Before founding DailyOM, Taylor owned an aromatherapy product company.[5] Blum had worked as a software developer for Capcom, Sega, Taito,[6] and Starwave. He was also one of the producers of the multimedia project Peter Gabriel: Eve.[7] He established iMusic before its eventual sale to Apple.[8][9]

In 2008, DailyOM published Madisyn Taylor's first book, DailyOM: Inspirational Thoughts for a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Day.[10]

Taylor also wrote the 2011 book DailyOM: Learning to Live.[11] Taylor's writings from the book have also been featured on Oprah Winfrey's website.[12]

Taylor also produced and recorded the meditation album Meditation for the Highly Sensitive Person, which was released under the DailyOM label in 2015.[13] The album reached #1 on Billboard's New Age Albums chart.[14] Taylor was also interviewed for the 2015 documentary film Sensitive: The Untold Story, which was based on Elaine Aron's research.[15] She went on to publish the book Unmedicated: The Four Pillars of Natural Wellness in 2018.[16]

DailyOM currently operates under the digital media group Everyday Health Group, which was acquired by Ziff Davis in 2016.[17]
