Playlist: Thank You

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.

I just returned from a week in Chicago with family, old friend and some ridiculously cold weather. I also had my 10-Year High School Reunion. It was a great trip overall, and it helped to remind me of all that I am grateful for. The time off work also left me with some recharged batteries, ready to push through to the end of the year and beyond. So, I just want to take this time to say thank you. For reading, listening and everything else y’all do that make me want to keep writing. Let this playlist remind you of why you keep on the grind. That’s what I kicked if off with Sly & the Family Stone – “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” and let Spotify Radio do the rest.

- “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” – Sly & the Family Stone

- “Hold On! I’m Comin’” – Sam & Dave
