\"\"<\/a>The metaverse sounds like something out of a Marvel movie, only it\u2019s real.\u00a0<\/span>Well, kind of.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

At a baseline level, the metaverse is a collection of self-contained virtual worlds, built around social connection. It\u2019s kind of like “Tron,” if “Tron” involved more paperwork.<\/p>\n

Part of the thesis of this podcast is that lawyers are late adopters of technology; but, that\u2019s not always<\/i> the case.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mitch Jackson of Jackson & Wilson is a forward-looking attorney, who is often ahead<\/i> of the curve, when it comes to legal tech.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

So, we had him on to discuss the metaverse.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In this episode of the NonEventcast, we talk all about the next virtual frontier for law firm owners.\u00a0We<\/span>\u00a0start by talking about what the metaverse means, and why lawyers should even care about it (3:41).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Mitch then covers how to set up a virtual office space in the metaverse (10:28), including how to build a professional avatar (17:56) \u2014 yes, you\u2019ll need one of those.\u00a0<\/span>Finally, Jared and Mitch wrap up by talking about how to stay connected with the people you meet in the metaverse (21:56).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for cheap office space, that you never have to clean, maybe the metaverse is for you!<\/p>\n
