Neither of you is completely wrong. There are some truths in both opinions. Clubs and societies lets you learn about working life in terms of dealing with office dramas and politics, client expectation, communication skills etc. No need to be president also ok as long as got some experience. For Me a maximum of 2 semesters is enough to be an active club member.
Doing small business teaches you humility and various other qualities that clubs cant give. Both of these will impress interviewer too. Personally, I went both routes and both gave me great stories to share during interviews and great pointer in working life.

Being in a club, part of the committee, president, secretary, treasurer, etc... if you are active you gain skills that are useful later in your life, you host meetings, events, AGM etc.. being a sleeping member to put in CV, then it will bring nothing to the table.
Doing small business brings the entrepreneur skills out, thinking out of box, meeting people, etc... but if you sit in bedroom playing with mining, etc, then you probably not gaining much skills.
In life, its always about striking a balance and go for the best of both options.
