Welcome back to Lollie After Tech! In this episode, Lollie dives deep into a provocative new term: Tech Stockholm Syndrome—the emotional attachment we develop to the very tech organizations that drain, exploit & burn us out.
In today’s episode, Lollie introduces a shiny (and slightly disturbing) new term: Tech Stockholm Syndrome—aka that special kind of trauma bond we form with the tech orgs that steal our time, sanity, and probably our sleep schedule.
Are you still defending your organization even though it’s been disrespecting you since 2019? Do you say, “I need my company while spiraling into a 3-hour depression hole? Congratulations, you may be emotionally compromised by your tech organization
Expect:

Dramatic signs that there is a problem

✨ Come for the laughs, stay for the existential dread (and tips on how to reclaim your brain).

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
