    Ep 122: The Communication Gap with Jason Lisi of ClubLISI (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Every missed event, every confused member, every call that should have been a click. That is the gap between what a club intends and what members actually experience. Join Derek with Jason Lisi, founder and president of ClubLISI, who has spent more than two decades building websites and communications systems exclusively for private clubs. Jason is also a longtime club member himself, which means he feels the friction he is trying to eliminate. His guiding principle is simple: make the club as s

    Ep 121: Reading the Room - with Denny Corby of Private Club Radio (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Most club events are planned from the front end. Pick a date, book the entertainment, set the menu, and hope the feeling takes care of itself. Denny Corby works in the opposite direction. Join Derek with Denny Corby, entertainer, magician, and host of Private Club Radio, who has performed at hundreds of private clubs across the country.

That advantage can quietly turn into a liability the moment it becomes a reason to stop asking whether a message is worth sending. Join Derek with Crosby Renwick, who spent 30 years in advertising sending messages that had to earn attention, and now sits on the board of Marrakesh Country Club.

    Ep 119: A Conversation with Two Designers, Space and Story - with Howard Kuo of KDC Architects (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Architecture and brand are not two separate projects — they're two answers to the same question. Derek and Howard are both designers working in different mediums, and when they compare notes, the process turns out to be nearly identical. Both start with listening, both are doing discovery, and both are chasing the same result: how a member feels when the work is done. The conversation covers where architecture and brand identity meet, why the sequence matters more than most clubs realize, what h

    Ep 118: What 170 Clubs Are Talking About - with Kate Scott of Carolinas Chapter CMAA (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Nobody in this industry sees more clubs at once than a CMAA Chapter Director. Join Derek with Kate Scott, managing director of the Carolinas Chapter of the CMAA, one of the largest and fastest growing chapters in the country. Her job puts her in the room with club leaders across the Carolinas constantly, which means she doesn't just see trends. She sees them forming. Right now that story includes a labor market that isn't letting up, a generational gap between who's on the board and who's actual
