Discovering the creativity in all of us | Tyler Malek | TEDxPortland

Tyler Malek courageously shares his plight of feeling like a creative fraud. However, he reframes the conversation to address the question are people born with creativity or is it developed? With endearing confidence, likeability and humor, he shares that creativity is a practiced skill that everyone can learn and integrate in their day to day lives. His idea - that creativity is logical and systematic. Don't believe him? Just try his ice cream...
With special thanks to core the TEDxPortland organizing team, 70+ volunteers and cherished partners - without you this experience would not be possible. Our event history can be found TEDxPortland.com
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
In early 2011, Tyler heard that his cousin Kim Malek was opening an ice cream shop called Salt & Straw. He convinced her to take him on, dropped everything, and moved to Portland. Using an ice cream maker he found at Goodwill, Tyler began his new role as head ice cream maker. He’s created more than 600 flavors with his R&D department and helped change the way America eats. Thanks to him, we’re all a bit saltier. And sweeter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
