About This Podcast
Are you performing leadership or actually leading?
Overnight Wisdom is a podcast for leaders exhausted from shapeshifting — from becoming who they think their board wants, their team needs, who their family expects or the system rewards.
Hosted by Chisom Udeze, economist, leadership strategist, and creator of the Three Clarities Framework, each episode features honest conversations with founders, CEOs, artists, and changemakers who stopped performing and discovered who they actually are as leaders.
Each week, Chisom sits down with founders, CEOs, artists, and change-makers who stopped shapeshifting and discovered who they actually are as leaders — of their work, their lives, and themselves.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to recognise when you’re performing instead of leading
- What Identity Clarity looks like (and how to develop it)
- What becomes possible when you anchor your leadership in who you actually are — not who you think you should be.
These are conversations about the deeper work of knowing yourself — so you can stop pretending and start leading. We get honest about the work that makes leadership work — whether you’re leading a team, a company, or your own life.
Thanks for being here.
New episodes every Wednesday.
