Advice from Adam Savage on Tough Times
Adam Savage popped into a live stream to say that in these uncertain, sometimes hostile days, your best tools are empathy, kindness and respect. He’s not about rewriting his history—you can’t change the past, so focus on what you can do now. He also breaks down the “scarcity model” (the idea that resources or opportunities are so limited everyone’s forced to compete) and why that mindset only fuels anxiety.
On the topic of gatekeeping versus paying your dues, Adam points out there’s a sweet spot between outright exclusion and asking people to earn their stripes. Put in the work, stay curious, and lean on mentors when you need to—there’s room for everyone if we ditch the hoarding mentality.
