Overnight Wisdom

Chisom

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 leadingWhat 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.

    Designing for Survival: Business, Babies, and What Keeps Us Human with Lexi Montee Busch

    We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. This is a conversation about what it means to build something that meets people at one of the most vulnerable thresholds of life. In this episode, I sit down with Lexi Montée of Happiest Baby for a layered conversation on parenting, leadership, product, loss, resilience, and the moral weight of innovation. We talk about SNOO, the science backed smart sleeper designed to support infant sleep and safety, but this conversation goes far beyond babies and bassinets. We explore what it takes to build a company around a real human need, the difference between luxury and accessibility, the emotional complexity of early parenthood, and why care should not be treated as a private burden. Lexi shares what it means to work inside a family founded business, lead through ambiguity, navigate systems level change, and hold both commercial viability and moral consequence at the same time. We also talk about loss, rebuilding after the Los Angeles fires, motherhood, imposter syndrome, resilience, and the strange, beautiful work of becoming more human while building something that matters.  Support the show ----------------------------------- Streaming & Social Links Visit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSz Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdom LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rss Connect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/ Reach us at chisom@overnightwisdom.com

    The Men Who Drug Their Wives

    We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In March 2026, a CNN investigation exposed a global network of men teaching each other how to drug and assault their wives and partners. This episode examines what the investigation uncovered, why this keeps happening, and what women need to know. We discuss the infrastructure enabling this violence — from pornographic platforms hosting thousands of “sleep” videos to Telegram groups where men trade advice on dosages and detection avoidance. We hear from three survivors who discovered their husbands had been drugging and assaulting them for years. But this isn’t just about individual perpetrators. This episode maps the systems that make this possible: platforms that profit from illegal content, police who dismiss survivors, laws that fail to protect women at home, and a culture that still treats women’s bodies as accessible to their husbands. We also address what needs to change — at the platform level, in law enforcement, in legal systems, and in how we raise the next generation. Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of drug-facilitated sexual assault and violence against women.

    Radical Justice with Nani Jansen Reventlow

    We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. What does radical justice actually require of us? Not just systems change. Not just representation. But a willingness to interrogate everything — including ourselves. In this episode of Overnight Wisdom, Chisom sits down with Nani Jansen Reventlow — human rights lawyer, founder of Systemic Justice, and author of Radical Justice — to unpack the realities of building change from within and what it means to pursue justice at the root. From being the only person of colour shaping digital rights in Europe… to building Systemic Justice as a “movements law firm”… to confronting the limits of working within systems designed to exclude. We talk about the uncomfortable truths: – Why diversity without structural change is harm – How injustice doesn’t stay “out there” — it shows up in our own work – The hidden cost of leadership, especially as a Black woman – And the clarity it takes to know when to build, stay, or walk away This is not a conversation about performative change. It’s about doing the deeper, harder work — even when it costs you. If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and the systems you operate in… this one will stay with you.   Support the show ----------------------------------- Streaming & Social Links Visit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSz Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdom LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rss Connect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/ Reach us at chisom@overnightwisdom.com

    How to Do Meaningful Work Without Losing Yourself with Attia Taylor

    We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. How do you do meaningful work… without disappearing in it? This week on Overnight Wisdom, Chisom speaks with Attia Taylor, founder of Womanly Magazine, musician, artist, and health advocate, about what it means to build work that is intentional, community rooted, and deeply human. They talk about identity, service, creativity, health justice, and the emotional cost of doing work that matters, while still trying to hold on to yourself. They explore the tension between purpose and selfhood. Attia is building work that matters — centering communities often excluded from healthcare and cultural narratives. They talk about identity clarity in practice — not as a concept, but as something you have to actively protect. From the emotional weight of serving others, to the quiet loneliness of purpose-driven work, to the discipline of asking: who am I beyond what I build, fix, or fight for? This is a conversation about holding both — commitment to impact, and commitment to self. Because meaningful work should expand you. Not erase you.

    The Manosphere Is a Business Model — Radicalization for Profit.

    We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. Chisom reviews Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and diagnoses what it missed — and what it got right. Using her Three Clarities Framework, she talks about the missed opportunity in that the documentary did not  name the systems driving manosphere radicalization: economic precarity, algorithmic profiteering, and the pipeline from self-help to fascism. While the documentary sparked important conversations, it risks serving as aspiration p**n for the boys it should be warning. This isn’t entertainment, it’s a business model. And until we demand platform accountability, center the harm to boys and women, and address root causes, we’ll keep spectacularizing the problem instead of solving it.  Visit my Website: https://www.chisomudeze.com/ My Newsletter: https://www.chisomudeze.com/newsletter Support the show ----------------------------------- Streaming & Social Links Visit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSz Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdom LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rss Connect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/ Reach us at chisom@overnightwisdom.com
