Adam Savage's Tested: Advice on Enduring Today's Uncertain, Hostile Times

In a recent live stream, Adam Savage dishes out straightforward advice for grappling with today’s uncertain, often stressful world. He stresses starting every interaction with empathy, kindness and respect—simple yet powerful tools for defusing hostility and forging real connections.

He also looks back at his own journey, noting he wouldn’t erase past mistakes since they shaped who he is. He breaks down the “scarcity model,” where people hoard skills to feel superior, and champions sharing knowledge instead. And on gatekeeping versus paying dues, he suggests trading arbitrary barriers for genuine mentorship, so newcomers can prove themselves without jumping through pointless hoops.
