Sports, Befriending Your Idols, and Work-Life Balance with Account Executive Rob Breck | Ep. 16

"There's only so much you can learn about a profession from reading about it or hearing about it. You just got to go out and do it."

Rob Breck is an account executive at Audacy, formerly known as CBS Radio and Entercom. He represents some of the biggest brands in sports, music, and news by executing sponsorship and marketing agreements through digital, audio, and social.

After various internships in Broadcast Journalism, Rob realized that while he wanted to work within the sports industry, he needed a better work-life balance. Rob now works in Ad Sales right down the hall from some of his favorite radio hosts of WFAN - New York Yankees Radio Network.
