Coming in 2027

“Hunter Marks The Spot” will be my signature vlog series. It combines several things naturally: travel, geography, adventure, storytelling, random acts of kindness, and my personal brand. I travel across the United States and other countries, visiting unique regions and finding one person, organization, community, or business to help in each place I go. I’m not simply handing someone money. I’m finding a story. “Who deserves a little kindness here?”

The mascot of my series will be “Spot”: The Kindness Gator. The acronym for my episode structure is GATOR as well: The geography, the adventure, the trial-and-error, the observations, the random act of kindness.

THE GEOGRAPHY

“Before this episode, I've already visited a number of places in a number of states. Today, I'm marking another spot.”

THE ADVENTURE

“I'm going to spend the next 24 hours finding someone in (this state) who deserves a little kindness.”

• Driving

• Airports

• Highways

• Landscapes

• Restaurants

• Interesting landmarks

• State signs

• Local attractions

• Funny things that happen

I don't need the entire episode to be about giving.

The journey is part of the story.

THE TRIAL-AND-ERROR

Instead of simply walking around looking for a random person, I can use several methods.

Method A — Completely random

I encounter someone naturally.

Method B — Ask locals

“Who's someone around here who really deserves a surprise?”

This could create a chain:

Person → recommendation → another person → eventual recipient

Method C — Viewer nominations

My audience submits people.

Method D — Local organizations

I contact nonprofits, schools, community organizations, etc.

THE OBSERVATIONS

Suppose I’m in a random state. I met a small-town restaurant worker who has been working two jobs while caring for family.

Rather than: “Here's $500!” I spend time learning about them.

Then I figure out what would actually help.

THE RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS

Maybe:

• Pay their grocery bill

• Buy them a hotel room for a night

• Give them a gift card

• Pay for a car repair

• Buy something from their business

• Take them out to dinner

• Give them tickets to an event

• Help their community project

The reward should fit the person, which makes every episode different.

Long-form videos / 10–20 minutes: “I Spent 24 Hours Doing Kindness in (a state)”

Shorts / 30–60 seconds: “I Bought This Stranger's Lunch”

Travel vlogs: “Driving Across (a state) Looking for Someone to Help”

Emotional stories: “The Kindest Teacher in America”

Challenges: “Can $20 Change Someone's Day?”

Community episodes: “I Asked a Small Town Who Needed Help”

I'd make a rule:

Kindness isn't measured by dollars.

One episode might involve $500.

Another might cost $5.

Another might cost $0.

For example:

“I spent the day volunteering at an animal shelter.”

That's still an act of kindness.

I could even have categories:

Type Example

Financial Pay someone's bill

Food Buy someone lunch

Business Support a local business

Service Help someone with a task

Gift Give something meaningful

Volunteer Help an organization

Emotional Listen to someone's story

Community Improve a public space

This prevents my channel from becoming a competition over who can give away the most money.

HUNTER MARKS THE SPOT

The location itself is part of every episode. At the end, I could say: “This is where kindness happened.” Then put a marker on the map.

📍 MARKED!

I could even have a physical map where I place a pin for every act. That creates a very satisfying visual progression.

CONCLUSION

This could eventually become a community rather than just a channel.

Ask viewers: “Do you know someone who deserves a kind surprise?” They submit stories. I pick one.

Then:

“This week's story came from one of my viewers in (a state).”

I travel there and surprise the person.

Now my viewers aren't just watching. They're helping me decide where to go and who to help.

I'd avoid making the channel: “Look how generous I am.”

Instead make it: “Look at how amazing people are.”

I am essentially the guide/narrator who discovers interesting people, changing the emotional tone. The hero of each episode isn't necessarily me. It's the person I found.
