What if you had that job? What if you were with that person? What if there’s a better option out there? If you find yourself asking these questions, Patrick McGinnis invented the term for what you’re experiencing: FOMO.
First coined by McGinnis in a piece published by the Harvard Business School newspaper, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) describes the anxiety we feel when thinking that other people are having more fun and living more fulfilling lives than we are. As McGinnis says, “We are constantly comparing ourselves to other people. We are seeing the options that are out there. And then we're saying, what I'm doing right now isn't good enough. I am missing out on something.”
In this podcast episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McGinnis explains how conscious decision-making can help us feel more sure of our choices and experience less anxiety about the options we pass up.
In this week's episode of our Building Biotechs Podcast, Carina and Alison had a fantastic conversation with two remarkable guests, Joe Daccache and Carl Schoellhammer.

They delve into the world of biotech strategy and discuss the valuable insights that aren't typically taught during a PhD but are essential for early founders and career-building. Join us for an engaging and informative episode filled with laughter and wisdom as they explore the intriguing aspects of the biotech industry. Don't miss out on this one!
