Game of Thrones returned last night. I celebrated that fact by marathoning all of season three during the day on Sunday, while building Ikea furniture for my new apartment. The the dish set up and our living room all put together, I was ready to go to war. Well, at least watch the characters on my TV battle it out. In business and in life, we fight our own wars. It could be in the board room or inside our own minds. Here’s a war song infused playlist to prepare you for the battles you’ll face this week at work.

  • “War” – Edwin Starr
  • “Bulls on Parade” – Rage Against The Machine
  • “War Pigs/Luke’s Wall” – Black Sabbath
  • “Fortunate Son” – Creedence Clearwater Revival
  • “Sunday Bloody Sunday” – U2
  • “For What It’s Worth” – Buffalo Springfield
  • “One” – Metallica
  • “Machine Gun” – Jimi Hendrix
  • “Gimme Shelter” – The Rolling Stones
  • “Civil War” – Guns N’ Roses

by 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.
