Ep. 87 Patrick McGinnis, Investor, Author, Speaker
Balancing the Exciting Entrepreneurship and Stable Traditional Career Path
On this episode of Investors & Operators, Jordan sits down with Patrick McGinnis, Managing Partner at Dirigo Advisors. Together, they discuss:
Growing up, finding one's purpose, and not being afraid to create a unique path through life
“The 10% Entrepreneur”, one of Patrick McGinnis’ latest takes on how to integrate entrepreneurship into a person’s traditional career path
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and how FOMO has further impacted people’s daily lives through technological advancement
...and so much more.
Patrick McGinnis, a public speaker, venture capitalist, author of two worldwide bestsellers, and entrepreneur, recently spoke with 51 Labs about his newest thoughts on the entrepreneurial environment and FOMO. Patrick discussed why he believes one of the simplest methods for someone to start his/her own business is to gradually transition into being entrepreneurial by contributing about 10% of his/her time and effort. Since coining the word FOMO in 2004, McGinnis has been working tirelessly to turn the FOMO mindsets into something that can drive and inspire people to reach greater success. Patrick discussed how FOMO is essentially the mindsets that stresses people out simply because everyone wants to accomplish everything and lives in a constant state of comparison with others. Patrick went on to address "outsourcing inconsequential decisions to the universe" in order to help listeners who fret over insignificant decisions rearrange their thinking and how they approach issues. Patrick's work continues inspiring positive environments for developing a healthy entrepreneurial culture and teaches how to use FOMO in a positive way to reach beyond your perceived limitations.
