The Obehi Podcast | Life & Legacy Project
A researcher in Italy interviews entrepreneurs and thinkers from the African Diaspora to decode their 'success logic' for a sovereign future.
This is an interview show focused on extracting actionable frameworks from successful members of the African Diaspora. The host, Obehi Ewanfoh, uses his background as a researcher to probe guests on topics ranging from mental health and decolonization to entrepreneurship and economic systems. The core idea is to codify the life's work of his guests, preventing what he calls "Knowledge Incineration," and build a "success map" for listeners.
“Unlike many interview shows, this podcast has a stated mission beyond conversation: to distill guest experiences into permanent, high-value assets. It uniquely blends psychological, economic, and philosophical inquiry with a focus on building sovereign economic and cultural infrastructure for the African Diaspora.”
Who hosts this show
Obehi Ewanfoh is a Verona, Italy-based researcher, strategist, and author of over 10 books. His podcast is the hub for the "Life and Legacy Project," which aims to extract the 'Success Logic' of the African Diaspora by interviewing its community architects. Since 2019, the platform has captured hundreds of voices to distill their experiences into what he calls the "Sovereign Oracle," a community intelligence engine. Originally from Nigeria, Ewanfoh's work is informed by his own journey as an immigrant in Italy, which he has channeled into creating platforms for educational and economic empowerment.
