After 20 years developing and producing the work of talented creatives for companies from Comedy Central and IFC TV to Snapchat, Erin stepped out from behind the scenes and created Hotter Than Ever in 2023 to fill the profound gap in authentic, meaningful programming for and about women over 40.

Hotter Than Ever currently produces the top ranked Hotter Than Ever podcast and substack. After a near death case of Covid in 2021, Erin got honest about her outwardly successful (but secretly miserable) keeping up with the Jones' life and ended her long marriage. Erin rediscovered pleasure and found her mission to help liberate women in midlife from the myth of having it all in order to create exciting, fulfilling lives of their own design. As an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning media executive and executive producer, Erin's passion for smart brand defining original programming has led to zeitgeist shaping shows like Portlandia.
