Meghan Markle new podcast: Duchess of Sussex reveals Confessions of a Female Founder details

Meghan Markle has announced details of her new podcast overnight, more than two years after the end of her previous podcast, Archetypes.

The Duchess of Sussex revealed her new partnership with producers Lemonada Media a year ago but little else was known about the direction her new show would take.

While many thought the new audio series would be an extension of her TV series With Love, Meghan, the actress-turned-royal-turned-media personality is taking a slightly different approach.

Ahead of the launch of As Ever, Meghan’s new product range, she’s chatting to other entrepreneurs in Confessions of a Female Founder.

“I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses,” Meghan wrote on Instagram.

“They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As Ever.”

“It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring…and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?),” she continued.

Meghan’s focus has on female leadership is nothing new, having touched on that in her last podcast series and time in the royal family.

But the growing links towards her new venture, as both the television show and podcast push to the make or break launch of her lifestyle range, show the duchess means business.

“I’m so proud of what we’re creating, and the candid conversations that I’m able to have with other female founders as we unpack the twists and turns of building a business,” Meghan said in a statement from Lemonada.

“Through my friendships and relationships, we’re able to dive into the type of insights that everyone wants to know as they’re building a business, and that I’m able to tap into as I’m building my own business with As ever.”

Launching next month, the series is set to feature “the never-before-told stories that took many of [the women] from starting a company to selling it”, according to Lemonada.

It’s not yet known who are the guests Meghan will be speaking with but it promises “unfiltered stories behind the successes of notable female founders, while also sneaking a peek behind the curtain of Meghan’s own entrepreneurial journey launching As Ever.”

It’s the first original podcast for Lemonada and is being produced by the company’s co-founders Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs.

“As female founders ourselves, Steph and I are grateful to get a chance to build alongside Meghan the exact podcast we needed when we started Lemonada,” Kramer said in the statement.

The sentiment also echoed by Wittels Wachs.

“Meghan is such a warm and welcoming person, and you feel that in her interviews,” she said in the statement.

“She creates a comfortable space for her guests to bring fascinating personal stories to the table and open up in a way they likely haven’t before publicly. Listeners can expect conversations that are way more break room than boardroom.”

The eight-part series will launch on streaming services on April 8, with new episodes released weekly.
