OM DENNE EPISODE
What does it really take to become a CEO, and stay grounded through success, loss, and reinvention?
In this powerful episode of The Bold New Normal Podcast, Lucy Quist sits down with Uche Ofodile, CEO of MTN Benin and Chairperson of MTN Mobile Money, for an honest conversation about leadership, ambition, grief, resilience, and building a career with real impact.
Uche shares the deeply personal story behind her rise, from writing down a vision for her future, to navigating profound personal loss, to becoming one of Africa’s most respected business leaders.
This is not just a conversation about titles or success. It is about becoming, leading with substance, and understanding that real leadership is built in both visible wins and private battles.

Why chasing titles alone is a mistake
How writing your vision down can shape your future
