What Happens When You Fire Yourself? This Lawyer was Sick of Being Tangled Up in the Grind

What happens when a successful bankruptcy lawyer realizes the career he built is burning him out—again? In this episode, **Patrick Patino**, host of *The Newfangled Lawyer*, opens up about his journey from repeated burnout in bankruptcy law to building a life centered on creativity, community, and intentional boundaries. After hitting the wall more than once, Patrick made a radical decision: he “fired himself.” Instead of doubling down on grind culture, he chose pottery classes, tattoo gatherings, and honest conversations. This conversation is for lawyers who are tired of feeling trapped by expectations—both external and self-imposed. We explore: Why burnout keeps happening (and why pushing through isn’t the answer) The power of firm boundaries—no weekend work, no late-night emails How creativity can reconnect you with yourself outside the law Building real community instead of surface-level networking Redefining what it actually means to be a lawyer 🎙 Subscribe for more conversations helping lawyers build fulfilling careers—and lives—beyond the billable hour.
