Scenario

When your team struggles with the meaninglessness of work in the face of mortality

Our startup team keeps talking about 'legacy' and 'what we're building for the future' but underneath I think we're all terrified that our work doesn't matter and we'll be forgotten and no one wants to say that out loud because it sounds too dramatic.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is caught between the pressure to create lasting meaning and the anxiety that nothing they do will ultimately matter.
