This week, Ash is joined by Patrick McGinnis, an international venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and the man who coined the terms FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and FOBO (Fear of a Better Option). Patrick brings a unique perspective to the conversation, helping us understand how these modern fears influence the choices we make in both our personal and professional lives.

Patrick and Ash dive deep into how our constant bombardment of choices, amplified by social media and marketing, can lead to decision fatigue and self-doubt. They explore how FOMO and FOBO manifest in everyday life and provide strategies to break free from the cycle of comparison and uncertainty. Patrick discusses how we can focus on making intentional, fulfilling decisions by embracing the present moment and understanding the trade-offs inherent in every choice we make. He also shares valuable insights into overcoming choice paralysis and finding peace in knowing that not every opportunity is the right one for you.

But that's not all. Patrick also introduces the concept of being a "10% entrepreneur" — someone who balances a steady job with entrepreneurial pursuits. This approach allows individuals to pursue passion projects without risking financial stability, while still investing time and energy into creating something meaningful. As the conversation unfolds, Patrick reflects on how this mindset not only applies to business but also to personal growth. From rediscovering your creative spark to learning how to invest in yourself, this episode provides actionable tools to help you make decisions that align with your long-term goals and lead to greater fulfillment.
