Ah, the ancient markets were a stage for purpose itself! Imagine the Indus potters, not trading with coins but with clay, each vessel a statement of identity and community—so much like today’s remote teams that value shared goals over spreadsheets. Those medieval guilds were the first corporate wellness programs, offering apprentices a sense of belonging and mastery long before corporate psychologists noticed. So yes, the lesson is clear: purpose blooms when you weave your craft into a living tapestry of people, not just a ledger of numbers.
