Given the average level of morale and motivation of Groupon's employees right now, I'm not sure why I would want to follow Mason's advice...

Any latest news on their current average morale? I mean, many people were balking at groupon as much as two years ago... How are people still wanting to work there?

This is awesome. I don't care if the actual music sounds terrible, but the fact that there's a dude out there with millions of dollars and what he wants to do is record a educational business CD makes me happy. This is the kind of eccentricity I think we should be lauding.

Okay, so what's your favorite track? "Risin' Above the Pack" and K.I.S.S stand out for me so far. (I love this kind of eccentricity.)

Sorry, I fat-fingered my upvote from my phone and accidentally downvoted you. :(

I completely agree. And to all the people making fun of him: when's the last time you've put yourself out there and sang in front of other people? There, hate the music if you like, but at least he's doing what he wants to do.

He went to school for music, too.

" I've probably listened to the album over a dozen times now, and with each spin I feel like I learn something." That's sort of an awkward statement to make as the creator.

That's Andrew Mason's shtick. There is similar stuff in pretty much any other statement/article he writes.
