S14 E28 What VC Investors Won't Tell You About Getting Funded, with Charlie O’Donnell

Thu, 07 May 2026 17:03:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Charlie O'Donnell, founder of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures and author of Founder Unfriendly: What Investors Won't Tell You About Getting Funded, for one of the most practical and honest conversations about venture capital you're likely to hear. Charlie has spent more than two decades inside the New York startup ecosystem, starting as the first analyst at Union Square Ventures, helping open First Round Capital's NYC office, and going on to invest in over 100 companies through Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, the first venture fund based in Brooklyn. In this conversation, he dismantles some of the most persistent myths about fundraising: what "interested" actually means from a VC, why rejection is data and not a verdict, how to time-bind a process to create real urgency, and how to shape the conversations investors have after you leave the room. If you've ever wondered why a seemingly weaker startup got funded while yours didn't, this episode has the answer.

S14 E27 Jon McNeill: The Algorithm Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:35:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Jon McNeill, former President of Tesla, former COO of Lyft, and CEO of DVx Ventures, to unpack the operating system behind one of the most extraordinary growth stories in business history. During McNeill's tenure at Tesla, revenue grew from $2 billion to $20 billion in just 30 months. That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident — it follows a system. In his new book, The Algorithm: The Hypergrowth Formula That Transformed Tesla, Lululemon, General Motors, and SpaceX, McNeill lays out the five-step framework Elon Musk built at Tesla: question every requirement, delete every unnecessary step, simplify and optimize, accelerate cycle time, and only then automate. The conversation gets into how established companies like GM used these same principles to build the Hummer EV in roughly half the expected time, why speed is an advantage that shows up most powerfully on the balance sheet, and how the one-way/two-way door framework can help any leader make faster, smarter decisions without second-guessing themselves into paralysis.

S14 E26 B2B Sales Guru Rob Snyder on The Real Physics Behind Sales

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:50:00 -0000

Sales isn’t about persuasion, and that misunderstanding is what keeps most founders stuck. In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick talks with Rob Snyder, a serial B2B founder, Harvard Business School alum, and venture partner, to break down what actually drives revenue in zero-to-one startups. Rob shares how two years of brutal rejection forced him to unlearn everything business school taught him about sales, and how discovering real demand (instead of trying to create it) unlocked rapid growth. Together, they unpack why founders over-invest in product and pitch decks, why customers don’t want to be convinced, and how the best sales conversations feel effortless. If you’ve ever built something you believed in, only to find no one buying, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about sales, demand, and product-market fit.

S14 E25 Liz Tran on AQ: The New Intelligence for a World That Won't Stop Changing

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:08:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Liz Tran, founder of Inner Genius and author of AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing, to explore a simple but urgent idea: in a world defined by constant disruption, IQ and EQ are no longer enough. What we need now is AQ, the Agility Quotient, which Liz defines as your capacity to handle change, disappointment, and uncertainty. Drawing on a decade of work with over 200 founders and executives, Liz breaks down the four AQ archetypes — the Astronaut, the Firefighter, the Neurosurgeon, and the Novelist — and explains what each one looks like at its best and worst. The conversation gets into how AI is leveling the IQ playing field, why the most impressive résumés can actually signal lower AQ, and how the real divide in today's world isn't political or economic — it's between the people who are undone by change and the people who know how to use it.

S14 E24 Tracy Anderson on Why Integrity Outlasts Glamour

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:38:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with wellness pioneer Tracy Anderson to explore what it takes to build something that actually endures in an industry built on trends. Tracy reflects on her 25-year journey, from pioneering a research-driven approach to movement in the late 90s to watching a flood of imitators cash in on simpler versions of her life's work. She explains why she never pursued celebrity clients, how authenticity and truth-telling became the foundation of her brand, and why the wellness industry's obsession with quick fixes, protein hacks, and longevity optimization is, in her view, just FOMO in a lab coat. The conversation also tackles creative protection as a moral issue, the difference between glamour and real beauty, and why living the questions, rather than chasing the answers, is the only path to results that last.

S14 E23 How to Remain Human in the Age of AI, with Florence Shaffer

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Florence Shaffer, the founder and CEO of Becoming, a human performance company that helps leaders navigate sustained complexity without losing themselves in the process. Florence spent more than 20 years leading digital transformation inside global brands, including Burberry and Estée Lauder, before turning her lens inward, to the hidden constraints that quietly distort how high-achievers think, decide, and live. The conversation centers on a counterintuitive idea: that the defining risk of the AI era isn't machines replacing humans, but humans increasingly behaving like machines: deferring decisions, optimizing obsessively, and losing their grip on what actually matters. Florence shares three core capabilities she believes will determine who thrives in this next era: stability of the nervous system, clarity of orientation, and commitment to a direction. If you've ever felt successful on paper but hollow underneath, this episode will help you understand why and what to actually do about it.

In this conversation, Patrick talks with Matt Beall, Chairman and CEO of Bealls Inc., one of America's oldest retail chains and one of the first national retailers to accept cryptocurrency at checkout. Matt is also a prominent figure in the Buttcoin community, a memecoin born from a 2011 internet joke that has grown into something far more serious than its name suggests.

They also talk about the rise of $FOMO, a new memecoin that has kept Patrick busy learning about memecoins himself. Matt also shares his perspective on Buttcoin's trajectory, what it takes for a memecoin community to build genuine staying power, and why real-world commitment matters in a space that most people still dismiss as chaos.

S14 E21 The Wellness Industry’s Biggest Blind Spot, with Chris Wharton

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 17:22:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Chris Wharton, to unpack what’s broken in the modern longevity and wellness industry. Chris argues that while interest in healthspan is exploding, the conversation is being driven by oversimplification, misinformation, and loud voices rather than rigorous science. He explains why there is no such thing as a single “longevity expert,” why biology is deeply individual, and why chasing hacks before mastering fundamentals is a losing game. Together, they explore the real drivers of long-term health, the danger of health FOMO, and why majoring in the “majors” — movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, and human connection — matters more than any trend, supplement, or biohack. This episode is a sober, science-first reset for anyone overwhelmed by modern wellness advice and looking for signal instead of noise.

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick welcomes back Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable, to discuss his newest book, Beyond Belief. The conversation starts with a paradox we all recognize: we know exactly what to do, yet we don’t do it. Nir explains why the missing piece isn’t discipline or motivation, but belief. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and personal experience, he introduces a powerful framework showing how belief shapes attention, anticipation, and agency, and how those forces quietly determine what we see, feel, and do. Patrick and Nir explore limiting beliefs, extremist certainty, and why nuance is a competitive advantage in a polarized world. They also examine how beliefs function not as truths, but as tools—and how choosing better tools can unlock better decisions, healthier relationships, and more focused lives. This episode is a practical and philosophical guide to reclaiming agency in an age of distraction, outrage, and endless information.

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author of The Culture Code, The Talent Code, and his new book Flourish, to explore a deceptively simple question: why do so many high achievers still feel empty?

The conversation spans leadership, anxiety, attention, and the difference between building a “machine” and cultivating a “garden.” Patrick and Dan break down practical ideas leaders can apply immediately, from the power of saying “I screwed that up,” to the difference between mowing the lawn and tending the greenhouse. This is an optimistic, grounded episode about how to reclaim energy, meaning, and growth — at work, at home, and in everyday life.

The conversation turns deeply practical as Sahil shares his philosophy on time, boundaries, and decision-making. This episode is a masterclass in long-term thinking: how to protect your time, preserve your energy, and make decisions that compound over a lifetime instead of optimizing for the next hit of validation.

S10 Ep13. Suneel Gupta on Discovering Your Everyday Dharma

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0000

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, host Patrick McGinnis welcomes special guest Suneel Gupta, author of the book "Everyday Dharma", who shares his experience of writing his first book while working in private equity, dedicating just 30 minutes a day to writing.

Suneel's new book, "Everyday Dharma," is a guide to making ancient wisdom relevant to the modern world, and applicable to our daily lives. Gupta discusses the concept of wisdom being sought after throughout history, emphasizing the importance of finding equanimity, or space, between being triggered and responding.

Throughout the conversation, we highlight "Opeka," which focuses on finding comfort in discomfort. He shares an analogy of a prickly porcupine to illustrate how we can navigate challenging situations in life, and stresses the importance of taking a moment of reflection before reacting to difficult circumstances.

The conversation delves into the works of Victor Frankl, particularly his book "Man's Search for Meaning." Gupta and Patrick discuss how previous generations viewed and pursued meaning in their lives through financial success, while younger generations are prioritizing meaning over money. They explore how integrating ancient wisdom into our lives doesn't mean giving up ambition or financial success, but rather examining whether material possessions truly bring fulfillment.

Suneel encourages self-inquiry and avoiding reaching old age with regrets about not living life differently. He shares the story of Karen, a nurse who brought her passion for writing into her job without leaving it, demonstrating that approaching life differently can be achieved within existing circumstances.

The discussion also touches on the concept of FOMO (fear of missing out) and how external desires and accumulation of wealth often fail to bring internal fulfillment. Suneel also introduces the "arrival fallacy," the belief that reaching a certain point of accumulation or success will bring complete fulfillment, which he argues is a flawed notion.

The episode explores the importance of self-awareness and avoiding impulsive actions, as well as the societal pressure to respond quickly in every communication channel. Gupta questions the urgency of immediate responses and suggests that decision-making power should be placed at the beginning to determine if a situation truly requires an immediate response or if it can be addressed later.

S10 Ep11. The Founders of theSkimm on Building a Company People Want to Work for

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:57:00 -0000

Today on FOMO Sapiens we delve into the remarkable story of how the founders of theSkimm, Carly and Danielle, built a company that people not only want to work for, but also rely on for trusted information and guidance.

From its humble beginnings, theSkimm has grown alongside its initial audience, adapting to their changing needs and evolving into a multi-faceted platform that covers personal finance, health, family, and purchasing decisions.

The driving force behind theSkimm's focus on millennial women is their recognition of this demographic's immense economic influence and their belief that these women are the most important customers to cater to.

Recognized as a necessary resource for navigating the complexities of adulthood, theSkimm has become a trusted companion, helping women make informed decisions in various aspects of their lives.

As the company grows, it eagerly embraces a new generation of women, understanding that their experiences and decisions will shape the future direction of the company.

But, like any successful venture, theSkimm had its humble beginnings. Carly and Danielle made a pivotal decision to quit their jobs at a young age, a decision that still fills them with unease even after 11 years of running their company. Fuelled by a passion for the news business, they faced countless challenges to break into the industry, including entering the job market during the Great Recession, where stable jobs were hard to come by. Working in media during a downturn meant financial sacrifices, but it also fueled their determination to make their mark.

What sets Carly and Danielle apart is their unique dynamic and magical working relationship as friends and business partners. Starting a business with a friend may be seen as unwise, but they defy conventional wisdom and credit their successful partnership to their shared passion, trust, and the ability to address potential conflicts from the outset.

Observing the changing landscape of the news industry, Carly and Danielle realized there was a lack of focus on their demographic, young women who were increasingly leading and making purchasing decisions. Sensing an opportunity to fill this void, they embarked on a mission to create a source of trusted information specifically targeted towards women.

Maintaining a strong brand ethos and voice has been instrumental in engaging and retaining theSkimm's audience. The company's brand has evolved over time, incorporating fresh perspectives and ideas to ensure relevancy and resonance with its diverse audience. Recognizing the importance of driving change and reaching a wider target audience, The Skimm understands the need to bring in new voices to continuously enhance their brand.

In addition to their entrepreneurial spirit and hunger for growth, Carly and Danielle are staunch advocates for policies that support women in the workforce. They have implemented progressive policies within the company, including paid family leave, unlimited vacation days, improved healthcare benefits, and childcare coverage. Recognizing the needs of their predominantly female workforce, they have partnered with companies like VV to provide comprehensive childcare support.

However, The Skimm's mission extends beyond its own workforce. They have launched impactful campaigns like "Show US Your Leave" and "Show US Your Childcare" to address the lack of support for families in terms of paid family leave and childcare. Through transparent sharing of policies, they have catalyzed positive change in hundreds of companies, wagering that supporting families ultimately benefits both employees and businesses.

Get ready for a thrilling ride on the FOMO Sapiens Podcast! For this episode, we sit down with Jennifer Wallace, the mastermind behind 'Never Enough.' Together, we're diving deep into the culture of toxic achievement that has us all in a chokehold.

Jennifer opens up about her journey to break free from the 'yes' trap, showing us how crafting personal policies in line with our values can be a game-changer.

Our conversation kicks off with a bang as we ask Jennifer about the defining moment that led her to where she is today. Brace yourself for her revelation: setting clear values and personal policies.

She admits to struggling with saying 'no,' but these policies not only helped her write her book but also transformed her into a boundary-setting rockstar. Plus, it turns out people love her even more for it!

Digging deeper, we ask for real-life examples of how she lives by these policies. Jennifer dishes out her experience as a parent juggling the demands of schools that thrive on parental involvement. Her solution? Only volunteer where she can interact directly with her kids, freeing up time for her freelance work. Jennifer explains how personal policies eliminate decision fatigue and give her the unbreakable power of conviction.

But wait, there's more! We grill Jennifer on how to keep these policies from turning into rigid rules. Her secret? Most policies guard her work time, creating pockets of uninterrupted focus for research and writing. Oh, and she's got a ceramic tiger as a reminder – it's like a guardian of boundaries. She even shares tiger pics with her friends to nudge them to protect their limits.

And the grand finale? Jennifer's book, 'Never Enough.' She spills the beans on what inspired her: the madness of 2019. From high school anxiety to college scandals and her own Washington Post article on stressed-out students, she had to investigate further. The result? A guide to help us all navigate the unhealthy pursuit of achievement.

With 'Never Enough,' Jennifer peels back the layers of a society obsessed with success at any cost. Her journey and research offer crucial insights and strategies to break free from the toxic achievement trap. So, tune in to the FOMO Sapiens Podcast and discover how to prioritize your well-being and values in a world that always demands more."

Welcome to another episode of FOMO Sapiens, where we uncover the strategies, insights, and stories that will help you amplify your performance and maximize your impact.

In this exciting episode, we dive deep into the concept of the Performance Paradox with the brilliant and transformative speaker and author Eduardo Briceño.

Eduardo recounts a pivotal moment in his life when he realized that his career in investment banking and venture capital was lacking meaning and purpose. Struck by a repetitive strain injury and facing the possibility of disability, Eduardo embarked on a journey to heal and redefine his approach to life. This led him to grad school and, ultimately, to the work he does today.

The discussion then delves into the Performance Paradox, an intriguing concept that challenges our conventional understanding of performance. Eduardo explains that fixating solely on performing actually hinders our results and stifles growth.

Drawing on research and real-life examples, he reveals that the best performers in any domain spend a significant amount of time in the learning zone, continuously working on improvement and embracing a growth mindset.

Patrick and Eduardo discuss the dangers of chronically focusing on performance without dedicating enough time to learning and growth and also touch upon the common misconception that success is directly proportional to the number of hours worked, debunking the myth that more time equals better results.

We also discuss Eduardo’s new book, "The Performance Paradox." This exciting read challenges traditional notions of success and offers practical strategies for embracing the learning zone and achieving meaningful results. Packed with real-world examples and compelling research, Eduardo's book is a must-read for anyone striving to thrive in today's fast-paced, competitive world.

Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation and discover how you can break free from the Performance Paradox, unlock your potential, and lead a more fulfilling and impactful life.

S10 Ep8. MIT’s Zeynep Ton on How to Create Good Jobs

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 13:00:00 -0000

Welcome to a brand-new episode of FOMO Sapiens. In this episode, host Patrick McGinnis sits down with accomplished MIT Sloan School of Management Professor and best-selling author Zeynep Ton. Zeynep's extensive research and expertise in creating sustainable, successful companies that offer good jobs will captivate and inspire you. Ton's big idea from her first book "The Good Jobs Strategy" is that providing good jobs is a choice, even for low-cost retailers. It challenges the conventional wisdom that low wages and high turnover are necessary for profitability. Instead, Zeynep argues that these practices are more expensive than we may think. Her latest book delves deeper into the reasons why companies should make the choice to offer good jobs and provides practical insights on how to do so. Throughout the episode, Zeynep explores two key lessons that she has discovered through her research. Firstly, she reveals that paying employees low wages and operating with high turnover can actually cost companies more in the long run by generating hidden costs like lost sales and low productivity. Zeynep presents compelling evidence that changing to a good job system is not only less risky than commonly believed, but also yields positive financial returns. Zeynep also emphasizes that creating a good job system isn't just about human resources - it's about winning in business. She underscores the importance of investing in people, paying them enough, so they can focus on their jobs, and positioning your teams for success. Elements such as meaningful work, respect for employees' time, and trust in their decision-making abilities are key components of a good job. This approach not only benefits the workers but also increases productivity and contributes to overall company success. In the episode, Zeynep acknowledges the changing nature of the workforce due to advancements in AI and automation. She expresses concern about the prevailing belief that people can easily be retrained for different jobs, and highlights the pressure on employers and companies to respond to technological disruptions while still creating good jobs. She believes that technology doesn't happen to us; we have agency in how we respond to it. Drawing from real-world examples, Zeynep showcases how companies can adapt to a good job system and thrive in the face of change. One such example is Sam's Club, Walmart's wholesale club. Before 2017, Sam's Club was underperforming and falling behind Costco. However, a new CEO implemented key changes, including investing in employees by raising wages and implementing stable schedules. Reducing product variety also improved employee productivity and customer satisfaction. By leveraging technology to enhance and empower employees, companies can create better jobs and increase customer value. Zeynep reveals that even business school professors are at the forefront of exploring how capitalism can be improved. The rise of mission-driven companies allows customers to align their values with the businesses they support. Zeynep emphasizes that customers have a role to play in the conversation about what good jobs should look like. This engaging episode also explores the power of entrepreneurship and starting from scratch to create great companies. Zeynep shares the story of Jim Synagel, who started Costco in Seattle 40 years ago. By paying double the industry average for employees, Costco built a great team and achieved remarkable success. The key, Zeynep argues, is having conviction and creating a strong system from the beginning. Join us for this thought-provoking episode, that challenges the status quo and offers practical strategies for companies to embrace the good job model. Discover how companies can thrive in a changing world and create sustainable growth while prioritizing their most valuable asset - their employees. Don't miss out on this insightful conversation!

Whether we're trying to lose weight, save money, or excel in our careers, the principles of scarcity can help us achieve our goals with less stress and more success.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of choices in your life, or you're simply looking for a new approach to achieving your goals, this episode is a must-listen. So tune in to FOMO Sapiens and discover the power of scarcity with Mindy Weinstein.

S8 Ep17. Hypnosis: The Facts, The Fiction, & The Benefits

Thu, 29 Dec 2022 09:00:00 -0000

What comes to mind when you think of hypnosis? Some poor fool in a spotlight quacking like a duck who will have no memory of it later in the night? Or guided meditation with a specific outcome in mind? Brooklyn-based hypnosis and regression therapist Daniel Ryan explains the stark contrast between meaningful hypnotherapy and flashy stage show hypnotism and how, as the son of a clinical psychologist trained in hypnotism by the US military in the 1950s, he spent a lifetime learning to spot the differences.

Daniel discusses how hypnotherapy is used not as a magic wand to erase bad habits and memories but as a therapeutic tool to change thinking and behavior. Often misunderstood and misconstrued, hypnotherapy can be used to break bad habits or to overcome personal challenges; Daniel explains how hypnotism leverages pre-existing trance tendencies, not to relinquish a subject’s control, but to help them regain it.

Set out to share his knowledge and help those who want to help themselves, Daniel’s practice helps people address a variety of issues ranging from overcoming general or social anxiety and signs of depression, managing stress at work and the pressures of family, to personal trauma and grief management.

Some people confuse comfort with complacency. Award-winning writer, speaker, and brand advisor Terri Trespicio, however, does not. Following the publication of her new book, Unfollow Your Passion, Terry discusses why her TedX Talk “Stop Searching for Your Passion” was so hugely popular that it has been viewed more than 7 million times while dispelling the idea that following a passion is the only path to a fulfilling or meaningful life.

Terri explores the process of how we identify goals, how we define passion, and why you don’t have to embrace a lifetime outside of your comfort zone in order to create a life that matters. Terry explains how to evaluate your passion or goals: by determining if you are subscribing to the agendas of others and conforming to society’s “ideas” of what success looks like or if you are truly driven by personal desire for meaning and fulfillment.

22. Psychedelic Psychotherapy: Innovating the Future of Mental Wellness with Kelsey Ramsden

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 05:01:00 -0000

March is Women’s History Month and we will be featuring some outstanding female FOMO Sapiens on the podcast all month long for a special break between seasons.

Kelsey Ramsden has taken her over 15 years of expertise funding, scaling, and operating businesses across Canada and the Caribbean and applied it to her innovative new company, Mind Cure Health, which aims to change the way we understand, apply, and optimize psychedelic and digital therapeutics.

Kelsey explains how her own personal experience with psychedelics in a clinical setting helped her overcome the challenges that plagued her throughout her life, baseless feelings of never being enough or the unnecessary compulsion to over-justify herself and her ideas. Inspired by her own personal improvement, Kelsey no longer felt the need to prove herself to others or be held to some imaginary unattainable standard but rather set out to help provide access to this alternative treatment to the world. Facing not only cultural but legal and regulatory challenges, Kelsey explains how her company promotes long-term healing while providing vital resources for researchers, clinicians, and patients alike.

There has been a long understanding in society that for an artist or any type of creative to be successful, they must “starve,” that they don’t deserve to reap the success of their hard work during their lifetime, that perhaps their creative and artistic contributions are not deserving of financial rewards.

31. Where Skill Ends & Chance Begins with Maria Konnikova

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Not many people can say they became a professional poker player while researching a book, but in Dr. Maria Konnikova’s case, she can. In her latest book My Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win, journalist and award-winning author Konnikova explains how her research into the science between luck, skill, randomness, and the myth that hard work always leads to success led her to become an international champion poker player.

Konnikova explores the significant overlap between the game of poke and the game of life and finds that it is often what determines success: skill and chance. When playing a game with incomplete information, while you cannot control the randomness of the shuffle, if you can identify where skill ends and chance begins, you can master the skills necessary to succeed.

Dr. Konnikova explains how by learning to identify the difference between what is skill and what is chance, we hone our strategic thinking, learning to master what we can control and release what we can’t.

Thu, 13 May 2021 04:01:00 -0000

Can a global pandemic provide a platform for change? If you are Kwame Owusu-Kesse, CEO of the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ), the answer is a resounding yes.

Comprehensive and strategic, Kwame’s plan, designed to serve the local Harlem community, was quickly scaled for national use.

Kwame explains how his journey as the child of Ghanaian immigrants was forever changed as the result of a little luck in a little church basement. He took that luck and turned it into opportunity and from that opportunity and hard work, Kwame has successfully transferred his experience in the private sector to benefit the public sector.

20. FOMO and ADHD

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Do you, a loved one, or any of your employees struggle with time management, organization, or decision-making? Does impatience triggers disproportionate anger responses? These could all be signs and symptoms of ADHD. George Sachs, a clinical psychologist specializing in ADHD, discusses how this neuro-developmental disorder may present in the workplace and how it is strongly linked to FOMO.

When you are hypersensitive to rejection and constantly seeking acceptance, you will inevitably lack the confidence in the decisions you make. Like FOMO, ADHD can make you feel like whatever it is that you are doing at the moment, isn’t enough and it could always be better, preventing you from being able to focus on your present life.

George discusses the implications of this disorder that often impairs executive function, negatively impacting both personal and professional relationships. However, George also provides a path for diagnosis and to develop the strategies through behavioral interventions to manage ADHD and help overcome FOMO.

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 05:02:00 -0000

Have you ever felt frustrated when trying to achieve a specific goal? Maybe you need to see success to achieve it.

Dr. Emily Balcentis, Professor of Social Psychology at NYU, whose TED Talk has surpassed 4 million views, explains the biology-brain connection between what you see and what you can actually get done, also known as Vision Science.

In her recent book, "Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World," Emily provides insights into how highly successful people tend to see the world differently and how their methods can be replicated.

One of the tactics is narrowing your focus of attention. Doing so makes goals start seeming more attainable. In return, it boosts your psychology, pumping confidence and gearing the body up to the challenge physiologically.

To conclude the show, Emily expands on other useful strategies and provides practical suggestions to use these powerful tactics in your business and everyday life.

Logan Ury, Director of Relationship Science for the dating app Hinge and author of "How to Not Die Alone" discusses the evolution of dating apps and their use during COVID-19 - a period during which most of us have felt more alone than ever.

She talks about how her background in behavioral psychology has helped her use data-driven evidence in her research of online dating and finding the key to a happy relationship.

She also gives us her take on the three common dating personas that people embody when looking for their "ideal" relationship: the romanticizer, the maximizer, and the hesitator. Logan and Patrick discuss how FOBO - or the "Fear of a Better Option" - can play a big role in how some people approach dating and how FOBO can also lead individuals down a never-ending search for that "perfect match."

Finally, Logan provides her take on how she thinks that dating will evolve in the future - from more video dating via apps to increased gender fluidity and types of dating among Gen Z daters.
