What started out as a blog, has now morphed into one of the largest, most influential independent media platforms in the world. Michael and Lauryn Bosstick launched Dear Media back in 2018 and together they host the flagship show on the platform: The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast. The show explores different conversations around wellness, business, beauty, and lifestyle, while layering in the charming and inspiring nature of Michael & Lauryn's relationship.
We were excited to connect with Michael because he has partnered with his wife to build a truly unique and special media business that has helped spread a positive message around becoming the best version of yourself. Michael has spearheaded a lot of the behind the scenes growth of the platform by brokering deals with new podcasts and brands. As you'll hear in the show, Michael did not take a conventional road to the media world. He first started out in real estate and then had a successful stint in the aviation business, building JetBed with his father. Our interest in having Michael on the show stemmed from learning more about the successful habits he has built over the years to perform at a high-level and create the life he wanted for himself. In our conversation we discussed:
The destructive nature of dating apps and pornography on men
Building successful habits to run multiple businesses while being a great father & husband
The principals of a healthy relationship & the secrets to building a lasting relationship
Lessons he wants to pass down to his children & how to be a leader a role model for his kids
How to radically improve your life through transforming your health
Michael's favorite books & resources and why reading has unlocked so much value in his life
We hope you enjoy this conversation and if you get value out of it, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify 😊
