“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” — Charles Darwin
You’ve heard the classic definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
But in today’s world, insanity might also mean doing the same thing in a new environment—and expecting the same results.
Hi, I’m Angie Dobransky, founder of RAD Strategic Partners and your coach for RADical success. Today, I want to talk about staying current, staying sane, and staying successful—in a world that’s evolving faster than ever.
Change Isn’t Optional—It’s Inevitable
Look around: the pace of business, technology, and communication has exploded. What worked in 2015—or even 2022—may not work today.
The companies that stay relevant aren’t the ones who resist change. They’re the ones who lean into it.
🧨 Blockbuster? Gone.
🧨 Kodak? Overtaken.
🧨 The Yellow Pages? Ancient history.
The same is true in our own lives. If we’re clinging to outdated tools, strategies, or habits—we’re quietly falling behind.
Redefining Insanity in the Modern Age
Insanity today is:
- Refusing to learn new tools
- Ignoring emerging trends
- Running a business the same way despite new challenges
- Burning out while trying to “keep up” the old way
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to overhaul everything. Small, intentional shifts can spark powerful results.
“Change is not a threat, it’s an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.” — Seth Godin
5 Ways to Stay Current Without Losing Your Mind
- Track the Trends
Set alerts for your industry. Stay informed, not overwhelmed. - Embrace Technology Intentionally
You don’t need every app. Just understand what your audience is using. - Try New Things Regularly
New habits, new skills, new tools—even small experiments keep your brain adaptable. - Keep Learning
Take a course, follow thought leaders, or subscribe to podcasts that expand your view. - Reevaluate What’s “Always Worked”
If a method is draining you or underperforming, it might be time to evolve.
✅ Your RADical Action: Personal Innovation Audit
This week, run a 5-step audit:

- Identify – Where are you using outdated tools, systems, or beliefs?
- Research – What’s a new platform, idea, or method to explore?
- Act – Try it. Test it. Stay curious.
- Review – What changed? What improved?
You don’t need massive disruption—just a willingness to shift.
