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.

S01E09 - Waste Factory (Part 4): The Silence Budget
You’ve probably paid into it without realising.
Welcome to The Silence Budget - Part 4 of Inside the Waste Factory.
In this episode, Paul and Jason explore the quietest (and most expensive) department in any business: the cost of things left unsaid.
From fear and apathy to unclear ownership, they unpack why teams go silent, what it really costs, and how leaders can lower the bill.
🎧 If you’ve ever thought it but didn’t say it, then this one’s for you.
