The Dave Gerhardt Podcast

My friend / former boss / CEO Ben Jabbawy (@jabbawy) joins me for a quick conversation about selling his company after 10+ years and eight prior acquisition offers, what he's going to do now, become a creator, starting a podcast, building a newsletter, investing, how he rediscovered a fitness habit after a decade, the value of finding a coach, and more.

Ben founded and led Privy as CEO from idea through scale and 9-figure exit to Attentive. Privy is a leading Shopify focused email and SMS marketing platform, used by over 100,000 stores in 180 countries and has driven over $10B in sales. Ben is currently writing a newsletter and documenting learnings from his 10+ year journey as founder and CEO @ Privy at zerotoexit.co.

What is The Dave Gerhardt Podcast?

I'm a marketing exec. turned creator. I left my 9-5 to work full-time for myself as a solopreneur. Today I spent my time doing marketing consulting and building a B2B media company called Exit Five. This is my podcast. We'll see where it goes.
