Michael Bosstick: The Skinny Confidential, A Message to His Son, & The Habits for a Successful Life | MMP #229

Dear Media has become a media empire. 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 menBuilding successful habits to run multiple businesses while being a great father & husbandThe principals of a healthy relationship & the secrets to building a lasting relationshipLessons he wants to pass down to his children & how to be a leader a role model for his kidsHow to radically improve your life through transforming your healthMichael's favorite books & resources and why reading has unlocked so much value in his lifeWe hope you enjoy this conversation and if you get value out of it, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify 😊Link to Dear MediaLink to The Skinny Confidential Him & Her PodcastSome of Our Favorite Episodes of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast:Peter AttiaPaul SaladinoMark SissonDr. Will ColeLewis HowesChapters:00:00:00 - The Importance of Fitness and Wellness in Daily Life00:09:42 - The Importance of Mental and Physical Resilience00:19:15 - The Skill of Selling in Business00:28:33 - The Importance of Curiosity and Creating a Unique Experience00:37:54 - The Journey of Building a Podcast Business00:47:14 - Focus on Servicing People00:56:53 - Navigating Relationships and Distractions01:06:46 - Finding Purpose in Family01:16:34 - The Importance of Real World Preparation01:25:53 - Interview with gratitudeConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFold App - Earn Bitcoin on all of your purchases by using the Fold Debit Card - it's simple, easy, and a fun way to earn bitcoin as you spend money on healthy foods!
