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? Drawing from years of research inside elite teams, thriving communities, and high-performing organizations, Dan explains why nobody flourishes alone — and how modern life has quietly pulled us away from the connection we’re biologically wired for. 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.
