Re-XPLANE-ing XPLANE
In my last post, I promised renewed posting and big news. Well, the news I have is big all right, but it isn't what I was expecting to share. Last week, I was laid off from XPLANE, along with six others. Though I'll continue my relationship with XPLANE as a contractor -- doing about the same amount of work as before -- I'm now free to, ahem...as they say, "Explore new opportunities."
Apart from my continued work for XPLANE, which I love, here's what else is on my plate for the next 30 days:
Apart from my continued work for XPLANE, which I love, here's what else is on my plate for the next 30 days:
1. Relaunching LexThink! with a "future of law practice" event in Chicago this fall. Look for more here next week.
2. Rebuilding my legal speaking and retreat facilitation business. I've always been a pseudo-regular on the legal speaking circuit, but I've recently been focusing on big-picture legal innovation topics. I just returned from a retreat I designed, facilitated and keynoted for a practice group of a major international firm and will expand and formalize my offerings (under the LexThink brand) before the end of the month. If you want an "Innovational Speaker" for your event, give me a ring.
3. Reviving the blog. I'm going to re-focus my energies on the [non]billable hour, and finally put together all those long-promised posts that have been living in my Moleskine or my head for the last year. Look for several dozen posts in June, as well as my oft-promised e-book on August 1.
4. Reconnecting with you. I've met so many amazing people through this blog, and I'm sorry for losing touch. Forgive me. It is good to be back.
Fantasic!
Love this blog, so glad to see you will be writing more!

More Lexthink! More Matt! More of both in Chicago! Now those are things to look forward to.
Glad to hear you can still do the work you love with XPlane while also doing more with the blog and the speaking circuit.

I'm sure great things are on the horizon Matt. Will be nice to see LexThink doing more. I'd like to attend the event in Chicago this fall, especially if it's free!

Matt, congratulations on being able to do more of the things you love to do. I'm especially looking forward to more blog posts.
