Most people working in commerce rarely get time to reflect on the systems they build, the incentives they reinforce, or the long-term impact of their work.

This 10-day meditation series was created to offer that space, delivering you one short moment each day to pause, think more deeply, and reconnect with why commerce matters.

‍If you're struggling to find meaning and purpose in your work, you're not alone. The fast-paced and constantly-evolving nature of the eCommerce industry can make it easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. A daily cerebration (guided reading and reflection) can provide a space for reflection and contemplation, helping eCommerce professionals to connect with their values and understand the role that commerce plays in society.

What to expect

A daily written reflection you can read in under five minutes. Each day includes a short essay and a prompt designed to encourage thoughtful consideration. If you work in commerce and want a more grounded, thoughtful relationship with the systems you help build, you’re invited to join us.

What we'll cover

Day One: The Role of Commerce in Society‍

How exchange shapes communities, specialization, and collective progress.

Day Two: Commerce, Innovation, and Progress‍

How markets accelerate ideas and where they create unintended consequences.

Day Three: The Cost of Obsession

What happens when efficiency, growth, and optimization become identity.

Day Four: Responsibility and Ethics

The role of businesses in shaping outcomes beyond profit.

Day Five: You as an Agent of Change

How individual decisions ripple through organizations.

Day Six: Globalization and Interdependence

How supply chains connect lives across borders.

Day Seven: Consumerism, ESG, and Accountability

Where values meet purchasing behavior.

Day Eight: Bias, Boundaries, and Long-Term Thinking

How incentives influence judgment and design.

Day Nine: Government and Regulation

The systems that guide, constrain, and correct markets.

Day Ten: Commerce as a Catalyst

How commerce becomes a force for meaningful change.
