S13 E7 Virtual Communication is Broken—Here’s How to Fix It with Prof. Andrew Brodsky 45:04

16 days ago45:04

45:04

Most people think virtual communication is just about choosing between email, Slack, or Zoom. But according to Prof. Andrew Brodsky, an expert in virtual communication and Top 40 Under 40 MBA Professor, that’s dead wrong. In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Andrew to unpack why digital conversations fail, how to build trust and rapport remotely, and why “in-person bias” can actually hurt productivity. Andrew’s expertise isn’t just academic—his personal journey battling cancer as a teenager forced him to master virtual communication long before it became the norm. He breaks down the science of digital dialogue, the cultural impact of different communication platforms, and the small tweaks that make a massive difference in how you’re perceived online. If you’re leading a remote team, closing deals over Zoom, or just want to avoid being that person on Slack, this episode is a must-listen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Most founders chase funding. Maura Duggan didn’t. Instead, she took a completely different path, scaling Fancypants Baking Co. into a national brand—all without venture capital, an MBA, or a safety net. On this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Maura to unpack how her neuroscience background shaped her approach to consumer psychology, product development, and brand strategy. But it wasn’t all science and strategy—she also had to survive near bankruptcy, a brutal learning curve in the food industry, and the pressures of building a business while raising a family.

Does deep work truly boost productivity, or is it just another overhyped trend? This week on FOMO Sapiens, Patrick J. McGinnis checks in with Molly Sonsteng and Jeremy Redleaf, co-founders of Caveday, a company that claims to help people work smarter, not harder. They discuss how their productivity method has evolved from in-person sessions in Soho to a global online movement—but does it actually deliver results? We examine real data, success stories, and counterarguments, including why some people find deep work ineffective or unsustainable. Plus, we explore the psychology behind the focus, whether deep work benefits everyone (including neurodivergent individuals), and what the skeptics have to say. If you’ve ever felt like productivity hacks don’t work for you, tune in for a candid conversation about what helps—and what doesn’t—when it comes to getting things done.
