Lauryn Bosstik had no backup plan when she started blogging, after college.  She was going to succeed at all costs, so she put in countless hours to make it work.   After three years, she started to make a good profit off of her blog, The Skinny Confidental.   Later, on a beach with her husband, they decided to do a podcast together.   The rest is history.    Everyone knows them from their wildly successful podcast but what they don't know is how many successful businesses they've build behind the scenes: Whether it's their massive podcast network, Dear Media, to their investments in dozens of startups.   They've been massively successful in the business, and social media, worlds and they share their story and some tips and inspiration to help us get there too.   Watch the full YouTube interview here.
