About Patrick J. McGinnis

Originator of the term "FOMO"
International venture capitalist and author
Host of FOMO Sapiens podcast
Patrick McGinnis is the originator of the term "FOMO" (Fear of Missing Out), which he coined while studying at Harvard Business School. He brings unique expertise in decision-making psychology and entrepreneurial strategy to audiences worldwide.

As an international venture capitalist, Patrick has authored two influential books: "Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice" and "The 10% Entrepreneur: Live Your Startup Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job." He hosts the popular podcast FOMO Sapiens and introduced another widely used concept, "FOBO" (Fear of a Better Option).

Patrick helps organizations navigate complex decision landscapes by providing practical frameworks that combat choice paralysis. His research-backed strategies enable leaders to make confident choices in uncertain environments, while his entrepreneurial insights show teams how to pursue innovation without sacrificing stability or taking unnecessary risks.

Audiences leave Patrick's presentations with actionable decision-making tools they can immediately implement, a clearer understanding of how psychological biases affect business choices, and proven methods for balancing opportunity exploration with focused execution.

Book Patrick to transform how your organization approaches decisions and unlock the entrepreneurial potential within your team.
