FOMO FOMO FOMO with Patrick J. McGinnis

The Upreneur podcast has partnered up with SCORE, hosted by Jeremy Straub, to help bring engaging conversations with today’s top leaders and business owners. In today’s episode, we spoke with Patrick Mcginnes, Founder of FOMO.   We spoke about how Patrick coined the phase FOMO and what we can do to get past it. 

 Patrick J. McGinnis is a speaker, writer, international venture capitalist, and the investor of the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Patrick coined FOMO, as well as the related term FOBO (Fear of a Better Option) in a 2004 article in the student newspaper of Harvard Business School. FOMO has since been added to the dictionary and FOBO has become an increasingly popular framework to describe choice paralysis.

Patrick is the author of Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice, a global bestseller that has been translated into more than ten languages and his popular 2019 TED Talk on FOBO and decision-making that has surpassed 2 million views.

He is also the creator and host of the hit podcast FOMO Sapiens where he talks about FOMO and entrepreneurial decision-making with leaders in business, politics, and culture, including Jay Shetty, Martha Beck, Alec Ross, Josh Peck, Ian Schrager, Gretchen Rubin, Andrew Yang, and the Founders/CEOs of companies including TOMS, Bearaby, GrubHub, ClassPass, Zola, Magic Spoon, and Hint Water.

Patrick is also the author of international bestseller The 10% Entrepreneur: Live Your Startup Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job, a guide to part-time entrepreneurship that has  been translated in over ten languages.

He has been featured in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, New York, Good Morning America, NBC News, Politico, The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, Inc, and the upcoming documentary This is Not Financial Advice.
