I've been in B2B marketing for a decade working in marketing leadership roles at Drift and Privy. Today I'm spending my time building a community of B2B marketing pros to give you the resources outside of work I didn't have available to me earlier in my career. ###### **The story behind the name Exit Five** Living in Boston my wife and I would always escape to her parents house in the woods in Vermont and I grew to love it and Vermont became a place of inspiration for me during my career. I would be stuck on work things all week, but in Vermont going for walks, sauna, golf, hiking, being off the grid, that is the place I would find clarity and get inspiration. So much so that my Mother In Law will joke "what new ideas are you going to come up with this weekend?" To get to their house you get off at Exit Five. So that's where it comes from. And my hope is that Exit Five in the digital form can be that type of place where B2B marketers can get unstuck and inspired with new ideas. ## Join Exit Five Today $300 annually | $30 monthly | 7 day free trial ![check-1](https://media.exitfive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/check-1.png?width=30&name=check-1.png) Actionable advice from real B2B marketing pros. ![check-1](https://media.exitfive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/check-1.png?width=30&name=check-1.png) Constructive feedback on your campaigns and copy ![check-1](https://media.exitfive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/check-1.png?width=30&name=check-1.png) Access to thousands of archived discussions from 2+ years of community history. **Explore and engage with the community for 7 days and get your money back if it's not for you!** [Join Exit Five Now](https://community.exitfive.com/checkout/exit-five-membership) ![Frame 224 (1)](https://media.exitfive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20224%20(1).png?width=594&height=407&name=Frame%20224%20(1).png) [![Exit Five](https://media.exitfive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/webp/Logo%20-%20Black%20Yellow.webp?width=275&height=37&name=Logo%20-%20Black%20Yellow.webp)](https://media.exitfive.com) - [B2B Accelerator](https://dgmg.davegerhardt.com/offers/URoH6gqB/checkout) - [About](https://media.exitfive.com/about) - [Jobs](https://jobs.exitfive.com/) - [Podcast](https://media.exitfive.com/podcast-old) - [Contact](mailto:hi@exitfive.com) - [Login](https://media.exitfive.com/login) - [Cancel Account](https://media.exitfive.com/cancel) ©2026 Exit Five.
