SO, THERE'S THIS NEW THING CALLED CLUBHOUSE ...
I was chit chatting with a friend / client / industry professional << she wears many hats … the other day via text and she texted:
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE NOT ON CLUBHOUSE YET!!??!!??
And I was like: huh??? What are you talking about … what’s Clubhouse?
She goes on to explain that it’s this new networking app where industry experts and industry leaders create ‘rooms’ and talk … literally TALK … to a group of people who want to learn … and these people LISTEN … and at first I was like:
THIS SOUNDS LIKE MY OWN PERSONAL HELL … A GROUP OF ‘TYPE A’ PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO LISTEN TO THEMSELVES TALK … AND THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE???
My immediate questions were:
Who shuts them up if necessary?
What if they never stop talking?
Is there a mute button?
How do they keep these experts from talking over each other and trying to ‘one up’ the other people in the room?
Obviously, I judged, and harshly, before really getting to know the app … and so, my friend (Michelle of Michelle Garibay Events) kindly sent me one of her coveted Clubhouse invites and I took a little peeksy for myself to see what was up and why so many people dig this app …
The first ‘room’ I ventured into was one with my friend Steve from Sinclair & Moore … could I have gotten any luckier??? What an amazing first ‘go’ into this experience … that guy is a plethora of information and he’s interesting to listen to … he’s funny, charming, and knows how to hold a room … I mean, if you’ve seen how popular his workshops are, you’d know … and I was immediately hooked to this idea.
And so, I’m considering the idea of starting a room … in the near ish future … I’m excited to talk about a few topics that I’ve created in a list … but first, I need some actual followers LOL … I’ll work on that next.
BUT, my point … if you haven’t joined yet, it’s pretty cool! And you can leave a room at anytime without anyone seeing you … hahaha …
