Clubs Made Meaningful

Ep 121: Reading the Room - with Denny Corby of Private Club Radio

Episode Description from the Publisher

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. Before Denny does anything, he asks one question: what should people feel when they leave? Everything else gets built backwards from there. That discipline is the difference between an event members remember and one they attended. What makes Denny's perspective worth your time is that he is not observing clubs from the outside. He has stood a few feet from your members, in rooms he was actively trying to win over, with their guard down. He knows what a connected room feels like and he knows within minutes of walking in whether a club has it or not.
