Patrick J. McGinnis, the host and creator of FOMO Sapiens, is an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, author, and speaker.

Patrick coined the terms FOMO and FOBO in 2003 when he was a student at Harvard Business School (fun fact, at the same time, Mark Zuckerberg was just across the Charles River inventing Facebook, which would help to bring FOMO to the masses – thanks, Mark!)

He is the author of the international bestsellers The 10% Entrepreneur: Live Your Startup Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job and Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice, and his TED Talk “How to Make Faster Decisions” has been viewed over a million times.
