Goodbye VisibleGains, Hello World

This week, my boss at VisibleGains had a difficult “talk” with me. It’s the one that ends with me not working at VisibleGains anymore. In this economy, I’m not the only one who’s been affected by cost-cutting measures. It’s a sucky conversation to have – no matter what side of the table you’re on. I was suprised to hear that I’d been let go due to budget concerns, and I was a little angry at first. But, that went away pretty quickly.

Now, I’m focused on finding my next big gig. For those of you dear readers that know me well, you know I’ve been running hard with VisibleGains for the past two years. Now that my schedule has recently cleared up, I have a wide open road in front of me. Yes – it’s scary not to have the security of a full time job. But, I have more freedom to reconnect with friends and family and spend more time blogging and making new connections outside of the video marketing space. I’m looking forward to getting my head up out of the day to day and being able to survey the landscape a little more broadly.

I won’t be checking my work email that much going forward, please reach me at mmamet [at] gmail [dot] com. I’m always available on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn too. That won’t change.

Thanks to everyone at VisibleGains. Everyone. You’ve all taught, guided, mentored, and helped me over the past two years. I am so lucky to have been able to work alongside an exceptionally smart, talented, and hard-working team. I look forward to staying in close contact with you guys for a long, long time. There’s no doubt in my mind I’ll soon be seeing all of you soon at a Tweetup, event, or conference in the Boston-area. We’re all lucky to live and work in such a great tech hub that’s rich with talent, ideas, and innovation.

See you all out there . . . .
