Summary

In Episode 101: Benjamin Dichter | Freedom Convoy Organizer, Tony has a conversation with Benjamin Dichter, one of the Canadian Freedom Convoy organizers. This may be one of the most important interviews we've had on Hammer Lane Legends, as it is larger than just the trucking industry. In this interview, Benjamin shares with us how and why the Freedom Convoy came about, and the impact of the Convoy to date. There was a lot to talk about as the entire situation has been developing rapidly, and has spurred on many other nations to partake in a similar form of protest. One thing is for certain through all of this - the world has learned of the impact of truckers and their importance to us all.
