Kim Paull and Pancho Gomez are two curious, opinionated friends who love nothing more than to change their own minds. Now That You See It is a podcast about the moments when a belief shifts — and what's possible once it does.
Each episode, they dig into the ideas, biases, and assumptions that quietly run our lives — the ones so familiar we've stopped questioning them. Sometimes a guest joins. Sometimes it's just the two of them, thinking out loud together toward something neither of them expected.
They cover the hidden operating system behind everyday stuff: why we judge others faster than ourselves, how our personalities might be inherited survival strategies, what actually makes change stick, why friendships get harder when we're grown.
Conversations go long because that's when the big aha moments hit.
If you've ever caught yourself wondering if anyone else saw that glitch in the matrix, you're in the right place.
Good intentions don’t guarantee good leadership.
In this shortisode, Kim and Pancho look at management behaviors that often feel helpful to the person doing them, who is clueless about the damage they're doing. Being nice instead of kind, protecting employees from too much reality, tolerating underperformance to preserve morale, overcorrecting or under-directing, avoiding a rocky relationship, and trying to motivate a team that’s already in crisis - all examples of real-world coaching scenarios we've coached leaders through.
The common problem is that leaders can become so focused on reducing discomfort that they don't challenge their coworkers and direct reports to grow.
Sometimes protecting someone creates fragility.
Giving someone space could be interpreted as rejection.
Enthusiasm and encouragement in a crisis further agitate people who need a calm person with a plan.
This episode is an invitation to reconsider whether your intentions have the effect you intended.

10 Coaching Questions We Ask All the Time
A surprising amount of coaching involves asking a question that sounds almost annoyingly simple.
What do you want to do with that?
And what else?
What do you think?
Powerful questions don't need to be clever or elaborate. They just need to disrupt the status quo that keeps people stuck: storytelling, certainty, avoidance, outsourcing judgment, or getting so mired in the details that you lose sight of the bigger picture.
In this shortisode, Kim and Pancho share the questions they find themselves using most often with coaching clients, from imagining a typical Tuesday in the life you’re trying to create to asking what you would have to feel if you couldn’t keep intellectualizing your way around it.
We rarely need someone else to tell us what to do. Instead, we need a question that pushes us to take a new perspective and decide for ourselves.

How We Ensure the Outcomes We're Avoiding
Sometimes, usually without consciously realizing it, the behavior you use to cope with something you're trying to avoid ensures that exact outcome.
Joe Hudson calls this the golden algorithm. We act in ways designed to prevent an unwanted outcome, and those same behaviors ensure it. Once you notice the pattern, it starts showing up everywhere.
In this shortisode, Kim and Pancho trade examples from work, relationships, interviews, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and leadership. Trying not to look incompetent can keep you from asking the questions that would make you competent. Avoiding conflict can create resentment and a much bigger conflict later. Trying not to be socially awkward can make you so self-conscious that you become awkward.
Pancho takes the same pattern into relationships: when you’re afraid of disappointing someone, withdrawing can feel safer than showing up imperfectly. But absence may be far more disappointing than whatever inadequacy you were trying to hide.
The common thread is that avoidance distorts behavior. If you don’t want to keep creating the thing you fear, the better move may be to stop side-stepping the discomfort and start telling the truth.
