Clubhouse: What it is and How it’s Changing the Future

Imagine yourself in a virtual world where you can instantly tap into any topic of conversation. Where you can connect and engage with likeminded individuals as well as field experts you would never be able to get in front of. This is Clubhouse: a never-ending audio festival guiding you to whatever you want to engage with.

You want to expand your knowledge on brand marketing? Done.

You want to play games? Done.

You need a support group? Done.

You need a motivational group to start your morning? Done.

Clubhouse is the app you didn’t see coming but absolutely need to have in your life.

So… what is Clubhouse?

Clubhouse is a beta drop-in audio chat platform that is filled with rooms incorporating thousands of topics that you can drop in on to explore. Unlike all the other social media channels out there, Clubhouse is Human to Human (H2H), providing a space to converse, network, ask questions, play, debate, inspire, support, and so on.

How does Clubhouse work?

Clubhouse is structured for conversations to take place in rooms. Within each room, there are moderators, speakers, and listeners.

• Moderators: the organizers of the room that manage the conversations and provide the audience with an engaging experience
• Speakers: the people who have the ability to talk on stage
• Listeners: the people in the audience

To really get an idea of the app before using, you can check out the New User Guide that will tell you everything you need to know.

A Human-to-Human Platform

So, let’s talk more about that human interaction. If there’s one thing that everyone can relate to no matter where you live, it’s that experiencing a global pandemic has caused hurt, loss, and loneliness. We have been missing out on the human interaction that we once used to have. This is where Clubhouse shines and what I believe is the crux of why this platform is taking off. It creates instant connection with capturing the human desire to feel more connected to people.

Clubhouse has created a strong user experience when it comes to the levels of interactions you can have with fellow users. It provides the space for intimate conversations creating more genuine connections. On this platform, you can’t hide behind emojis. You have your avatar photo and your voice, which can go along way when connecting with the right person.

Building Your Personal & Professional Brand

People want to help, and people want to connect; it’s that simple. Clubhouse gives you the unique ability to get on stage and talk to people that you’d never think you could get in touch with through an IG DM or email.

There are Investor groups that you could pitch your startup to, branding groups that you can get help on your logo or website, keynote speakers, and so much more. As relationships grow on this platform, you open yourself up to new opportunities. Whether it is an avenue to expand your business or finding the right connection to help you solve a problem, opportunity is everywhere.

Overcoming Fears & Obstacles

This social platform is visionary when it comes to how we perceive ourselves and the support we receive. You learn just how normal all your fears and anxieties are, and I had to experience some anxiety and hard lessons myself to make sense of it all.

According to Psychology Today, nearly 25% of people report fear of public speaking and Very Well Mind says that 77% of people have some level of anxiety regarding public speaking. Through this app, you are empowered to face those fears and improve your confidence in the comfort of your pajamas… I know this one from experience! #pjsAllDay

I also faced another challenge. I had been in my little branding bubble and found myself instantly in front of huge, successful brand strategists who are just straight killing it in the game. It was hard not to compare. But then, I went into a room talking about “Overcoming Imposter Syndrome” that had over 200 listeners. I heard people feeling the same exact way in numerous industries who were equally killing it. It taught me a huge lesson to be comfortable with myself and where I’m at in my journey.
