There is an old American legend about a larger-than-life lumberjack, Paul Bunyan, whose mighty axe carved forests and shaped the frontier. As the story goes, Paul faced off against a steam-powered saw that threatened to outpace his manual brute force effort. With his trusty ox, Babe, by his side, he tackled the challenge head-on. He challenged the innovators to a contest, swinging his axe with all his might. Despite his heroic effort, the machine edged him out by a quarter-inch, and Paul walked away, humbled but not broken. Paul taught us that it’s about facing change head-on and finding your place in a new era.
