Adam Savage’s Guide to Surviving Uncertain Times

In this Tested live-stream clip, Adam Savage dishes on leaning into empathy, kindness and respect as your go-to survival tools for today’s unpredictable, often hostile world. He also reflects on his own life—hint: no regrets—and explains why buying into a “scarcity model” (the idea there’s only so much to go around) is a one-way ticket to stress-town.

Savage then digs into a hot topic in creative circles: when is advice or skill-checking a form of gatekeeping, and when is it simply asking folks to pay their dues? His take helps you spot the difference between guarding a craft and nurturing genuine growth.
