First Episode of ClubLIFE Podcast Now LIVE

Each new episode, to be released fortnightly, will delve into the pressing issues and latest trends in the club industry, and feature insightful conversations with industry leaders, experts and unique personalities within their field. 

The inaugural episode, released today, is hosted by ClubsNSW Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Darren Flynn, who speaks with ClubsNSW Chair Sallianne Faulkner about her new leadership role. 

Darren says he hopes the new ClubLIFE Podcast becomes a regular fixture on the playlists of club managers and directors. 

“There are so many fascinating characters working within the club industry, with decades of experience and knowledge to share,” says Darren. 

“So, it’s only fitting that we launch a podcast that can bring these individuals’ stories to life, and inform and educate other industry leaders in the process.” 

In the first episode, Sallianne shares fascinating insights from her unique career journey and some fun personal anecdotes, and discusses the importance of a sustainable future for the industry. 

“There is no denying that there will be a reduction of clubs across the coming years, but we also know how important they are to our communities,” Sallianne tells the ClubLIFE Podcast. 

“[It’s] so important for our club industry to continue providing places for our members to belong, to be safe and to be welcomed. 

“For me, it comes down to being transparent as a board around your thinking to what is a sustainable future and how do I get there.” 

The first episode can be found here. 

A link to each episode will be advertised fortnightly to member clubs, and available more broadly via popular podcast platforms including Apple and Spotify — simply search for ‘ClubLIFE Podcast’ wherever you stream your podcasts.
