Confessions of a Female Founder episode 8 recap - Megan's podcast zzzz's to end season PLUS Elvira takes on Meghan!

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to a special bonus episode of Palace Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. Meghan has concluded the inaugural season of a second podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, with a relatable guest, a billionaire. Meghan welcomed Spanx founder Sarah Blakely, whose net worth is estimated at an eye watering one point three billion pounds. The two discussed the gritty realities of entrepreneurship, agreeing it was time to get real about betting on yourself. The podcast, the number fifty seven business podcast in the US according to the Apple Chants on Tuesday Morning, featured the Duchess and Blakely delving into the hard earned wisdom behind turning a fledgling idea into a global brand. Grit, intentional design, and scrappy mindset were essential in transforming a humble ston start into a thriving global business, they agreed. Blakely, who launched Spanx in nineteen ninety eight while working as a fax machine salesperson, shared that she had just five thousand dollars in savings when she started. Now she's turning her attention to a new Venture sneaks a line of tin heels that caught Meghan's attention not just as a style enthusiast, but as someone who knows the aches of pregnancy in heels all too well. A friend just said to me the other day. They were like, I just saw this picture I'd forgotten about when you were so pregnant with Archie.

1:31 Meghan recalled, you have the most enormous bump and your tiny little ankles of braising themselves in these high heels. I was clinging very closely to my husband, like, please don't let me fall. It remains to be seen if Meghan's second podcast will get a second season. The company that produces it was recently sold, possibly demotivating the founders from continuing a high profile and possibly underperforming show. We also noticed even the tabloids seen bored with this series, with fewer recaps than normal. In that final episode, Megan thanked Harry for giving her a lifetime of stories, and that is something we have in common with Megan. We'd also like to thank Harry and Meghan for a lifetime of stories. Please do another season, Megan. Megan had even taken to social media to promote these series she reminded her followers to listen to Confessions of a Female Founder's latest episode in a video posted to Instagram on Friday.

2:24 In the clip, Meghan said, so, I'm not sure if you've caught up on this week's episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, but it's such a good one and it reminds me of that quote. Wherever you go, there you are, she began, as Meghan appeared without makeup in the short clip. That is what my conversation with Cassie is like, because twenty plus years later, so much has changed, and yeah, we are much the same, she continued, referring to her interview with Cassandra. Keeping her look paired back, Megan appeared largely makeup free in the new clip, sporting only a soft pink clip and matching blush. Royal Watches were quick to note a closer look at her wedding jewelry, specifically the subtle rearrangement of her rings. After fans had previously remarked on her unconventional stacking, Beggar's rings now appeared in the more traditional order wedding ban first, followed by the Eternity ring, and finally her diamond engagement ring from Prince Harry. The Sussexes marked Memorial Day weekend on separate continents, highlighting what's some close to the couple describe as a twin track approach to their increasingly distinct public lives. On Sunday, Prince Harry made a surprise appearance in Shanghai, delivering the keynote address at the Envision twenty twenty five Global Partner Conference hosted by trip dot Com group representing Travelist, the not for profit Sustainable Travel coalition he founded in twenty nineteen.

3:44 The Duke spoke passionately about the intersection of climate and commerce. Climate change isn't just an environmental challenge, it's a critical business emergency, costing the global economy one hundred and forty three billion dollars annually, said the Duke. Now is the moment for the industry to reaffirm its commitment to being a force for good. Challenges will undoubtedly rise, But if there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that meaningful change never comes easily. The true measure of our commitment is how we respond when the path becomes difficult. We must never give up. Some wondered why Harry had to fly six thousand miles to preach about the environment instead of sending a video message more powacy, just a moment, A special message to our palace intrigue listeners.

On Sunday, The Privacy Mind and Megan Sussex posted a video to her Instagram stories showing herself and a three year old Princess Lilibet walking hand in hand toward an apiary, no doubt to the joy of Prince Harry. The two were dressed in full beekeeper suits, complete with hoods and gloves. The soundtrack nineteen sixty nine hit Sugar Sugar by the Archies, a possible nod to Littlebit's older brother, six year old Prince Archie. Adding to the charm, Young Littlebit sported rainbow colored boots in the clip. The beekeeping hobby is one Meghan cheers with both Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton, who also keeps spees except when Kate does and it's real and it's wonderful and genuine and probably not a phony photo.

7:06 What when Meghan does it for attention? Unlike Kate. For Meghan, honey is more than just a backyard passion. It's also part of her business. Her lifestyle brand has ever launched a limited edition wildflower honey with honeycomb earlier this year. The product proved so popular that it oversold. Meghan responded personally, emailing disappointed customers. Meghan recently made an impression at thirty five thousand feet, not with a selfie, but with a handwritten note. American Airlines flight attendant Nina Veda shared on TikTok, the Duchess of Sussex was a passenger in a recent flight and left behind more than just an empty champagne flute. You guys will not believe who I had on my flight. Who had the pleasure of serving you? Said the Queen, the Princess, the Duchess of Sussex. According to Vida, Meghan was so beautiful in person, so sweet. The flight crew passed Megan a handwritten note that read it's a pleasure serving you. Love you real bad, signed the AA girlies.

7:57 Meghan responded in kind with a note of her own scribbled in a napkin. It read dear AA gurlies, thank you for the love, hospitality and handwritten note as you know me well or love right back at you. She signed it simply as ever, Megan, that wasn't the end of the exchange. Megan also complimented Vida's manicure, a detail the flight attendant clearly cherished. She also said she loved my nails, Peter said, and the captain on my last flight said they were intense, So sir, it doesn't matter what you think. The queen says she likes them. Although details of the flight itself weren't shared, Vida lists herself as an NYC flight attendant in her bio. Megan may have thought she was making a harmless hair joke, but she caught the attention of one very spooky icon. On a recent episode of a podcast, Megan, since she used box and I expecting natural results but got something far more dramatic. I thought, I do not dislike she does on the box, and instead it was this very inky, almost Elvira esque black hair. She told Semon owner and guest Katie Lee. The comparison didn't go unnoticed over the weekend at Cassandra Peterson, better known as Alvira Mistress of the Dark, responded to the remark with a cheeky post on Instagram, sharing a screenshot of an article about Megan's comments, the seventy year old Queen of Halloween wrote, Hey Princess, if you have a need beauty advice from the Queen, just let me know, adding a smoking emoji for good measure, and there you have it.
