We’re thrilled to introduce Quest, a new podcast from Condia, sponsored by Raenest and Fez, that explores the personal journeys behind Africa’s most compelling innovations. Hosted by Daniel Adeyemi, award-winning journalist and former Editor-in-Chief at Condia, Quest goes beyond the headlines to uncover the grit, clarity, and quiet decisions that drive real success on the continent.

Why Quest?

A quest, by definition, is a pursuit of meaning, of mastery, of something that matters. Whether it’s a founder navigating uncharted markets or an operator solving a high-stakes problem, there’s always a deeper story beneath the milestone.

Quest is where those stories come alive. In each episode, Daniel sits down with Africa’s builders — entrepreneurs, investors, operators, and visionaries — to explore the moments that shaped them. The setbacks, the pivots, the wins, the hard-earned lessons.

This isn’t about hot takes or highlight reels. It’s about real conversations that inspire, challenge, and connect.

The first episode drops today!

Episode 1 | Featuring Adia Sowho

We kick off the season with Adia Sowho, former CMO of MTN Nigeria and one of the continent’s most thoughtful business leaders. In this episode, Adia talks about risk, reinvention, and what it means to build with conviction in systems that don’t always work.

Her story is one of intentionality — navigating uncertainty with curiosity, and shaping environments where others can thrive.
