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.

S01E02 - Would You Follow You?
Three deceptively simple questions. That’s it. No frameworks, no buzzwords. Just an honest gut check about how you lead, how you work with others, and whether you’re actually someone people would choose to follow.
In this episode of No One Told Me This, we’re talking about leadership, not the title, not the job description, but the real stuff: how you show up.
Grab a pen (or just listen while you walk the dog), because here are the questions:
- Who are you here for?
- What’s it like to work with you?
- Would you follow you?
If the answers make you squirm a little, good. That’s where the work starts.
If you found this useful, share it with someone who leads (even if they don’t have the title). And if you try these questions this week, let me know. I’d love to hear what you found.
