Dear Media, Arielle Lorre
About this episode

In this episode I'm talking to Stephen Colletti, star of MTV's Laguna Beach, CW's One Tree Hill, Hulu's Everyone is Doing Great and co-host of the new Dear Media podcast, Back to the Beach. We discuss how Laguna Beach came to fruition and what it was really like being the star of one of the first reality TV phenomenons. We also chat about what was real and what was fabricated, how the experience shaped his life and how he moved on and found purpose after the show. Finally, we talk about moving on from unhealthy habits learning how to be comfortable in your skin.
