I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting, shaking his hand and listening to Mr Adam Savage speak about his life. It was a fascinating talk and time seemed to move just a little faster with Adam in the room. Adam along with Jamie Hynemam created Mythbusters and some other creators followed him into this shortly after. Those being Tory Bellici, Kari Byron, Scottie Chapman and Grant Imahara. What you might not know is that Adam’s Mum was a Psychotherapist and his Father was a very creative writer, Advertising guy, painter, film maker and animator on Sesame Street. Adam has done countless models in the Star wars franchise, The Matrix sequel movies (which he apologised for), had a spin off show for kids in Mythbusters Jr and he continues to produce content on his own youtube channel Tested. Adam is exactly what you see, there seems to be no difference on screen and in person and he is exceptionally intelligent. He accepts his neurospicey-ness and offered some poignant moments around being kind to others within his talk. I came away from the day uplifted by this. This is absolutely my version of selfcare finding inspiration during my downtime through interactions like this. Thank you Adam.
