What are your professional and/or personal goals for 2019?

Java Joel, WAKS: I wanna lose 20 more pounds and add at least 2 shares to my 18-34s. Is that too much to ask???

Buster, WFLZ: To get verified on social media. No more Drive-Thru for a year.

Derrick “DC” Cole, WAEB: Professional is to grow and continue learning. I always like to challenge myself every year to do that, it’s important. Personally, my goal is to not mess up my baby I had a few weeks ago, that should be easy, right?

Brian Mack, WXXL: Professional, to win P18-34 & P25-54 however! Personal goals: financial control, no more debt or interest.

 

Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: Personally to celebrate 30 years of marriage to Patty with planned and impromptu trips every month. Professionally to attempt to disengage from the real world while on those trips.

Chuck Damico, WMMR/WBEN: Enjoy and appreciate my good fortune. Simplify. Play more.

Rob Roberts, WRQX: Don’t. Screw. It. Up.

 

 

Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia: Professional and personal goals sort of overlap for me this year: to help grow people, careers and my kids any way I can. I better come up with some better advice soon to help make this happen, but that’s the plan.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: I’m not going to know my professional goals until Nielsen figures out how many panelists we have at the end of January.
