I love that you can just be present and you don’t have to worry about creating content or getting dressed up. You hear from people around the world and all walks of life.
I am witnessing so much patience, connection and encouragement with each other that I have never seen in my 15 years of being involved in social media apps.
Right now, it is an equal playing field, it’s so new that and you can’t buy followers, they discourage and take down follow for follow rooms. There are people on here that have over a million followers on Instagram but only a few hundred followers on Clubhouse. Introverts are able to share their voices and moderators are encouraging them to speak up in the rooms.
Outcomes of participating in the app:
Learning
Mentorship
Collaboration
Inspiration
Connection
Lifting each other up
Business opportunities
Some examples of the power of this amazing app: (names have been stripped in alignment with Clubhouse privacy policies unless they shared the Clubhouse story publicly)
Tiffany Haddish sharing how to manage bullies online.
I was in a room that we were discussing gratitude for the day. We had over 70 people sharing what they were grateful for and celebrating each other.
Another room someone was sharing that they had a rough few days and crying on the app and others jumping in to celebrate her in sharing her struggle and people jumping in to see what she needs and how we could help.
Brian Fanzo landing multiple speaking gigs from sharing his knowledge on the Clubhouse stage.
Mothers bringing their kids to hear the audio reading of the Lion King and the kids got to ask the Lion King cast questions. Simba asked one child what they want to be when they grow up and the child responded to study STEM. Where else can we have this uplifting group conversation? The mother said it totally made her daughter’s day.
Some moms reading books to other kids to give moms a break.
MT shared that he sold four $5000 coaching packages within one hour.
A chef jumped in and shared that her business is struggling and asked the group what she should do as she was considering investing in adding a food truck. Another individual (PB) jumped in and shared that he owns and builds food trucks and would help her. Another individual jumped in and advised on how to get capital for her business.
Another person (RC) shared his story about shifting from owning a restaurant to now hosting twenty tennis boot camps at $1000 each. Being open to other ideas and pivoting your business.
I witnessed a gentleman (Marcus) give another room attendee $1000 towards their non-profit (Patrick).
A coach gained 13 new clients and have two sponsors for two other people in the room for the marriage/intimacy coaching programs.
To extend the power of Clubhouse, consider adding more levels of engagement in Clubhouse. Chat or direct messages are not native to the app. I am seeing people get creative on how to include chat as an option when you set up a room or club. Judi Fox did this through LinkedIn Events, and I thought it was brilliant.

Fair warning before you sign up for the app, it is addictive. The app is only available on itunes right now. Android is coming.
