they know is possible. Hosted by writer and editor Heben

The first episodes include interviews with singer, actress and
global face of Coach Selena
Gomez; actor, producer and global face of Coach menswear
Michael B. Jordan; and
actress Maisie Williams. Its
debut episode, available tomorrow, features Selena on the subject
of authenticity, a value championed by Coach—and its customers. The
conversation reveals her thoughts on social media and
self-acceptance, her collaboration with Cardi B., and her approach
to her upcoming album. "Every song is a story that I've
experienced," she says. "There's nobody that's going to tell my
story better than myself."
"Authenticity is, for me, not minding being myself anymore," she
says in the episode. "I've always wanted to be me, but when I was
younger, I was very insecure. I started in this industry really
young, and I think that you kind of create this other persona of
yourself."
The second episode, which will be released Wednesday, May 1, features Michael B. Jordan on the subject of courage,
another important house value. In it, he discusses inclusion in
Hollywood, overcoming insecurity
as a young actor and his dream to one day open a school.
Following episodes will feature star of "Game of Thrones"
Maisie Williams, actor and
songwriter Ben Platt, and Coach
Creative Director Stuart Vevers. In
addition, every episode will feature the story of an inspiring
young person, such as Los Angeles
teenager Lesseya, a singer, dancer and artist whose dreams go
beyond her own, featured in the debut episode.
"I am excited to launch the Dream It Real podcast, a
thought-provoking and inspiring series of unfiltered
conversations," said Carlos
Becil, Global Chief Marketing Officer of Coach. "Our
goal is to continue our commitment to empowering young people, and
to provide a platform where they can simply be themselves and find
the confidence they need to create the world they envision."
The Dream It Real podcast series is released weekly on
Wednesdays and is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google
Podcasts and other channels.
