After
After begins with the final words from the previous episode: “I miss my dog.” What stayed with me after the CEO Sleepout wasn’t the physical discomfort I expected, but something quieter, the absence of connection, routine, and the ordinary moments we rarely notice until they’re gone. A short reflection on what one night revealed, and why some things stay with us longer than we expect.

During: Surrounded By People, Completely Alone
This is the night itself. Recorded in real time from inside the stadium, this episode follows the experience as it unfolds, the build up, the discomfort, and the moments that don’t quite sit right. Being surrounded by people doesn’t always mean feeling connected. And sometimes, it’s not the cold or the ground beneath you that stands out, it’s the small, human things you suddenly realise you miss. This isn’t homelessness. It’s an experience. A brief glimpse into something far more complex. If you’d like to support the CEO Sleepout, you can find the link below. https://ceosleepout.enthuse.com/pf/chris-mcdonald

Before
Why take part in something like this? Before spending a night outside, I look back at my own experience of homelessnes, what it felt like, how I responded to it, and the mindset that kept me stuck longer than I care to admit. This isn’t the story people expect. But it’s the one that matters. https://ceosleepout.enthuse.com/pf/chris-mcdonald
