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.

S01E12 - Waste Factory (Part 6): Burn It Down or Fix It
We’ve taken the full tour. Through the Time Furnace, the Rework Loop, the Silence Budget, and the Talent Skip Bin.
Now it’s time to talk about what happens next.
In this final episode of Inside the Waste Factory, Paul and Jase close the loop, unpacking why most businesses don’t fix the waste they see, what it takes to change that, and how to start noticing the quiet inefficiencies eating your time, energy, and profit.
You don’t have to burn it all down, but you do have to decide what stays, what goes, and what gets fixed for real.
🎧 Episode highlights:
- Why waste gets normalised (and how to break that cycle)
- The first step to spotting hidden costs in your business
