The Noble Studios Philosophy: Let’s Be Better Every Day

At the heart of Noble Studios lies a powerful philosophy: “Let’s Be Better Every Day.” This mantra isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a deeply ingrained ethos that shapes every aspect of Noble’s culture and operations. 

To understand the full impact of this philosophy, we need to journey back to its roots long before Noble Studios came into existence.

The Seeds of a Philosophy

Every great philosophy has its roots in personal experience, and ours began with our co-founders’ shared passion for growth and learning. Both Season and Jarrod Lopiccolo grew up wanting to create something bigger than themselves and make a meaningful impact on the world.

Season’s heart for servant leadership shaped her early path. With dreams of joining the military, she sought ways to serve others while constantly growing herself. Her journey led her to Chile, where she embraced a new culture and language, discovering that true growth comes from immersing yourself in experiences that challenge your perspective and open your heart to new possibilities.

Jarrod found his own path to growth through similar cultural immersion. Living in Italy without speaking the language, he discovered one of life’s most valuable lessons: the power of listening. Through this experience, he learned that genuine connections come from being curious about others and truly hearing their stories rather than waiting to share your own.

“When you listen, that’s the fastest you can make a friend,” Jarrod often shares when reflecting on this transformative time. This simple truth would become fundamental to how we build relationships at Noble Studios.

These personal journeys of growth and discovery would eventually intertwine to create something special. As Season and Jarrod founded Noble Studios together, their shared commitment to continuous learning and meaningful connection would become the heartbeat of our company culture.

From Personal Growth to Business Philosophy

The digital landscape of the early 2000s moved at breakneck speed. As Noble Studios grew in an era when Flash websites dominated the web, Season and Jarrod recognized that technical skills had a short shelf life. What worked brilliantly one year often became obsolete the next.

“What we knew one year, we couldn’t use the next year. It would just be more of a foundation to build off of,” Season explains. “That’s why we recognized adaptation was critical and began operating on a 30% learning curve. We needed to acquire that much new knowledge each year to stay ahead.”

With a growing team and expanding client roster, Noble Studios faced an accelerating pace of change. Having a commitment to continuous learning evolved into something more meaningful: success. 

Yet as the company flourished, Season and Jarrod recognized that their greatest achievements came when everyone – team members, clients and partners – grew together. They wanted to create more than just success – they wanted to build a culture of shared growth. 

This vision crystallized into a simple yet powerful philosophy: “Let’s Be Better Every Day.”

Putting Philosophy into Practice

Living out the “Let’s Be Better Every Day” philosophy means creating opportunities for growth in everything we do. We believe every interaction holds the potential for learning, innovation and meaningful connection. This commitment to collective improvement takes shape in several key ways:

• Hiring Strategy: Noble Studios builds teams where diverse talents complement each other. By bringing together people with different strengths and expertise, the company creates an environment where everyone learns from one another.
• Continuous Learning: Team members are encouraged to constantly seek new knowledge and skills. This isn’t limited to formal training; it includes learning from peers, clients, partners and even competitors.
• Embracing Challenges: Obstacles are viewed as opportunities for problem-solving and innovation instead of roadblocks. When progress slows, the focus is on identifying and removing barriers rather than assigning blame.
• Positive Transitions: When team members move on to new opportunities, it’s seen through the lens of mutual growth. The question asked is not “How will this affect us?” but rather, “Are we both better for having worked together?”
• Daily Commitment: The “every day” part of the philosophy is taken literally. It’s a daily promise to seek improvement, no matter how small.
• Open Invitation: The “Let’s” in our philosophy extends beyond our walls. It invites team members, clients, partners, stakeholders, friends and even competitors to join our journey of continuous improvement. This shared commitment creates an environment where everyone can contribute to and benefit from collective growth.

The Impact on Company Culture

This philosophy has profoundly shaped Noble Studios’ culture. It’s created an environment where curiosity is prized, vulnerability is seen as a strength, and every team member—from the newest hire to the CEO—is expected to contribute to the collective growth of the company.

The “Let’s Be Better Every Day” mindset extends beyond professional development. It encourages personal growth, fosters empathy and promotes the idea that wisdom can come from unexpected sources. Here’s how we bring this purpose to life:

• Noble Pulse Survey: We actively seek feedback through weekly team member surveys to evolve our culture and support systems. This constant dialogue ensures we’re growing in the right direction and addressing team needs in real-time.
• Recognition Programs: Through our Employee of the Month/Year awards and the Noble Piece Prize, we celebrate team members who push boundaries and raise standards. These programs don’t just recognize achievement – they inspire everyone to strive for excellence and innovation.
• Total Wellness Support: By covering 100% of medical premiums for employees and families while providing wellness education and gym reimbursements, we invest in our team’s complete well-being. This comprehensive approach ensures everyone has the support they need to bring their best selves to work.
• International Exchange Program: Our team members gain fresh perspectives through immersive experiences between our US and UK offices. This cultural exchange not only broadens professional horizons but also deepens our ability to create meaningful connections across borders.
• Noble Deeds: Through our Noble Deeds program, we’ve provided over $1.4 million in pro bono services to non-profits since 2013, earning recognition from Reno’s Mayor, who proclaimed April 10th as Noble Deeds Day. This initiative demonstrates how being better extends beyond our walls to lift up our entire community.
