Own The Spotlight is a podcast where authors take center stage to present their work — in their own words and without an interviewer. Each episode features a solo monologue in which the author introduces themselves, shares what inspired their latest book or article, and reflects on the journey behind the writing. You'll hear candid insights about their intended audience, the creative process, surprises along the way, and what they hope readers will take away from their work. Whether you're a curious reader, fellow writer, or publishing enthusiast, Own The Spotlight offers a rare, candid look at authorship — and plants the seeds for your next literary exploration.

Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon, co-authors with Clayton Christensen on The Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty, discuss the story behind their newly-released book, what it’s like to collaborate with Clay, and the substance of The Prosperity Paradox, in which they address the question, “Where does true and lasting prosperity come from?” With an eye towards low income countries, the conversation touches on different types of innovation, non-consumption, push versus pull strategies, a new way of thinking about infrastructure, business model development, and their framework for economic growth based on market-creation innovation and entrepreneurship.
