The Dave Gerhardt Show (from Exit Five)

#80: Inside Exit Five - Why We Moved Off Facebook & Lessons from Building an Online Community


Listen Later

Dave takes you behind the scenes of Exit Five to talk about how the community got started, why we moved off of Facebook, why we went with Circle, lessons learned scaling Exit Five to 3,500+ paying members and more. This is a conversation with Jordan Godbey who runs Growth Community and helps experts, coaches and creators build communities on Circle and we thought this would make for a fun little "behind the scenes" episode since many listeners are involved in marketing and community building and might be interested in this topic.
