FOMO Sapiens with Patrick J. McGinnis

March is Women’s History Month and we will be featuring some outstanding female FOMO Sapiens on the podcast all month long for a special break between seasons. Some people confuse comfort with complacency. Award-winning writer, speaker, and brand advisor Terri Trespicio, however, does not. Following the publication of her new book, Unfollow Your Passion, Terry discusses why her TedX Talk “Stop Searching for Your Passion” was so hugely popular that it has been viewed more than 7 million times while dispelling the idea that following a passion is the only path to a fulfilling or meaningful life.Terri explores the process of how we identify goals, how we define passion, and why you don’t have to embrace a lifetime outside of your comfort zone in order to create a life that matters. Terry explains how to evaluate your passion or goals: by determining if you are subscribing to the agendas of others and conforming to society’s “ideas” of what success looks like or if you are truly driven by personal desire for meaning and fulfillment. Thanks to Our Partners:IndeedShopify Learn more about your ad choices.

March is Women’s History Month and we will be featuring some outstanding female FOMO Sapiens on the podcast all month long for a special break between seasons.Kelsey Ramsden has taken her over 15 years of expertise funding, scaling, and operating businesses across Canada and the Caribbean and applied it to her innovative new company, Mind Cure Health, which aims to change the way we understand, apply, and optimize psychedelic and digital therapeutics. Kelsey explains how her own personal experience with psychedelics in a clinical setting helped her overcome the challenges that plagued her throughout her life, baseless feelings of never being enough or the unnecessary compulsion to over-justify herself and her ideas. Inspired by her own personal improvement, Kelsey no longer felt the need to prove herself to others or be held to some imaginary unattainable standard but rather set out to help provide access to this alternative treatment to the world. Facing not only cultural but legal and regulatory challenges, Kelsey explains how her company promotes long-term healing while providing vital resources for researchers, clinicians, and patients alike.Thanks to Our Partners:IndeedShopify Learn more about your ad choices.
