Adam Savage’s Go-To Survival Kit
Adam Savage kicks things off by reminding us that empathy, kindness and respect are non-negotiable tools for getting through tough, hostile times. He’s not looking to rewrite his past—every win and flop made him who he is today—but he does challenge the “scarcity model,” the idea that resources (and opportunities) are limited. Instead, he urges us to flip to an abundance mindset, where there’s enough room for everyone to play, create and succeed.
Gatekeeping vs. Paying Your Dues
Savage draws a clear line between needless gatekeeping—putting up arbitrary barriers just to feel exclusive—and the honest grind of paying your dues, which is all about putting in the work and earning your skills. He unpacks these ideas in a cozy livestream chat with Tested members, answering questions and sharing how he’s personally navigating this wild world.
