37 The Power Of Positivity and Tenacity with “Chopped” TV Show Creator Dave Noll
“Even after I had shows on VH1 or Nickelodeon or Comedy Central it was still like, I’m a kid from Jersey. I’m a dad who lives in the suburbs. I’m never going to have a Fox show, but you have to believe the impossible is possible.” – Dave Noll
How do we continue to grow and move forward in 2021 with positivity and tenacity?
These are characteristics that I work on cultivating every day. Things aren’t easy right now, so we need to consciously create what we want in our lives. And, as we all know as “Onlys,” creating what’s next takes time and energy. That’s why I’m so excited to have Dave Noll on today’s episode. An expert at embodying positivity, tenacity, and creativity, Dave has created more than 50 television series including the Chopped franchise, the game shows America Says, Punchline, Insanity, and Face The Truth, and the new podcast game Factorious. Dave and his partner Cleve Keller joined together exclusively in 2007. With 3,300 episodes under their belts, they have become one of the most successful format development teams in the world.
Dave believes that in order to have these hits, you have to pitch a lot and not be afraid of rejection. Last year alone, he and his partner created 70 plus shows, pitched in over 100 meetings, wrote more than 40 show decks, and loved every minute of it. So how does he keep going and do it with joy?
