Steve Andrews was diagnosed with Asperger’s at the age of 33. Gaining a new understanding and perspective on his life led him to create Platinum Bay, a company that allows individuals on the Autism spectrum to gain employment by learning to code. Platinum Bay allows its workers to work remotely, in an environment that is comfortable to them, as well as flexible hours and various other accommodations to set employees and companies up for success.
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.
