Meghan Markle’s new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, has been criticized for not being as deep and insightful as she should have been.
The podcast focuses on Megan Markle, the former royal, actress, and full-time brand architect, rather than Whitney Wolf Herd, the billionaire brain behind Bumble.
Megan allegedly turned the MIC into a megaphone, turning the show into a megaphone for herself.
The first episode drops, and instead of a deep dive into Whitney’s incredible journey building a dating app that empowers women navigating a cutthroat tech world and becoming a billionaire by 31.
Megan reportedly steamrolled her own story, making it seem disrespectful and disrespectful. Whitney is not just any guest, but a woman who revolutionized online dating, built a company valued at billions, and did it all while facing insane scrutiny as a young female CEO.
The podcast could have been a game changer for Megan to stay relevant, but instead, it feels like another vehicle for her to stay relevant.
Megan’s brand is mostly about her jam company and Netflix deal, which has produced What One Kid Show. This podcast was her chance to prove she’s more than a headline, but instead, she gave us more of the same style over substance platitudes over purpose.
People are not just annoyed by the constant rebranding and the endless poor me narratives. If Whitney really did roll her eyes, it’s a sign that even the A-listers are over it.
Megan had a golden opportunity to prove herself as a beacon of female empowerment, but by making it the Mimy Show, she alienated the very audience she needs. People want authenticity, and Whitney has that in spades.
