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.

S01E11 - Waste Factory (Part 5): The Talent Skip Bin
Behind the Time Furnace. Past the Rework Loop. Just near the skip bin.
No, not the one for old chairs and monitors, but the Talent Skip Bin.
It’s where good people get wasted.
In Part 5 of Inside the Waste Factory, Paul and Jase look at how capable, motivated people end up buried under low-value work, legacy tasks, and “busy” that doesn’t move the needle.
From over-management to misaligned roles and cultural ghosting, they unpack how talent quietly disappears from your business, and how to get it back.
🎧 If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Why isn’t that person doing more of what they’re great at?”
This one’s for you.
