Meghan Markle Launches Podcast Celebrating Female Entrepreneurs

Meghan Markle's New Podcast: "Confessions of a Female Founder"

Meghan Markle is set to launch a new podcast series, titled “Confessions of a Female Founder.” The podcast will center around the Duchess of Sussex discussing her own experiences navigating the world of entrepreneurship.

The series will also include interviews with other women who have established and grown their own businesses. These conversations will explore the practical realities and challenges inherent in building a successful enterprise, as reported by People magazine.

Podcast Details and Launch

“Confessions of a Female Founder” is scheduled to premiere on April 8th via Lemonada Media. The initial season will consist of eight episodes.

In an announcement shared on Instagram, Markle described engaging in open discussions with accomplished women. These women have successfully transformed aspirations into thriving businesses.

She explained they are generously sharing their insights, strategies, and even the setbacks they’ve encountered. Markle intends to leverage their expertise as she develops her own ventures.

Expanding Her Post-Royal Business Ventures

While podcasts focused on female entrepreneurship are not unprecedented, this initiative aligns with Markle’s ongoing efforts to expand her business portfolio following her departure from royal duties.

Currently, she is preparing to launch her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in conjunction with her upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

Markle has previously discussed the obstacles faced during the initial stages of As Ever, including a legal dispute concerning the trademark for its original name, American Riviera Orchard.

Investment and Networking Activities

Beyond As Ever, Markle has made angel investments in several consumer-focused companies. She was also observed attending the G9 Summer Summit last year.

The G9 Summer Summit is a prominent networking event held in the Hamptons, organized by Amy Griffin, the founder of G9 Ventures.

Prince Harry's Involvement in the Startup World

Prince Harry is also actively involved in the startup ecosystem. He currently serves as the chief impact officer for the wellness company BetterUp.

He recently delivered a speech at the UpFront Summit, focusing on the potential of technology to facilitate positive global change.

The couple has recently appointed Meredith Maines, a former marketing partner at Lightspeed Ventures, to oversee their communications strategy.
