Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires a
lot of show prep. My podcasting platform features thousands of guests.
Now what you don't have access to are my missed opportunities.
The show prep was one hundred percent completed. The conversation
didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because I
believe that one day paths will cross again. Let me
explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without their answers.
I'm leaving open enough space at the end of every question,
hoping they'll download the talk and insert their answers. Missed
opportunity is a lost piece of history, like a message
in a bottle. It's been tossed out to see I
hope to locate a destination. This week, we're putting focus
on my missed opportunity with Adam Savage from MythBusters. Adam Savage, Wow,
the star of Discovery channels MythBusters, one of the most
beloved figures in science and tech, a new book in
twenty nineteen. It was called Every Tools a Hammer Now.
In it, he shares his golden rules of creativity, from
finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea
a reality, and there was an audiobook attached to it,
perfect for sharing life lessons such as using more cooling
fluid when it comes to using your drill bits never
even thought about that. He teaches readers how to slow
down in life and reduce things that cause friction at
work as well as in love. Now, the conversation was
set for June nineteenth, twenty nineteen, at twelve fifteen pm.
There was an enormous amount of emails and we were
exchanging them like it was the hottest thing on the charts.
Several disconnections were made during those fourteen days, and then
finally on June fifth, twenty nineteen, the conversation was pretty
much set in stone, but it had to come with
a new time and that's why I chose twelve to
fifteen pm. They wrote back with many thanks. I was
sent every dition connection to show prep. It included creating
an account of my own and password. It was like what, well,
you got to keep in mind this was twenty nineteen,
long before Zoom even came into play, so you had
to put up with those other things we did before
the lockdown. The conversation did become a Missed Opportunity Coming
up next my questions and statements for Adam Savage from MythBusters. Hey,
welcome back to Missed Opportunity. Our missed opportunity this week
Adam Savage from MythBusters. I really wish I could have
had this talk with Adam Savage. Here are the questions.
The book once again is titled Every Tool's a Hammer,
Turning your ideas into reality? How do you get past
self judgment in order to do what you did on MythBusters?
It requires what inner belief and confidence. The world of
business and creativity needs to be upskilled. This is a
valuable key tool. We live in a world where bad
days lead to bad decisions, which then leads to what
we're wasting time being able to share the lessons. How
difficult was it to say I need to be transparent
in this moment so that readers will understand what I'm
trying to share. This isn't just a book of your
challenges and victories. You share others as well. The audiobook
itself puts listeners right there, as if we're sitting next
to you. When in doubt, do you ever recover enough
space to grow or replenish your own personal forest. There
you have it, missed opportunity, a lost piece of history.
You now know the questions, Let's locate the answers is
always going to be open. If you are or no
