17 years ago, Dave Nolan was serving as the CEO of what is now known as Destination Cleveland. To say he was riding high would be a considerable understatement. Awarded the key to the City, his Convention Sales Team was shattering production records (without a convention center), the national media had fallen in love with the city's renaissance...and then, it all came crashing down. They weren't "rookie mistakes," Dave says. "They were veteran mistakes." He recently reached out to DMOU to share the caution signs he says he missed in hopes that others never have to go through what he did. Join Bill and Dave in this, at times, painful and yet powerful conversation.

Bill, your podcast with Dave Nolan was one of the most insightful and honest appraisal of what DMO leaders must learn to insure success and longevity in their careers. Tremendous example of lessons learned while providing insights that would be most valuable for current and future DMO leaders and their entire executive teams. Many of us that have been in that arena , dedicated our lives to the industry , can identify with Dave’s very articulate summation of dealing with the good, bad and ugly
