Feel like the world’s spinning faster than ever? You’re not wrong—and “just go with the flow” won’t cut it anymore. Join us for another Deep Dive in this provocative episode of Geeks Geezers and Googlization. Guest hosts Casey and Eli dive deep into the Adaptability Deficit, a term coined by Ira S Wolfe, and why it might be the single greatest threat to your personal and professional survival.

We unpack why flexibility is reactive, adaptability is proactive, and why your success now hinges more on your AQ (Adaptability Quotient) than your IQ or EQ. You’ll learn:

  • The crucial difference between being flexible and being adaptable

  • Why adaptability is a skill, not a personality trait

  • How to identify your adaptability blind spots

  • The 5 essential steps to build your adaptability muscle—starting now

In a world that’s “never normal,” it’s not the smartest or strongest who thrive—it’s the most adaptable. So… are you ready to evolve?

Hit play and future-proof your life.
