Introducing the Heart of Business

Andy Shore Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.

Hey everybody! Welcome to the Heart of Business. It’s the business podcast that won’t make you flatline, where we discuss what pumps life into your company. Each episode, we’ll sit down with the people and businesses that intrigue us and find out what makes them tick.

For our first episode, we started close to home. Jen Perez and I sat down with Benchmark’s lead designer and his wife, TJ & Lindsey Taylor, to talk about the new adventure they just embarked on. You see, the two of them decided to leave their comfortable lives in sunny Southern California behind to go help their friends out at the Rockside Ranch. Find out how they came to the decision, how their lives have changed since the move and their advice for others looking to pursue their passions.

In honor of our first episode, we’re also holding a giveaway. Subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and you can win one of eight $25 iTunes gift cards. Good luck!

And one more picture just for fun…
