From Adam Savage’s Tested.
Watch this video on YouTube ↗
Adam answers Tested member questions about passing down knowledge and his philosophy on teaching, mentorship and learning. From growing up around a 1910 Brunswick pool table to discovering W. Timothy Gallwey’s legendary The Inner Game of Tennis, Adam reflects on the power of embodied learning, muscle memory and getting out of your own way when acquiring physical skills. Plus, he dives into his love of 35mm film photography, classic darkrooms, and why he avoids overly precious cameras! With thanks to murphycm100, rodpop and jonathanborup6060 for their support and questions! How do YOU learn best?
