Ep 85: The Key to Life Membership: Making It Meaningful

Who actually deserves life membership? Is it the dedicated volunteer who's been a fixture at the club for years or the long-lost legend who hasn’t been seen since the ‘90s? And what happens when life membership becomes more about politics than recognition? Worse still—what if a life member turns against the club?

In this episode, Michael and Steve dive deep into the world of life membership, unpacking the common pitfalls that turn an honour into a headache. They explore how clubs can avoid messy disputes, ensure life membership is awarded fairly and create a recognition system that stands the test of time. Whether your club is dealing with outdated rules, unclear criteria or a life member who’s suddenly turned against you, this episode is packed with insights to help you get it right—without the drama.

Ep 83: The Devil You Know: Why Clubs Resist Change—and How to Break Through the Resistance

Are you tired of your club being stuck dancing with the ‘devil you know’? Michael and Steve are here to show you why clinging to 'the way it's always been' might be dragging your club down—and how to flip the script!

In this episode, the Basket Case Bros get real about what’s holding clubs back—fear of change, volunteer burnout and the infamous ‘devil you know’ mentality. Clubs that stay too comfortable risk missing the boat on a brighter, sustainable future. So, what does it take to step off the high horse of tradition and rethink the way we operate?

Get ready to hear strategies for tackling resistance, easing the burden on volunteers and building a model that’s less 'barely holding on' and more 'thriving and growing.' If you’re ready to lead the charge, join us as we break down what’s working, what’s not and how to finally let go of the 'we’ve always done it this way' mindset.
