Deborah Meaden is launching an eco-friendly podcast
The 63-year-old ‘Dragons' Den’ investor and entrepreneur, is preparing for her next business venture as she’s set to host eco-friendly podcast ‘The Big Green Money Show’.
The first episode of the podcast will air on BBC Sounds this Friday (04.03.2022) and Deborah will be talking to some of the world’s biggest business names about climate change.
She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: “I am going to have CEOs on from big companies talking about the environment and how we can be more eco-friendly.
“I will be doing the interviewing, but the purpose is to make it light-hearted. I wanted to do this to make a difference.”
Deborah will not be turning her back on 'Dragon's Den' despite the new podcast venture with filming for the new series set to begin in April.
The businesswoman previously revealed that she loves seeing the ingenuity of British entrepreneurs at work during the making of the show.
Deborah said: "I love the ingenuity of British entrepreneurs. Every year I think I’ve probably seen it all and every year they prove to me there are still plenty of opportunities to go for and that is the life blood of British business."
Meaden also encouraged hopefuls to enter the Den with an open mind if they appear on the programme.
She said: "If you’re looking for investment you’ve got to think about what the investor gets from being involved with your business. A lot of people think about what they’re getting from their point of view but not about what the investor gets out of a deal.
"Also you need to think about who is the right investor but don’t make your mind up before you come into the Den because you have never met us. It isn’t until you get into the Den that you see who we are and what questions we ask."
