Lauryn & Michael Bosstick

What started as a blog and a podcast became a blueprint for modern brand-building.

Over the past decade, Lauryn and Michael Bosstick have built businesses that reach millions of consumers and influence how people discover products, engage with content, and make purchasing decisions. Working side by side as both business partners and spouses, they have become two of the most recognizable entrepreneurs in the creator economy.

As Founder and CEO of Dear Media, Michael transformed an overlooked corner of podcasting into the largest podcast network for women, creating a platform for talent to grow far beyond audio. As Founder of The Skinny Confidential, Lauryn turned a lifestyle blog into a bestselling beauty brand whose products routinely generate waitlists and sell out within days.

Today, Lauryn and Michael share what they've learned from building businesses at the center of some of the biggest shifts in media and consumer culture.

  • Founder and CEO of Dear Media
  • Co-Host, 'The Bossticks' Podcast

Michael Bosstick is the Founder and CEO of Dear Media, the largest podcast network for women, leveraging its shows as springboards for talent to build broader brand ecosystems across commerce, live events, national tours and publishing. Dear Media pioneered the 360 model in the audio space, from audio and video production to distribution, monetization, live events and consumer brand extensions. It hosts 100 top-rated entertainment and pop culture shows led by talent like Khloé Kardashian, Amanda Hirsch and Jordin Sparks. 

Dear Media was founded in 2018 out of Michael’s experience co-hosting The Bossticks with his wife, Lauryn Bosstick. He realized there was very little representation in the women’s audio space and that podcast publishers solely focused on audio, ignoring talent’s other digital touchpoints and revenue opportunities.
