No One Told Me This
No One Told Me This is a podcast about leadership, teams, and workplace culture, not as they’re meant to work, but as they’re actually experienced.
Hosted by Paul, the show explores the unspoken realities of working with people, the assumptions we make, the tensions we avoid, and the things we often learn the hard way. Through solo reflections, candid conversations, and the occasional deep dive, it’s a space to make sense of how work really gets done.
From culture drift and team dynamics to decision-making under pressure, each episode takes a grounded, thoughtful look at what leadership looks like in practice, especially when things aren’t neat or predictable.
Because sometimes the most important lessons aren’t the ones we’re taught. They’re the ones no one told us… or maybe we just weren’t listening.

S01E01 – Doing the Thing: Why leading is messier than they told you
So you’ve stepped up, spoken up, or been tapped on the shoulder… and now you’re supposed to lead?
This episode is for the ones who find themselves doing the thing, leading a team, shaping a culture, driving a business... without the manual. I talk about the real experience of stepping into leadership, why it often feels awkward, and how we confuse being “nice” with being a good leader.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is it just me?” - it’s not. You’re in good company.
