In a world where AI threatens jobs and geopolitics grows ever more chaotic, this interactive comedic-therapeutic show offers sharp, hopeful insight. Sharath Jeevan OBE – a leading advisor and Founder of the Generational Success Lab at Oxford’s Said Business School – invites us to rethink what legacy truly means. Through confessional storytelling and crowd-work, he explores how his generation helped create a future bleaker than the present and how each of us can still chart a more meaningful path by reimagining how we choose to live now.
