Are you on the Apple-only app Clubhouse? It's a voice-only platform (no photos, videos, live camera, captions, or direct messages!). Think of it like a live podcast or a mini-conference right on your phone. I highly encourage you all to hop on and test it out. We have limited invites available - DM us if you want an invite!
