Clubhouse showed us that real voice has so much power that can make you feel connected to people like never before. No social media has ever created this quality of connection. Even listening to people we follow on other social media, was so refreshing and exciting on CH. It was like we have discovered them once again on a whole new level, because they become a real person for us.
I think CH is not exciting because you have a chance to have convo with the unreachable people. Honestly the chance of it is still too low. But listening to that person in an informal, raw and unpolished setting is the magic here.
CH experience is even so much different from listening to that person’s podcast or youtube video. The spontaneity is the key. The element that is missing in our daily life. people hide themselves behind text, well-prepared video or even planned webinar consciously or unconsciously.
On the other hand, This freshness is becoming rare and rare everyday. like any other social media all the growth hacks, tips and tricks and people with agenda are taking over the platform.
How this freshness can come to our daily life but without all the noise and time-waste happening on CH?
how we can maintain that freshness?
I guess the answer is: public voice messages! Imagine you could listen to unfiltered, unpolished voices from people right after they had an unique experience like finish reading a great book, having a great convo with other people, writing a well-written blog post, solving a difficult challenge, a hard talk with their employee and etc…
the freshness of that experience can completely become transferable if you could send a voice message and tell that story without further preparation. this is what we want to have in our life. this is how we really can learn from the thought process of that person.
