before email, internet, and social media we’d need to write letters or make long distance phone calls. Well, all that has changed drastically over the past few years.
When you’re travelling to 7 cities in 7 days, or ‘after plandemic’ 5 cities in 5 days, it makes it more difficult to remember everyone you talk to. So, introducing the click generation -- instead of filling out contest forms and spending a lot of time writing down names and addresses, we just click the link or scan the QR code. Being a little old school, there’s a transition to doing things this way, but it’s here – like it or not.
So, this year, I decided to try to group a few and make a list of the folks who document their Power Tour experiences. Starting with YouTube, I’ve compiled a short list. I’m sure that they don’t mind me sharing this with y’all. No specific order, so watch what you like (skip ads and all):
