Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show focuses on themes of bravery, vulnerability, growth, and personal development, with episodes exploring the impact of personal loss on artistic vision and storytelling through imagery, highlighting guests like Ghanaian photographer Michael Aboya who discusses how grief shaped his work.
Overnight Wisdom is a show where Chisom Udeze, award-winning Economist, business leader and entrepreneur, engages in deep and reflective conversations with leaders, artists, thinkers and change-makers from around the world. Together, they explore leadership, business growth, joy, purpose, power, identity, memory, 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 the habits, worldview and philosophy that guide our guests. The conversations move between career, creativity, well-being, psychology, and what it truly means to build a life that is successful on your own terms.
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.
In this episode, Chisom reflects on the journey of creating Overnight Wisdom — a podcast that began as an experiment in curiosity and connection and evolved into a global platform for truth-telling, wisdom, and courageous storytelling.
Since launching on May 28th 2025, Chisom has released 30 consecutive weekly episodes, interviewing an extraordinary lineup of artists, activists, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders from across the world. From conversations about legacy, grief, decolonization, creativity, mental health, and leadership — to challenging how we see power, culture, and identity — each guest brought a unique lens and lived experience.
Chisom revisits key takeaways from episodes with:
- Michael Aboya on dignity in Black imagery
- Lola Akinmade on writing intersectional women into the center
- Chidiebere Ibe on the revolutionary power of representation in medical illustration
- Jameson Timba on fighting for democratic freedom
- Linda Masarira on political courage and decolonization
- DJ Bwakali, Yaba Blay, Shruti Ganguly, Thandi Dyani, Astrid Sundberg, Poornima Luthra, Jonathan Akwue — and many more — each leaving a mark through their authenticity and depth.
She also shares personal reflections on the labor behind building a weekly podcast as a mostly one-woman team, the emotional and intellectual nourishment it has brought her, and the deep gratitude she holds for her listeners and guests.
As Overnight Wisdom heads into a short break, Chisom teases powerful new episodes for 2026 and reminds us of what’s possible when we lead with clarity, stay consistent, and dare to build with heart.
