Recorded February 20, 2021
There is a new social media platform on deck and we are here to demystify it for you. We are regulars on the Clubhouse app and plan to extend our podcast activities onto this new platform which, we believe, will allow us to have more interaction with our listeners. This current beta stage of the app is only available to iOS (apple iphone/ipad) so if you Team Android, this app will eventually open to you and we want to you know about it.

ClubHouse
[00:00:00] Rhumel: [00:00:00] Welcome back to our show.
Twanda: [00:00:02] Welcome back everybody. This is Twanda
Rhumel: [00:00:05] And this is
Rhumel.
Twanda: [00:00:06] Hey Rhumel.
Rhumel: [00:00:07] Hey girl. Hey.
Twanda: [00:00:09] You know this time, I actually try to say your name, right? My daughter brought it to my attention that we neither one of us say each other's name correctly. I call you Ramelle most. Now I know your name is , but
I know, like,
my name
Rhumel: [00:00:30] I know your name is Twanda, but I say Ta-wanda I can't help it.
Twanda: [00:00:38] Yeah, so, but I'm glad we don't, you know, that doesn't cause a problem.
Rhumel: [00:00:42] Yeah, no,
Twanda: [00:00:43] Yeah. Yeah.
Rhumel: [00:00:47] that's so funny. Well, I am glad we're here today and we get a chance to talk about. This new thing, actually, it's not so
Twanda: [00:00:57] to talk about, we're going to talk about talking.
Rhumel: [00:01:01] we are going to talk about talking. I love it.
Twanda: [00:01:05] That must make me like the talk.
Rhumel: [00:01:08] I do like to talk, I've been accused of that, but fortunately I have friends that don't mind me talking and, you know, talking about talk a little crazy sometimes,
Twanda: [00:01:19] Yeah. And today we're talking about an app about talking
Rhumel: [00:01:23] Yes. It's clubhouse. So if you haven't heard about clubhouse, then where you [00:01:30] been, where have yobeen?
Twanda: [00:01:32] He must be joining
Rhumel: [00:01:37] yes. Yes.
Twanda: [00:01:39] in just a moment,
Rhumel: [00:01:40] Say it again.
Twanda: [00:01:41] We will put that comment in context and
Rhumel: [00:01:44] In just a moment. So let's talk about clubhouse. Like I heard about it on Facebook. It seemed like all of my, I won't say my friends, friends, I think like my acquaintance friends were like really into it and I kept on going, like, what is it? What is it?
Twanda: [00:02:04] That's saw people asking, Hey, anybody have a invite? Cause somebody invite me to clubhouse and I was all in Digna. Cause I was like, what is this thing? And how come nobody's inviting me to club house?
Rhumel: [00:02:16] No. So like, so here it is. What, what is clubhouse? Um, clubhouse is an iOS only app right now. That is, it's a social media app. It's like,
Twanda: [00:02:31] It's a whole new social platform.
Rhumel: [00:02:34] yeah,
Twanda: [00:02:35] That is audio only. It is all about the talking, I guess the talking and the listening, the, you know, Well, there's no video. There's there's no, uh, video stream. There is no, um, uh, chat feature inside of it. No email attached at all. It is completely audio.
Rhumel: [00:02:59] It [00:03:00] is, and it can be, it can be lots of fun. It can be overwhelming. It can be underwhelming at times, but, um, it's really catching the world by fire right now. Um, right now, you know, like as of last, this week, there was something like 8 million downloads of the app, which, um,
Twanda: [00:03:21] that is impressive. And I haven't seen one external advertisement, so I'm not exactly sure. How are these people at this point are getting paid to run clubhouse. I'm always suspicious of that type of thing. It's like if I see a commercial I'm annoyed, but at least I know how they're getting paid.
Right.
Rhumel: [00:03:40] Well, I think they have some like angel investors who actually put the money up front. And I know I'm pretty sure, just like with Facebook, when it first started, you know, even though you don't have to, we don't have to pay as users. Eventually the people who have produced the app, they need to get paid. So I anticipate that
Twanda: [00:04:02] come down. They don't pay structure. You know, you pay for everything. And I do want to say or emphasize that part about it being, um, Apple iOS only is temporary because it's in a, in a beta mode right now. The, the Apple people are the Guinea pigs, but we also get it first. And so if you, or an Android user that might explain why you don't know as much about it,
Rhumel: [00:04:28] Right, right. Or, yeah, if you're [00:04:30] in a circle of people who really use Androids more than you probably have it, but, or you may not have, I mean, it's an app, so there are a lot of people who know about it, but so good. Just wanted to kind of take you through what it is on what you've done. Right. And, um, How do you use it?
How do people get onto it and things like that? So one of the unique, Oh, go ahead.
Twanda: [00:04:56] Let's talk about what made me excited about it.
Rhumel: [00:04:59] Oh, go ahead.
Twanda: [00:05:00] I, I saw the excitement. People were talking about getting on clubhouse and I hate to be out. I like it when I'm on the end, like in, I I'm, I'm in there with
Rhumel: [00:05:11] FOMO so bad. You have FOMO so bad. FOMO ....fear of missing out
Twanda: [00:05:18] Okay. Yeah, whatever I was that kid. Yes. I just want to know what everybody's talking about. And so after a while, after a few people saying, I want to invite us, I want to invite. I was like, wow, I need an invite. Cause I want to figure out what's going on. What is it that I'm missing? And then what I've seen when I finally hop in.
I recognize that it is a place where people can, it's almost like a chat room, but not text. It's all audio. And there are different, um, topics that people open up in different rooms. So I can just drop in. And learn about whatever topic [00:06:00] people are discussing. So I guess it puts us into the, how does it work, but that's the reason why I was interested.
It was like, well, what do you do when you're on it? How you go drop in on a room and, and listen to whatever they're talking about. That's the one way to use it. That's what I did first. I was, uh, um, uh, what did you call it? Uh, uh, when you're kind of bystander, but I was, I was just going to watching, I was kind of a fly on the wall in a lot of different rooms just to see what's going on and how does it work?
And you learn real fast. You need to take a class to learn. How it works in clubhouse. And, um, we're hoping that this podcast episode, you get a good chance to get a sense of what is it like to go there? What, what you're doing. So you don't go there completely clueless when you looked at it.
Rhumel: [00:06:52] Well, when and clubhouse is a great way to network and, um, find people. Find people who you can work with either professionally or, you know, on your side hustle, or if you just want to get more information from them, it's a great place to meet people that you never would have probably seen each other in, in regular circles of life.
So, um,
Twanda: [00:07:19] I go there for some, a lot of tips and tricks on things or people who are interested in the same things I'm interested in. That's kind of my biggest purpose when [00:07:30] at first, once I got in and figured out what it was worth. So I'm trying this keto diet And so I've joined a group of people who liked to talk about Keto and, you know, they come up with different topics related to Quito and other people joining.
I mean, if they had the same topic every day is a whole different bag of people who joined the room to have conversation about it. So you get to learn something new. A lot of the time. Um, and I've, I've done you and I have done things in podcast rooms where there's all these tips on how to grow your podcast or how to do whatever it is you want to do with your podcast as a whole.
Rhumel: [00:08:06] there's there's with, especially with the podcasting, it's like, It's like its own creature of sets of rooms that you can find information from. You can leave information. That's it's, that's the thing. I think that it makes it attractive. It's a spot where you can get information, but you can also give information.
You can, um, Make clubhouse friends, if you will. I mean, there are people who have started whole new businesses because of relationships that they have in clubhouse, that they did not know each other before clubhouse. And now they are in actual, um, businesses together, um, based on it. And that's not everybody's situation.
And I everybody's looking for that.
Twanda: [00:08:52] No. I was like, really like, that's what's going on. Cause I wouldn't even thinking like that.
Rhumel: [00:08:55] No seriously. It's I mean, it's definitely out there. So you have [00:09:00] everything from, you know, business things. You can find a business concerns. You can find stuff on spirituality. You can find stuff on religion. You can find stuff, um, related to
Twanda: [00:09:13] I'm in a group for 'This is us'. Cause I love that show. Y'all this is us.
Rhumel: [00:09:17] you're in a, this is us
Twanda: [00:09:19] Yes. I followed them clubhouse that a room that talks about all things. This is us. So people who are crazy about the same show, I'm crazy about, cause it didn't, you, you're not
Rhumel: [00:09:30] not me because
Twanda: [00:09:30] it. I can talk to you and now it's like set that Lovecraft country and I couldn't be there for you, but it's a whole nother story.
And I'm trying to make is, um, Ramelle is going, cause you know, talking about podcasting and business stuff and I'm going to say, yeah, I'm, it's the TV shows and other people who are, uh, like there's one group where the, on a room that they play singing bowls and, and relaxing meditation music, but they're playing it live and it's like, Ooh, I can just drop in and listen to some relaxing music.
So yeah. It's really whatever your interests are. There's a room for that. And there are people who are interested in it and interested in talking about it. And not only can you listen, but you can talk. So we're Rhumel, would you give me an example? If you go into a room, what is it like?
Rhumel: [00:10:17] Okay, I'm going to give you, I'm going to do one better. I want to explain too. How do you get into a room? Because. What you experienced is they call us a hallway where you can [00:10:30] seewhat kinds of rooms that you want, that you have the option to get into at that time. So depending on what your interests are that you set up in your settings, that depends, that decides on what is going to be in your hallway.
So once you go into your room room, once you go into the room that you want to be, and, um, you get. To be you're placed in the audience. Okay. And in the audience, basically, you're just there to listen. Um,
Twanda: [00:11:01] Big ding dong sound. Every time you walk in and disturb everybody and they alternate around and look at you and
Rhumel: [00:11:09] Nope. Which is one of the benefits of it because you get to just poke around. Right? So if you just want to sit there and kind of listen, nobody really says anything. You do see who the other people who are in the room. So you have people who are just listening and then you have people who are speaking that's the stage and the stage has moderator.
So those are the people who are running the rooms. So, um, you,
Twanda: [00:11:35] moderators, and then there's people just on the stage who can talk.
Rhumel: [00:11:39] they have the air of everybody who's on the stage, has the ability to talk people who are moderating. Um, they have the ability to affect whether you get to chance to speak, whether you're put on mute, whether you stay in the audience, whether you get kicked out or whether they close the room altogether. So, yeah. So, um, you can raise your [00:12:00] hand. Um, if you are in the audience and you would like to speak, you can raise your hand. And if the moderator feels as though they want to let you speak at that time, they can bring you on stage. At which time you can speak, ask a question, make a statement, depends on how the run room is being run.
And, um, and so that will depend on whether you speak or not.
Twanda: [00:12:23] Okay. All right. So I've been in rooms that were designed where nobody really gets to speak except the moderators. And then maybe at the end, they have a section of Q and a or comments where they bring people up later. And then I've been in rooms where I get in there and there's only. Like two moderators and me and somebody else.
And it's like, okay, this is awkward. And the first thing they do when you land in the room in the audience is they say they offer, I get an invite, uh, a notification that says, Hey, would you like to speak? And I was like, Oh, crap.
Rhumel: [00:13:01] No. I know I do that too. I just wanted to see.
Twanda: [00:13:06] wanted to do it for, for those of you who might be concerned about those cases before you enter a room, you can see how many people are in the room ahead of time. It gives you like a little number beside a head. You can see if you're the only person in the room, but still, um, sometimes it's like, cool.
I just want to talk about this topic with somebody else who wants to talk about this topic? And so. I don't. Yeah. So it might be [00:13:30] good for you. So it just depends on what you like in some rooms I just held really differently.
Rhumel: [00:13:35] Yeah, they absolutely are. Um, one thing we didn't mention is that when you sign up for, um, Clubhouse, you get to chance to set up a profile.
Twanda: [00:13:47] Oh, that's so important,
Rhumel: [00:13:48] It is very important. And, and I guess, and actually it depends on what your purpose is on. Clubhouse probably will determine how important the profile is for you. Um, people use the profile when you're in rooms, they will actually, um, check your profile to see what you're about.
Twanda: [00:14:11] Yeah, why you eat in your profile? You will say. Some things you want people in clubhouse to know about you and a lot of what that includes, why you're here on club first. And some people are on clubhouse cause they want to tell you about their business. Or some people want to find other people who are unlike them with certain interests.
And that's all they're interested in. It's a lot. And, and so you get to find out, some people put a lot of information. Some people don't put a lot of information, but one of the things that I've found most useful is that. Uh, clubhouse doesn't have an email, our DMS of their own. They say, here's, there's a spot for you to put your, uh, your Twitter handle and your Instagram handle.
And so people. You want to communicate with people say, Hey, I like what you're about. [00:15:00] I'd like to follow you then a follow you through one of those two methods that are still within clubhouse. And so clubhouse doesn't have to commute his own email. No DM, no following structure, not like that. So I thought that was, that was smart on their part.
But it is up to you to set up that in your account, if you would like people to find you and follow you, because we'll do that. And they're encouraged to click on everybody in the room, see what they're about and maybe you'll learn something else.
Rhumel: [00:15:30] So have you been to any of the rooms that have a celebrity in them yet?
Twanda: [00:15:36] No. Cause you talked about that. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to ask you about that. Cause I havent been in one, I think you told me one time about one, but it was like, well, this is not a good time of the day for me to log in. Sdo that, but I've heard about them, but I just don't see them very often. And I am not one to chase certain celebrities, but I'm curious how they'll tell me that.
Who did you see?
Rhumel: [00:16:01] I have not been in one of those rooms, but, um, I know that Elon Musk has been on there. Um, Mark Zuckerberg has been on there. Tiffany Haddish has been on there. Um, Oh, what's the comedian's name?
Twanda: [00:16:16] I'm
Rhumel: [00:16:16] Kevin Hart. Yeah,
Twanda: [00:16:17] he has a profile on there.
Rhumel: [00:16:23] but I think the kind of. Alluring thing about that is that, you know, if a [00:16:30] celebrity wants to come in for a few minutes and you know, people get access to them, you know, potentially you could ask a question to them. If that's something that's important to you. Um, I just think it adds to the buzz of, you know, of clubhouse and, um, It's those rooms are kind of relatively exclusive if you will, because you can, there's only a 5,000 people that can get into a room.
I said only 5,000, but trust me on some of the like Elon Musk basically broke club. I mean, cause there were so many people who really were trying to get into use, um, to get in contact with them. I mean, like to be in there room.
Twanda: [00:17:14] that room to hear what he has to say. I can see a lot of uses for it. Um, it would be fun to get it together. Now. I personally enjoy seeing people that I talk to as well. Uh, Yeah, like you, but sometimes I just, I like the fact that this is a scenario where I can not have to worry about my hair. It looks like what I'm doing or where I am.
I can pop in and out whenever, if I have a few moments and, uh, I'm looking suppose some entertainment. Yeah, sure. I could go to tiktoc Instagram, but here I can just sit in and listen to something. I want to listen to.
Rhumel: [00:17:56] people have made the comparison, [00:18:00] um, to, for clubhouse to, um, podcasting because of that, just audio aspect and that you can kind of. Poke in Peek in and just go on and do whatever else you're doing. And you don't, you can contribute, which is something that you can't do with podcasting. You can't, you know,
Twanda: [00:18:22] If you're listening to us right now, and you want to say, but wait, you forgot to say this. You can't say that then you know, it's happening right now and you'll hear it later. So yeah,
Rhumel: [00:18:32] Yeah. Oh, and then that reminds me, um, you cannot record in, well, no, I take
Twanda: [00:18:39] a good policy.
Rhumel: [00:18:40] you can record, however, you have to clearly specify in the room that you are recording. Um, Whatever is happening in the room so that people know when they go in and they are being recorded. So you can technically do it, but you have to give notice.
Twanda: [00:19:02] in the title of the room name, I think for everybody who goes in and knows that this is being recorded because otherwise what happens in clubhouse stays
Rhumel: [00:19:12] house. Yes.
Twanda: [00:19:14] no record of it because apparently if you break rules, they will kick you out. And the person who invited you.
Rhumel: [00:19:20] Yes. So, yes, exactly. Exactly. So when you get, when you think, when you join, if someone has extended an invite to [00:19:30] you and you join and you get your, you get two invites, I think when you join. So when you do that, make sure you're careful with who you give those invites to, because if they get up there and act a purity, fool, they can get removed and then you get removed and you're like, wait a minute, but I didn't do anything.
Twanda: [00:19:49] Yeah, but you recommended this idiot and here, and you're responsible for a problem. So we deleting you too.
Rhumel: [00:19:54] That's right.
Twanda: [00:19:55] Yeah. So your recommendation really does mean something.
Rhumel: [00:20:00] Yeah.
Twanda: [00:20:00] Well,
Rhumel: [00:20:01] Oh, go ahead. Oh, did you hear that Facebook is also looking to do this is also looking to do
Twanda: [00:20:10] Now that's starting to get complicated. Can they just let one thing be one thing, make better join club outs and make it one place where we can do this. I don't need, well, are you own this club house or this club house? I don't, I don't like.
Rhumel: [00:20:25] know, I mean, they would call it something else, but.
Twanda: [00:20:28] but are you on this audio only social platform? Are you on that audio only social platform? I don't, I don't like the idea of a private thing. Um, no,
Rhumel: [00:20:41] you know, I think the problem is going to be, and I don't want to say the problem, but, um, clubhouse, if I understand it correctly, um, is being built by just a few people, right?
Twanda: [00:20:54] scaling well, is that what you're thinking is not scaling up well,
[00:21:00] Rhumel: [00:21:00] No, no, no, no. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that Facebook is a bazillion dollar company. Right. And they have more resources to potentially build something, um, very quickly that, um, would not experience the same kind of glitches that clubhouse has. So like
Twanda: [00:21:22] I hear you. But I had things about Facebook. I don't like, I love the idea that there's a whole new platform created by a whole lot of people with a different, uh, uh, framework of thought. I, you know, mark Zuckerburg you know, he's done this. I would love somebody else to do. And maybe if Facebook, I don't know. I just liked the idea that some other entity is coming up with their way of creating a platform.
So it doesn't have to be Facebook.
Rhumel: [00:21:51] Don't don't get me wrong. I'm only saying that that is what I know
Twanda: [00:21:56] And I'm saying that I hope that that doesn't happen. I'd rather them come up slower. And be their own thing instead of it being a Facebook thing.
Rhumel: [00:22:05] Well, that's what I'm saying is I, I, I'm more concerned that, uh, Facebook,
Twanda: [00:22:11] Hmm.
Rhumel: [00:22:12] um, entity that could come in with a ton, more resources could come in and cry, basically crushed clubhouse because let's, let's face it clubhouse right now is only Apple is only iOS. Right? And so if. Uh, Facebook who has a lot more [00:22:30] resources could potentially get the same kind of environment and include Android right out the bat.
Then now, um, clubhouse is in a bit of, on their knees trying to catch up.
Twanda: [00:22:46] Right. No, I see se they could definitely say competition someone copying their platform style and in doing better or making it bigger.
Rhumel: [00:22:55] Yeah, they could, they could totally scale it. They have the resources to scale it up and, and create the environment. I think that clubhouse is looking to, but in a much more efficient, effective way. And I like clubhouse a lot, you know, I'm on there every single day,
Twanda: [00:23:13] Yeah,
Rhumel: [00:23:16] every day. I'm like, so, you know, it was on clubhouse today.
And I mean, I, there are a lot of conversations
Twanda: [00:23:24] I wanted to talk about that too, because I know I've invited people and they say, well, how would this work? And I'm, I'm hesitant because, you know, I just want to know what I'm getting into. There is something to be concerned about there, because if so, I can get on clubhouse and I can find people that I'd like to follow.
And following people means that when they are, when they go into a room, I, uh, if they start speaking in that room, I get a notification that this person that I followed is speaking in a certain room [00:24:00] and that is designed so that I can, uh, go and say, Oh, let me go see what they're talking about. Oh, let me go in that room with them.
But it also is a privacy thing, because that means I can't go into a room and speak without somebody else, knowing that I am. Uh, in that room speaking. And even if they missed the notification that I am in a room, they can look at a list of all their friends and see who's online and who's in what room.
So there's not a lot of, uh, privacy about what room you're in. So this is not the thing you go to. If you got some dark secret interests that you don't want anybody to know about, I don't think you can get in here without. Them, no. Uh, taking your name, like, I think it works through a phone number. You can correct me later, but I don't think you can go in and change your name from, to some, some secret name.
That's not really yours. So people who know will know this is Twanda and she is in this freaky people room and appears that I'll get in there for like two hours, you know? So. I'm just saying those are some things you'd have to, uh, to think about. I don't want that to surprise you when you think you sneak in up in, you know, the, the fans only room only fans or whatever.
I don't
Rhumel: [00:25:24] I don't know what those things are. Yeah.
Twanda: [00:25:28] uh, like, uh, [00:25:30] I don't know. I think you found yourself in a little sketchy room one time, too.
Rhumel: [00:25:33] I did find myself in a sketchy room. I was like, Oh, let me just see what this is. And I was like, Oh, the name did not match my thought process. Okay. So. I was like getting out, you know, the thing about it is if you're just listening in the audience, people won't get a notification that you're
Twanda: [00:26:01] Yeah, they won't. But if they look over their friends list and see who's all high they'll know that you're sitting in that room.
Rhumel: [00:26:08] I agree, but I'm just saying it, they don't get a notification, but if you go up on stage to speak, they get, your friends will get a notification. Now, speaking of notifications, the one thing I will say about clubhouse that is really irritating too. I think a lot of people at this point is the amount of notifications you will get on your phone.
If you allow for notifications, um, to come
Twanda: [00:26:34] Yeah, I was struggling with that earlier, before we even started recording, I had, I had been in a clubhouse. I turned off the notifications because it was getting too many and I turned them back on before this. Uh, recording this episode just to see what they look like. And then it was, it didn't take long at all for me to realize, Oh yeah.
That's why I turned that off like that. It notifies you when I think when a room [00:27:00] is starting in a clubhouse that you follow, I guess we should talk about that too. Um, but, uh, but it also lets me know that when they room is being scheduled by somebody that I follow or by a clubhouse that I followed. And that's not a problem, except if they tell me that this room is being scheduled for three weeks in advance.
Well, that's helpful to me. I mean, this is like, well, I'm not, what am I going to do with that? I'm not going to remember what happened three weeks in advance. I can remember to check the calendar later or check the clubhouse calendar, but I felt like some of it is neat senseless, but then if you're sitting in clubhouse, but maybe you're not in a room.
And somebody else sees that you're online, but not in a room. They can say, Hey, you're going to get in a private chat room with me or not a whole room with me. And that's kind of cool. It's like, Oh yeah, you know, you need notifications to know when other people are like, Hey, I see you are available to chat.
I just thought we'd, you know, do a clubhouse chat together.
Rhumel: [00:28:04] well, and I think that goes to the fact that they're trying to build communities and, you know, and so in order to build a community, I think they're thinking like, you're, you're people need to know that you're, you're doing these things. So it's a, it's a balance, but, um,
Twanda: [00:28:21] just helps to know what to expect. Uh, but the first time one of my friends got on clubhouse, it. [00:28:30] Told me that, Hey, your friend, because they know they're my friend, because they're in my contacts, their phone number is in that contact. And so they said, Hey, your friend has his brand new to clubhouse and is in the lobby.
You know, it's just, you know, it is it's online now come say, Hey, in her room. And I said, Oh, let me do that. And I popped into the room. And so she's sitting, she's in a clubhouse room is a private room for only her friends. Now, when I say her friends, it's people on her contact list. So she's getting this room and somebody is already in there saying, Hey, Hey, welcome to the clubhouse.
And she's okay with that. But then suddenly to her is I pop in the room and she's like, Twanda,
how'd, you know, I was in here, you know, Discombobulated, like what is going on?
Rhumel: [00:29:24] I, you know, I had that experience too, where, um, one. Actually for two other friends that happened. And because if you don't know what's going on in clubhouse, um, and as a new user, you really don't. Right. And then you also in your popped into this room and people are like, Hey girl. And it's like, Wait a minute.
What,
Twanda: [00:29:45] Did you have
Rhumel: [00:29:46] how did this happen? Yeah, but it's,
Twanda: [00:29:49] really friends?
Rhumel: [00:29:53] You're in my contact list, but I don't know you like that, but yeah. But, um, one of the, the cool things I want [00:30:00] to say about clubhouse too, is that, um, they have groups or they have communities that they call clubs, um, in clubhouse. And so, um, When you get, you have an opportunity to join these clubs and these clubs are based on subject matter, right?
So if it's women's empowerment, you can, you can join one that on that you can join one on women who travel alone. You can join one for physicians, you can join, they have all
Twanda: [00:30:33] The topic
Rhumel: [00:30:34] Whatever the topic is, and anybody can create their own club with their own topic matter. And so, uh, subject matter rather, and then you add people to that list and that's really what, uh, where a lot of these notifications come from, but it's, you get to build a community of people who are interested in that subject.
And so it's really, really cool, like, um, Because I'm really into podcasting. I belong to different podcasts clubs, and I get notifications about that. I also get travel notifications and stuff like that. So.
Twanda: [00:31:11] Yeah. I, I want people to know that there are rooms that are opening up that are open every day, all throughout the day. Yeah, this is worldwide. So this is a 24 seven type of thing. There's people on. Clubhouse and their rooms being [00:31:30] open every hour of the day. And so there's always a room for welcoming new people, and that is a very good place to start because they will go through a list of things new people can know.
And I have no desire to go through all of that on this, on this platform, because. But I want you to know that it's available at all times. And if you're new, you should look at it. Look for that so that you can learn the, a little nuances about what it's like to be on clubhouse. I really might this episode just as being more of a, Ooh, it's exciting.
Here's what we've learned. And here's what it looks like. Uh, and I want you to feel comfortable enough to get on and, and check it out and see, because of all those people who will have a clubhouse for RhuMel and I. Uh, establishing a clubhouse as well. So there's there's rooms and anybody can open up a room, but a clubhouse has the ability to get more of a following.
A group of people who are interested in the same contest. I can do a room today about my knitting interests tomorrow, about my KIDO interests and so forth. And maybe my friends wouldn't know, and maybe some people would randomly pop in, but when you have a club and. Uh, you can, you have a chance to build a group of a following who at least are notified, um, uh, what your topic is and that you've got a room coming up and I'll tell them about how we aren't just doing this alone,
Rhumel: [00:32:58] We are not [00:33:00] so we know people, right. Honestly.
Twanda: [00:33:06] a lot of people.
Rhumel: [00:33:08] Well, you know, we work with a lot of really cool people doing this
Twanda: [00:33:14] Interview a lot of cool people.
Rhumel: [00:33:16] Yes. And one of them is Monica wisdom. She worked with us on, um, our vision for it episode, and she's an amazing person who has a lot of, um, insight into different things. And so we asked her and, um, Steph at Dr.
Stephanie Brown. Who we were on her podcast, um, to start off with. And then she recently, um, came to our show to work on the, uh, let go to level up. Um, she is an amazing person as well. Um, so. We asked both of these women to join us, to start a club and it's going to be called right now. It's pending called the we're speaking sisterhood.
So, yes, I mean, and so Stephanie has her own podcast and Monica is, um, putting hers together for it to be released soon. So it's a group of four women who are really passionate about, um, Empowering women I'm really passionate about, um, just speaking our voice, especially for women who [00:34:30] are over 40, you know, and just finding the power in, uh, in, in using our voices. And so we are so super excited. We've been doing this for the last few weeks right now. I'm on Mondays
Twanda: [00:34:44] Oh, we have to red one. All
Rhumel: [00:34:46] Yeah. Our third one is coming up and.
Twanda: [00:34:49] As I spoke over you, if you were saying Monday at 8:00 PM, for those of you listeners, Oh wait. You know what? By the time this airs, we will have already.
Rhumel: [00:34:58] but it's okay. We probably will be continuing in some fashion. Um, but, um, it's okay. Just look for us, cause we always are going to be, um, putting our rooms up and stuff on our social media. So, um, please just check us out because. It's an opportunity to use your voice.
Twanda: [00:35:21] Yeah. We'd like to hear from, from you as well. We know this podcast is very one way for the rest of you all. So it's fun to meet the people who are listening and who have something to say about some of the topics. And I would love to actually talk to you. And this is a way we feel like we might be able to get more interaction going.
Rhumel: [00:35:40] Absolutely. Absolutely. And our first two were pretty successful. Last week. We literally had to close it down with a room full of people because we were just like, okay, we're tired now.
Twanda: [00:35:52] It's been an hour and a half. Yeah. And that's not odd on, on clubhouse rooms can go for [00:36:00] hours. It's just that the way my energy level is set up
Rhumel: [00:36:03] I know. I know it. Oh,
Twanda: [00:36:06] on a Monday night.
Rhumel: [00:36:09] Yeah. Yeah, but we're actually, we're going to be doing more rooms too. Um, in general, uh, uh, Even by ourselves, we'll be doing more rooms. So, um, you'll be getting a chance to talk with. Um, Twanda and I, um, yeah, we're just going to pop up and do different things. So we're looking forward to actually being able to talk with our different or different girlfriends, right?
Twanda: [00:36:34] And that's, that's fine. I'm, I'm really looking forward to that. We just, I know one thing we were like, this is a audio specific, uh, platform. We need to be on it, duh. I mean, that's what we do. Uh,
Rhumel: [00:36:49] And I don't have to get dressed up.
Twanda: [00:36:51] that's my.
Rhumel: [00:36:52] I can do, I can multitask and do it. Right.
Twanda: [00:36:56] Yeah.
Rhumel: [00:36:57] that's half the half the battle. So, um, we hope that you guys will come by and join us and hang out with us.

Twanda: [00:38:10] We can only talk to me add value.
Rhumel: [00:38:13] Girl anyway.
