Here's how to get around Clubhouse uploading contacts. We shouldn't have to do this, but here we are.

1. Disable contacts for all your configured accounts 2. Add a dummy Gmail account, enable contacts. 3. Add invitee to dummy account 4. Give contacts access to Clubhouse 5. Send invite 6. Remove contact access 7. enable contacts disabled in 1

0. Don't use Clubhouse because it adds no value?

When you run a business, you have to go where the people are. If my customers are there, I have to be there.

I’d think that depends on the business. What is the engagement like on clubhouse? Do you participate or just have a presence?
