  • No One Teaches You This | Jason Sammon | Dealing with Difficult Clients
    May 27 2026

    Series 2 starts with a brilliant one.

    I’m joined by Jason Sammon, Founder of FL1 Digital, to talk about something most leaders, founders and managers will have dealt with at some point... difficult clients.

    But really, this episode is about difficult people full stop. The awkward conversations, power plays, unreasonable expectations, and those moments where someone can make you feel completely backed into a corner.

    Jason is incredibly honest about some of his own experiences, including times he got it wrong, what he learned, and how he ultimately turned some difficult relationships into positive ones.

    A very real conversation about something no one really teaches you.

  • No One Teaches You This | Dileep Marway | How To Deal With Conflict
    Jan 22 2026

    This episode of No One Teaches You This

    Managing conflict at work.


    Conflict is one of those things every leader faces… but very few are ever taught how to handle it properly.


    In this episode, I’m joined by Dileep Marway, an experienced tech leader who’s spent years navigating disagreement, tension, and tough conversations inside growing teams.


    We talk openly about:


    Whether conflict is actually a good thing


    The difference between healthy debate and damaging conflict


    How leaders can manage conflict without avoiding it or escalating it


    Why handling conflict well can have a huge positive impact on your career


    What happens when conflict is ignored for too long


    This is a practical, honest conversation for anyone leading people, stepping into leadership, or dealing with friction inside their team.

  • No One Teaches You This | Iain Campbell | Imposter Syndrome
    Dec 8 2025

    This episode of No One Teaches You This dives into one of the most common — and least talked about — challenges in leadership: Imposter Syndrome.


    That quiet voice that tells you you’re not good enough.

    That feeling of being “found out”.

    That pressure to prove yourself, even when you’ve already earned your seat at the table.


    I’m joined by Iain Campbell — an experienced tech leader who speaks openly and honestly about dealing with imposter syndrome throughout his career. (LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/iainca/)


    We talk candidly about self-doubt, confidence, identity, leadership pressure, and what it’s really like behind the scenes when you’re expected to have all the answers.


    This isn’t theory. It’s real leadership, in the real world.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • What imposter syndrome actually feels like at senior level

    • Why high performers are often the ones who suffer most

    • The pressure of leadership identity and expectations

    • How comparison quietly wrecks confidence

    • Why promotion can make self-doubt worse, not better

    • Practical ways to manage imposter syndrome day to day

    • What to do when your inner critic is louder than your evidence


    If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “good enough” — especially as you progress in your career — this one will really hit home.
