#307 Building Community | In this episode Dave joined <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aliorlandowert/">Ali Orlando Wert</a> (Director of Content Marketing & Brand at Databox) on their podcast called Move the Needle. She did an interview with Dave focused on community building. They cover how Exit Five grew 80 percent by operating more like a startup than a Slack group. Dave gets into the truth of building community, why most companies should not launch one, how to measure brand without losing your mind, and why AI has everyone simultaneously energized and spiraling.
