What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

Matt Johnson, WPLW: I always ask myself. Why am I doing this? Then I adjust as needed.

 

Drew Heyman, WHYI: I don’t really sleep a lot. Maybe 5 hours, I go from the clubs to the dealerships.

Rich Davis, KDWB: I’m extraordinarily proud of the relationship that Mandi and I have had over all of these years, especially being in this business and moving around a lot with the kids. I’m super-lucky to have her and she’s always been a cheerleader for me, and always been a great support system for me and the kids wherever we lived. I’m very lucky because I feel I have a relationship that’s different than a lot of people.

Valentine, WBHT: I absolutely LOVE the heat and humidity days. I heat differently than most. I love the hot, hot tropical temps. I’m going to miss summer.

Jana Sutter, WXXL: I’d rather be outside and get dirty and sweaty than be inside laying on the couch. I’m not very good at laying on the couch!

Adam Rivers, WKCI / WKSS: The way I look at music.

Bob Patrick, WXLK: I brush my teeth in the shower. Started that as a young kid.

Toby Knapp, WASH: I work a break, a problem, an issue, a challenge, parenting, life… and now, even relationships… backwards. I start something with an idea of how it ideally should end. From then, I work backward to find where we are in the, um, process. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but, when you apply humanity to a ‘best practice’ and flip it 360 degrees, you’ll figure it out as you find out how to do “it.” Now, you’ve got 60 seconds, the light is flashing. Make that magic happen and don’t forget to turn on your mic.

Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: I’m not sure it’s that different but I do try to listen to both sides of an argument before forming an opinion. In today’s divided America it’s important to remember that’s there’s a reason people feel the way they do and it’s important to understand them before you form your own opinion, then I seek to treat everyone with kindness. One thing I do differently is having a big lunch, I stopped eating dinner which has helped me get down to my 90’s weight.

Mike O’Donnell, WKRZ: My kids laugh at me when I put grape jam on my grilled cheese sandwiches. Business related, I’ve been able to have a very successful career not having to jump to many companies and stations around the country. I’ve spent my entire 35-year career in three places, all in the Northeast. I know many people who have gone to 6-7 stations all over the country.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: I don’t let my clocks dictate how much product I need. I let the amount of product dictate which clock I use.

Jeremy Rice, WXXL: I find the most distant parking spot in the lot so I can park my car away from people and I enjoy the walk. I’m definitely a different Cat in general, well aware of that and take pride in it!

Buster Satterfield, WIOQ: I and we as a station are in the more than most others.

Brian Mack, iHeartMedia: Lean into every other metric vs. Nielsen.
