1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,719
Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires a

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:09,199
lot of show prep. My podcasting platform features thousands of guests.

3
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:12,000
Now what you don't have access to are my missed opportunities.

4
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:16,000
The show prep was one hundred percent completed. The conversation

5
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:19,320
didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because I

6
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:22,519
believe that one day paths will cross again. Let me

7
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:27,000
explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without their answers.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320
I'm leaving open enough space at the end of every question,

9
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:34,640
hoping they'll download the talk and insert their answers. Missed

10
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:38,240
opportunity is a lost piece of history, like a message

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,520
in a bottle. It's been tossed out to see I

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,840
hope to locate a destination. This week, we're putting focus

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:52,320
on my missed opportunity with Adam Savage from MythBusters. Adam Savage, Wow,

14
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:56,200
the star of Discovery channels MythBusters, one of the most

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,719
beloved figures in science and tech, a new book in

16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:03,960
twenty nineteen. It was called Every Tools a Hammer Now.

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,319
In it, he shares his golden rules of creativity, from

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,760
finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,159
a reality, and there was an audiobook attached to it,

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,120
perfect for sharing life lessons such as using more cooling

21
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:21,040
fluid when it comes to using your drill bits never

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,400
even thought about that. He teaches readers how to slow

23
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,560
down in life and reduce things that cause friction at

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,400
work as well as in love. Now, the conversation was

25
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:36,200
set for June nineteenth, twenty nineteen, at twelve fifteen pm.

26
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:40,040
There was an enormous amount of emails and we were

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,680
exchanging them like it was the hottest thing on the charts.

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Several disconnections were made during those fourteen days, and then

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,560
finally on June fifth, twenty nineteen, the conversation was pretty

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,959
much set in stone, but it had to come with

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,640
a new time and that's why I chose twelve to

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,680
fifteen pm. They wrote back with many thanks. I was

33
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,439
sent every dition connection to show prep. It included creating

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,719
an account of my own and password. It was like what, well,

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,159
you got to keep in mind this was twenty nineteen,

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,280
long before Zoom even came into play, so you had

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,639
to put up with those other things we did before

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,479
the lockdown. The conversation did become a Missed Opportunity Coming

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:30,560
up next my questions and statements for Adam Savage from MythBusters. Hey,

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,199
welcome back to Missed Opportunity. Our missed opportunity this week

41
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,960
Adam Savage from MythBusters. I really wish I could have

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,039
had this talk with Adam Savage. Here are the questions.

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,240
The book once again is titled Every Tool's a Hammer,

44
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,000
Turning your ideas into reality? How do you get past

45
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:55,639
self judgment in order to do what you did on MythBusters?

46
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,599
It requires what inner belief and confidence. The world of

47
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,479
business and creativity needs to be upskilled. This is a

48
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:11,199
valuable key tool. We live in a world where bad

49
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,479
days lead to bad decisions, which then leads to what

50
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:19,800
we're wasting time being able to share the lessons. How

51
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,599
difficult was it to say I need to be transparent

52
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:26,599
in this moment so that readers will understand what I'm

53
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,800
trying to share. This isn't just a book of your

54
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:37,560
challenges and victories. You share others as well. The audiobook

55
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:41,479
itself puts listeners right there, as if we're sitting next

56
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,840
to you. When in doubt, do you ever recover enough

57
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,240
space to grow or replenish your own personal forest. There

58
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,719
you have it, missed opportunity, a lost piece of history.

59
00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:00,560
You now know the questions, Let's locate the answers is

60
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680
