As Ever Part 7 - Whatever, however, whenever with edible flowers on top

[TheWayTheLightFalls]

New thread as the previous one is full!

I think she actually loathes him and can't bring herself to say his name.

I agree totally. It's actually really rude. Imagine if he called her 'M' all the time in public.

The name is easier to say in a sentence than "H", repeatedly

I don’t know what’s worse. The “H” or the “Haz” 🙈

She has just announced a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder on Instagram.

Is this a joke? I' m not on IG.if not, I look forward to the parodies.

It doesn't seem to be. She is interviewing people about how they started things. 🤷‍♀️

I know this isn't As ever but Meghan's new podcast announced. I won't be listening as I don't have a subscription & I'm not signing up just for this. In fact I'd never heard of Lemonada before but that is certainly be entirely me rather than a reflection on its popularity.

Has it been published how much the contract for this one is worth ? I've read that the total revenue for Lemonada for all podcasts is $8m so I suspect a much more modest amount than Spotify. I bet she won't stint on producing enough content this time round. 😊

ETA - Ooops cross posted with @MrsLeonFarrell - sorry

But H is a step up from " my husband " which is her usual terminology much as if he were a pet or a possession.

My uncle’s second wife, also a pretty awful human, would refer to him by his full name “Geraldo” rather than “Ged” which he’d gone by his whole life. It sounds so unreasonable but it riled a lot of us, like she was trying to make him sound fancier than he was.

What is she supposed to have found? How to be a dick?

Are her tips on how NOT to to cock it up?

Hang on - so, As Ever was launched after she gleaned all these inside tricks and tips Is this Meghan not listening to advice again?

it's VERY early to be describing herself as a 'founder'! How about waiting to see if it actually gets off the ground?!

She is apparently interviewing others about how they started businesses. It's advertised as with 'Meghan'. No title.

If she is going down the business route, without her title, I wish her luck. The sole reason I am interested is the fact she still uses her title for her stuff. If she drops the title, now she seems to have stopped the attacks on the royal family, I'll wish her luck and stop commentating in the same way as I don't have anything to say about Goop.

and how to find your own brand name and not steal someone else's

😂😂
She's making the parodies a bit harder!

To be fair, it's not clear whether she regards herself as a founder, she talks about interviewing people who are founders.

It's not the best title because from her post she is interviewing others but the title makes it sound as if she is doing all the confessing.

Confessions of ………
Reminds me of the Robin Askwith films in the 1970s

That was my first thought!

I didn’t recognise her on the picture accompanying the article. She’s changed colour and her face is much longer and thinner. Just why do people do this to themselves? How can you be authentic when you’ve drastically changed your face?

Meghan is always about Meghan.

Looks like it is another plagiarised title, someone else has a podcast with the same name 😃

She really is crazy.

Now I could actually see this working! IF

1. She drops the gushiness - so she would IMO have to present quite differently to WLM - which may be a problem in itself hot on the heels of the WLM persona
2. She opens up as well and is honest about the bloopers she's made in launching As ever , trademarks / rushed out launches etc
3. She doesn't make it all about her - and it genuinely addresses problems pitfalls advice of people who have done it. A few of of her guests on WLM I think were women who founded their own businesses so I am sure she has her guests lined up. But Lemonada I think was founded by two women so I am sure they will be right behind this being a "serious " thing rather than a Meghan vehicle - by which I don't mean po-faced , amusing anecdotes would be good but this very much I would think have to be Meghan taking advice and being genuinely interested in the guests whilst admitting her own mistakes.
