Mark Bennetts, vice president of Worldwide Sales and Partners at Qumulo
Bennetts: McDonald's! It taught me the value of a “buck”!
The VAR Guy says: A classic starter job. The pay might not be much, but at least you're surrounded by delicious McDonald's French Fries!
Bennetts: A Ferrari F430 F1
The VAR Guy says: This Italian beauty debuted in 2004 and was produced until 2009, when it was replaced by the Ferrari 458.
Bennetts: Moorea, Tahiti
The VAR Guy says: We don't know much about Tahiti, but it looks like a perfectly lovely place to spend a few days of rest and relaxation away from Silicon Valley. Just as long as they have those cool drinks inside of a hollowed-out coconut.
Bennetts: "The Energy Bus" by Jon Gordon
The VAR Guy says: Jon Gordon's "The Energy Bus" takes a unique approach to teaching readers about how to maintain a successful work/life balance by placing his main character in a narrative setting that makes this tale feel more like a work of fiction than a business book.
Bennetts: Taking my son to the Super Bowl!
The VAR Guy says: That sounds incredible! It's one thing to watch the big game on TV, but we can't imagine how awesome it would be to see all the action happening right in front of you.
Bennetts: "Island Hunters" on HGTV. It’s a reality TV show where people purchase private islands in the Caribbean.
The VAR Guy says: It's still crazy to us that some people can afford to buy their own private island, especially when The VAR Guy has a hard enough time paying his cell phone bill on time!
Bennetts: A rock star! Steven Tyler seems to have a pretty good gig.
The VAR Guy says: Steven Tyler is synonymous with the image of the wild rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but we're not so sure it's the healthiest way to live.
Bennetts: "Caddyshack." While I'm utterly terrible at golf, I do love it. This movie just struck a chord with me, as a kid.
The VAR Guy says: Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and a hilarious gopher. A must for any video library.
