Her culinary show appears to have been bombed, and the previous podcast has signed a deal with Spotify, so her desire to make this one a success weighs heavily on her shoulders. ”

“If the definition of madness is, “doing the same thing over and over, but expecting another outcome,” then that’s probably where we’re in this lifecycle of this story,” Eldridge explained. “That being said, Meghan still controls her destiny.

“It’s not uncommon to see fishermen drop four different lines off the pier. The idea of not knowing where a fish will bite will diversify your approach and expand your chances of success,” Eldridge said. “But the problem is, if you don’t know how to feed the hook, you create something that attracts and appeals to the fish.
“This is essentially Meghan’s case,” Eldridge continued. “She dropped the ‘line’ Oprah’s sit-in, Netflix series, production company, and now a podcast. The struggle does not have multiple lines under the water. In the first place, there are no hooks that have been properly fed. ”
