Born Out of the Ashes
In this Sandbox Story, you will get an example of how a company reversed its path to demise in the 1970’s by taking older technology to save their business – the result being an amazingly simple household instrument. And from that, you can contemplate negative situations in your practice and decide how you can make the most of them, allowing great ideas to be “born out of the ashes.”
