00:00:10.441 --> 00:00:17.493
Today's episode is number 274.5, the Dark Side of Member Voting at Your Club.

00:00:17.493 --> 00:00:20.225
This is an episode I got to do.

00:00:20.225 --> 00:00:22.652
This is a unique episode.

00:00:22.652 --> 00:00:25.057
I find this very fascinating.

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:48.192
We talked with Paul Dank over at ASG Investigations Member Voting and he shares their unique approach to background checks and research and how they use public record information, open source information, and how all of that really reveals kind of crucial details about people who might be trying to join your club.

00:00:48.192 --> 00:00:52.359
This is stuff that can't be found in just a normal Google search.

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.128
We dive into the importance of evaluating a member's values.

00:00:56.128 --> 00:01:05.656
One of the bigger topics Paul emphasizes is the need for clubs to adapt to the changing times and how they conduct their due diligence.

00:01:05.656 --> 00:01:11.352
One of the main points is how the limitations of most clubs member vetting process.

00:01:11.352 --> 00:01:17.248
it allows the applicant to control most of the information in the process.

00:01:17.248 --> 00:01:37.111
Paul just tells some really cool juicy findings and stuff that you find out about potential members, such as someone who tried to join a club and they end up finding they sued the past three clubs that they've been members of, but it was in different states, something like that.

00:01:37.111 --> 00:01:39.460
It was pretty crazy, but there are stories like that.

00:01:39.921 --> 00:01:42.507
In this episode we talk about the art of vetting.

00:01:42.507 --> 00:01:50.611
We explore the real nitty gritty of club member vetting, what it really entails, because there really is a whole art to it.

00:01:50.611 --> 00:02:00.805
Google only represents 5% of the internet and there's 95% more out there that people don't even search or really even know exists.

00:02:00.805 --> 00:02:14.348
Part of the conversation we have is around the web of connections and the club culture and the information that they pick up about these potential applicants around the internet and put those pieces together and then give you the information.

00:02:14.348 --> 00:02:28.552
So just putting the pieces together and showing the data of who they might be related to or who they are related to or maybe what different organizations or political campaigns that they have donated to.

00:02:28.552 --> 00:02:34.902
But my favorite is really just hearing the stories about what people try to hide or what they lie about and get caught.

00:02:34.902 --> 00:02:36.848
for I think it's a fun episode.

00:02:36.848 --> 00:02:38.151
I think you'll enjoy it.

00:02:38.151 --> 00:02:39.152
Worth the listen.

00:02:39.152 --> 00:02:46.103
