System Override

by Shannon Burch

The "Old Way" of working isn't just outdated—it’s crashing. AI is rewriting the rules, corporate culture is on life support, and the career ladder you were promised no longer exists. Welcome to System Override, the weekly briefing for the leaders, renegades, and skeptics who are tired of the status quo. Every Monday, Leeg's CEO Bri Falls and CGO Shannon Burch rip open the week’s headlines to debate the real collision between humanity and technology. We don’t just read the news; we diagnose the "glitches" in the system and give you the manual override to fix them. From the ethics of AI management to the truth about why your best people are quitting, we bridge the gap between career ownership and workplace evolution with zero filter. The system is broken. Let’s build a new one.
