He's interested in each person as individuals and not at all as their status in the industry, so if they're taking the conversation in a direction he may not have expected, he remains fully engaged with them because he wants to know about them.
Seeing Adam and reading the title of this video made me feel the way I felt when I watched Parks and Rec for the first time. Thank you, Ben Wyatt. I needed to hear this.
TELEthruVOXx I read poetry at an open mic and completely froze. I was mortified and felt like shit. Then the next day I felt liberated. Like, I’m shit, I know that now. But that’s freeing. I can see where to get better. It’s no longer abstract, wondering what will happen. I know I suck with maybe some potential. That’s motivation to keep being terrible. I don’t want to make that a career. I’m very good at what i do for work. I’m so excited to be terrified and terrible and vulnerable. It’s invaluable to really embrace how bad it is and want to become better. Long winded way of saying to keep with it. Even if you always “suck”, there’s value in you doing it. I respect the hell out of that. I like watching people who are amazing. But even more I like watching people trying to figure it out. It’s inspiring that someone would have the drive to keep doing it. Once you fail terribly that fear becomes concrete. The nerves are a great thing to push through.
Apparently Aerosmith had a weekly meeting called "Dare to Suck", where they pitched any idea to each other with no criticism And it led to some great creative things
It's sorta funny because I discovered Adam in Step Brothers and he did such a great job with his character that I was just like screw this guy this guy's a douche! Then I discovered Parks &a Recreation!
I am a school psychologist and I hate my job because of the politics of it. I love working with the kids, but the rest is nonsense. I wish things were as easy as failing and trying again... Not in this profession.
I feel your pain. I was a middle and high school science teacher for 9 years. People say "UGH, teenagers!" I LOVED my teenagers and I never had a problem dealing with them because I expected them to ACT like teenagers. The unsupportive administrators and parents were what drove me away.
I’ll bet that advising students that it’s OK to fail (or worse yet, do something that sucks!) as an almost essential step on the way to success is liable to (and correct me if I’m wrong, here) get you fired?! The rigid rules most school systems seem to labor under (if a kid pops an Advil, suspend him “for drugs”) aren’t merely incompatible with real life, but the process of learning/thinking.

These interviews are so worthwhile, so glad I stumbled across this channel
what is it about sam jones that has people opening up so fully, has people being so openly vulnerable? absolutely love this series.
Empathy.
He's an actor they have things in common and the actors that are on the show clearly respect him, he also asks good and original questions

He’s researched his guests, asks good (original) questions, & actively listens.
This is the best actor interview channel!! Hands down.
They show themselves and their thoughts.

I do things that suck. My open mic guitar stuff blows. Even friends tell me. But I still do it.
Respect my friend, do what pleases you and don't care too much about what other think of you.

Love you, bro
Adam Scott is like that lake you know is way deeper that you know and would want to know. I wish there were lives of this.
I’m glad I found this channel, subscribed
Well, however it happened, Adam Scott's character is a real gem within "Step Brothers". So, so funny.
I love this as a mantra for creating, since you can only make what you're working on better if you give yourself permission to fail.

Watch Ben Stiller's " Walter Mitty" remake: This guy is great as the A hole corporate schmuck.
Way back he played a charasmatic prick as Griff Hawkins in Boy Meets World
Haha I didn’t recognise him from step brothers when I first watched parks, and only now did I realise he was in Walter Mitty. Testament to his range
Not being afraid of failing... 🤗

I keep doing things that suck... Must be on the right path!
this interview is 4 years old... how are hawaiian shirts not a major trend yet?
I'd much rather watch these than those canned, pretentious interviews by James Lipton.

tania alarcon I feel ya, man. Too much “game playing” in professions where it’s really not necessary.
