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.
