Meghan Markle Launches New Podcast Confessions of a Female Founder
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is adding another project to her growing portfolio. The former actress and royal is set to launch a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, where she will discuss the highs and lows of entrepreneurship with female business leaders.
This latest venture follows her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and will offer candid insights into the challenges and triumphs of building a business from the ground up.
Meghan announced the project on Instagram, revealing her excitement about connecting with women who have turned ideas into successful businesses.
“I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses. 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.”
The first episode drops on April 8 and will be available on Lemonada Media, the production company behind the show.
The launch of Meghan’s podcast comes shortly after she rebranded her lifestyle business. Initially named American Riviera Orchard, she later changed it to As Ever, explaining that the original name was too limiting.
“I had thought, ‘American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name.’ It’s my neighbourhood; it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.”
With Netflix now a business partner in the venture, Meghan felt it was the right time to introduce As Ever, a name she had secured in 2022.
The former Suits star and wife of Prince Harry has been expanding her brand beyond the royal spotlight. As a mother to Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, she has embraced entrepreneurship as a new chapter in her career.
“I see myself as an entrepreneur and a female founder, and if the brand ends up influential, then that’s great.”
With her new podcast and lifestyle brand, Meghan is shaping her own legacy in the world of business, media, and personal branding.
