AMBUSH On Air: Leaving the System That Forgot Why It Exists


Listen Later

In this episode, Sam Bush is joined by Nicole Ronchetti, for a discussion that was sparked by Nicole's blog - “I Didn’t Leave Tech. I Left a System That Forgot Why It Exists”—a powerful piece that names what so many people are feeling but rarely say out loud.

This is a conversation about burnout, broken systems, and the quiet disillusionment happening across tech and B2B. It’s about how performance replaced people, productivity eclipsed purpose, and how many talented leaders—especially women—are stepping away not because they can’t do the work, but because the system stopped working for them.

You’ll hear honest reflections on:

  • Why “resilience” has become a dangerous expectation

  • How corporate tech lost sight of its human impact

  • The difference between leaving a job and reclaiming yourself

  • What rebuilding trust, meaning, and community could actually look like

This episode isn’t about quitting.
It’s about remembering why we started—and deciding what we’re no longer willing to accept.

If you’ve ever felt like you were burning out in silence, questioning your place, or wondering whether the problem was really you—this one’s for you.

Subscribe for more conversations on modern work, leadership, community, and the future of B2B—human-first, always.
