Matt Carnevale (Head of Community at Exit Five) believes most B2B communities fail because they’re built for leads, not people. In this episode, we talk about how to start a community from scratch, the pilot method to land your first 25 members, and why niche communities will beat broad ones.
We also dig into Exit Five’s growth loops, feedback systems, and playbooks, how to promote yourself without being spammy, and where B2B communities are headed with AI. Finally, Matt shares his take on the future of B2B marketing - and what “winning at life” really means.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
