Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is venturing into the world of podcasting with her new show, "Confessions of a Female Founder," which premieres on April 8th on Lemonada Media. The podcast will feature eight episodes, where Markle will share her own entrepreneurial journey and engage in candid conversations with other female founders about the realities of building a business.

In an Instagram announcement, Markle expressed her excitement about the podcast, stating, "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." This move is not surprising, given Markle's efforts to build her post-Royal business empire.

Markle is currently in the process of launching her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which will accompany her new Netflix show "With Love, Meghan." In a previous interview with People magazine, Markle discussed the challenges she faced in As Ever's early days, including a trademark issue with the brand's original name, American Riveria Orchard. Additionally, Markle has invested in several consumer companies and was spotted at the G9 Summer Summit, a prestigious Hamptons networking conference hosted by G9 Ventures founder Amy Griffin.

This podcast launch is not the only entrepreneurial venture from the royal couple. Prince Harry is also involved in the startup world, serving as the chief impact officer of the wellness company BetterUp. He recently gave an address at this year's UpFront Summit, focusing on the use of technology in driving global change. The couple has also hired former Lightspeed Ventures marketing partner Meredith Maines to lead communications.

The "Confessions of a Female Founder" podcast is an opportunity for Markle to share her experiences and insights as a female entrepreneur, as well as provide a platform for other women to share their stories and advice. While the concept of a female-founder podcast is not novel, Markle's involvement is likely to bring significant attention and interest to the topic.

As Markle continues to build her business empire, this podcast launch marks an exciting development in her entrepreneurial journey. With her influence and reach, "Confessions of a Female Founder" has the potential to inspire and empower women entrepreneurs around the world.

The podcast's premiere on April 8th is highly anticipated, and fans of Markle and entrepreneurship alike will be eager to tune in and learn from her experiences and those of her guests. As the Duchess of Sussex continues to make her mark in the business world, "Confessions of a Female Founder" is an exciting addition to her growing portfolio of ventures.
