Meghan Markle drops trailer for her new podcast on entrepreneurship
What's the story
Meghan Markle has exclusively shared the trailer of her upcoming podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, promising an exciting "girl talk" with female entrepreneurs, with PEOPLE.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, rebranded her podcast after signing a deal with Lemonada Media in February 2024. This came after Spotify's decision not to renew its $20 million contract for a second season of her now-defunct show, Archetypes.
The first episode of the new podcast series will drop on April 8.
Podcast details
'Confessions of a Female Founder' to feature entrepreneurial insights
In the trailer, Markle introduces her new podcast saying, "I'm Meghan, and this is Confessions of a Female Founder, a show where I chat with female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned, and the laser focus that got them to where they are today."
She promises to explore "the highs - and the lows - and the kind of advice that turns small ideas into billion-dollar businesses."
Trailer highlights
Podcast trailer offers sneak peek into entrepreneurial journeys
The podcast trailer gives a sneak peek into the entrepreneurial journeys of some of the guests.
One of them said, "It just started climbing and climbing, and there were 5,000, 10,000 people on our website," while another one admitted, "I'm broke, and no one is calling me."
Another guest added, "I knew in that moment that I'd rather stand for something than sell a whole ton of product and stand for nothing."
Podcast topics
Markle's podcast will cover more than just business
Markle also hinted that her new podcast won't be strictly business.
In the trailer, she asks one guest about their relationship status, saying, "Are you saying you're not single now? Have I missed something in the past couple of weeks? What's happening?"
She also added that she's building her own business, gaining practical advice along the way, and can't wait to share it with listeners.
Past projects
Markle's previous podcast and current ventures

Apart from her new podcast, Markle recently released an eight-part Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, displaying her culinary and gardening talents.
