When a massive tree unexpectedly crashes in my backyard, an epic battle begins, fueled by sweat, strategy, and just a little Slate-fueled spite.

But this isn’t just about yard work.

In this cinematic mini-episode, we follow the duel between man and nature, told in classic anime style… until the axe gives way to insight.

From fallen limbs to broken logic models, this Forge tale is a metaphor for the work we all do in higher ed, CRM strategy, and Adaptive Enrollment Management. Clearing clutter. Reclaiming space. Building systems that can stand.

Because sometimes, the first strike isn’t about building something new. It’s about cutting down what no longer serves you.

🎙️ Part anime battle. Part enrollment allegory. Fully forged.
