Adam Savage on Colossal Failure
Penguin June 9th, 2009
Adam Savage, one of the hosts of Mythbusters, shares his insights into colossal failure. He shares 2 great stories that are crucial to who he is and his career.
Aside from the moral of the story, that failure is ok and to ask for help, is Adam’s storytelling. At every turn, there’s an obstacle that he over comes. But the triumph is short lived when his success turns into another obstacle. And so it goes, that by the end of the story, you desperately want him to succeed. But he doesn’t. That’s good storytelling.
