Overnight Wisdom
Overnight Wisdom is a show where Chisom Udeze, award-winning Economist, business leader and entrepreneur, engages in deep and reflective conversations, either as solo episodes, or with occasional guests, leaders, artists, & change-makers from around the world. The show explores leadership, business growth, societal challenges, purpose, power, identity, resilience and the lifelong practice of returning to oneself. These are the defining forces that shape how we lead, work and live.
Each episode uncovers pressing global topics, and/or worldview and philosophy that guide us. The conversations move between topics that matter for our individual and collective wellbeing.
This is not a show about performance. It is a space for clarity. You will hear personal stories, research-based insights, lived wisdom and practical strategies for leading with courage, building with intention and choosing a meaningful life, whatever that may mean to you.
Thanks for being here.
New solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest conversations released on Sundays
