Clubhouse is an exclusive, audio-only social network where people can spontaneously jump into voice chat rooms together, but they can get it only by invitation. It has less than 4 thousand members around the world, including musicians like Drake, Jared Leto, Estelle, 21 Savage and Lupe Fiasco. Clubhouse is about connecting people via audio, only. So, once inside, users can eavesdrop on, or join in with, conversations that are already happening, or start one of their own. Complex tried it out, says it "has the potential to be a fun platform to engage celebrities about their interests, talk music with like-minded people, or even get a beat placed". Clubhouse founders say they’re working on making it available to the public as quickly as possible.

Thus their expectations of their daily lives have changed. But it’s not just about going to work sooner; it’s about wanting to have an impact once they are there. They have more power in the palm of their hand than any generation in history – and it’s power to influence, to understand and to do good".
