In a world that feels increasingly uncertain and hostile, Adam Savage has a simple yet powerful message to lead with kindness, empathy, and respect.
The MythBusters creator recently shared his perspective on how these values have shaped every good thing in his life, saying, “Everything good in my life, everything good I have achieved, is because of kindness, empathy, and respect.”
Savage believes in leaving every place better than you found it and always considering the impact you have on others. It’s a philosophy that feels meaningful today, reminding fans that being decent and thoughtful isn’t just good practice, it’s essential for creative collaboration and personal growth.
Savage also touched on the idea that the “skill to build” isn’t just about technical ability but about how you treat the people you work with.
“The skill to build is to be easy to work with,” he explained, emphasizing that kindness and humility open more doors than ego ever could.
In the end he believes that being kind, empathetic, and respectful is the best way to move through the world.
