Podcasts about private club radio

The podcaster sits in the hot seat. Private Club Radio's Denny Corby joins the Beyond The Baselines podcast and talks everything private member clubs. If a listener gets one thing out of just one of his podcasts, it means the world to Corby, the host of the biggest podcast in club management. “Your vibe attracts your tribe,” says Corby who took over Private Club Radio several years ago. Denny Corby As personal friends, Ed Shanaphy, our host, and Denny talk movies and fashion through to club management and the two organizations, the CMAA and the NCA, which dominate the industry. We ask the question if clubs actually compete against each other. As an industry, management shares more and more each year, but perhaps clubs and members see it differently. Various factors are behind how prospective members look at possible membership at clubs and future members may have various motivations to join a social group. Clubs are rebranding themselves with an eye toward legacy and the younger generations. And in attempting to attract that younger-aged member, clubs have been relaxing the dress codes and looking for more family-friendly events. We discuss how rebranding a club can, in an odd way, be similar to rebranding our respective podcasts. Clubs usually find a niche and present themselves within that special market. Most podcasts survive within a niche. And Corby has found his crowd for sure as his podcast is the leader in the private members club arena. We have both realized that the CMAA World Conference is so grand that, for business reasons, it's truly important to also attend the various chapters conferences to get even further inside the community of club managers, vendors and association members.

Booking entertainment at golf course venues can boost member engagement and revenues. Who better to advise club managers than comedian, magician, and Private Club Radio host Denny Corby? Corby fell in love with magic as a kid growing up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and he had an obvious knack for entertainment. After balancing college and work for his parents at their paper supply company (yes, it was in Scranton), the real-life cross between “The Office” characters Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, and Andy Bernard went out on his own to pursue his dream. Corby is now a successful magician, entertainer, and keynote speaker, performing regularly for large corporate clients, small private clubs, and everything in between. He's been featured on Fox and NBC, and he's produced an instructional DVD, “Magic Tricks Now,” to help you impress your family and friends. Late in 2022, he became host of Private Club Radio, a podcast delving into the intricacies of private club industry operations and entertainment. In this episode, Corby dishes on the telltale signs of good and bad clubs, pulls the rug from under the feet of open-admission policies, shares tips from national venues to help smaller clubs, and tries to make a Houdini-like escape from the interviewee chair. Clubs are One Member Away from Changing, for Better or Worse The staff at private clubs often operate under the auspices of a board of directors, and many of those are dues-paying members that earn election or appointment. Turnover on the board can fuel turnover on the staff, which can affect member experience. Sometimes, the whims of just one director can incite significant change. A solution? Member vetting. “Now's the time for clubs to try new things, be a little bit stricter with their membership, because now there's a waitlist,” Corby said. How to Spot a Good Club Corby has maintained his northeast Pennsylvania roots, but his work has taken him to perform at clubs all over the country. So he sees the same best practices in the better-run clubs. They include: Making staff feel important and part of a family. A nickname goes a long way, like the “Squirrel Squad” at The Country Club in Boston. Marketing your entertainment internally, not just externally. Get the employees as fired up as the members for the upcoming performance. Get to know your members, and bring in entertainers or speakers that match their interests. Enjoy this episode of Leadership on the Links with Denny Corby! Soundbytes 15:13-15:35 “The really good clubs are their own living, breathing thing. They have a value, a structure. They have their mission, their vision, their personality in terms of a club, and they make sure they get the right person in there. It's not just about filling a body and getting somebody in; it's getting the right person, the right manager.” 26:27-26:57 “That's probably a big thing, is that it's OK to fail. It's OK to try new things. You're not going to lose members because you tried an event and no one showed up. Or because it just failed miserably for whatever reason. No one cares. Granted, in that moment, it might suck. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. No one cares. They just want to know and see that their clubs are progressing, trying to be better, and trying to adapt with the changing times, because clubs are behind, I think, in terms of a lot of different aspects.” Quotes “So early on, I thought, ‘Oh, I'm going to put up a website, and people are going to book me.' That's not how it works. There's this thing called marketing, and you have to go out there and do things.” “Why do some clubs let everybody in? I didn't realize how much people really didn't vet. Or they say, ‘You're friends with Bill and Dan? Oh, all right. Good enough.' But it's not just that person, it's their surrounding sphere.” “I can tell, almost immediately based on the phone call, how the club show is going to go, meaning how many people are going to show up, X, Y, and Z, and how they promote things.” “I carry a bag of tricks, so it's probably a deck of cards.” “I like when people leave a show, and somebody will ask, ‘How was it?' And they'll say, ‘You just had to be there.'”   Links Mentioned in This Episode: Tyler Bloom Consulting: https://tylerbloomconsulting.com/ Denny Corby: https://www.dennycorby.com/ Private Club Radio: https://www.privateclubradio.com/ Connect with Denny on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennycorby/

I've been listening to Private Club Radio for years. The podcast is focused on the private club industry and host Gabe Aluisy does a great job interviewing the best of the best. Considering I work, and want to spend the majority of my career in this world, this content is always relevant. When we lived in Naples, Florida, finally got the chance to meet Gabe and we became quick friends. Gabe also owns the Private Club Agency and has written several books. Needless to say, this guy never slows down!  On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast you will learn more about Gabe's new project Let's Play Thru, a YouTube show following Gabe and his golf business as they explore the best golf destinations around the world. We also talk about the cameras he is using, his IndieGoGo campaign, his upcoming trip to the Middle East and more. It doesn't matter what Gabe does, he turns whatever he touches into gold, and Let's Play Thru is no different. This was a fun episode and I really enjoyed having Gabe on the show.

Rick Ladendorf and Craig Marshall of Prevo Health Solutions  are often referred to as The Monk & The Mastermind. You'll find out why on this episode of Private Club Radio as we explore their new service to the private club industry. Rick and Craig share to amazing gifts with our audience, so make sure to stay tuned to the full episode. PREVO has been beta testing a new leadership program with private clubs from California to Florida in conjunction with Craig Marshall. Craig has mentored and met some of the world’s most successful people, including Steve Jobs, Ronald Reagan, Shirley Temple, Fred Segal and Beatle George Harrison. As a yoga monk, Craig traveled the globe for 35 years, teaching mindfulness & meditation, mentoring people from all walks of life. Private clubs that are mindful of and driven by purpose exemplify three main things: They stand up for something that they believe will deliver true value (or otherwise improve the lives of the customers). They stand out from competitors by intentionally and consistently delivering a distinctive customer experience (across all channels that is consistent with their promise). They stand firm by creating the appropriate culture (to ensure sustainable and authentic delivery over the long term). Rick Ladendorf, PREVO’s founder explains, “We have mapped the most pressing issues a club manager faces against the seven core constituencies, and then applied staff thinking and behavior patterns to an educational curriculum. Part of the training is delivered on site, and is enhanced by digital media, which resides on a platform - to provide accountability and measurement. Considering the costs associated with employee turnover – including interviewing, hiring, training, reduced productivity, lost opportunity costs, etc. – this is the actual cost to an organization: For entry-level employees, between 30%-50% of their annual salary to replace them. Some studies (such as SHRM) predict that every time a business replaces a salaried employee, it costs 6 to 9 months' salary on average. For a manager making $40,000 a year, that's $20,000 to $30,000 in recruiting and training expenses. Craig Marshall adds, “Amidst the challenge and change in today’s private club industry (not to mention in the wide world!), mindfulness is a core skill. “Mindfulness” education includes topics such as: living a conscious life, inspired leadership, aligning with your personal life-purpose, creating culture & community, becoming an innovative thinker, mastering change & transition and core communication skills. We call these the 7 Mindful Living Habits of a Sustainable Club™. The four immediate benefits from our program are: Tools to reduce stress. Ways to create greater personal responsibility among your team members. Understanding why positive focus will help everyone achieve their goals. The work-life balance necessary to create a healthy culture & avoid turnover. The goal is to build an inspired team and implement the club’s vision with all its stakeholders. Building such a culture and aligning your club’s vision with your operational plans requires specific skills, yet they will directly reduce turnover and help build a culture that will stand the test of time.

On this week’s Podcast, our good friend Hazel Alvarado who works with me on the show, journeys to New Haven, CT to check out their cocktail culture and chats with Dan Rek, Beverage Director for Fork Hospitality and Tim Cabral,one of the owners of New Haven’s oldest Tavern - The Ordinary. Take a listen to the Bartender Journey Podcast No. 227 with the audio player on this page, or on Apple Podcasts/ Google Play Music/ Stitcher Radio But first there’s plenty of other stuff to talk about. I told you last week that I heard from the fine people at Johnnie Walker.  They are releasing just 39,000 bottles of Johnnie Walker Black The Director’s Cut in conjunction with the release of the film Blade Runner 2049, starring Harrison FordThe film is directed by  Denis Villeneuve who collaborated with Master Blender Jim Beveridge to create this wonderful variation on Johnnie Walker Black.  It’s absolutely delicious.  Smokey like the original, but a little richer, rounder and even a bit fruitier.  Its 49% ABV as opposed to the 40% of the original.  Johnnie Walker Black is a great scotch...a classic, and I really enjoy this riff on it. It comes in a really interesting futuristic bottle. The original Blade Runner Movie was based on the book by Philip K. Dick called: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? So we’ll use that amusing name for our Cocktail of the Week! Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? 1 ½ oz Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut, (or substitute Johnnie Walker Black Label) ½ oz Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur ½ oz Grilled Pineapple Juice (Juice from slices of Pineapple that have been grilled on each side for 3 mintues.) ½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice ½ oz Honey Syrup (1:1) 1 Dash Fee Brothers Molasses Bitters (or substitute Angostura Aromatic Bitters). Freshly Ground Nutmeg Shake all ingredients except Nutmeg with ice.  Double strain into an Old Fashioned glass with one large ice cube.  Grate a small amount of Nutmeg on top.  Garnish with a wedge of grilled Pineapple, preferably skewered on a Hip-Stirrer Metal Robot Swizzle Cocktail Stirrer.   Industry news from Bar Institute: “This unrelenting hurricane season has already caused unspeakable damage from Texas to the Caribbean. And, as our dear friends in Puerto Rico prepare for another very serious storm in Hurricane Maria, we have made the choice to postpone Bar Institute San Juan in the interest of everyone's safety and out of respect for the limited resources (including power, water and food) that are now available on the island. 

The new dates are 1/29-1/31 2018”.   Oct 23-25 – Portland, OR Nov 13-16 – New York, NY Jan 29-31 – San Juan, PR   We have posted last week on BartenderJourney.net about NY area industry events for hurricane relief. Look for the link under the show notes on the site for this episode.  If you are doing something too and would like to let us know about what your bar is doing to help, let us know on the contact page.   I think as a Bartender (or even an enthusiast who throws a lot of cocktail parties), being a great conversationalist is a great skill to have.  You need to have lots of stuff to talk about – knowing a little about a lot can help your conversation skills.    Podcasts are a great way to learn stuff – and you listen to podcasts!  I know that for a fact because you can hear me talking right now! So I thought we’d try out a new segment called Unrealted Podcast Suggestion of the Week.   We’ll do a podcast suggestion that has nothing to do with Bartending, cocktails or spirits. And since you listen to podcasts and most likely do a lot of that listening on headphones, our Unrealted Podcast Suggestion of the Week is brought to you by a great headphone company called Sudio.  They make great quality wireless Bluetooth headphones, which btw, if you are still using headphones that you physically have to plug into your phone you are nuts!     These Sudio headphones sound great!  It’s a shame that over the last couple of decades we’ve been increasingly sacrificing sound quality for convenience. Sudio also has a wireless earbud style model.  And if you use my coupon code BARTENDERJOURNEY you can get 15% off any model.  Go to sudiosweden.com and make sure you use coupon code BARTENDERJOURNEY for 15% off and to show your support for Bartender Journey!   So our Unrealted Podcast Suggestion of the Week is Showcase from Radiotopia, a new podcast from Radiotopia featuring original series from emerging and leading radio producers around the world. The current series, Ways of Hearing, is a six-part series about listening in the digital age from acclaimed musician Damon Krukowski. It’s a really interesting and podcast about the transition from analog to digital. It’s a fascinating discussion and expertly produced and I hope you’ll enjoy it.  It’s a limited run series and all 6 episodes.  If you have a suggestion for Unrealted Podcast Suggestion of the Week I’d really love to hear it!  Send me an email at brian@bartenderjourney.net with “podcast suggestion” in the subject line.   Oh hey!  I was a guest on another podcast.  As you may know, I bartend at a Private Club.  I was recently featured on the podcast called Private Club Radio.  If you are interested in hearing me on another podcast, or if you happen to work in a Private Club, check out Private Club Radio.  We’ll have a link to my episode in the show notes on bartenderjourney.net.   If you are a Bar or Restaurant owner, this week on our resource page, we have a link to a couple articles about insurance.  Not the “sexiest” of topics, but definitely an important and necessary one. Learn about General Liability Insurance, Business Property Insurance and Workers Comp from Embroker Insurance.   We’ve also included the Northeast contact information for additional questions. And here’s some legalese: The article posted is not an endorsement and is for information only; rules may vary by jurisdiction.   Oh boy, here we go again with TOTC drama.  If you remember, back in March 2017 there was a huge uproar in the Cocktail community about a picture Ann Tuennerman, founder of TOTC posted.  She repeated an insensitive remark made by her husband Paul Tuennerman, and in the photo, Ann was wearing blackface.  It’s an old Marti Gras tradition and I won’t get into the details, but I covered all this very thoroughly back in episode #203.  I’ll have a link with the show notes or search back in the feed for the episode called Diversity Awareness (& Some Turmoil) in the Cocktail World          Shortly after all this happened, Paul stepped down from his position at TOTC. Tales formed a Diversity Council. Which according to their web site:  “This Council composed of professionals from across the industry and outside of the industry, will work towards implementing progressive initiatives and monitoring their progress over time. This process will be completely transparent, and each initiative will be documented and made viewable to the public”.   Paul didn’t attend Tales this year as far as I could tell and the 15th TOTC was awesome as always.  It was feeling like the healing was beginning.   Then last week, 9/22/17 the website Neat Pour broke the story that Paul would be returning to the organization.  Ann announced this to the Diversity Council in an email.  The Council was not consulted at all and in fact Diversity Council Co-chair Colin Asare-appiah publicly resigned his post immediately.   There was uproar and lots of posts on FB.  People were pissed off again.   Our friend Jackie Summers, member of USBG NY and proprietor of Sorel Artisinal Liqueur sits on the Diversity Council.   He posted a very detailed note late friday night/ saturday morning that begins “Time for some facts.  Hopefully this will add some clarity”.  I won’d read the entire post but it is clear that Paul’s reinstatement, just 7 months after the original incident was very disturbing to the Diversity Council as well as the community as a whole.   Later in Jackie’s post he says “While I consider whether or not to continue my own future involvement, my concern is that this sequence of actions may prove more divisive than the incident itself.”    As I said, all this happened on Friday.   One day later, on Saturday evening  9/23/17 the following email   Tales of the Cocktail Co-Founders Step Down   “Co-Founders, Ann and Paul Tuennerman, will be transitioning away from their roles in producing the world’s renowned cocktail event, Tales of the Cocktail, effective immediately.   Melissa Young, who has served as Director of Operations for the past nine years will assume the reigns of the operating company behind the event, MOJO911, LLC, as President.”   The press release goes on with a quote from Ann:   "We have devoted our professional careers to the hospitality industry even before the formation of Tales of the Cocktail and the New Orleans Culinary and Cultural Preservation Society).  Our goal has always been to create something lasting that can benefit the industry and the people of New Orleans well beyond our years. This allows that to continue," said Ann R. Tuennerman.)   There is another quote from Paul, but no mention of the controversy or the timing of this decision.   “It has been an honor to spend the last fifteen years working within the industry to create something extraordinary. I am fortunate in that I have had the opportunity to work alongside some amazing bartenders, spirit producers, authors, and educators, from around the globe. While Ann and I have mixed emotions, we are excited about the next chapter in our lives, and look forward to watching the event continue to evolve and flourish,” said Paul G. Tuennerman. So congrats and best of luck to Melissa Young.  She’s a super nice and smart lady and it will be very interesting to see what the future brings for TOTC as the baton is passed to the next generation!   Toast of the Week: May we get what we want, May we get what we need, But may we never get what we deserve.
