In a stroke of genius, Adam Savage — former cohost of the celebrated Discovery Channel’s MythBusters series and author of Every Tool’s a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It — managed to turn these three things into a wildly successful career. In this episode, Adam and Jordan discuss why you’ll be happier and probably wind up in a career you actually like if you pay heed to your obsessions rather than being bullied out of them, the value of deadlines for everything from assembling costumes to building props to interviewing people for podcasts, why regular and honest introspection is one of the most important duties a human being can take on, the power of an expanded vocabulary, the universality of imposter syndrome, and much more. What We Discuss with Adam Savage: 🔨 What you have to gain by paying heed to your obsessions. 🔨 The sublime benefits of real expertise. 🔨 How deadlines spur action past the bottleneck of intended perfection. 🔨 The universality of imposter syndrome. 🔨 How an expanded vocabulary leads to unexplored solutions. 🔨 And much more… 📖 Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It by Adam Savage Buy on Amazon: https://geni.us/G8OBE Subscribe to the Jordan Harbinger Show here: http://jordanharbinger.com/subscribe/ Follow Jordan and The Jordan Harbinger Show _______________________________________________ Website: http://jordanharbinger.com/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/thejordanharbingershow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanharbinger/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jordanharbinger/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/jordanharbinger/ Subscribe: http://jordanharbinger.com/subscribe/
