From Agency Chaos to Clarity: Building a Human-First Business | Dylan Bost
Description
Dylan is the founder of Sunny HQ, a human-first WordPress hosting and support company built around one simple idea: business owners shouldn’t have to lose sleep over their website. With more than 30 years of experience in digital systems, design, and operations, he has spent his career helping businesses function more effectively.
But his journey wasn’t always about simplicity. After running a successful creative agency for over a decade, he found himself stuck in a cycle of reactive work, endless revisions, and a system that consumed more energy than it returned. He is also writing a book called The Seven Mirrors, exploring how memory, leadership, and business intersect — and how clarity itself can become a tool for transformation.
In this honest conversation, Dylan shares:
• Growing up as a latchkey kid and learning independence early
• Always being entrepreneurial — even when it wasn’t easy
• Building a creative agency from nothing after a company collapse
• Why success on the outside can still feel out of alignment
• The crash that forced a personal and professional reset
• Finding clarity and building a simpler, human-first business
If you’re in your 20s building something, feeling out of alignment with your work, or searching for more clarity in business and life, this episode offers real, grounded insight.
