Summary
#959: Join us as we sit down with Whitney Wolfe Herd – Founder & CEO, Bumble Inc., a women-first relationship platform committed to fostering healthy relationships across dating, friendship, and community. Whitney launched Bumble to challenge outdated norms in dating and empower women to make the first move, making history as the youngest woman to take a company public in the US. In this episode, Whitney pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a category-defining company – from the relentless hustle and high-stakes pressure to navigating entrepreneurial burnout and redefining success on her own terms. She shares the wellness rituals that keep her grounded, how motherhood transformed her leadership, and what it really takes to build something impactful. Plus, she dives into the future of modern dating – and how Bumble is leveraging AI to create more intentional and meaningful human connections.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bostics, starring Lauren Bostic and Michael Bostic. Together, they are the Bostics. |
| 0:10.5 | Let's get the lay of the land. We were talking off there about you as a mother. I feel like you're asked so many business questions all the time and we'll get to that. |
| 0:17.7 | Three kids. Three kids. What is life really like for you behind the scenes with |
| 0:22.8 | three kids? Forget about the business for a second. Anna, as a wife. Probably what it's like for you. |
| 0:27.4 | I would imagine. So I have three kids, two boys. It's a hybrid of like a wrestling match at my house |
| 0:35.3 | all day long. I literally have never met anything in my life with more |
| 0:39.9 | energy than two brothers. It's unbelievable. And now I have a new baby girl. So that has brought |
| 0:45.4 | like so much harmony and peace. But my babies are everything. Like they are my number one. I'm |
| 0:51.6 | obsessed with them. I love being a mom. I just, I mean, I'm sure it's the same way you feel. It's just like they- The best. It's the best. It is the absolute best. But we're not at the stage because we went girl, boy, boy, and our youngest is only seven. So we haven't, like our middle is a ton of energy, but we haven't experienced the two brother energy yet. It's coming. Everyone that has two boys says it's coming. Yeah. Buckle. |
| 1:15.6 | What kind of little girl were you when you were growing up? Calm and creative. I was like |
| 1:21.1 | sit on the ground and draw all day long. Like very calm. So you weren't like, you, you weren't set up to be entrepreneurial. |
| 1:31.2 | Well, I don't know about that because I do think every entrepreneur is inherently |
| 1:36.8 | imaginative or creative. |
| 1:39.4 | I mean, that's kind of the foundation of being an entrepreneur. |
| 1:42.7 | You're a dreamer, right? |
| 1:46.0 | And all I wanted to do was kind of build these little imaginary worlds and draw them or bring them to life through art. |
| 1:52.5 | And so I do feel like I had an entrepreneurial kind of capacity. I was always obsessed with |
| 2:00.3 | creating things. I don't know if it was meant to be |
| 2:03.6 | in business or not, but I loved to make things and build things and create things. |
| 2:08.6 | With your own kids now, are you like leaning into that for them? |
| 2:13.6 | Kind of, actually. So it's funny, my son was begging me for a job because he wanted to save $200 for this, like, I'm very anti-technology for kids, like super scared of it. It terrifies me. But he wanted this like kid friendly. It basically only calls mom and dad and 911. He wanted to just make $200. |
| 2:35.2 | And so I've been trying to create, you know, I'm trying to show him what money is and how it works and how hard it is to earn money. |
