No One Told Me This
No One Told Me This is a podcast about culture, leadership, teams, and all the tricky stuff that never makes the onboarding pack.
Hosted by Paul, this show dives into the honest, often messy reality of working with people, what we get wrong, what we learn the hard way, and what no one told us...or maybe we just weren’t listening.
From awkward feedback loops to team tension, shifting culture, and the pressure to “perform,” each episode offers a grounded take on what it really means to lead well when things are going well (or not).
Whether you’re building a team, shaping culture, or just trying to lead without losing the plot, you’re in good company here.

S01E05 - Waste Factory (Part 2): The Time Furnace
Where did the week go?
This is Episode 5 of No One Told Me This, and Part 2 of The Waste Factory — a six-part mini-series exploring the inefficiencies every business pays for (but no one budgets).
In this episode, we step into the Time Furnace - probably the biggest department in the whole factory.
The place where meetings burn hours without decisions, where approvals stall in inboxes, and where priorities blur into busywork.
No smoke, no fire alarm, just time quietly disappearing.
You’ll hear real-world examples, irreverent commentary, and a few practical ways to spot the scorch marks in your own week.
Because your team might not be wasting time.
But something’s burning it.
