Peer Forums

EO, YPO, Vistage

Deep peer connection

Excludes your spouse. Keeps you apart.

In It Together

All Three — Together

Peer forum + proven frameworks + exclusive app + AI matching — designed for couples, not individuals.

This Is For You If...

You're in EO, YPO, or a peer group — and wish your spouse could experience Forum too

You invest in coaches, masterminds, and retreats — but never in your relationship as a couple

You're ambitious in business and want to be just as intentional about your marriage

You want to connect with other couples who get it — the highs, the lows, and everything in between

Ambitious Entrepreneurs Invest in Everything — Except Their Marriage

You've joined EO, YPO, or Vistage. You have a coach, a therapist, maybe a mastermind group. You invest tens of thousands of dollars a year in your professional growth.

But here's what nobody talks about: those same forums ask you to share your deepest vulnerabilities with strangers while keeping everything from the person who matters most — your spouse.

The result? Entrepreneurs are nearly twice as likely to divorce as the general population. 70% of founders going through divorce say they can't focus on their business. And the loneliest seat at the table is the spouse who hears "I can't talk about Forum."

The insight: What if the most powerful peer group you ever joined was one you experienced with your partner — not apart from them?

Three Proven Frameworks. One Integrated Experience.

No other program in the world combines all three of these research-backed relationship systems.

The Gottman Method

Based on 40+ years of research studying 3,000+ couples. Dr. John Gottman can predict relationship success with 94% accuracy. Our curriculum is built on his Sound Relationship House framework — from building Love Maps to managing conflict constructively.

40+ years of peer-reviewed research

The Enneagram

Nine personality types. Nine ways of seeing the world. Understanding your type — and your partner's — transforms how you communicate, argue, and love. Know your core motivations, your stress patterns, and how to show up for each other when it matters most.

9 types, infinite insight

The Five Love Languages

Words of Affirmation. Acts of Service. Receiving Gifts. Quality Time. Physical Touch. When you speak your partner's language, everything changes. When you don't, even the best intentions get lost in translation.

Based on 30+ years of counseling research

A Forum Model Proven by 75+ Years of EO & YPO — Reimagined for Couples

EO and YPO have proven that small, confidential peer groups transform lives. Their members report it as the single most valuable part of membership — more than the conferences, the content, or the network.

We've taken that proven model and redesigned it from the ground up for ambitious couples — so you grow together instead of apart.

Built by Dave & Carrie Kerpen

Dave and Carrie Kerpen, founders of In It Together couples peer forum

Married at home plate at a Brooklyn Cyclones game in front of 7,000 fans. Built and sold an 8-figure company together. Raised three kids. Hosted the "In It Together" podcast. Survived every storm entrepreneurs face — and came out stronger.

Dave is a 4x author (including NYT bestseller Likeable Social Media), a 16-year EO/YPO Forum member, an Enneagram Type 3 married to a Type 2, and a student of Gottman's work for over a decade. Carrie is the operational powerhouse who scaled Likeable Media to an 8-figure exit at 8.5x EBITDA.

Together, they've lived what they teach — and they're building the program they wish had existed 20 years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is In It Together?

In It Together is the first peer forum designed specifically for ambitious couples. It combines three proven relationship frameworks — the Gottman Method, the Enneagram, and the Five Love Languages — into monthly facilitated sessions with groups of five couples. Members also get an annual retreat and an exclusive members-only app with daily exercises and relationship tools.

Who is this for?

In It Together is designed for ambitious entrepreneur couples who invest in their professional growth through organizations like EO, YPO, or Vistage, and want to be equally intentional about their relationship. If you invest in coaches, masterminds, and retreats for your business but have never invested in your marriage as a couple, this is for you.

How is this different from couples therapy?

In It Together is not therapy. It is a peer forum — a facilitated group of five couples who support each other, share experiences, and grow together using proven relationship frameworks. While therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating issues with a professional, the forum model focuses on peer connection, shared learning, and mutual growth — similar to EO or YPO Forum, but for couples.

What frameworks do you use?

We integrate three research-backed systems: the Gottman Method (40+ years of research, 94% accuracy in predicting relationship outcomes), the Enneagram (nine personality types that reveal core motivations and communication patterns), and the Five Love Languages (identifying how you and your partner give and receive love).

How does the AI matching work?

Our proprietary AI matching model analyzes your Enneagram profiles, Love Language patterns, relationship goals, life stage, and values to pair you with couples who complement your dynamics. This ensures every forum group is intentionally composed for depth and connection — not randomly assembled.

How often do groups meet?

Forum groups meet once per month in structured, facilitated sessions — available both virtually and in person. Each forum also includes one immersive annual retreat and ongoing connection through a private community between sessions.

Who are the founders?

In It Together was founded by Dave and Carrie Kerpen — a married couple of 20 years who built and sold an 8-figure company together. Dave is a 4x published author (including the NYT bestseller Likeable Social Media), a 16-year EO/YPO Forum member, and a longtime student of Gottman and the Enneagram. Carrie scaled Likeable Media to an 8-figure exit at 8.5x EBITDA.

How many couples are in each group?

Each forum consists of five couples — ten people total. This size is backed by decades of peer group research from EO and YPO. It is intimate enough for real vulnerability and deep connection, yet large enough for diverse perspectives.

Is everything shared in the forum confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is the foundation of every In It Together forum. All members sign a confidentiality agreement before joining. What is shared in your forum stays in your forum — this principle is modeled on the confidentiality standards of EO and YPO peer forums, which have upheld this practice for over 75 years.

Can we attend virtually or do we have to be in person?

Both. In It Together forum sessions are available virtually and in person. Many forums operate as hybrid groups, allowing couples to join from anywhere in the world while also offering in-person gatherings. The annual retreat is an in-person experience designed to deepen your connections.

Do both partners need to attend every session?

Yes, both partners attend every session together. This is what makes In It Together fundamentally different from traditional peer forums like EO or YPO, which only include one partner. The forum is designed for the couple as a unit — the exercises, discussions, and frameworks all require both partners to be present and engaged.

What is the time commitment?

The core commitment is one facilitated session per month, typically lasting 2-3 hours. Between sessions, couples are encouraged to complete brief exercises through the members-only app, which takes about 15-20 minutes per week. There is also one annual retreat. The total time investment is designed to be manageable for busy entrepreneur schedules.
